I don't want the government's money
Early this morning, Fox News had something strange in its ticker about the City of Miami selecting the Orange Bowl for the "official celebrations" for fidel castro's death. I was actually in the middle of my workout, so I thought that maybe castro had decided to die and make my day. No. I got to the office, and I had a gazillion e-mails from friends, family, readers, acquaintances and unknowns sending me links to blogs, newspapers, and whatnot about an official celebration for the death of castro, whenever it happens, in which the official organizers expect to line up entertainers who donate their time, and a long description of the logistics.
Well, whatever, I thought. I don't want the government's money. I don't believe that the government has to finance anybody's celebration, for whatever motives.
You celebrate the 4th of July on your own nickel and dime.
You celebrate Christmas and Hannukah and the New Year on your own penny, no?
And you celebrate your birthday. And whatever else you want. On your own dollar.
Yes, castro is a reknown international terrorist and a criminal bastard.
But I think the celebration has to be done by everyone who wants it, and that the government has no place in it. Why?
First of all, I don't want any money from the government when the government allows 34 States to deal with castro and at the same time keeps the dry foot wet foot in place. I don't want a government financed party when the government has decided who are my family members, who are not, how much money I can give them and when, and when I can go and visit them when they are not free to come visit me. I just don't want the government throwing a party because I am gonna be glad when that bastard kicks the bucket.
I think that everybody who wants to celebrate should do it, as long as they do it on their own penny. Government sponsored parties sounds very familiar to me, the tyranny of castro throw them all the time.
I think that if you want to celebrate, you should. Be my guest, celebrate whatever you want as much as you want. Pay for it, when you are at it, as it is your own celebration and your own responsibility.
I actually won't be celebrating anything. I have nothing to celebrate if the freedom of Cuba is not achieved, and the death of castro doesn't automatically bring any freedom to Cuba. It actually brings the continuation of the tyranny in the bloody hands of raul castro, and he has manifested his desire of having his favorite nephew fidelito castro to get his hands on the wheel when he "retires". If you haven't noticed, fidelito has let his beard grown, to remind us of his "charismatic" father during his younger days, and he already put back his old family name to use: Diaz Balart.
As far as we are concerned, kasstro is already dead, politically speaking, he is as good as dead.
There are Cubans dying in the sea, there are Cubans being repressed and killed and hunted down like wild animals. The bi-coastal guard is still busy sending rafters back, so I have nothing to celebrate. I am not celebrating the death that will give raul kasstro full access to the throne of Cuba. I am not celebrating that the tyranny is being continued by other means, if you know what I mean. As long as the tyranny is in place in Cuba I am not celebrating anything. It would be a slap to the face of the opressed Cubans, since fidel castro is not the problem in itself. He is just the symbol, the face of the problem, the real problem is the system he created and that is being sustained and legitimized by his brother successor.
Actually, such a big bang government sponsored party will kill anychance of having a free Cuba in the future. Hip swiveling will kill any chance of having any hard action taken against the tyranny, since the U.S. Government will say: "oh, no, you already celebrated, there's no more fidel castro, there's no more tyranny, and we are ready to deal with raul.... if raul was that much of a son of bitch, why on Earth did you celebrate that his brother was dead when you knew that he was ascending to the throne?"
That castro is alive or dead is irrelevant at this moment. The main core of the problem here is that 12 million Cubans are still opressed and under a tyranny, face it, the biological death of castro is not going to change a thing, for much that people celebrate.
I am one who doesn't believe in big government or in getting any government handouts, or who wants any part of my life regulated or dictated by the government. So I don't want the government giving me a place, occasion, timing, and entertainment to celebrate anything, and much less getting much needed tax dollars to celebrate anything.
Anything you get free from the government you pay for whenever you least expect it.
As I am telling you, if the government sponsored party is fine and dandy with you, you will have to be ready to accept that the government deals with the tyranny release 2.0 and release 3.0 on their own terms without your participation. They already paid for your party, and your acceptance of the party will mean the end of the tyranny for them. So they will be free to support whatever system is installed in Cuba after the clinical death of kasstro.
