WASHINGTON, DC, July 12 — American commies are rattled by the upheaval in Havana of anti-Communist resistors. Even Bernie Sanders, who has extolled the Cuban communist dictator, Fidel Castro, can’t seem to respond to the news. It’s likely that Sanders will come up with a statement that will whitewash the Cuban government one way or another. If he can.
As of Sunday night, however, he was speechless.
In the meantime, the Cuban citizenry is shouting loud and clear that they are fed up with being lackeys for the Communist oligarchy.
According to Fox News, “Following his win during Nevada’s caucus in the 2020 Democratic primaries, Sanders was asked by Anderson Cooper during an interview on CBS’ “60 Minutes” why the Cuban people didn’t rise up and help the U.S. overthrow the Castro regime. Sanders replied that the dictator “educated their kids, gave their kids health care, totally transformed the society.”
Well, it seems that the Cuban people have finally found a voice, taking to the streets on Sunday chanting “down with the dictatorship.” And Bernie is at a loss for words, although it is very likely that he’ll come up with something to say to defend his Communist beliefs and the dictatorship in Cuba.
Marco Rubio was quick to post a message on Twitter with a video of the demonstrations captioned: “Frustration with the dictatorships incompetence, greed & repression is mounting rapidly.”
Not long ago, Sanders was reported as defending the Castro takeover of Cuba, saying that, “I remember, for some reason or another, being very excited when Fidel Castro made the revolution in Cuba. I was a kid … and it just seemed right and appropriate that poor people were rising up against rather ugly rich people.”
In her New York Times column, Maureen Dowd wrote, “Sanders passionately believes that the only way to undo the damage done by Donald Trump and Trumpism is by showing that government can deliver, that good policy can overcome dangerous conspiracy theories and lies.”
Nice try. Tell it to the Marines or, better yet, tell it to the citizens of the towns and cities across the island state of Cuba who took to the street decrying “human rights abuses, a lack of freedom, and a worsening economic situation in the communist-ruled country,” as the Epoch Times reported.
According to Cuban strongman Miguel Diaz Canel, the Cuban government blamed the uprising on a smear campaign orchestrated by the U.S.. But Florida Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar, the daughter of Cuban exiles, said that one of the first things that Cuban Diaz Canel did was shut down the Internet in Cuba to stifle a ripple effect.
And, according to the Epoch Times, Miami Mayor Francis Suare issued a statement that described the Cuban people as “worthy and ready to rule themselves without tyranny” It can end today, and it must end today. The implications of this moment can mean freedom for millions of people in the hemisphere, from Nicaraguans and Venezuelans and so many more.”
Suare said he hopes that the U.S. will intercede.
Meanwhile, Maximo Alvarez, a prominent Cuban ex-pat who is living in Florida, warns that America may be headed for the same fate that Cuba experienced under the dictatorship of Fidel Castro. After the presidential election, he predicted the U.S will be turning into Cuba under a Biden presidency.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, tweeted the prediction that the “Communist Cuban regime will be consigned to the dustbin of history. It has brutalized & denied freedom to generations of Cubans and forced my family & so many others to flee. The American people stand squarely with the men & women of Cuba and their noble fight for liberty.”
I think that as long as the socialists/communists are in power in the swamp the U.S. should stay out of “helping” the Cuan people. With O’Biden in charge the only U/S. help the Cubans will get is helping the government to repress them more.
Interesting! Home Land Security, Secretary is telling the Cubans “Not to come to USA”. I called that SELECTIVE ILLIGAL IMMIGRATION. He needs to go to the Southern Border and do the same across the border of Texas, Arizona and California; otherwise, my dear Secretary you are just an inept person incapable to accomplish any thing. At list the Cubans are fighting for real liberation. Let’s hope for the best. 60 years of Castro regime it is too much. It is time for the Cubans to be free.
