THE HAPPIEST YEARS OF HER LIFE WERE UNDER COMMUNISM
I cannot understand how somebody can write such as stupid article full with
lies. It should be written by some American guy who loved capitalism,
homelessness, no educational, and the crime. This is everywhere in America and
evidence throughout the countries where The United States are detached with the
governments. They have good propaganda about democracy :-) yes Democracy but
hidden dressed capitalism, their freedom concludes: fear, hunger, homeless, and
health only for rich people, University opened only for those who have
money...So, what is Cuba ? One little obstacle, but significant obstacle for the
biggest capitalist named USA . In Cuba every man has a place where to live.
There is none homeless, education is free, and the best one in the world. People
have received free health care, and the crime is the lowest in the world. The
Communism brings equality for the population. There is no better government than
Communism. The American government is afraid of this equality because they got
used to steal as much as they can. They can allow the equality; they want to
divide the population at poverty, and rich nesses. Educated and non educated,
People who can be treated by therapist and people who died in front the hospital
because do not have health insurance. Why on this site are uploaded only
demolished, abandoned buildings, why it's not showed the real Cuba ? Everyone
who went to Cuba knows what mean Cuba is for the people, knows how happy they
live. The Cubans still don't know what is going to happen when this paradise
built by Castro, done. But I know very well what happened with my country before
19 years. Crime, homeless, hunger, elderly-retired population predominate, birth
rate decreased, capable people emigrated, the beautiful nature was demolished by
foreign investigators for new hotels, the sea is polluted.. But now there is
Democracy:-) Yeah Viva Democracy. Just wanted to share my filings and my
opinion. I feel lucky to had childhood during Communism and that was the best
time in my life:-) Elena Stefanova, Republic of Bulgaria
If the best time of your life was under communism, then I
feel sorry for you because you must have lived a very boring, sad, and lousy
life. You claim that everyone is happy in Cuba, with the best health care in the
world, which is also free, free education, free housing. etc. I only have two
questions: Why are so many people willing to risk their lives to flee that
paradise? Why haven't you moved to Cuba to live a happy life again?
ANOTHER FOREIGNER WHO LOVES CASTRO, FROM AFAR
your website is only propaganda. There are no sources or facts about what are
you writing. Do you know anything about the projects "Barrio Adentro" o la "rana
y perro"?? Do you know what I'm talking about or do you think that I'm talking
about Zoo??? I'm asking you Just because You think you are an expert about Cuban
and Venezuelan politic so I supposed you can answer do this simple questions.
I'm sorry for you Guys but the Real bloody dictator has already been defeated
long time agoo. For you Batista's friends and your criminal mafia guys the time
is end. VIVA CUBA LIBRE, VIVA CHAVEZ,CORREA,CRISTINA FERNANDEZ,IGNAZIO LULA DA
SILVA, VIVA EVO MORALES!!!!! p.s. your site wanted to defend Cuba and is not
even in Spanish Bye bye yankee losers. Curro
I am familiar with Barrio Adentro and
also very familiar with Barrio Afuera, the organization headed by Dr. Julio
Cesar Alfonso that helps those slave doctors who are working in Barrio Adentro
and want to defect. About "La Rana y El Perro" I will have to confess that I'm
not familiar with it. Is it a book about Raul and Fidel? By the way, it seems
based on your e-mail address that you are living in Spain. Why haven't you moved
to Cuba and live under the boot of your idol?
IN SUPPORT OF THE REAL CUBA
No doubt the brainwashing has reached the U.S, Europe and Canada. I have
been reading the comments of people and I just laugh about the ignorance some of
them show when writing about The reality of Cuba. My name is Juan Carlos Suarez
and I have just created a group on Facebook supporting 100% this website. I'm a
rafter "BALSERO" , a survivor of the cuban genocide and I will ask to those who
defend the Castros little mafia, to do their home work and find out statistics
about how many Cuban people have died trying to escape the Island on inner tubes
or handmade rafts and how many of those have been killed by the Cuban vicious
coast guard, also ask the Cuban government what is the exact number of people
serving years of jail time just for expressing their opposition to the
government, plus how many of those have been assassinated by the prison guards.
