rising to power
Well, we are on something here....
Darth Ramiro Vader is been privy to visits in the hospital with kasstro, alone.
He's been in every official reception since he was brought back from the shadows, and apparently he's having the last word in everything that's been said or done. He already has demonstrated that he holds power independently of raul kasstro and chavez, and that these two will have to be quiet and do what he says or else.
It's documented that he doesn't have the slightest respect for raul and that he despises chavez. El Mico Putumayo knows that what's happening is not good for him, but I frankly suspect that he's so stupid that he doesn't know what's coming.
What we are seeing is the following:
1- fidel and raul are going to become decorative figures, they are not relevant anymore and Ramiro Valdes has sucessfuly canalized the energies of their unhappy subordinates.
2- Ramiro Valdes is already placing people loyal to him in every possible position of power, present and future. That loyalty is historic, it cannot be created or achieved in a short time, or by turning coats.
3- Ramiro's men are taking over the tourism industry. Appointments to follow in a course of a few weeks.
4- Private meetings are being held with members of the nomenklatura so they know who is boss and to whom the loyalties are due. The message is clear, short, and concise. He's in charge.
5- All contacts with powerful Cuban families abroad were suspended and no reassurance of anything was given to anyone that is not from Ramiro Valdes' own inner circle. Now let them fight to become part of that circle.
And yes, the system will continue to be kasstrism, but without the kasstros having any power whatsoever, they will front the operation until it's convenient, and then, they will fade out to leave the power to a few other people. At this point, it doesn't matter if kasstro comes back from the graveyard or if raul stops dying his hair.
This is all marketing, one of Ramiro Valdes specialties, and marketing uses brand recognition in order to keep selling a product whose quality is not what it used to be. Everybody knows the kasstros and che huevera, and Ramiro Valdes is not going to switch brands right now. It's not convenient at this moment.
All the information should be with a grain of salt, one can't never know for sure what's cooking in the backstage of the tyranny, but what is known is that with Ramiro Valdes at the helm everything will stay the same. He's famous for saying that he doesn't need a silk glove around his iron fist. Repression is going to be the same.
The only difference is that he will open the country to foreign businesses who are eager to invest in Cuba and to exploit Cubans and eventually to the U.S. As long as in life his cut keeps on coming in a steady flow, there will be a piece of the pie for everything that is not his personal enemy. Those will never get a chance to do anything in Cuba while he is in power, his gangster code doesn't have any room for that. It has room for business with whomever recognizes his power.
Why? because he is 75 years old, and unlike the kasstro's he doesn't care for an "eternal revolution" or some historical Third-Reich crap like that. He exclusively cares about power and money, and those don't mean a thing once one is stiff inside a coffin.

This entire scenario is no different than a Mafia SOP framework. The only ray of hope is that with this type mentality taking over (no real belief in 'eternal revolucion' crap), then the standard rule of thumb to their lives is "money talks". With this type of mentality, it should not be difficult for U.S. to provide enough 'incentives' to the right few to bring down this entire house of cards.
Funny, thought the revolution got "rid" of the mafia! The mafia family has been running Cuba for 47 years, now we have a new mafia kingpen in charge, but he stays in the background. Raulita must be having a hissy fit!
When will this nightmare end! Israel was not in exile this long!God please take Cuba back into your arms!!!!!!!
Funnier still:
While the USA makes transition plans and promises of 800 bizillion dollars to a reconstruction etc, they do not have the right to build on a square inch of Cuban soil.
So the day EL SUMO HIJO DE PUTA comes down , the USA ( I guess through Cuban-Americans ) will show up like the cavalry with the bucks and go – let’s start working … Well for YEARS the Europeans have lost billions of dollars and they have been working , some VERY openly like the Melia chain, Italy Telecom or Canada's ICC .. Others, VERY underground like the Sicilian Mafia . The REAL guys . The guys who are still pissed at the American Mafia for a bunch of indiscretions, treason etc.
The Sicilian guys DREAM is to TAKE DOWN Las Vegas. Turn it back into a fucking desert and towards that they have very quietly been buying and building all through the southern coast of Cuba. Yes there will be gambling and prostitution (all very well controlled and in specific areas) Just like Amsterdam, Monaco or Hong Kong
Now imagine a Las Vegas type of entertainment city with SUN stunning beaches and service that does not expect a 20% tip! All only another 20 minutes flight from the USA and a hell of a lot closer to any point in Europe that Las Vegas !
Obviously a democratic government will try to divide the island into a an adult paradise and a safe family environment, so to the north you have the family Vacation spots and to the south, the land of the rich and famous!
And this is not ME blowing smoke, this comes from a very reliable source I met oj a fight by from Kuba. An Italian who is handling the financial deals for the construction of these super hotels throughout southern Cuba. The hotels ARE already there but unlike the Melias they are NOT being made public at all because all the gambling paraphernalia is already integrated. These “Companies” are loosing MILLIONS a day but as he said “putting Las Vegas, The Bahamas , Cancun , Curacao , Miami Beach etc, out of business is not gonna be cheap, but that is the goal.
Some may think that this is a step back to a country were vice will run out of control , but it has been proven that what is considered VICE if managed properly (like the countries I have mentioned above) is strictly controlled it is a BOOM , hell it could be the SOLE source of revenue to a whole country ! And folks, the Sicilians, Spaniards, Germans and Dutch are just waiting for a GO AHEAD! To add to this amazing economic boom that no Cuban can benefit from now, there is in Holguin a HUGE humongous Brazilian owned manufacturer of Cigars and cigarettes! They are at 10% production but the cigars sell like GOLD in Europe and make the COHIBAs taste like dirt.!
That factory already pays the few Cubans employees they have TWICE as any other job in the area and they do it by providing employees with AT WORK PERKS like breakfast, lunch , dinner and a box of cigars every month for their personal use , of curse most wind up being sold in the black-market.
No hotel chain like the Melia builds a 20 million international airport just to offer direct flights to what can be considered a small resort if they are not expecting MASSIVE profits.
So yes, we will have a Mafia in southern Cuba, but these guys are more about making money than whacking people!
