Defend The Cuban Revolution!!!
I was born in Boston, the Cradle of Liberty, shortly after the second
world war was over. I grew up believing that my country, the United
States of America was the bastion of liberty and freedom for all its
peoples and as such, was an shining example for all the developing
countries of the world.
It is no wonder then, at the age of seventeen I sincerely believed
that I had all of the answers to the world's problems all fiqured
out. Anyone who said anything against this great country of ours, was
either an communist; fellow traveler or a dupe!
In all of my most wildest dreams, I never would have believed that
America has been ruled by some of the most sinister group of men that
God ever created. Men whose thirst for money and power were so great
that the very lives of America's youth and the lives of people's in
foreign countries didn't matter one iota to them, as long as they
could make money exploiting the natural resources from these
countries.
My generation grew up being taught a lot of blatant lies and
half-truths regarding the Cuban Revolution in which Castro played a
big role. We were never told anything about the situation that the
Cuban people faced in a daily basis under General Batista, the Cuban
General who came to power via an coup dâ??etat against the
democratically elected government of Cuba.
Nor were we told how the American Mafia with their leader Lucky
Luciano, had Batista in their back pocket! Any vice that you desired
was available in Cuba under the Batista junta. Everything from
prostitution, drugs, gambling, you name it, was available for the
Yankee Dollar!
One famous hotel in Havana had a long winding staircase in the lobby
area. On this stairway, from the bottom, all the way to the top would
be the most beautiful Cuban girls, each evenly spaced from
one-another. They were of every hue, from very light-skinned to very
dark, and all shades in between.
Of course the tourists from America who partook of their beauty never
stopped to think for one moment that these girls were once some young
mothers pride and joy. Or that they might have brothers who if they
only knew how their sisters made their money to survive, might have
gone ballistic some evening.
The knowledge of how the Mafia ran everything in Cuba, was one of the
driving forces that led Fidel Castro and his fellow revolutionaries
in their quest to free their homeland.
Life for a prostitute during the Batista years wasn't a bowl of
cherries either. Many of these young women were kept in small rooms
which had barred windows in which if they were lucky, they might be
able to watch the world go by, but unable to join in the parade.
After the success of the Cuban Revolution, the American Mafia soon
found themselves unwelcome in Cuba.
Today, the sons of these same American Mafia maggots are poised in
Miami, just waiting for the green light from the Bush administartion,
which will enable them to re-establish a beachhead in Cuba once
again, just as their fathers once had during the Batista years.

are a comrade of mine!"
