Don’t get me wrong, amigos. The “mainstream media” does not label gun-control-loving Tim Mc Graw’s upcoming tour in the same manner as does this column. Instead we read stuff like this:


“Tim McGraw to perform in (totalitarian) Cuba-- McGraw’s 2019 Memorial Day Weekend trek, dubbed “One of Those HavanaNights.”..The McGraw trip offers lodging in ocean-view rooms at (totalitarian) Havana’s upscale Meliá Hotel, where a box of cigars and a bottle of rum will await each traveler. The all-inclusive tour is designed to make foreigners' typical Havana dreams come true, featuring a ride around (totalitarian) Havana in a classic American convertible, a rumba party, and the chance to “Walk in the footsteps of Hemingway and Obama!” in Old (totalitarian) Havana….Prices range from $2,999 to $5,799 for the four days (May 24-27), which does include airfare, (totalitarian) Cuban visas, taxis and other incidentals.”

I apologize for spending time clarifying this issue, amigos. But there was a day when most Americans understood what the term “totalitarian” meant. Indeed, the longest reigning totalitarian dictator in modern history himself explained the issue: “Inside the Revolution (regime), everything-- outside, nothing.” (Fidel Castro, July 16, 1961.) Like with so many others, Castro copped this line from Benito Mussolini.

Despite all the poppycock/propaganda from the Fake News Media about “reforms” in Cuba, Raul Castro’s son Alejandro (a fanatical Stalinist and KGB-trained Colonel in Cuba’s Secret police) actually runs Cuba from behind the scenes.


In fact, when Trump-hating CIA director Brennan (secretly) traveled to Cuba in 2015 to do some advance work to help facilitate Obama’s whimpering surrender (called “opening” by the Fake Mews Media) to the Castro-Family Crime-Syndicate (called “Cuba” by the Fake News Media) the man he met with was Alejandro Castro.

You see, amigos: Cuba’s entire economic infrastructure (and especially the tourism industry infrastructure) is majority-owned — not only by the Stalinist regime’s military and secret police sectors (the only people in Cuba with guns, in case you’d forgotten) — but more specifically by the Castro family itself.

In a presentation a few years ago at a hearing by the House Foreign Affairs Committee debating travel to Cuba by U.S. citizens, Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Simmons, a recently retired Defense Intelligence Agency Cuba specialist, explained the issue in detail. He showed how through a corporation named GAESA, Raul Castro’s military owns virtually every corporation involved in Cuba’s tourism industry, among the Stalinist regime’s top money-makers lately.

Too funny! I watched the Rolling Stones 2016 concert in Havana on TV Friday night. It was awesome! Then they sang Cuba's national anthem:

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need, oh yeah

How did that work out for our diplomats?

=========================================
Castro's End: With Fidel Castro's death at 90, the encomiums are rolling in, especially from what remains of the American Big Media. But in fact, Castro during his 58 years of dictatorship was an evil man, a communist who tortured, killed and imprisoned with no remorse, a tyrant who tore a once-beautiful country apart and sent its finest citizens into exile.

Yet, the media might as well have been going around with black arm bands following Castro's death.

He was the "George Washington of his country," said Jim Avila of ABC's "Nightline." He "will be revered" for bringing education, social services and health care to Cubans, gushed MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell. CNN's Martin Savidge hailed Castro for "racial integration."

Elsewhere, in print, The New York Times recounted how he "dominated his country with strength and symbolism" — another way of saying he ruled through oppression and relentless propaganda.

Of course, all of these things are the kinds of lies and euphemisms used by left-leaning journalists to cover up for Castro's many crimes against humanity. And it's not limited to these few recent examples.

ABC's talk-queen Barbara Walters had what amounted to a middle-aged school-girl crush on Fidel. Film maker Oliver Stone, perhaps styling himself a latter-day Hemingway, revered Fidel's macho swagger and made a much-derided documentary about him, "Comandante." And Michael Moore, in his film "Sicko," swallowed Cuba's propaganda about its health care system hook, line and sinker.

We could go on. The list is long.

What you won't hear from any of these media mavens is that, at his death, Fidel Castro leaves a Cuba far worse off in almost every way than the one he took over in 1958. His brother, Raul, who is 85, has been the actual power in the country since Castro fell seriously ill in 2006. Cuba has improved under him, but not much.

After taking power in 1958, the then-youthful revolutionary Fidel vowed that no Cuban mother would "shed a tear" over violence from then on. But once he consolidated power after defeating Cuba's then-leader Fulgencio Batista, Fidel Castro set out on a course of extraordinary revolutionary violence.

He murdered thousands upon thousands. The late R.J. Rummel, a University of Hawaii professor who tracked mass-killings by governments around the world, estimated as many as 141,000 people were murdered by the Castro regime. And that was just through 1987. Since then, of course, thousands more have been killed.

Genocide Watch says it "holds the Castro regime responsible for the death of thousands of people (executed and died trying to flee the regime)." Both Belgium and Castro's homeland, Spain, have leveled genocide charges against the Jefe Maximo.

Sadly, Castro's Cuba isn't at all unusual for Communist regimes, as noted by Rummel. "Clearly, of all regimes, communist ones have been by far the greatest killer," he said.

What's especially galling is the suggestion -- present in almost every story on Castro's demise -- that he took an impoverished, oppressed nation and turned it into a kind of socialist paradise, with education, social services and health care for all.

This is an utter and complete lie. But don't take our word for it.

On the contrary. My problem is that our shameful President doesn’t have a problem with Khashoggi’s murder and denies it was the Saudi prince.
