La era pos-Castro

fidel-castro-cartel

Fidel se reía mucho de los planes de sus enemigos “para la era pos-Castro”. Un día dijo que mientras ellos hablaban de ese momento, él trabajaba para ese momento. Y vaya si les ganó de nuevo. Apenas una semana antes de cumplir los 96 años de nacido, y cuando ya lleva más de un lustro ausente, su nombre volvió a levantarse como el monumento que expresamente prohibió que se le hiciera. Cubanos de todas las edades que salieron a batirse con una catástrofe accidental sin pensar en los riesgos.

Now I allow myself to publish this photo. Lady (Irene Pérez) is also pretty. Lady brings them. I have seen her in these hard and sad days almost sink into her foam, looking for the exact angle. I have seen her “test strength” to get on a water pipe and approach the area of ​​the fire at the Matanzas super tanker base. I have seen Lady get excited with her faces, looking with the heart that she has.

Speech by Commander-In-Chief Fidel Castro on his arrival in Havana on 8 January 1959

Fidel-Castro-discurso-en-La-Habana-8-de-enero-de-1959

The people are listening, the revolutionary fighters are listening, and the regular troops – whose fate is in our hands – are listening also.

Morning After To-Do List

Michael Moore

Fire all pundits, predictors, pollsters and anyone else in the media who had a narrative they wouldn’t let go of and refused to listen to or acknowledge what was really going on. Those same bloviators will now tell us we must “heal the divide” and “come together.” They will pull more hooey like that out of their ass in the days to come. Turn them off.
