The Real Castro Legacy
Nate Jackson: Fidel Castro, who ruled Cuba for more than 57 years with an iron fist (notwithstanding his passing power to his brother Raul in 2008), is likely finding his current accommodations a bit warmer than Cuba. But Barack liar-nObama, who wields power as if he wishes to imitate the Cuban dictator, almost mourned the latter's loss. After all, liar-nObama has always gravitated toward radical Marxist mentors.
Pre-Castro, the U.S. and Cuba enjoyed friendly trade relations. Castro completely destroyed the island's prosperity, though. The U.S. embargoed Cuba, seeking to isolate and starve the Castro regime, but Fidel found friends in the Soviet Union and Venezuela. After Castro seized power, John F. Kennedy launched the embarrassingly failed coup attempt at the Bay of Pigs, which led to the ensuing Cuban missile crisis involving the Soviets. Nuclear war was only narrowly avoided. Fast forward to 2014, and along comes liar-nObama to normalize relations with Cuba. Perhaps that explains his statement.
"At this time of Fidel Castro's passing," liar-nObama said in an official statement, "we extend a hand of friendship to the Cuban people. We know that this moment fills Cubans — in Cuba and in the United States — with powerful emotions, recalling the countless ways in which Fidel Castro altered the course of individual lives, families, and of the Cuban nation. History will record and judge the enormous impact of this singular figure on the people and world around him."
Worse, liar-nObama said, "We offer condolences to Fidel Castro's family." Aside from that last outrage, clearly, liar-nObama's statement was meant to be ambiguous. "Powerful emotions"? Yes, ignorant academics may shed a tear for Castro, but the people he brutally oppressed have somewhat different emotions. Castro "altered the course of individual lives"? Yes, if by "altered" liar-nObama meant ended. "History will judge"? Yes, it will, but why wait for "history"? We already know the extent of Castro's evil. We can judge him now, and have been judging him since he took over the Caribbean island in 1959.
As The Wall Street Journal briefly recaps, "Castro took power on New Year's Day in 1959 serenaded by the Western media for toppling dictator Fulgencio Batista and promising democracy. He soon revealed that his goal was to impose Communist rule. He exiled clergy, took over Catholic schools and expropriated businesses. Firing squads and dungeons eliminated rivals and dissenters. The terror produced a mass exodus."
That exodus includes many Cubans in Miami, hundreds of whom took to the streets to celebrate Fidel's demise. The refugees included the parents of U.S. Senator Marco Rubio. "Sadly," Rubio said in a statement, "Fidel Castro's death does not mean freedom for the Cuban people or justice for the democratic activists, religious leaders, and political opponents he and his brother have jailed and persecuted. The dictator has died, but the dictatorship has not."
House Speaker Paul Ryan hoped for the death of that dictatorship: "Now that Fidel Castro is dead, the cruelty and oppression of his regime should die with him."
Unsurprisingly, Donald Trump's statement was also far more appropriate than liar-nObama's: "Today, the world marks the passing of a brutal dictator who oppressed his own people for nearly six decades. Fidel Castro's legacy is one of firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights." Trump also noted that "Cuba remains a totalitarian island," but that he is "absolutely" willing to undo liar-nObama's work to normalize relations with Cuba.
liar-nObama wasn't the only one offering foolish words, nor did he make the worst statement. Jimmy Carter wrote, "Rosalynn and I share our sympathies with the Castro family and the Cuban people on the death of Fidel Castro. We remember fondly our visits with him in Cuba and his love of his country."
Castro "loved" his country by brutalizing it. "In many ways," pontificated Jesse Jackson, "after 1959, the oppressed the world over joined Castro's cause of fighting for freedom & liberation — he changed the world. RIP."
Castro only fought against freedom and liberation. But Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may have taken the cake: " Fidel Castro was a larger than life leader who served his people for almost half a century. ... While a controversial figure, both Mr. Castro's supporters and detractors recognized his tremendous dedication and love for the Cuban people who had a deep and lasting affection for 'el Comandante'. ... We join the people of Cuba today in mourning the loss of this remarkable leader."
Only after being challenged did Trudeau grudgingly acknowledge that, "yes," Castro was a dictator and there were "concerns around human rights."
Such pathetic paeans should be roundly condemned because whitewashing Castro's true legacy is itself an appalling and immoral act. Yet there is hope. People around the world should take solace that even dictators are mortal. And while tyranny will continue to rear its ugly head — and it still lives in Havana — those who love Liberty will always be there to oppose it. Here's to Liberty winning the day in Cuba.