When the news about Cuba first hit the airwaves, O’Biden claimed it was Trump’s fault. A very short tie later, the claim was the strife was caused by Covid. Then it became Trump’s fault again. But it quickly became evident, even to our clueless Democratic leadership, the Cuban populace was seriously upset by the lives they are forced to lead. Now what we hear form those miscreants in DC is that ‘Murica is with the Cubans and their desire for change 100%, while still trying to change OUR society to become more like THEIR society. And Venezuela. And China. And wherever the dictatorship is living large while their societies are merely existing.
Is it 2022 YET?! I’m ready………
Because of Fidel’s mudrr
Clear, concise and informative…
Phony Biden and Harris now r acting like they’re against socialism/communism because the vast majority aren’t for turning the US into a pile of dung!!! That is the only reason for their rhetoric!!!
I really feel so sorry for this Cuban dance…they will have their way if they keep it up…worried about them…so sad that they suffer so much…along with Venezuala…and other places that thought socialism would fix the mess…and so sorry for South and Central America too…so sad…
Cuba is a disaster. The repressive system was accepted by many in the early days on the promise that their lives would be made better. They traded freedom for what they were told would be security, healthcare and equality. Once the executions and the appropriation of private property was started by the Castro regime people began to wake up. This is what happens when you trade freedom for promises from politicians. Let this example highlight the importance of fighting to maintain individual liberty in our country. My and many other families suffered significantly at the hands of this criminal regime. We should do everything we can to help liberate the people from this repressive government.
Good things are happening. Between 1990 and 2018, the number of populists in power around the world has increased a remarkable five fold, from four to 20.
This includes countries not only in Latin America and in Eastern and Central Europe—where populism has traditionally been most prevalent—but also in Asia and in Western Europe. Even Tony Blair of Great Britain, a liberal, has said recently that, “Populism is dramatically shifting the global political landscape.” People across the globe are REJECTING the elite liberal secular globalism. It is going down. Look at what is happening in France, Italy, Germany, Britain, Hungary, Poland, etc, etc. Countries are waking up because they are losing their National Identities. Cuba is just the latest example. Countries across the globe are moving toward going back to traditional Nation States. . The liberal marixist left is ignoring it or TOTALLY MISSING IT.
I know the answer! Just read about Hungary in 1956.
America has had an immigration policy granting asylum for just such a circumstance as this. Biden and the dems have let 1 MILLION people into this country without the American PEOPLE wanting it so. These are criminals, EVERYONE! They have already broken our laws by entering illegally. Many are criminal gun runners, child traffickers, drug smugglers, rapists and murderers. What does the Biden “administration” say? They are “welcome, we’ll spend BILLIONS of TAX $$ on them, even if the taxpayers say ‘NO'” What about the ACTUAL refugees?? They are told they are “NOT welcome” and to “go back and stay away!” Politicians are supposed to work for the people…. it’s gotten reversed… THEY do whatever they want and the people work to pay the taxes for their lavish spending. All out war is pending and I’m having a difficult time trying to figure out how remaining passive can in any way be better for us.
Am rooting for the Cubans. Watch out Americans…..it’s looking hairy! We should all get together (line across America) and show the bastard commies where we stand We have to fight harder.
Socialists need to be extinguished, they are your enemy, enough said.
They want out of communist country and we have idiots that want to turn our country into a communist country. We need to wake.
Why would you think that Joe Biden and company would support the Cuban people when he is trying to be the same kind of dictator here in America???It looks like the American people need to rise up as well!
May God be with the Cuban people as they unite and strategize their future free nation. Every human being deserves every opportunity to enjoy their God-given privileges of freedom. May free people everywhere do all we can to support their journey to freedom.
Well we have our own King George but with the last name of Biden oh I’m sorry I meant Fidel Castro of the USSA and the sheep of this country put him in office it’s just that simple well not really the communist Democratic party stole the election and put him in office. That’s my store and I’m sticking to it!
