Isn't that special
2008-01-26 05:23:00 California Food and Agriculture Secretary A.G. Kawamura is in apartheid Cuba pitching pistachios, figs, kiwi fruit and wine in Cuba. All these items considered upscale items. Just one problem Kawa, Cuba has been on the ration book since the beginning of the revolution. I don't think wine and pistachios are on the ration list! I believe what is in demand in Cuba is that of FREEDOM and the release of ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS! More About: Special

2008-01-26 04:52:00 Una provocación con amenaza de agresión física por agentes de la Seguridad del Estado al médico disidente Darsi Ferrer y su esposa fue frustrada porque los vecinos se opusieron y defendieron al doctor y a su esposa cuando estos encararon a los agentes llamándolos “nazis”. .El hecho ocurrió en el domicilio del médico, San Bernardino 265, en el barrio habanero de Santos Suárez, el domingo 20 de enero durante la farsa electoral de la dictadura.Al despertar de mañana, el doctor encontró que durante la madrugada le habían escrito la pared recién pintada del portal con un letrero de “Viva Fidel”.Provocación imposible sin el conocimiento de los oficiales de la Seguridad del Estado y delatores de cuadra que montaron guardia allí toda la noche, por vigilancia habitual contra el doctor y por haber puesto en casa cercana un colegio electoral.

What Elections?
2008-01-23 15:22:00 El Cafe Cubano has not yet posted anything concerning the elections in Cuba, because these are not TRUE ELECTIONS. No matter how the apartheid dictatorship tries to spin it and the media tries to frame it. These are NOT democratic elections! The elections are a farce and everything to do with the apartheid dictatorship is a fake. Our dear apostle Jose Marti never envisioned this for Cuba. From all the blood spilled to gain Independence from Spain and all the blood spilled from the executions at the hand of a ruthless tyranny of 49 years, nuestro Jose Marti envisioned a FREE and prosperous Cuba.Is this what our martyrs died for? NO! Get up nuestro Mambises NOW and take back Cuba just as Jose Marti envisioned. More About: Elections

Code Pink in Little Havana

Funny how they never mention the apartheid dictator of apartheid Cuba and mini-me chavez of Venezuela?They left with their tails between their legs, because they simply DO NOT UNDERSTAND! Have they EVER been imprisoned or tortured simply for wanted FREEDOM? Have they ever had their property seized? Have they ever had a loved one die at sea escaping apartheid Cuba? Have they ever had to stand in ration lines? Have they been denied access to hotels, beaches, and establishments in their OWN COUNTRY! What about all the executions?

What about the other 700 hostages?
2008-01-11 15:40:00 Don't get me wrong, we are happy that ONLY 2 hostages were released by the FARC/Chavez/Castro coalition. What about the other 700 hostages? Why does mini-me chavez have to hold the granddaughter of Consuelo Gonzalez? A REAL humanitarian gesture would be to release ALL the hostages, for the FARC to stop terrorizing Colombia, and for mini-me and the apartheid dictatorship of Cuba to let their country be FREE!So it's up to mini-me and the FARC to play GOD and decide when THEY will release or take hostages?
