GUILLEN LOVES HOW CASTRO TORTURES THE CUBAN PEOPLE?
What is what Miami Marlins manager, Oswaldo José “Ozzie” Guillén, loves and respect so much of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro? Does Guillén love how the Castro regime has tortured, terrorized, jailed, and killed the Cuban people to stay in power for more than 50 years?
Now that he is the new manager of the Miami baseball team, Guillén decided to insult all those victims of the Marxist dictatorships in Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, etc. who now live in Miami.
“I love Fidel Castro,” Blurts Ozzie Guillen, the new manager of the Miami Marlins, in his Jupiter, Fla., spring-training office before an early-March team workout.
Guillen told Time magazine that he loves Castro and respects him for staying in power so long…“The reason I say I admire him is because a lot of people want to get rid of this guy and they couldn’t yet,” Guillen told the Sun-Sentinel. [...]
Guillen said he has never spoken to Chavez, but in fact he appeared on the Venezuelan leader’s national radio show twice in October 2005, when Guillen led the Chicago White Sox to the World Series title. At the time, Guillen said: “Not too many people like the president. I do. My mom will kill me, but it’s an honor to talk to the president.”
After Ozzie Guillen was quoted by a Time magazine reporter saying that he “respects” and “loves” Fidel Castro, Guillen and the Miami Marlins are now walking back the comments and attempting to put them in a context that would not seem so inflammatory to Miami’s residents. However, as the city that hosts the largest concentration of Fidel Castro’s victims, Guillen’s remarks, no matter how they try to qualify them, were certainly inflammatory and insensitive. [...]
Hopefully, Mr. Guillen has finally learned the lesson that while …things are lawful, not all things are helpful or edifying.
Ozzie Guillen in 2005: Viva Chavez!
This video shows Guillen praising Marxist dictator Hugo Chavez. Guillen probably admires how Chavez has destroyed Venezuela, the once-prosperous South American country.
WHERE IS CASTRO’S OPEN SOCIETY?
A Red Cross worker (or one of Castro’s repressive secret agent wearing a Red Cross T-shirt) violently slapped a man who was being dragged away by state security police for yelling “Down with Communism!” and “Freedom!” prior to Monday’s Mass by Pope Benedict XVI at the Revolution Square Antonio Maceo in Santiago, Cuba. The Red Cross worker also hit the protester over the head with a stretcher. Yes, a medical stretcher is also a weapon for the Castro brown-shirts.
An unconcerned father Federico Lombardi, the Vatican’s spokesman, said that the incident lasted “only a few minutes and ended quickly.” He appeared more concerned with how long it took for the communist thugs to quell the cry for freedom than with the well-being of the protester. The Castro dictatorship is famous for torturing, jailing, and/or ‘disappearing’ innocent civilians with total impunity. However, reporters around the world still want us to believe the Castro regime is leaving its evil ways behind.
HOT MIC BETRAYS OBAMA
Today in South Korea, Obama was caught on microphone telling outgoing Russian “President” Dmitry Medvedev that he would have more flexibility after November’s election.
Obama to Medvedev: “This is my last election. After my election, I’ll have more flexibility.”
Medvedev replied: “I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir.” (Obviously referring to incoming “President” Vladmir Putin.)
Watch how Obama comforts Medvedev by warmly stroking his forearm.
In the Age of Obama, we hear more about government seeking informants and snitches (i.e., Obama’s snitch website or Obama’s White House seeking email informants). This is nothing new. Big-government ideologues have historically created snitch brigades to control their citizens. Meet the CDRs.
Castro’s neighborhood snitch groups: The Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDRs) Humberto Fontova explained what they are:
Snitching is essential to totalitarian regimes. Both Stalin’s and Castro’s Gulags were filled primarily by acting on tips from snitches. Such snitching has a snowball effect. The very fact that you’re snitching gives some people a (usually false) sense of protection from regime police because they’re assisting them. Then as more and more people get rounded up, more and more people feel threatened, so more and more of them snitch — more fear, more arrests; neighbor snitches against neighbor, cousin against cousin, even sons and daughters against parents. [...]
