Bernie And The Sanitizing Of The Horrors Committed In The Name Of Fidel Castro’s Revolution

Bernie’s perspective on Cuba is emblematic of his worldview and his affinity for America’s enemies, especially when they happen to be communist or radical Islamists.

The comrade who combs his hair with a balloon vociferously insists it is “unfair” to say everything was bad in Castro’s Cuba.  How can anyone be that intellectually bankrupt?  Its tantamount to claiming Stalin’s Russia produced great Bolshoi ballet dancers despite murdering 20 million of his own countrymen.  Or that Nazi Germany, despite its concentration camps, built great highways or Mussolini who bombed the Red Cross, dropped poison gas and committed war crimes in Africa and the Balkans but made the trains run on time.

A Trump vs. Bernie election will mark a truly revolutionary choice, the likes of which America has never seen. It will be the first genuinely free choice Americans have had in a presidential election.

It's going to be wild on a debate stage when Trump is praising JFK and Bernie has to defend praising Castro instead.

If you think back to historic presidential debates, what immediately comes to mind is Reagan vs. Carter or more recently Trump vs. Clinton; maybe even last week’s Democratic debate turned bloodbath in Vegas.

Oddly, Comrade Bernie’s rivals on the debate stage never really hit the presumptive front-runner where he is most vulnerable: his unholy warmth for the genocidal Soviet Union and his praise of communist dictatorships such as those in Nicaragua and Cuba.

Famous for giving long-winded speeches in green military fatigues, Fidel Castro turned Cuba into a communist state on the doorstep of America. He survived a CIA-backed invasion by Cuban exiles at the Bay of Pigs in 1961, as well as numerous assassination attempts, continuing U.S. trade embargoes and an economic crisis in the 1990s following the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Castro played a central role in taking the world to the brink of nuclear war [Cuban missile crisis] in 1962 when he let the Soviet Union put ballistic missiles in Cuba leading to a 13-day standoff between President John F. Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev.

When Castro stepped down on February 20, 2008 due to failing health, CNN sent an email company-wide giving marching orders to its reporters on the “proper” way to report his resignation.

“Please say in our reporting that Castro stepped down in a letter he wrote to Granma (the Communist Party Daily), as opposed to in a letter attributed to Fidel Castro. We have no reason to doubt he wrote his resignation letter, he has penned numerous articles over the past year and a half.”

“Please note Fidel did bring social reforms to Cuba—namely free education and universal health care, and racial integration in addition to being criticized for oppressing human rights and freedom of speech.”

The sender of that email was Allison Flexner who was a producer for CNN’s Superdesk at the time.  A transcript from the on-air reporting of a hijacking of a Cuban plane on its way to the U.S. reveals Flexner was working in Cuba as far back as 2000.

So, yeah, when Bernie sings the praises of Castro and Cuba, he got that shit straight from CNN.

¡Que jodidas sorpresa!

If you are a seasoned citizen you remember the murderous Castro regime.  Because they don’t teach our children history anymore and if you are not a seasoned citizen, I urge you to visit the Free Society Project, also known as Cuba Archive/Archivo Cuba, to learn more about the horrors committed in the name of Fidel’s revolution.