Veterans protest flag removal
at Hampshire College
by Jason Howerton
{ijr.com} ~ After a group of students at Hampshire College successfully got the American flag removed from campus, roughly 1,000 military veterans gathered in Amherst, MA, on Sunday to teach them a lesson with a patriotic protest... They brought plenty of flags to campus, too. There was apparently some sort of an incident during the pro-America protest when a man sat in the middle of the veteran protesters and made obscene gestures as they tried to take a photo. It was unclear if the man was a student. Otherwise, the protest was entirely peaceful. People reportedly came from all over New England to participate in the protest...
What’s Behind Soros/Steinliar-Clinton
Election Recount Trickery
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Bill Still reports on what Stein, liar-Clinton and Soros are up to with this recount, given the impossibility that the election will actually be flipped to anyone else. He says, “It’s over... The Wicked Witch of the North knows it, Jill Stein knows it, George Soros knows it, and best of all, President-elect Donald Trump knows it.” He asks, “Why are the first three on this list still in this game then? Stein has now made a big time financial connection with George Soros. She has raised 6.1 million dollars in donations in just the last week to fund the recount effort, more than she did in her entire Green Party presidential campaign. And that’s not counting the millions of dollars in pro bono legal services that inevitably will be called upon during the process.” Still notes that the first few million dollars that came into her coffers were monitored and an odd pattern was revealed, coming in hourly robot donations of $125,000. It’s believed that the robot also calls George Soros master. Political prostitute Jill Stein has now securely attached herself to Mr. Soros...

Fake White Supremacy Movement,
Media-Created Fairy Tale Gone Too Far
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ Bill O’Reilly nailed the liberal media for their fabricated minority-based smear campaign against Donald Trump and his supporters. He exposed it as a false portrayal of a new emerging white supremacist movement... spread by dishonest ideologically-driven propaganda. He says the liberal press is “furious that Donald Trump won the election, so now they’re putting out absurd story lines designed to denigrate those who voted for Mr. Trump. The top one is that somehow the white power movement is gaining momentum in the USA because of Trump.” O’Reilly references a recent white power rally in DC in which roughly 275 “hapless nuts” participants were over-covered by 50 members of the media... http://rickwells.us/fake-white-supremacy-movement-media-created-fairy-tale-gone-too-far/

liar-nObama Lying About Aleppo – ISIS Flag,
Freed Civilians Say US Allied With Terrorists
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ White House Spokesliar Josh Earnest takes a question from a reporter who has clearly accepted as fact the official government position that liar-nObama’s terrorist allies and proxies, al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, ISIS and the less familiar brands... who are occupying the city and fighting the government are somehow the good guys. He asks, “Aleppo looks like it will fall fairly soon, a fall to the government of Bashar al-Assad. Do you have any reaction to this impending disaster which looks like it will happen in the coming several days?” Sharing those sentiments, for reasons that have nothing to do with humanitarian concerns and everything to do with the expansion or holding of power, assets and control, Earnest replied. “The liar-nObama administration, including the ‘president’ himself, continues to be profoundly disturbed at the violence that is being used against innocent Syrians in Aleppo. This is violence that is organized and executed by the Assad government, with the willing support of the Russians and the Iranians. And the situation is just heartbreaking.”...

