Japan beating Cuba was a treat. However, I do wonder whether the Cuban players were themselves later beaten, physically, for having lost.

The infamous Cuban embargo is well misunderstood in many quarters.

This article shows that, already, the US is the 4th trading partner with Cuba, despite the “embargo”.

Even when the embargo was raging, according to Cuba officials, the economical restrictions were more due to the lack of capital and credit from the Cuban government because Canada, Mexico, Japan, Spain, and other Europeans countries not only traded with communist Cuba, they even helped them.

What people fail to understand could be answered by reading that classic 1951 book on the nature of mass movements, specifically on the nature of evil ones, like Castrism, “The True Believer”, a work highly recommended by the late president Eisenhower, by Eric Hoffer, who received the Medal of Freedom from Reagan in 1983, three months before his death.

Mass movements like Nazism, Communism, or Castrism (a blend of the other two), must provide a point of hate, a clear and present enemy, almost always imaginary (like the omnipresent Jew for Nazi Germany and the Yankee Imperialism for Castro), otherwise they PERISH. This, the Castro brothers, especially evil genius Fidel, knows well. So, thesis: The current Cuban government has the highest stakes in continuing the “embargo”. If US wants to topple them, cease the “embargo”.

Chavez learned from his mentor and Guru Castro. He changed the enemy’s name slightly from the “Yankee Imperialism”, a term a little outdated, to the “Evil Empire”. Chavez even incorporated that “eternal enemy”, the Jew, to his hate campaign, and now synagogues are attacked in Caracas. Amadinwhatever and the Ayatollahs Kome-mierdas, from Iran, use the term “The Great Satan”. The late Soviet Union used the “Capitalist Exploiter”. Don’t you see the common denominator here?

“What makes me want to champion the rights of people I don’t know in a land I’ve never known? Maybe it’s selfishness. I want to visit Cuba but I want to do so on terms that are morally acceptable to me: when it’s free from the dictatorship my parents had to flee.”

Did your parents flee Cuba because they were as corrupt as Batista and his Mafia-style dictatorship? Fidel had the right to clean up the mess according to the Cuban ideals at the time.

Championing the alleged rights of people you don’t know is as idiotic as your behavior at the baseball game. Don’t postpone your trip, go see for yourself and talk to your alien population.

“Did your parents flee Cuba because they were as corrupt as Batista and his Mafia-style dictatorship? Fidel had the right to clean up the mess according to the Cuban ideals at the time.”

You make a very good point here. Although the corruption of Batista’s regime and the Mafia-style dictatorship were soon made to pale compared to what Fidel brought, you are correct in saying that the Cuban people were expecting him to clean up Batista’s mess. Lots of hope were on Fidel at first. However, many who knew him from his university gangster violent way, knew the potential for trouble. Unfortunately, they were proven right.

“Did your parents flee Cuba because they were as corrupt as Batista and his Mafia-style dictatorship? Fidel had the right to clean up the mess according to the Cuban ideals at the time.”

No Vivo, his parents probably had to flee because in 1959 and 1960, innocent men, women and children were being lined up and shot left and right as if Cuba were a carnival shooting gallery.

Yeah, I guess all the people who have been taking to rafts for the past five decades are all “corrupt” Batistianos. Your view is sophomoric, obtuse, lacking of any factual basis, bigoted, arrogant and completely devoid of any sentiment bordering on the upholding of basic human rights.

You have NO IDEA what you’re talking about. I mean none, zip, zilch, nada.

Let’s see, are you a fidelista chivato on here to stir up trouble or just a run-of-the-mill jerk who believes that those “natives” down south need to kept down, lest they disturb the overseers at the plantation house?

Jerk.

Excellent Henry! You and I know that many of those young Cuban ballplayers were smiling inside while hearing your comments. Several more players have escaped that island inferno just in the last week! As long as Cuba is oppressed, you can’t ever remain silent.

GGGreat Post tocayo. Those people cheering on the Cuban team, especialy the one with the Cuban Flag with the face of the pig guevara pasted on it are were not Cubans. Most of them are extreme left wing liberals true to sny Communist cause.