In the mid-1990′s, the Catholic Human Rights group Pax Christi, headquartered in Belgium, visited Cuba and secretly conducted a study on the status of the CDR’s…
“Fear is the basic instrument of (Cuban) political control,” concludes the study. “There is one CDR for every 140 Cubans. The information at the State Security’s disposal can be used to threaten and intimidate anybody. There is no place to escape the tentacles of the State. Most ordinary Cubans reported that they remained intensely wary of CDR surveillance, even while conversing in their own homes.” These CDRs keep a file on every person in their beat (usually 2 city blocks in the cities) where they list all of the comings and goings, personal contacts, etc., in the hopes of detecting any revolutionary backsliding, which can be anything from a particularly snarky comment on a regime honcho or policy to playing hooky from the latest anti-imperialist rally in the Plaza de la Revolucion. The CDRs also supervise the issuing of the monthly food ration cards to all Castro’s subjects. “Food is a weapon” famously declared Stalin’s foreign minister, Maxim Litvinov.
With a little imagination almost everyone can visualize the Communist snitch-and-survive or snitch-and-reward process. At work, we’ve all seen that insufferable brownnoser who hopes to mitigate or camouflage his incompetence or laziness by sucking up to the boss. We’ve all seen that gossipy little backstabber, that busybody shrew get promoted over their betters. Somehow after every flush of “downsizing” many of these Eddie Haskells and Mrs Kravitzes keep bobbing back to the surface.
To some extent this is human/corporate nature. All organizations favor “team players.” In the private sector these kinks are eventually straightened and the brownnosing incompetents axed. Either that, or the company goes under. There are stockholders and customers to keep happy. But under Communism this swinishness is the very essence of the system. There is only a Maximum Leader to keep happy.
ROBAINA’S GREEN CAMPAIGN TO SAVE THE PLANET…one toilet at a time
On his 2010 budget report, Mayor Julio Robaina tells us he wants Hialeah to be at the forefront of America’s greenest cities…despite the severe recession and despite the high national debt which is above $14 Trillion (or $14,000,000,000,000). No rational person wants to destroy their own habitat, but it is wrong when politicians use government muscle to impose on Americans their apocalyptic beliefs in the theory of “man-made global warming” which relies on questionable science. Environmental alarmists have been wrong for decades.
Have you heard about Green Day Hialeah, or Hialeah’s youth “Green Kids” club, or Hialeah’s program of free showerheads and toilet units? Read on.
On the City of Hialeah’s Budget report for fiscal year 2010, Mayor Julio Robaina tells us how he is fighting the so-called global warming. He says his #2 priority has been “Developing an Environmentally Friendly City.” Here is Robaina’s message:
Beginning last fiscal year, the City of Hialeah has adopted various environmental initiatives aimed at taking responsibility and turning the tide towards environmental awareness and conservation. Each department, with my direction and the support of my administration along with that of the City Council, has begun outlining projects that are restructuring the way city departments operate in order to save energy, money and lessen their impact on the environment. In its first year since its introduction, the Green initiatives Hialeah has implemented can be seen throughout each department city-wide. These eco-conscious habits can then trickle over to residents and private business owners within the community that will not only help our environment but will save tax payers money and develop an environmentally friendly city.
The Fleet Department last year pushed forward several initiatives that conserved the resources used and purchased new technologies to lead Hialeah’s future toward greener pastures…As new technologies emerged and changed, so did the department by taking a leap forward and purchasing the first two hybrid vehicles in Hialeah’s history. The City of Hialeah is currently looking toward compressed natural gas technologies for its Fleet Department and continuing to expand its hybrid fleet.
The Parks and Recreation Department also moved forward with the most basic of strategies: planting trees in parks that have been seriously deforested due to construction and natural disasters…Working in conjunction with the Streets Department and local sponsors, the city has been able to place over 18,000 trees and plants in the ground since 2005. In addition to planting these trees, local schools were invited to participate; ensuring that future generations were educated on the significance of plants to the well being of the environment as well as instill in children the habit of conserving and protecting Hialeah’s natural areas.