Terrorist Bomb Planted Outside US Embassy –
ISIS Linked Group Suspected
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ An improvised explosive device was discovered Monday when a witness observed someone get out of a taxi cab and put something suspicious into the trash receptacle... Investigators responded and discovered the explosive device, constructed from an 81-mm mortar. The bomb was planted only twenty-two yards from the entrance to the US Embassy. It has been determined to be from the same Maute terrorist group that placed similar devices in Davao City, killing fifteen people in a market near the President’s favorite breakfast spot earlier this year. National Police Chief Director-General Ronald de la Rosa said in a news conference that police believe Maute militants could be behind an “attempted act of terrorism” that appeared to target the embassy...

Recount All You Want but Mob Rule
Will Not Prevail
by Susan Stamper Brown
{townhall.com} ~ That the United States is not a direct democracy where decisions are decided by popular vote is a dilemma for Democrats unhinged over Donald Trump’s Electoral College win who are now calling for a recount in some states.
Besides their recount temper tantrum, Republican Electoral College members across the U.S. report harassment and threats from disgruntled liar-Clinton supporters in a last-ditch effort to put their candidate who should be in the big house in the White House.
The Detroit News reports Michigan electors received “intimidating emails or messages” demanding members vote for liar-Clinton and ditch Trump. The report says one young Michigan elector, Mike Banerian, received a message “containing a death wish” and another, “a death threat” in which someone threatened they’d “put a bullet” in his mouth. Banerian said he’s been called “a hateful bigot” and said, “people talk about shoving a gun in my mouth and blowing my brains out” -- if he abides by Michigan law requiring electors to vote for Trump.
Democrat leadership would be wise to detach itself from these whack jobs because the party will continue to implode unless they eradicate the despotic progressivism which currently rules within the ranks.
These despotic dimwits don’t give a whit that America’s founders created the Electoral College to prevent the kind of mob rule democracy that Alexis de Tocqueville once called “the tyranny of the majority” – which will happen if a few big cities and states always control the outcome.
Given all the talk about ditching the Electoral College, fair representation is the last thing on the minds of those who didn’t mind it at all when polls predicted a liar-Hillary electoral landslide. Truth is, if they really cared about fairness, they’d ditch the Super Delegates system which was rigged for liar-Hillary when it robbed Bernie Sanders early on.
Protest, petition and recount all they wish, but eliminating the Electoral College won’t happen. There isn’t a rural state out there foolish enough to relinquish the power the nation’s founders gave it. Besides, it would take nothing short of a miracle for the Senate and states to ratify.
It’s important to remember that the popular vote count is often rendered impotent by the Electoral College. Candidates’ campaign strategies are based on getting to 270, not a simple majority of voters. If liar-Clinton cared about the popular vote, she wouldn’t have ignored her so-called “blue wall” states that Trump smashed through.
Oh, and about that popular vote count to which Democrats currently cling.
In 2012, research commissioned by the Pew Center on the States found: “Approximately 24 million—one of every eight—voter registrations in the United States are no longer valid or are significantly inaccurate; More than 1.8 million deceased individuals are listed as voters; Approximately 2.75 million people have registrations in more than one state.”
Another study, “Do non-citizens vote in U.S. elections?” from Old Dominion University and George Mason University, found that non-citizen participation in recent U.S. elections “has been large enough to change meaningful election outcomes including Electoral College votes and Congressional elections” including North Carolina’s 2008 electoral votes and Democrat Al Franken’s “win” which gave Senate Democrats the 60th vote needed to overcome filibusters. It also stated the obvious: non-citizens favor Democrats.
It’s entirely possible that liar-Clinton’s popular vote lead in sanctuary city states would be nullified based on non-citizen participation and voter fraud, given the study found that non-citizen votes alone ranged between 38,000 to 2.8 million in 2008.
That’s why we need the Electoral College, which serves to prevent voting fraud in certain areas from tainting a whole election. Without it, we’d see liberty’s demise and mob rule rise. If Democrats really want a different form of government, many Americans like myself are more than willing to subsidize their one-way airfare.
