Visitors to Fidel Castro's Posh 'Secret Island': Erich Honnecher, Ted Turner, Baba Wawa...

Apparently only communists were invited

After 17 years as a personal bodyguard of Fidel Castro, Juan Rienaldo Sanchez recently claimed in a new book that the Cuban dictator was a major trafficker of illegal drugs into the US for years- and profited handsomely from it. Sound plenty believable to me, North Korea exports meth for hard currency- and El Jefe was close with Columbia's coke-producing communist rebels/terrorists FARC.

Other interesting revelations would be that Fidel kept his immediate family a secret -had more kids out of wedlock- and was kind of a lazy slob that
'always slept until 10 or 11am', hated to wear a suit, and had a beard primarily because he couldn't be bothered to shave...

But Sanchez also claims Fidel discovered a blissful stone cay -Caya Piedra- that was unknown to most while inspecting the area where the Bay-of-Pigs debacle had just taken place. A local fisherman was guiding him on a tour of the area and boated out to the mini-island to show him the view.

Soon the Cuban leader claimed it for his own -tore down the lighthouse- and built a small port for a high-speed (42 knots!) luxury yacht, vacation home, floating bar/grille, mini-Sea World, etc- not as blatant as say -a Gaddafi- but a far cry from the public speeches, where Castro denounced vacations as a bourgeois excess The Revolution could not afford. 

Like Hitler, Castro implied he couldn't spare a day of rest, as he was the chosen one and the country can't live five minutes without him...
all while getting up late every day, enjoying indulgent getaways, etc. 

But it's the Caya Piedra guest list that got me- Erich Honecker, hard-core communist leader of (gritty Stalinist hell) East Germany... OK, I can see that one. But Fidel went so far as to give the East Germans a 9 mile x 300 yard island an hour's sail from Castro's place... replete with a statue of Germany's 1930s communist leader -Ernst Thälmann- who he had just-renamed the tropical isle for.

But TED TURNER? Is that even legal? I guess as a guest of Castro, he didn't have to spend a dime- so I guess that's not breaking the embargo. But what's capitalism's-greatest-ingrate doing down there, anyway? Does the CIA have a file on this crap?

And -uh- 'respected' Barbara Walters is still on TV, a major Obama pumper from the get-go and somehow a woman some Americans still look to for honest political opinion. 

She was down there visiting Fidel Castro (apparently before or after her 1977 TV interview with him on the nearby Bay-of-Pigs) who's a sworn enemy of the United States, a self-serving Stalinist beast that still holds thousands of political prisoners, an economic incompetent who never in 50+ years found a way to create any sort of real economy, just a personality cult belching propaganda while providing only a mediocre barely-enough-of-anything existence for a vast majority of Cubans (state employees), who in 2013 still only averaged $20 A MONTH in real income, if you can believe that.

THIS guy Baba Wawa STILL says she 'loves'... I wonder if Castro serviced her needs down there on that island, she sure acts like it.

Sleeping in until 10 or 11. Hummm…that seems to ring a bell with a certain mayor of a large east coast city. I just can’t seem to Wilham his name. My memory seems to have a fit of De Blazio.

[Norm Lenhart]

Didn’t she admit (in a book?) to having been serviced or having serviced for most steps up her ladder to ‘success’?

[Reaganite Republican]

I hate DeBlasio- but hadn’t heard that one yet

Hitler was famous for not appearing until lunch, even 2pm at the Berghof...
and he didn’t drink

Seems to be a thing with radical megalomaniacs

[Reaganite Republican]

I can’t imagine how Baba Wawa could use her body as currency with anybody who had other options- the woman is utterly sexless, the personality grates

[Olog-hai]

Other interesting revelations would be that Fidel kept his immediate family a secret, had more kids out of wedlock …

The latter claim here would be regarded as a good thing in terms of Communist doctrine, which strongly stipulates “abolition of the family”.

[Norm Lenhart]

I forget where I read it but it was something here on FR a few years back. The whoring her way to success thing was back in the JFK era or a bit later when she was a ‘bit’ more desirable.

FWIW

This wasn’t it but this cam up on a quick search.

[Reaganite Republican]

That’s quite an interesting observation

[Reaganite Republican]

In her own book she sounds like she like to spread it around, ‘blackest man she ever slept with’ , etc

Disgusting!

[Travis McGee]

Typical behavior by lying hypocritical Communist leaders. Mao had procurers and harems of the fairest maidens, brought to him for inspection and ritual you don’t want to know. All the while lying blissful Utopian fairy tales to the proles. Why should Castro be any less? But it’s good to know the names of the capos and Quislings who were happy to play tyrant’s lap pet for a stroke between the ears. Ted Turner owns half of the west through trusts, him and Fidel on a secret island talking about “taking care of the little people,” it’s just too rich. What a movie, if there were honest movie makers around. Baba Wawa could interview them both, make it all into a parody docudrama like Spinal Tap.

Yes, totalitarian dictators always lead their lives of luxury while
telling the masses that life is better than ever as they toil for a
pittance.

Sic semper tyrannis.

Castro’s pedophile island?