Amazingly, in an article that appeared in the Miami Herald the local politico, City Commisioner Tomas Regalado said. "There is something to celebrate, regardless of what happens next. ... We get rid of the guy." No, you didn't do anything to get rid of the guy, Mr. Regalado, time got him, illness got him, not your "actions". As we have predicted in this blog, many politicos are ready to take credit for the death of kasstro. Which is absurd and ridiculous. Such a celebration will also put Cubans in the worst possible light, as if we were a bunch of barbarians, and there will be a bunch of assholes who will point out that Iraqi Americans didn't celebrate the death of Saddam.... who by the way, was brought to justice for his unspeakable crimes.
Celebrate privately, if you must.
We will be mourning the hundreds of thousands of Cubans who died under the tyranny, the ones who were taken to the shooting squad, the ones who drowned in the Straits, the ones who died serving in the military in the African wars of the Napoleon of the Caribbean, the ones who died of sadness in Cuba, and the ones who couldn't return to a free Cuba. We will be sad because time and old age snatched fidel castro, and because justice could not be served. We will be sad, because the tyranny is still in place, and we will be sad because people fail to see it.
We will only celebrate when we have a free Cuba. Not a minute before.
Well, whatever, I thought. I don't want the government's money. I don't believe that the government has to finance anybody's celebration, for whatever motives.

Waste of money. Really how many people are going to show up to that dump of a stadium. NO ONE! You are correct until there is democracy on the island Castro's death is irrelevant.
Coincidentally, I was thinking about this last night. The reason was that I received communication from 4 independent sources that THE BEAST is DEAD!.
Three of them are people who I am not 100% sure about . One of them is a TOP guy with TOP contacts.
Also, a LOT of subliminal signals are being sent from La Junta to the Cuban people.
Staff at the Bejucal plant are back at work. Doctors and nurses who had been on call 24/7 are no longer needed and MOST important it is confirmed his body is at PUNTO CERO.
So, if (as one of the text messages I received read “EL VIEJO ESTA MUERTO”) what is MY reaction?
And suddenly I recalled the words of KaSStro himself upon the death of John F. Kennedy.
“We do not celebrate the death of a man , we celebrate the death of a system”
The fact that KaSStro himself had a LOT to do with Kennedy’s death be damned. This is political propaganda at ITS BEST!
The consummate hypocrite, and hypocrisy gets you places in the world of politics.
Here KaSStro shows the world that he’s saddened by the death of a man, and archrival no less. THAT bit of rhetoric won him a tremendous amount of good will world wide. Even the Russians were impressed and followed up with a similar message!
So, do *WE* celebrate the death of a MONSTER? Or do we celebrate the death of the brutal system he put in place, when the moment arrives?
I believe when it is official that the prick is no longer breathing our air , a smile will cross my lips and I will probably damn him to eternal penance in hell, but celebrate? What is there to celebrate?
We DID not wage war against him and took him down in battle; father time took care of that.
He shoved 48 years of brutal dictatorship 90 miles from the USA shore and the USA took it.
What do WE celebrate?
Any celebration on the death of this motherfucker is to give HIM more value than he deserves AND celebrating ANY death at THAT magnitude (the Orange Bowl, dude) puts all of US Cuban-Americans in a hell of a quandary, because WE must live with the world, and the world will look at us and we will still be the crazy Cubans, now 10 times over.
Bush, condemned the fact that 3 men mocked and taunted Saddam on the gallows, he called it reprehensible, but the City of Miami will CELEBRATE A DEATH?
Are we forgetting the system is still THERE!? Are we forgetting that 12 million Cubans are still in prison?
Instead of a celebration, we should show a moment of solidarity with the people of Cuba. We en mass, should mourn those THE BEAST killed , NOT HIS death.
God took care of that.
I assure you the world will look at us in a total different way if we take this opportunity to show the world that the SYSTEM is still alive and well and it is THE SYSTEM that strangles our brothers and sisters in the Island and that we MOURN for the people of Cuba. KaSStro's death is just one less obstacle but definetely NOT the end of the race.
This is an ill advised, knee jerk, reactionary act, with not a ounce of forethought as to the consequences. I guess Miamians forget the heat they took about Elian, and now they will do it again in a government sponsored shing-ding.