No coman tanta mierda and stop being so cruel to the people of the Island. Cuba
is the most vivid representation of modern slavery in the world and the
plantation owners have 11 million of slaves working for them without right to
abandon the plantation except those who can pay for a "Freedom Pass" or "Carta
de Libertad" exactly like in colonial times. By the way this is what tourists
are amazed about: how colonial is Cuban life style ...how plantation like is the
life of Cuban people. Shame on those who use our beaches for vacationing
ignoring that over 75,000 Cubans have disappeared there in 49 years trying to
escape from the Plantation. Juan Carlos.
Excellent letter. Thanks for sharing
your experiences about the real Cuba.
HE LEARNED THE TRUTH ABOUT CASTRO AND CHE
GUEVARA
After a lifetime of ignorance on the subject of post Castro Cuba and Che
Guevara, I finally educated myself. While I would agree with the tone of your
excellent website, I believe that Americans being allowed to travel to Cuba
would accelerate the eventual true liberation of Cuba. And trust me, the day
will come when that liberation will happen. Great website. Never give up your
dream. Mark
I would agree with you, except that most of the tourists who go to Cuba choose
to stay in the resorts and do not mingle with regular Cubans. The Cuban
government also does everything it can, to prevent Cubans from having close
contact with foreigners.
HAPPY WITH OUR COVERAGE OF OTHER COUNTRIES
Hi. I am a regular visitor to your site. Not only do I get news regarding
what is going on in Cuba, but also a very good compendium of what happens in
related stories (such as the Colombia/ Ecuador/Venezuela issue) I was able to
stay updated through your website with excellent access to several sources
through the links provided. t is unfortunate that so many people idolize an
individual without really researching what that individual stood (stands) for. I
refer to the Che issue. Or it could well be somene else who has been put on a
pedestal by the media (after all, it was the US media, by way of the NY Times
and H. Matthews, who helped put Castro in control). The average individual does
not even know what Che did, the murders he personally committed and the many
more that were committed in his name and by his orders. Even when the facts are
put in front of them, they will refuse them as "propaganda". As far as Rangel
and Serrano: They both are, and have always been, opportunistic useful idiots.
Their onl agenda has been to keep power, and to do so in any way possible. If it
means paying homage to a tyrant who has destroyed a country, so be it. Anyway,
Congratulations on your third anniversary; many more to come and, eventually
openly written in Cuba, I hope. Regards, R.J. Alcazar
PEOPLE ARE STILL CONFUSED ABOUT THE REAL
CUBA
Hello George, I noticed some of the feedback that people send to you. I can't
believe after all these FACTS, thrid-party testimonies, and your own experiences
that people are still naive about The Real Cuba. As I read one of the letters
about the lack of knowledge from people outside of Miami, I can't agree any more
about this. I am from California and I was never for Fidel Castro, but after
coming to your website I never knew the atrocities this man has committed to the
Cuban people. How can someone have the nerve to enslave and control all these
people, and not feel any guilt about it??? This website has enlightened me more,
and has engulfed me into what is going on in Latin America today. Although I am
Guatemalan-American I feel for what your people go through and I hope all those
"revolutionaries" get toppled, and bring in a democratic Cuba so I can finally
go visit there to enjoy a mojito, and a real Cuban cigar!
And to all those Fidel-lovers here's the first of many, many MANY lies...

Thanks Jerome. Some people refuse to
accept the reality of Cuba under Castro because they would have to admit that
they were fooled by the bearded dictator. Some others want to keep supporting
Castro out of their hate for the US, without understanding that Castro is not
hurting the US but the Cuban people. And some others are just plain dumb.
FROM A NASTY FOUL MOUTHED MORON
fxxx you and your stupid capitalist dreams... you think the rest of the
world is "free"? who decides what you see, read, hear, etc? big business... that
does not equal democracy...hands off CUBA now and forever! Get a life!
Christopher Mitchell
You are another one of those stupid
and racist foreigners who likes to live in freedom but wants to keep the Cuban
people enslaved. You are the one who needs to get a life and stop licking the
boots of foreign criminals.
SECOND LETTER FROM THE SAME GUY
you failed to answer the questions, moron... as for you: another disgruntled
Cuban who came to this country (or your grandparents) when they got their
manufacturing plant or casino taken away in the revolution and therefore were
left unable to continue the exploitation of 99.9% of your own people. it's
called history, you might want to look into it...
