If you really want to know the REAL Story in Cuba go visit therealcuba.com you can see why we should do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SUPPORT THE REGIME THERE. The Castro Brothers have dessimated the people of Cuba far worse than the Mafia. People in Cuba go to jail for wearing the wrong clothes, neighbors turn in neighbors in order to get Refrigerators and Apartments, Artists are persecuted BY THE STATE, the hospitals for the people of CUBA are infested with vermin and disease and we continue to allow this to take place less than 100 Miles from our shores.

Since the US embargo started, Cuba has had commercial ties and lines of credit with some countries in Europe, Canada, Spain, Mexico, and even China.
In spite of these, the economic framework is a complete and dismal failure because it is centralized and it ignores the most basic of human needs, which is self realization without encroachment from the state.
Countries such as Spain, Mexico and Canada have made substantial investments in the island to promote tourism through the construction and management of tourist complexes such as those in cayo Coco, which look no different than those in Cozumel and Acapulco.
The only winners have been the investors and the cuban government, which take in a large percentage of the profits. These places do not allow the general population in and working there is restricted.
The point I am trying to make is that the cuban people will not benefit from large scale investments from abroad. Change will come only when the government realizes it has to change the political system.

As we all know, there are "conspiracy theories" about who killed JFK. How could such a thing happen? It turned out the secret service didn't perform as usual. The top was left down on the car even after ads were in Dallas papers, almost death threats. I make this comment to see if someone, unknowingly, might have a photo of "a man on or near the curb to the right and ahead of JFK, with "a gun built into his hand." A man told me that when I manned a Democrat registration booth. He said the man's sleeve could hide the gun. If he pointed his hand, as if waving, he could fire the gun & not be discovered. The fatal shot hit the right side of his head near the front.. If anyone can add to my comment, I'll be watching. That "man with the gun" would probably be dead now, so it's really an academic question. Oswald was killed so fast after JFK died, he had no chance to tell what he knew. A coup happened, and LBJ was fooled by faked cables to start the Nam War. It made us support corrupt Catholic Pres. Diem, protege of Cardinal Spellman. Diem profited from heroin. See "The Politics of Heroin in SE Asia," McCoy, and The Pentagon Papers.

When Batista was dictator of Cuba, the Mafia owned the casinos, brothels, hotels and other tourist attractions. In Latin America, United Fruit (begun by Jesuits) sweated labor in Banana Republics. Mafiosi were often Catholic, forgiven by their confessors, and tithing dirty money to the pope. Other faiths had members belonging to organized crime. Castro and his brother led the Revolution but it won because exploited Cubans were for them, 100%. After Allen Dulles & his CIA fooled JFK to attack Cuba in the illegal Bay of Pigs invasion, JFK fired Duiles. After JfK was killed (by organized crime and the chuch, I say) Allen Dulles was a member of the Warren Commission. Imagine such a thing!! That Commission said Oswald killed JFK but he was the Fall Guy. Ruby, who had ties to the CIA as did Oswald, killed Oswald do he could not talk. Ruby begged to be taken from jail..he said he wasn't safe there because he knew too much. He died "of cancer," that could have been induced by exposure to radiation in jail hospital. After the US wrongly put the embargo on Cuba, we've paid too much for sugar & products we used to buy there. We need a big change. People have the right not to be religiocapitalists.
