For Cuba to be a free and prosperous country, it will take the attitude of Cubans in Cuba and outside of Cuba. The people of Cuba have been victims of nearly 50 years of the ego and crimes of one man. They of course chose this way as well. They allowed themselves to be manipulated by a man who is a puppet of Russia [before the USSR] and the Republicans and Democrats.
For Cuba to be free, this cardinal truth must be revealed. The USA and USSR were looking for more territory to use for their Cold War. The USSR [now Russia] was looking for a beachhead and the USA was looking for cheap professional labour since there was a shortage of professionals and workers. After all, the White Anglo-Saxons and their elite called Republicans and Democrats did not want to do the work of recently emancipated African Americans and other groups they decimated.
Fidel Castro fit the bill perfectly including those who harboured hatred and resentment. The rest is history. Churches were destroyed, lives were destroyed by the firing squad, prison, torture, exile, wars in Africa [supposedly to maintain Communist Regimes in Africa but in reality to keep an eye on the interests of the oil companies and Wall Street], wars in Latin America. What else happened? The Mariel Boat lift was filled with Convicts and Delinquents by orders of Castro and Carter to make the Cuban Community look bad.
Who could not forget how in 1967, Los Pacificos [The Peacemakers] were arrested for doing a rock concert in Cuba. They received justice with the John Lennon Peace Award but it was too late.
The worst that happened was that Castro with the support of his people [and the US Authorities] destroyed the soul of a nation probably for good. What Castro did was also destroy the soul of the American Continent. There is now ethnic, racial, and class hatred of an unseen scale and could place the American Continent [including Cuba, the USA, and Venezuela] in a scale as Europe during World War II.
Personally, I do not think I will visit Cuba either now or in the future. Castro, the Republicans, and Democrats destroyed such concepts. I hope that when Castro dies, he takes with him all of the demagogues such as Ortega [Nicaragua], Chavez [Venezuela], Morales [Bolivia], and the Republican/Democrat Elite in the USA. Because the Communists [Chavez, Ortega, Castro, Morales] and their Republicans/Democrats are the true terrorists of the world.
In closing, I will never forget how I tell the Republicans and Democrats that I want to see them accompanying the Communists on their way to the dustbin of history. Wayne Smith [one of the Ex Chiefs of the Cuban Interest Sections] heard my comments during an interview with the BBC [The BBC Had an Open Air Forum] and he stated: "Get this Independent Off The Air". It seems as though the old fashioned Cold War Vestige could not tolerate a little Independence.