I do NOT understand it man, I do not understand why we keep being our own worst enemies. I do not understand why we do not learn from our mistakes, I do not understand why we do not use these opportunities to gain the good will of EVERYONE, including Cubans in the island.
As it stands, if this happens and we throw that party, the government of the USA is saying..
“Okey, he is dead and you accepted this party so we are done with you”. THAT was what YOU wanted his death.
NOPE … we want the SYSTEM to be gone, and the USA can NOT take the death of KaSStro as the water to wipe their hands off from all responsibilities about Cuba.
We ALL know, that the Bush restrictions will collapse, ‘cause Bush AIN’T gonna veto the bill that WILL be passed. Bush is in NO position to make enemies within his own party!
So that means that a free flow of remittances and travel from both Cuban-Americans and Americans will begin to happen VERY soon. What does this portend?
Well the USA will be forced to deal with La China because the open flow of traffic MUST be policed somehow and it can not be done unless the Kuban government sits at the table and negotiates.
SO, I ask YOU, those who plan to go and CELEBRATE the death of the MONSTER
WHAT ARE YOU CELEBRATING?
KC, you write:
"...This is an ill advised, knee jerk, reactionary act, with not a ounce of forethought as to the consequences. I guess Miamians forget the heat they took about Elian, and now they will do it again in a government sponsored shing-ding..."
Again, doesn't the Miami-based Cuban exile community understand PR and strategic communication tactics? Apparently not, because you're right - what they're proposing to do will undermine what little legitimacy they have left when calling for a transition to democracy in Cuba.
Let everyone who has suffered as a result of Castro celebrate his death in private, in their own homes, with their remaining family members; or go to church, pray for the souls of the many who died because of that bastard. But to make a public display of jubilation, when, in reality, the US was ultimately impotent and incapable of destroying Castro and his regime is distorted.
Again, celebrate his death in private. Weep for your dead loved ones. Weep for the property you lost and the fact that you're exiled from your homeland - the most beautiful country in the world. But please, the only appropriate public ceremony in the US when Castro's death is announced would be a candlelight vigil to 1) honor and remember those who died as a result of the tyrany and 2) to refocus attention on the millions of Cubans who will continue to suffer because the tyrannical system Castro put in place continues as strong or more so than before.
"I actually won't be celebrating anything. I have nothing to celebrate if the freedom of Cuba is not achieved, and the death of castro doesn't automatically bring any freedom to Cuba."
I agree with you. I wouldn´t like to celebrate Castros death if i don´t see freedom in my country.
I don´t need Castro´s head. I need a free Cuba.
¡Viva Cuba Libre!
Joep,
I agree with what you wrote. However, this city is going to explode! KillCastro I don't think he is dead yet however if he is taking anti-fungal medications because of infections caused by the surgeries then it is a matter of time because of the effects the meds have on the kidneys.
Alex -
As we have ALWAYS said we will know when he is DEAD , when Granma announces it not a second before and NO blogger is gonna have THAT scoop. BUT... with that said .. the attitude of the Junta is that this is a fête accompli.
I still recal Franco's death , and he was "ailing" for 6 months ! when the whle WORLD knew he was dead!
In Kuba , the people need to get used to the idea , and I am telling you the Pricks in Power are making damn sure they get used to the idea.!
KC,
Did you notice that there were people marching in Cuba celebrating Jose marti with pictures of raulita? that has nvere happened, so something is up! I don't believe the apartheid dictator is dead yet, but he will never return to his old dictator ways!
I will celebrate just for a moment with a special cigar, but I will mostly be sad for all those qho have died and will never see the dictator gone! Raulita and the little women still have the power and will continue to oppress the Cuban people!
Guys,
I see it a different way. I am going to celebrate for the people in Kuba that won't be able too. I am going to celebrate for those locked up. I am going to celebrate for the thousands who have died at the hands of kasstro and his goons. I am going to celebrate for all of my family members that died and did not get to see the bastard who was the cause for them having to flee their homeland die. Lastly, I am going to celebreate because I am proud to be Cuban and the goon who caused so much misery in my family's homeland, is GONE.