To further public awareness and education, the Communications and Special Events Department (CSE) and Education and Community Services Department (ECS), released several publications and initiatives throughout the year to keep the public aware in this ever changing world. The Communications and Special Events Department released its first completely green installment of Que Pasa that was filled with useful programs, stories and initiatives, on eco-conservation. In addition, the magazine went “Green” by using certified paper and soy based inks. The department also hosted Hialeah’s first ever “Green Day Hialeah” that brought thousands to Milander Auditorium for live animal presentations, environmental education, conservation displays, and a host of eco friendly companies that could help them live a little “Greener”. To educate our young citizens, the ECS Department and Libraries created Hialeah’s first every youth “Green Kids” club where children get hands-on experience on recycling, conservation, and education. In addition, a “Green” section was set aside at JFK and the E-Libraries where patrons could easily find literature on the subject and this year, Green Day Hialeah was held on May 16, at its new location, Goodlet Park 4200 West 8 Avenue.
The Water and Sewers Department and Solid Waste/Recycling Department tackled the conservation issue head-on by hosting several events in which the public was given, free showerheads and toilet units that help save the amount of water used as well as recycling bins and tons of information. Over 1,500 units were given away saving Hialeah’s citizens 68,996 gallons of water daily. That equals an impressive 25,183,540 gallons of water per year! By recycling bottles, plastics, papers, and metals, we ensure that fewer materials are pulled from the earth and less waste end up in our landfills. Recycling also saves the city the added cost of having to pay a dump to trash our garbage, which in turn, save you money!
With a year behind us, Hialeah continues its progress toward a greener future. In the coming year, Hialeah pledges to continue to build upon the foundation it has so diligently laid. Community projects like Walk for Water Day and Treemendous Hialeah continue to conserve and plant for future generations. The city’s departments pledge to continue their goal at becoming more efficient and an example of that this year, was the Print Shop becoming a certified green partner. Fleet, Water and Sewers, Parks and Recreation, Facilities Maintenance, and CSE/ECS Departments will all continue to research and implement new technologies and programs that will help reduce our waste and increase energy efficiency. It is Hialeah’s goal to not only continue its green work, but be at the forefront of America’s greenest cities.
What’s next? Will they outlaw other petroleum-based products like:
• paint
• oil and greases used to keep car engines and other machines running smoothly
• waxes used in making candles, packages, matches, polishes, crayons, and candy
• petroleum jelly used in medical products, skin-care products, and make-up
• asphalt used for paving roads, and materials for roofing and flooring
• synthetic rubber used in hoses
• synthetic fibers used in carpets, clothing, and shoes
• medicine, such as aspirin and antihistamines
• life-saving medical supplies, such as artificial hearts, heart valve replacements, and pacemakers
• chemicals, such as pesticides
• detergents, such as laundry detergent and dishwashing liquid and many more products derived from oil.

CAMRADE CARTER GOES TO CUBA…AGAIN Jimmy Carter on Meeting Castro: We Welcomed Each Other Like Old Friends!
(AP) — Carter arrived Monday with his wife Rosalynn for a three-day stay on the island. Carter also visited Cuba in 2002, and is the only former U.S. president to do so since the 1959 revolution.

CARTER’S EVIL LEGACY
Many believe Jimmy Carter is a naive farmer who became the global useful idiot. However, for decades Carter has been consistent in his support and love for leftist despots and islamic dictators. We need to realize that, despite appearances, Carter is not an idiot — he is evil. How many lives have been lost or negatively impacted by Carter’s misdeeds?
Carter cut off aid to El Salvador, which was fighting a Communist insurgency, but gave more than $90 million in aid to the Marxist Nicaraguan Sandinistas. He soon halted diplomatic recognition of U.S. allies in Taiwan and recognized Beijing in their place. Though he declared that “human rights is the soul of our foreign policy,” he showered accolades upon Tito, Ceausescu, Ortega, and Kim il-Sung (the last, after his presidency).
Meanwhile, Carter’s brother Billy tried to open trade relations with Libya in 1978 after depositing a generous $220,000 “loan” from Mu’ammar Qadhafi. Billy Carter registered as an agent of a foreign government two years later. [...]
