Not sure if I would believe him about anything. Strange person. A minister now I believe....operating out of his home.

From Battista to Castro...from bad to bad. Cuba is 50 years behind the times.

What gets me is the 99.5 literacy rate...cuz it's worse than the iron curtain...no one goes in and no one goes out.

Well it is simple. It is a mature authoritarian state were the need for uneducated masses to riot in the streets is over. So now the people do what they are told, and if the state says you are going to learn to read, then you are going to learn to read.

What gets me is the 99.5% literacy rate with no proof for that number. It's called gray propaganda.

A person is considered “literate” in Cuba if they can sign their name.

‘A minister now I believe.’

Depends on the definition of ‘minister.’ Rafael never went to seminary, and he pastors no church, at which he could ‘minister.’