No matter how we do it, Orange Bowl or not, we will still be those crazy Cubans to the rest of the 49 1/2 states (including North Florida). The MSM will never understand our pain and suffering. While CNN is running, kasstro: The Death of a Presdient, they will have no choice, but to show hundreds of thousands of Cuban celebrating his death. A candle vigil sounds nice, but I don't want that to be mistaken with a vigil for his death. The MSM will distort the news to HIS favor. They have done it for many years now.
I agree with freedom4cuba! Cubans in Miami will celebrate because we will be happy and we are free to show it, unlike our enslaved compatriots on the island jail.
"Tomás Regalado"????
Hay apellidos que podrían cambiarselos, sobre todo a la hora de hacer regalitos :p hahaha
Jose, freedom4cuba: don't we celebrate our freedom everyday? I for sure do.
kasstro is just the tip of the iceberg, the death of kasstro doesn't mean a thing at this particular historical time, when he is dying in his hospital bed of natural causes. He escaped justice, that's not to be celebrated. I know that our politicos and leaders (they don't speak for me, for the record) will take credit for the death of kasstro, when they have done nothing for our fellow countrymen. I can't celebrate because our job is not done, is not finished yet. Cuba won't be free just because kasstro kicks the bucket. Cuba will continue enslaved. Cubans will continue to be enslaved. But a celebration will actually give the impression to the rest of the country, the whole 50 states, and to the world that we identify the problem of Cuba with only one man, kasstro.
As per the suffering, the people who are in Cuba has suffered more than we had. They still don't have the freedoms we do. Both KillCastro and myself will be mourning, as we are now, for the victims of the tyranny, which we have sworn to avenge until our last breath, until the end of our lives. A celebration will tell the U.S. government that we don't care about what happens next, that we wanted the head of castro and that father time gave it to us.... Are we for a second forgetting that Cuba will not be free just because castro dies. If our problem was only one man, and we weren't capable of taking him down, well, that talks very badly about us as a nation. It's the system. It's the diabolical system that killed the best sons and daughters of Cuba and transformed the island into Kuba the tropical Gulag.
If we hold a candle vigil, as our friend JoeP suggests, it will not be mistaken for a homage to kasstro, because the American people is not stupid, and the world is not stupid, besides, everyone of us will make sure that the world knows that the tyrannical regime hasn't ended with the dead of castro, and that 12 million of our brothers and sisters are still subject to vexations and humiliations everysingle second of their existences.
I cannot celebrate for my family members who died without seen Cuba free, because Cuba is not free yet. I cannot celebrate for the people of Cuba, because yes, they will be happy that one son of the bitch is gone, but they will be still manacled by the tyranny. I won't celebrate the death of castro because that would equal to celebrate the continuation of the tyranny in the hands of raul.
Honestly, I think that celebrating the death of kasstro sends a message to Cuba that I don't want to send: we are thrilled that castro is dead, that's all we cared about.
I just want somebody to convince me that Cuba is going to be any freer just because kasstro is no more. Do you guys know what raul castro is capable of? Don't you guys know that repression is in ascent in Cuba, and the "respect" for the human rights is in a record low?
I will repeat the last sentence of the original post: We will celebrate when we have a free Cuba, not a minute before.
Will I celebrate when the dry-foot wet-foot is still in place, and when all the signs point to a total legitimization of the release 2.0 of the tyranny? No.
Sorry guys, but that celebration will doom us. The U.S. Government will say: you guys already celebrated, so the bastard's a goner, and we are going to grab our piece of the pie, before everybody cuts it and leave us out of it.
Besides, the celebration is the worst P.R. possible for the cause of a free Cuba.
Now, if you want to celebrate, go ahead, you are free to do whatever you want and I am nobody to stop you from doing it.
I will celebrate when the Cubans of the island can celebrate their freedom. Only then.
And you have all the right in the world to see it a different way !
But your rationalizing sounds to me quite skew buddy.
I mean, did you READ and analyze what you wrote? , Did you read and analyze what we wrote?
You are going to celebrate for those who have died?
I do not know but I do recall a ticker tape parade when we won WWII BUT . The JEWS those who suffered the most locked themselves up and prayed for those who had died.