In 2004 Carter certified the dubious election of pro-Castro strongman Hugo Chavez in Venezuela.
[Carter] who, during his presidency, abandoned two key strategic allies of the Western world (Nicaragua and Iran) and left them prey to the anti-American sharks who devoured them.
In the name of some vague and obscure “human rights” doctrine, Carter withdrew support from the Somoza regime in Nicaragua and facilitated the coming to power of the Marxist Sandinistas there in 1979. With the backing of Castro’s Cuba and the Soviet regime, the Sandinistas posed a significant threat to their Central American neighbors and to U.S. security interests throughout the 1980s.
Carter also chastised the Shah of Iran for his human rights record and withdrew American support. This led to the U.S. losing a priceless pro-Western ally in the Middle East – an ally that was replaced by the deranged anti-Western Islamic theocracy of the Ayatollah Khomeini.
Khomeini killed more innocent Iranians (20,000) in a two-week reign of terror than the Shah could have even dreamed of killing throughout his 38 years in power (1941-1979).
…The Soviets saw him to be so gullible, weak and inept that they did not even hesitate to invade Afghanistan under his watch in 1979. Imagine the Soviets even contemplating invading Afghanistan under Reagan’s watch.
Carter is giving Marxist dictator Fidel Castro the same loving kiss of comradeship and support that then-President Carter once stood on tiptoe to give to Soviet dictator Leonid I. Brezhnev.
Why does Jimmy Carter, arguably the smallest, meanest and most incompetent soul ever to be President, hold such views? One answer may be greed. Carter’s motive in attacking Israel becomes clear the instant one sees how many millions of dollars his Carter Center in Atlanta has pocketed from Arab leaders and interests. Many wealthy multinational corporations are eager to profit from the end of America’s trade embargo against Castro, and it would be fascinating to follow their money and see how much is going to the Carter Center and related groups and individuals.
But Mr. Carter…also seems possessed by other demons, including Leftist ideology and loony idealism…
Among those in whose service Jimmy Carter has put his lips, as noted byNational Review’s Jay Nordlinger and Frank Gaffney, Jr., of the Center for Security Policy, are these: the Marxist dictator Ceausescu of Romania (of whom Carter said “Our goals are the same….”); Syrian mass murderer and Soviet ally Hafez al-Assad; Ethiopian mass murderer Mengistu; and North Korean Marxist madman Kim Il Sung [of whose totalitarian state with which we fought the Korean War, Carter said "I don’t see that they are an outlaw nation."].
Jimmy Carter was a relentless supporter of the Castro-aligned Marxist Sandinistas of Nicaragua, doing all in his power to keep their leader Daniel Ortega in power and undermine President Ronald Reagan’s attempts to restore freedom to this Central America nation. And both as President and since, Carter has befriended Fidel Castro and sought to end the bipartisan trade embargo against this country (the same kind of embargo Carter eagerly supported against non-Communist white-ruled Rhodesia and apartheid South Africa).
Carter has always claimed to favor “human rights.” In the name of such rights he as President withdrew U.S. support for the Shah of Iran because the Shah had imprisoned (and in some cases tortured) about 3,000 people, many of them agents of the Soviet Union bordering his nation. Because of Carter, this pro-Western leader was replaced by the fanatic anti-Western Muslim theocracy of the Ayatollah Khomeni.
The Ayatollah’s dictatorship immediately put more than 20,000 pro-Western Iranians before firing squads. It reversed the Shah’s opening to Western culture and rolled back the equal rights he had extended to women. And it promptly plunged Iran into war with neighboring Iraq, a war that never would have happened with the Shah in power – a war that killed more than 500,000 people. It also created the regional instabilities that led to Iraq’s later invasion of Kuwait and to Operation Desert Storm, which cost the lives of hundreds of thousands more.
And the Ayatollah’s overthrow of a major American-aligned leader on the Persian Gulf inspired many thousands of Muslim fanatics to destabilize their own modernizing nations in hopes of likewise creating medieval theocracies and making women again submissive.
Jimmy Carter is therefore part of the reason why Osama bin Laden operatives slammed airliners into the World Trade Center and Pentagon last September 11th. —-
