My cellphone has not stopped ringing for the past ten minutes. Various sources inform that an announcement will come within the next few minutes from the Cuban government on Cuban TV and media. Stay tuned and we'll see if we've been manipulated once again or if today is the birth date of Cuba's liberty.
Update: Here's the deal and what I know up to now, as of 1500 hours, August 24, 2007:
First, South Florida Law Enforcement is on alert. An EOC (Emergency Operations Center) has been set-up and manned somewhere in Homestead.
Im also told Local and State government agencies have food, bottled water, and other necessities - valued in the millions - stored and/or staged in Homestead at or near the EOC.
I am presently verifying whether Coast Guard and DHS and Border Patrol agencies are on high alert. (Verified 01445)
Local News stations are abuzz, mostly on reports very much like the above, with massive law enforcemnt mobilizations throughout Dade county.
Local emergency medical services notified to be on alert by law enforcement agencies.
Im told - and still awaiting confirmation - that buses in Havana have been recalled to terminals and that Cuban workers have been sent home. (still unconfirmed 1500)
Again, I am loathe to publish the title as I did in this post, but I would be remiss in not telling you all what I know, right now. All of my sources are good but the Cuban government, as we all know, is masterful at controlling media and information and we should not rule out that this and last Friday's "news" have been and are feelers to see what the reactions are here, as well as who reacts within the island. If we've been duped we've been duped. If not, then bust out the champagne.
Once again, these may all be rumor to discredit us and other media sources. All we can do is exactly what we've been doing for quite some time now: wait and see.
More from Killcastro, with sources from within Cuba.
Again?
Again???
Didn’t this same story come out last Friday?
It’ll be interesting to see how he is eulogized in the MSM, and by prominent Democrats (not to mention Hollywood stars.)
LOL!
Perhaps Cuba will be allowed to rejoin civilization.
:popcorn
I’ve got several bottles on ice for this one.
I hope this evil bastard is burning in hell as we speak.
I ain’t going against you in the sixshooter duel!
Él está muerto, Jaime.
I want verification.
Look for his name to pop up on Democrat voting records around the country.
Is it too late to get in the shower?
Él LOL
LOL -- it was loading those extra two question marks that did you in! *\;-)
Let me be the first to say good riddance to a piece of very bad rubbish who has oppressed his people for nearly 58 years. Hopes for better days ahead for the people of Cuba.
He’s worse than Jason or Mike Meyers...ya can’t kill him.
Crap!