It is not called history, asshole, it
is called thievery. You envy everyone who worked hard and progressed because you
must be a complete failure. There are over two million Cubans in exile. If
everyone who left Cuba lost a manufacturing plant, Cuba must have been the most
industrialized country in the world. Do you see how stupid your arguments are?
DAN RATHER ON CUBA
Watched Dan Rather's Cuba piece on his HDNet program. He claims that
refrigerators are being handed out for free now, and showed stocked stores
without pointing out that the goods were only available to those with hard
currency. He let the big-headed guy Alarcon spew a bunch of proganda without
even trying to challenge the veracity of it. Rather is a big fan of ideas like
Obama's pledge to sit down with Raul Castro "as an equal, and show respect."
Rather also interviewed a young generation Cuban-American supporter of Obama who
was in favor of lifting the embargo (without getting any concessions, of
course). Rather showed that U.S. trade goods were only available for cash up
front, while those of other trading countries were not, without pointing out how
much Cuba is in debt to those countries. To Rather's credit, he showed a real
medical clinic for ordinary people (Michael Moore only showed facilities for
tourists), where the clinicians made up for a lack of proper supplies and
equipment by exhibiting "determination and hard work" to solve health problems.

PLANNING TO VISIT CUBA
Hello, My family recently booked a trip to Cuba and I will be going in a few
weeks. I have never been there before and wanted to research about the poverty
and other things I heard. Your website was very informative about the real Cuba.
When I get there I want to see with my eyes what's actually going on and not
just stay at the resort and think that's what the real Cuba is like. I have
several things I am bringing with me to donate to the children and families
there. I was just wondering if you happen to know smaller villages near Santa
Lucia that I should go to, and/ or a list of items you could suggest I bring as
donations (or if there is a section in the website where it states it but I may
have overlooked it). Thank you. ~Erin, Ontario, Canada
Thanks for writing. I suggest that you visit
the following website, about ideas of what you can bring to help the children in
Cuba:
http://www.yourloveforcuba.org/
Please write again after you return. I'll
like to hear about your experiences and, if you can, please share some
photos with us in complete confidentiality. Good luck and have a safe trip.
DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT CASTRO AND CHE,
UNTIL NOW
I will admit, I was pretty ignorant about Cuba, Castro, and Che Guevara. I was
under the impression (like many other folks around here) that Che was a good
person and that if it weren't for Castro, Black Cubans would be denied a proper
education, etc. The reason for this is because in high school and even college
here they don't teach anything about Cuba except the takeover and how horrible
of a person Batista was. Everything else I learned about Cuba and her dictators
were from romanticized histories from various people. I never even understood
why people hated Che Guevara. Thanks to your site I have finally learned the
truth and it makes me very angry when people wear shirts and/or accessories with
Che's face on it. If someone were to walk outside with a picture of Saddam
Hussein or Hitler as a fashion statement they would face some horrible backlash
and to be honest I don't see how Che is different. He is a murderer just like
these other two leaders I have mentioned before and people need to stop
glorifying m. There is nothing glorious about a mass murderer. Thank you again
for your site and every time I see people who seem ignorant about the Cuban
issue I direct them here! Mechelle A.
Thank you very much for writing. I
completely agree with you that if people knew the truth, they would not wear
t-shirts with Che's face on it, just like they would not wear t-shirts with the
face of other dictators or murderers.
ABOUT THE REAL CUBA WEBSITE
Hello, I have been reading your website for several months. I can't even
tell you how I found it to begin with, it was a complete accident. I always knew
the situation in Cuba was bad, but I had no idea how desperate it really was. It
sickens me. I have been telling everyone I can about your website, and trying to
spread awareness. I am a registered nurse, and I can tell you every time you
post a picture about the health care in Cuba (or Venezuela), it appalls me. The
pictures you posted today of the Women in White being dragged onto buses was
unbelievable. I'm speechless. One idea that I had for spreading awareness of
your website and the unthinkable situation in Cuba is to create an advertisement
or logo in html form (I think) that can be added to a blog, such as myspace. I'm
sure supporters of your website and the message it contains would be happy to
post it, which would provide you with free advertising. Something to think
about. Thank you again for your website. I will continue to check it daily. Que
D ios le bendiga por todo que ha hecho Stephanie
Stephanie, thanks for writing and for your suggestions. I will check with some
friends who use MySpace. Best regards and please keep in touch.