I was a young Navy wife in Key West, FL IN 1958. On New Year’s Eve every sailor was called to report to their ships immediately. We had no idea why so the next morning a few of us gathered in my apartment because we had learned our ships were in Havana Harbor. I had a radio that could receive Havana. One of our group spoke Spanish. I picked up a station broadcasting from Havana and she translated for us. The woman was listing names of those in Cuba who wanted to let their families in the US know they were alright. Suddenly we heard a loud sound. It was the door to the studio being smashed in. The woman screamed and begged for her life but she was shot on air. I was 17 at the time. I am 80 now. I will never forget her murder and I will never forget the warnings from Cubans on the island who had escaped because they knew Castro was a communist and would destroy their country. Every time I heard our government support Castro I wanted to scream. I have hated Castro and communism since New Year’s Day 1959 and will until the day I die.
Let us not repeat what a nation experienced for they have showed what they didn’t have. Freedom!
What year did Cuba become Communist? Was it when Fidel came to power in 50’s and Cuba still has strong ties & support from Russia at the current time.
Cruz could just as well replace “Communist Cuban regime” with “Communist AMERICAN regime”. We are not fundamentally any different from the condition in Cuba as no one in government here adheres to the law anywhere.
I feel like my head is going to EXPLODE!
We learned (I hope) as well as the Democrats PROVED that the Democrats DO NOT any longer need to have a MAJORITY in ANY voting Issue. THEY only need a PLURALITY! Because they effectively DIVIDE any Opposition into small fractured groups that have no direction or unity. Republicans run around like a gaggle of geese, squawking, running in every direction spouting ideas that are emotionally nice but where do they go?
In 1776 the Colonists were in this very same predicament. With a Tyrant King George DICTATING rules! FINALLY the Colonists Became The UNITED Stated of America and We The People got really pissed off! WE answered that tyranny with Cannon shots and Muskets and bayonets and TOOK OUR America on a Journey!
Those were PATRIOTS! WITH UNITY!
And why are they rattled? Is it not exactly what the Democrats WANT We The People to become?
They are ding a monumental job of as Barack Obama promised “To Fundamentally transform” America and they ARE doing just that! ALL the while Republicans sit on their hands and TALK!
We are infiltrated by RINOS and anti American Never Trumpers!
I am only ONE old guy ready willing and able to FIGHT
AM I ALONE????
Sanders and Anderson Cooper forget that the Cubans did rebel and fought against Fidel Castro’s communist government. JFK promised Cuban freedom fighters air support for the “Bay of Pigs” Cuban rebellion but then reneged and did not provide support. Many cubans died as a result and Castro’s power was finalized. Wake up or America will follow the same path with the tyrants of China and Russia as our leader.
So glad the socialists are rattled…..keep it coming. Would love to see Cuba free of those communists. They are wonderful people and there is 99% literacy in Cuba. Aren’t we ashamed?
Talk about “rather ugly rich people”! Has millionaire Bernie Sanders looked in the mirror recently?
I hope that this is the beginning of real change in Cuba. And that the US can help without endangering them or us. Senator Rubio says that the US can override the internet blockage. I hope so. Communication is key
How about the everyone in Cuba who loves freedom can come here in exchange everyone her who wants Socialist government will be sent to Cuba.
Flack Bernie Sanders and the mule he rode in on! I shudder to think what a disaster this Nation would have faced had he ever managed to become POTUS. And Hidin’ Biden is only a hair difference because he he more crooked that Sander.
You know, of course, what is happening in Cuba is the future view of this country if things
continue to go the way they are going. Socialism/Communism have been repeated failures across the board….I am surprised the Cuban people have put up with this for this long….but maybe not, look at N. Korea and see the truth about the evils of such government practices.
All HIdin’ Joe Biden wants from Cuba is some payoff from one side or the other to support them. This matter is for Cubans to decide, which in itself if for them (Cuban citizens) to decide what they want from governance. In case they don’t know it, Socialism and its eventual morph child, Communism, enslaves the people, not enriches their freedom to live within a set of lawful limits with enforcement. Communism eventually results in murderous consequences for a large fraction of the citizenry and a boon for the upper “in-charge” so-clled governance staff. I think the majority of Cubans are starting to realize that they function as slaves to the “in-charge” leadership in a Communistic governance.
