What's left of Cuba

The news from Latin America is always bad anymore as countries continue to try socialism and end up in poverty and starvation. Latin America is considered poorer than Africa now but liberal, leftist focus is on Africa and not Latin America.

From Cuba there is video of the decay and blight of Havana and other cities after 59 years of the Castro dictatorships. (LInked below) The Quibu River as it passes through Havana is full of dead animals, feces, and plastics and all sorts of trash and garbage. Communism/socialism is noted for lack of concern for the environment although environmentalists never complain about the dismal environmental record of those dictatorships. Both Nicaragua and Cuba are putting more and more people in prison for political reasons. One of the Ladies in White Martha Sanchez is facing a five-year term for attempting to attend mass dressed in white to protests family and friends in prison for political and racial reasons and the Castros hate blacks very much.

It is being reported that TSA is not checking out flights to Cuba so there may be a terrorist aboard one of the forlorn flights to the Cuban pit of communist repression where tourists are reguarly fleeced. The health system is so filthy and backward that you would be better off dying at home if you have a home in Cuba. The Candadians travel to Cuba for vacation about a million strong every year but one Canadian newspaper The Post Millenial is advising Canadians to boycott Cuba because of the repression there and the inconvenient fact that the money spent there goes to the military and the government to repress the people and enrich the communist leaders.

It is joked that the Castros, very primitive people, never liked architecture and cities and so the beauty of the once-wealthy Cuba had decayed for 59 years except where the communist party members live. This video is three minutes long and shows the horrible conditions that the Castros have left behind:

 

How do you explain the repression of places such as Cuba in the shadow of what was once the freest nation in the history of the world? Some Cubans are saying that because at one time they had the highest per capita income in Latin America, that made them a target for socialism/communism.

There is a bit of good news in the Ecuador dropped out of the association called Alianza Bolivariana para los Pueblos de Nuestra América or ALBA, which was started by Hugo Chavez, now dead from cancer as you know, and included Venezuela, Cuba, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Nicaragua. One of the problems was lack of a leader. The Russians, Chinese, North Koreans (very close to Cuba) and the Iranians all have a strong presence in Latin America and with ALBA. But Chavez died, and Fidel Castro was too old and sick and finally died, Rafael Correa of Ecuador lost an election and Ecuador has been trying to move away from the left, and Evo Morales in Bolivia used to grow dope and seems to be clownish, and then Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua seems guilty of child molesting. So the leftist leader in Latin America now seems to be AMLO, the new president of Mexico, but he is not a part of ALBA and seems to want good business ties with the USA, at least for now. Venezuelans have fled into Colombia and Brazil by the tens of thousands just to try to get a square meal once in a while yet Maduro sits on more oil than Saudi Arabia has.

The new president of CubaMiguel Diaz-Canel,, a longtime communist thug nicknamed Alley Oop in Spanish Trucutu, has proven even more brutal than Raul Castro if that is possible.

How did such a brutal repressive apartheid regime grow up only ninety miles from us?