#3VIVO,#5HENRYGOMEZ#6AASTASIO:Nice Post vivo,I see that moral corruption is alive and well in the ranks of intellectually depraved,stalinist defenders of Castro. According to you the Cuban people have only “alleged” human rights?But then Castro’s “Cuban ideals’gave him the right to torture and murder thousands,destroy the Cuban economy,and make Cubans the Soviet Union’s cannon fodder. According to you Cubans have only” alleged rights” Why alleged Vivo? I also didn’t realize that I had no right to champion the rights of oppressed people because, I don’t personally know them. Thank you ViVo;I no longer have to worry about Darfur,the Gitmo Muslims,Gay rights, Tibet etc.The corruption of the Batista regime pales in comparison with what the democrat Wall street Mafia did in conjunction with their thuggish enablers like Barney Frank,and Chris Dodd.Batista never dreamed of enriching himself by destroying Cuba’s banking system. Las Vegas, makes Batista’s Havana look like Disneyworld;should we therefore,put ourselves in the hands of a Stalinist thug to clean it up??As a matter of fact,Mafia describes pretty well the essence of Castro’s regime of terror and scarcity for the many and terror and privilege for the Communist few. .Accusing Gomez’ parents of being Mafiosi,is simply contemptible even for a libtard Stalinist!You are lower than whale excrement at the bottom of the marianas trench.VIVA CUBA LIBRE!

I went to see the US play Cuba at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. The usual suspects of Spanish communism were all there. My left arm is paralyzed from an automobile accident and I wear it in a brace. This was picked up by the fellow-travellers and made fun of, thinking I didn’t understand them. I certainly did and fluently questioned the virtue of their mothers. They were astonished. Cuba beat the US 6-4, I’m sure they never understood what was going on.

Mar 30, 2009 - 11:00 am 11. mhr:

When I was a young college teacher, I met several Cuban exiles and was the colleague of one, a marvelous woman who was an exile along with her husband. They had lost everything they owned in Cuba as a result of Castro’s “redistribution of wealth,” otherwise known as expropriation of all private property by the Cuban state. I was young and quite stupid – I was a liberal Democrat who believed that Communist dictators were good men because they ruled for the benefit of “the poor.” I am embarassed to say that I actually lectured this woman telling her what a great man I believed Castro to be. She was very patient and simply listened and smiled. In time I began to question my beliefs and to educate myself to reality. I am no longer a liberal. Liberals live in a world of illusion and simply refuse to see the world as it is, one in which totalitarians talk like social workers while they act like killers and wardens. Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, et. al.- they are political brothers-under-the skin.

“Vivo” is the appropriate name for a Fidelista troll, as in Argentina and other countries a “vivo” is a con-man.

Mar 30, 2009 - 11:51 am 13. MiamaMan:

Batista has often been given the role of the boogie man.

In defense of Fulgencio Batista:

1) His first constitutional and legal presidency was good (1940-1944), he wrote the most advanced constitutional laws in every Latin American country at the time (He even had that Mexican-German spy shot who was giving the itineraries of the ships from Havana to the German U-boats).
2) He built the huge monument to Jose Marti that later Fidel took as his and perverted as La Plaza de la Revolucion.
3) Fulgencio was corrupt, he sold out to the Mafia (Santos Trafficante and others), but under Batista, and all the way to 1959, Cuba was ahead in Latin America in the majority of indicators of developments and wealth, such as TV, phones and doctors per person, income per capita, cars, and others. One thing lacking to Costa Rica and Argentina, for example, was alphabetization.

Fulgencio squeezed but did not suffocate. You could get your passport and travel anywhere during his “dictatorship”.

Fidel, and Che too, on the contrary, shot more people in the first 6 months of the revolution that those shot or executed officially by Cuban governments from 1902 to 1959 (Carlos Alberto Montaner, Diario Secreto de la Revolucion Cubana, 1964).

Fulgencio, like Cubans say, was like a suckling newborn compared to that Satan named Fidel Castro Ruz.

It’s absolutely disgraceful that a couple of cops decided to trample your First Amendment rights. Butt at least you got a couple good punches in. Yelling at Soto del Valle about Dashiell’s porno movies is a classic. I guarantee you anybody on team Cuba who heard you was laughing on the inside.

To “vivo”: What’s idiotic is to prop up the Batista 50-year old straw man. Why don’t YOU go on a permanent trip to Cuban and live like the Cubans live?

Mar 30, 2009 - 2:14 pm 15. Fantomas:

To my right was a group of about 30 Cubans with musical instruments who were singing and making a racket. That would have been great, except two of them had flags similar to the one that Maria Isabel, a Houston-area Obama precinct captain, hung in her volunteer campaign office. It’s a Cuban flag with the Argentine murderer Che Guevara’s face superimposed on it. I immediately wanted Japan to win.

Henry it was not necessary to see a Cuban flag with Che on it to root for Japan

Hot Damn, Henry!..that’s all I can muster: Hot Damn!! Thanks for sharing that with us!! And that “Dashiell” bit–absolutely PRICELESS!!!!!!! That STUNG the bastard fifty times harder than any number of mawkish proclamations.

