CUBA'S CITIES HAVE STREETS THAT LOOK LIKE WAR ZONES

What's wrong with the rich Cubans in Miami? What are they thinking about? Has the good life in America made them soft, made them forget the people they left behind? Or are they simply afraid of Castro's minions, his spies, who live in Flrorida?

Yeah, I know that there are many Cubans and Cuban-Americans working their butts off to help those held in virtual slavery by Fidel, an island that is really nothing more one huge concentration camp. They feel it every single day of their lives and never forget those they left behind. But, it takes money for them to do the job they need to do in order to influence both American and foreign opinion about Fidel, to expose that Cockroach for what he is, to tell the truth about Cuba to America's high school and college students.

It takes money to produce books, pamphlets, videos, movies, newspaper stores, ads and TV shows. And, that's what guys like Mario and Agustin, and a bunch of others lack. They toil away and struggle financially, but it seems to me, watching from afar, that they get little support. The one thing I notice is that Cubans have good manners, and in spite of their hatred for Castro, they won't refer to him a La Cucaracha or any other well-deserved appelation. Take off the kid gloves and come out fighting; he's worse than that, but why give him any respect at all? Imagine, Hollywood calling him Mr. President? What balderdash! That he ain't.

Some of those guys living on the Canals in Florida, luxuriating in the sun on their patios, could write a check for $100 grand today, and another tomorrow, and not miss it. Yet, do they do it? No. If they did, the propaganda war would start to slip away from the Liberals and the truth would begin to catch up with the lies told in our institutions of education. World opinion would begin to change as well.

It is stupidity to keep losing this propoganda war with that Cockroach. It is stupidity to pass up the opportunity that is within their grasp right now.

Look, the only success that the Communists can show for 45 years in control of Cuba has been built by, yes, by Capitalists! Imagine, cities decaying day by day, week by week, for 45 years simply falling apart, disintegrating before their very eyes. Then within a few years Canadian and English and other capitalists moved into the Tourist Zone and voila, Casto the Cockroach has millions of dollars pouring into his coffers! Imagine what Cuba would be like without that money today; there would be starvation on the island!

Publish pamphlets and make them available in every library in the country showing those buildings that have collapsed and opposite every one of those pictures, a photo of a hotel or a beach scene in the Tourist Zone. Smuggle pamphlets into Cuba. Ask Cubans why they live in poverty while the rest of the world visits Cuba and lives in luxury. Hell, float boxes of them in to Cuba. Fill the beaches with boxes of these pamphlets. Tourists can smuggle them in. There has never been such an opoortunity to turn things around.

Once that Cucaracha and his henchmen are gone, the business opportunities in Cuba will be endless. Those big-bellied millionaires luxuriating up and down the coast of Florida will have an opportunity to make more millions, and at the same time bring Cuba out of the poverty and l959 Time Warp it is in. They'll open up job opportunities for all Cubans.

Unhappiness breeds revolutions; show Cubans how the Great Cockroach lets foreign corporations make all the money, while denying the citizens of Cuba the same opportunity. Show it in ads in American newspapers. Show it in French newspapers, and Spanish newspapers, and Mexican newspapers.

Why wait two or five or ten years for God to squash the Cockroach; let Cubans do it now by providing them with the incentive to do it. Peaceful marches, Ghandi like, will do it. Just give them the encouragement to do it. Give them the incentive. Tell them what is waiting for them when they get rid of the Cockroach, tell them the paradise that they can build on that lovely island, that they too can live like the tourists and deserve to have the opportunity to do so.

So, you say, who the hell is this guy who is telling us what to do? How the hell does he know what we went through and what we're doing?

Let me tell you, I'v seen Communism up close, real close, in the USSR in 1944, but I already knew a lot about it, because I was reading about it for twelve years by then. I also saw Cuba when it was a prosperous bustling happy free country, before both Batista and that Cockroach, Fidel, ruined it. I knew men and women who fled Russia, who fled Hungary, who left Czechoslavakia, and Poland and other Communist countries. I heard their stories first hand and knew what they had gone through to escape, and how they felt about America. I know men who have spent time in prison for simply trying to leave a Communist country.

I will always encourage those who are not free to seek freedom, and to me, Cuba is now ripe for a day of awakening. Wait for the Cockroach to die and by then, Las Cucarachitas will have already set the wheels in motion to suppress the people who try to rise up. It must be done before he relinquishes control, either through a disabling stroke, or by dying.