Joe Biden doesn’t do anything good for the American people, so what could he possibly do or say for the Cuban people? The Cuban people want freedom and choice. They want what American’s have and the left will destroy. OR have destroyed!
I want Bernie Sanders out of Congress. The people of Cuba are speaking their minds and saying that socialism is not working for them and that they are tired of dictators. Suddenly he’s tongue-tied when their people say they want something different. Does this jass-ass are going to accept socialism? Not on your life. Aside from the fact that he’s too old, and how Americans feel about term limits, it’s time for him to be gone to his rocking chair. The same can be said of Dementia-Puppet Joe Biden.
Last April was the sixtieth anniversary of the bay of pigs, imagine had that had been a success. President Kennedy did not provide the necessary air cover because he lost his backbone, and we know after sixty years of “paradise” under communism, the Cuban people have had enough.
The book, American Policy Failures in Cuba by Mario Lazo (1968) chronicles the events that led to Castro’s rise to power. It may be out of print, but try to find it. I know Bernie and his friends would not dare to read it.
The only consistent effect of communism is impoverished citizens and government corruption.
First thing Cuba did was shut down internet. That’s tactic Facebook, Twitter, MSM does selectively to those they disagree with. We share your pain people of Cuba. Hopefully US residents will wake up to selective silencing being carried out by Facebook, Twitter, MSM and vote anyone who supports this selective silencing out of office.
Face it folks, the current administration doesn’t care about ‘We the People’ and the same goes for many of our ‘supposed’ representatives in Congress. God Bless America and bring us through our troubles!
Well drop in on Cuba on the way to Hati. Damn, U S ,stay out of other peoples business.
We need to support those initiating the up rising. But our own *Xiden regime will support the communists. The DemonKrats always have ruled in favor of the Castro’s. So at the very least we need to wish them luck and send out rescue boats since we now have open borders. Personally I have far more sympathy for Cuban refugees than Central American Gangsters.
If in Cuba, then why not in Hong Kong? The voice of freedom demonstrators in Hong Kong is now quashed behind steel bars. Chinese citizens waited for a response and support from the West if even in the press, but it never came. Stand alones, and I fear the same will happen to those in the streets of Cuba. Voices are crying for freedom, and here in the U.S. we give our freedoms up.
Hope the current DC idiots DO NOT go there and make it worse!
“Suare said he hopes that the U.S. will intercede.”
Be careful what you wish for. The current U.S. might intercede on behalf of the wrong side.
I wish our nation would help bring freedom to places like Cuba instead of enacting tyranny and crimes against humanity and our constitution against American citizens.
I kept saying this, maybe people will FINALLY realize this and do something about this! Go USA. Bye thugs!!
November 3, 1958: Cuba’s last free election.
November 3, 2020: America’s last free election?
In both instances thugs strong armed their way to power on a lie.
Cuba was never communistic. Thugs took over when they strong armed their way to power on November 3, 1958. Why does November 3 sound familiar? In 1958 it was Cuba’s last free election. In 2020 it may well have been America’s last free election. Don’t put a lot of faith in hearing that Republicans will take the country back.
Truth, like cream, eventually rises to the top.
Has Joe Biden got out of bed yet (it is 3:34 EST)? I haven’t heard anything of substance from him about the Cuban situation. I seems to me he said he was ready to reopen relations with Cuba just a few days ago. Oh well, I probably haven’t been paying close enough attention.
Ron DeSantis states “Florida supports the people of Cuba as they take to the streets against the tyrannical regime in Havana. The Cuban dictatorship has repressed the people of Cuba for decades & is now trying to silence those who have the courage to speak out against its disastrous policies”
Florida Democrats responded to Governor Ron DeSantis sending support to anti-communist protesters in Cuba on Sunday by attacking the governor, seemingly comparing his administration to the Castro regime.
America’s Democrat party is the same oppressive party as Cuba’s Communist party
While we cheer for Cubans fighting for their freedoms, we are losing ours. When are we going to stand up and fight for what little freedom we have left?