(BTW, During Batista’s diabolical tenure, when Cuban baseball players traveled,they did not require five security agents holding a gun to their head 24 hrs a day to prevent them from defecting. Indeed, ask Tommy Lasorda about the number of U.S. baseball players who clamored to ENLIST with Cuban teams, during that fiendish era.)

I remember many times at university in both the US & the UK being lectured about Cuba & his history by “well meaning” socialists who didn’t have a clue about what they were talking about. Generally mentioning mariel boat-lift or the plight of those booted in the 50s shut them up.

I shall only even visit Cuba when its free from communist domination.

Castro is a bankrupt thief and has a huge foreign debt already that will never be paid. The embargo has kept idiots in the US from losing billions of dollars to a senile leech through extending credit. Let him milk Chavez and Putin if they are that stupid. He’s at least figured out one way of getting recycled US money via Venezuelan handouts in addition to the portion of Miami remittances that he steals already. He’s the rotten apple that spoils the whole bunch and hopefully will be gone soon.

Alex,

I honestly don’t feel my rights were violated. I recognize that when I entered the ballpark that I leave certain rights at the door. Most tickets have legal disclaimers on the back that say that basically you can be asked to leave for any reason. I think if I had persisted in yelling once I was outside that I may have risked a capricious arrest. I probably would have been released without charges but I couldn’t risk missing my meeting the next day. If I was there on my own dime I would have said my peace and faced the consequences. It’s sad that I ended up censoring myself. But I did get that dig in about Dashiel. Haha.

CUBA under the Dictator Batista:

- Americans owned 70 % of the arable land

- 1% of the population controlled 46 % of the wealth

- Batista’s goons and secret police killed 20,000 Cubans (tortured even more)

- 67 % of the population were illiterate

- 50 % of the population lived in Bohio shacks

- Che’s last words: “Shoot coward, you’re only going to kill a man”
- The Rolex was given to Che by his father, not taken off a dead war criminal at La Cabana.
- The balseros go one direction, but the flights into Havana stream into Cuba at an even greater rate (2 million a year – including about 60,000 American tourists a year).

- Che only shot war criminals/rapists/chivatos/ and deserters.

It seems to me that if US antagonism was based on the fact that Cuba was a totalitarian dictatorship with no regard for human rights that jails and/or kills anyone who disagrees with the ruling elite, the US would never have had anything to do with other Latin American nations that did the same. Yet the US not only endorsed the same activities when nations such as Chile and Guatemala did them, they provided the dictators of those nations with the weapons to kill those that spoke out against those regimes.

Then again America might only object when it is a Communist totalitarian dictatorship that has no regard for human rights and jails and/or kills anyone who disagrees with the ruling elite.

No, that can’t be it. If it was there would be an embargo against China.

To compare Chile and Guatemala with Cuba,reveals a phenomenal degree of political ignorance.Chile is now a full fledged democracy;Guatemala is getting there. Cuba remains a Stainist ces run by the likes if Vivo and carlos the watercloset.

you know,this started out as the rambling confesion of a social misfit,and it has come to the confesion of penis envy by DEGUEVO. We guys must bring up the size of our engines,dont we? Our chubby friend wrote a ridiculous story of how he beat the cuban team on and off the field. He talked about 2 cuban baseball players in the majors that got there thanks to the free education on “how to play beisbol” by the Cuban Revolution. Lets keep it to his incredible cuban american country gibbirish. But as you see,and i mentioned before…Where is he? Where is carmen miranda? Find henry in the pizza..find him home searching and searching for anything about cuba that he can put his vile spin to it.

#24VIVA EL BIDEL!ET AL: One of the principal ways in which Stalinists justify The virulent amalgam of terroristic brutality,cretinous economics,and Utopian fantasy that is Communism ,is to claim that,given the horrible living conditions prevailing in a country, Communism was the only historically and morally possible outcome.To this end,they cite a partial list of facts purporting to show(without attribution) that Cuba was a colonial hellhole of poverty and backwardness.This is just more Castroite agitprop;what follows is a quote from the book,CUBA A NEW HISTORY,by Richard Gott,(2004,Yale University Press,p.165)who is a leftwing british journalist SYMPATHETIC to Castro’s revolution: Yet Cuba was not a poor country in 1959,with downtroden people rebelling against their state of backwardness. It was relatively well off,enjoying the second highest per capita income in latin america in the 1950’s,second only to Venezuela,whose income was skewed by its oil revenues.On a range of other socio-economic indicators-urbanisation,literacy,infant mortality,and life expectancy at birth,Cuba was among the top five countries in Latin America…Pre revolutionary Cuba was not backward in the provision of medical services.The island had some of the most positive health indices in the Americas, NOT FAR BEHIND THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA(my caps). Both in life expectancy at birth,and in doctors per thousand,Cuba was among the leaders. So much for the Stalinist cant about misery justifying the on-going Marxist-Leninism terror in Cuba.

#64 deguello. True Chile is a democracy and it only took about 20 years after the US backed coup there.

Guatemala’s democratically elected government was overthrown in 1954 by a US backed coup.

After 55 years you’d hope they could “get there” a bit faster.

Apr 1, 2009 - 8:18 pm 68. Carlos W:

It’s common knowledge that Ronald Reagan’s right-wing contra death squads led to the deaths of 100,000 in Guatemala, 70,000 in El Salvador, and 30,000 in Nicaragua.

I wonder if the American conservatives who glorify the bad actor / geriatric war criminal – would like to see the same thing happen throughout all of Latin America?

Oops I forgot, of course they would.

Che Guevara was ‘created’ through the United Fruit Co & CIA 1953 overthrow of the democratically elected Arbenz in Guatemala (while Che was living there). Any actions of Uncle Sam’s induced ‘Frankenstein’s’, ultimately lead back to U.S. foreign policy – and the brutal tyrants it supports, arms, and chooses to head it’s allied financial oligarchies.

Northern Light,

Foreign policy is very Machiavellian. If he kills for U.S. interests (Pinochet, Marcos, Somoza, The Shah, Trujillo, Batista, Suharto, Mobutu, Saddam (1980-88), Mubarak, Osama Bin Laden during the Soviet Invasion, King Abdullah etc) then he is an important allie who Uncle Sam backs with your tax dollars.

#68CARLOS WC:CHE was created by his radical parents who like Hitler’s probably carried a recessive psychotic gene waiting to be activated by historical events.Hitler’s was by Versailles, Che’s by Guatemala’s counterrevolution.The world needs to identify these latent psychos and lock them up before they get a chance to go political and murder millions. The US killed thousands of Latin American Communists before they got a chance to murder tens of millions of people, as they have done in Europe and Asia ,how horrible!Why It’s as bad as the thousands of nazis we killed during World War 2:quick! get my smelling salts! call the UN, I’m shocked! Shocked! Get your head out of the WC Carlos, and grow up!

DEATH COUNT:

CHE GUEVARA = few hundred of Batista’s henchmen, torturers, and rapists.

REAGAN = 1 million Iraqi/Iranians by selling weapons to both sides
CONTRA death squads that lead to the deaths of 70,000 in El Salvador, more than 100,000 in Guatemala, and 30,000 in Nicaragua.

CHE < REAGAN “the real Butcher”

Apr 2, 2009 - 8:34 am 73. Babalu Sucks:

“Che cleaned out the war criminals and goons … and yes gave them justice against the wall. I would have loved to be there sipping a mojito and smoking a MonteCristo while these former torturers were tied to the stake.

Hell, I wish he had killed more – that way Miami wouldn’t be a 3rd world hell hole today ran by the ex Havana mob & their Cocaine cartel.”

—-> A NEW DEFINITION FOR “CHUTZPAH”

When someone who supports the same country that nuked 2 cities and turned 250,000 people to dust … the same country that fire bombed Dresden and burned 150,000 women and child alive, the same country that killed 15 million Natives because they felt it was their ‘manifest destiny’ … the same country that enslaved millions of blacks … the same country whose CIA has killed 6 million people since 1950 (John Stockwell) … the same country that invaded Iraq which has caused 950,000 + deaths …

Not to mention propped up the many brutal tyrants like Pinochet, Suharto, Marcos, and Somoza … backed contra movements through the School of the Americas …

—> HAS THE CHUTZPAH to pretend to be upset that Cuba under CHE had tribunals (just like the Nuremburg one after WWII the US had) and then as a result had a few hundred of the brutal dictator Batista’s convicted henchmen, rapists, & torturers (most who were the secret police of the BRAC and who had killed 20,000 people) executed at La Cabana.

For 50 years the cubans in miami and elsewhere in the US have been repeatedly outperforming other ethnic groups educationally,and economically. Miami is now a world class city thanks to them,instead of having become another detroit. Makes you think what these same Cubans might have achieved in their homeland had not a bearded psychopath,and iss Bozo economic monister and teror chief, not persecuted and driven them out.%) yeras after the revolution. Castro’s thugs keep repeating the asame discredited mistakes that has impoverished Cuba,and made Soviet Russia,such a strong economic power.Give me Cuban exile repetition over communist repetition anyday.

It is amusing that it is very likely that the CIA backed Castro and he turned on the US. Now we have Casto and Chavez supporting President Obama. How about Castro’s personal 900 Million in overseas accounts. Maybee it’s ALL New World Order to make us ALL in the US a 3rd world nation. I bet there’s enough poverty to go around for ALL of us!