There were not sing alongs at Auswitch. There were no parties at Pearl Harbor.
*I* personally think that is a MUCH more appropriate gesture of respect to those who died! , but hey that is just me.
The death of a monster doesn’t bring back their loved ones , they will still be dead , and trust me their souls are not looking for you to go out on a comparsa.
As far as celebrating for those still in Cuba; when was the last time you were in Cuba?
Do you think that Cubans in Cuba , are in any mood to celebrate anything ? The yoke is still on their necks and seeing YOU having a party , is NOT putting any food on their table. And THAT is what Cubans want, FOOD!
So KaSStro dies and Cubans still have NO freedom and NO food and NO medicine and NOTHING is changed. But YOU think they will look at the images shown on Kuba TV and say .. GOOD FOR THEM , look how happy they are and that makes ME happy !
You have ALL the right in the world to do as you please, especially in this country , but because the MSM has deemed to tagged us as Crazy Cubans and every time we pull one of these numbers the sentiments on the 49 ½ states about Cubans in general is tainted by this behavior , you are ok with perpetuating that image?
Perhaps you can explain to me how being perceived as lunatics and playing into it, help the Cuban cause at ANY level.
I REALLY do not understand the rationale. Yes the MSM keeps shitting on us , and we are more than happy to have MORE reasons to shit on us and spread a VERY disturbing profile of Cubans across the USA and the world?
It is confounding, it really is that we would not try to shed that image.
Now again you rationalize that a vigil would be taken as a vigil mourning KaSStro ? how so ?
You are not gonna sit there with candles , and sing Koombaya , you will have spoke people, you will have signs that leave NO doubt as to WHY you are there.
“On this day when we KNOW that the BEAST FIDEL CASTRO will no longer kill any more Cubans , we mourn for the death of those he HAS killed for over 50 years and ask the world to help us liberate our country from the grip that STILL engulfs them”
“We will celebrate when ALL the people of Cuba can celebrate together”
How does THAT get distorted? And which message do you think will do the most good to the REAL freedom of Cuba.
So you rather perpetuate an unsympathetic view of Cubans than run the risk of the MSM distorting your actions? Interesting
The MSM will POUNCE on you , the USA public will look at you as lunatics and they will be able to say “ see we told you so”
And as far as CNN, a quiet vigil by hundred of thousands of Cubans as to the fact that Cubans ARE STILL SLAVES sends a much more powerful message to the world . The message that the death of this prick has not changed ANYTHING for those 12 million people still alive (barely) and it would be a DAMN good moment to shove their plight into every American’s home.
But … YOU DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO AS YOU WISH!
CB and KC,
You guys make a lot of excellent points and I totally agree with most of them. It would have definitely been better for fidel to have been killed years ago thus saving the Cuban people many years of suffering. We will never be totally happy until the horrible SYSTEM installed in Cuba is totally dismantled and all Cubans can enjoy the freedom all of us here cherish. When fidel finally dies, I am sure there will be many reactions from Cubans around the world, some somber vigils for our martyrs which I also agree with, some wild celebrations, and everything in between. The sooner he dies, the sooner our inevitable march toward real freedom will begin.
Un abrazo, Jose
We are on the same page Jose!
Jose:
Just getting to the CORE of our 48 years struggle. From those who preceded us to the ones who barely know what a granizado is...
what was our war cry ? ALWAYS!
NEXT YEAR IN CUBA !
Cause THERE was were the party was gonna happen !
And THAT will be the celebration, man, the biggest fucking party Latin America or even the world has ever seen, but ALL OF US TOGETHER! if not physically in spirit.
A god damn telethons of parties , parties all over Cuba , party in Miami , in Los Angeles in New York, in Spain at unison we can stand UP and LAUGH again because our beloved country IS FREE!
To celebrate cause this piece of motherfucking shit is dead, detracts from the truth , that CUBA is STILL an island prision ! The REAL party should take a FREE democracy again reigns in Cuba.!
And that is pretty much the sentiment . Let us party YES ! but NOT rub the fact that we CAN and those in Cuba can NOT! we need solidarity with those in Cuba mi hermano, because the country is actually THEIRS , they took the 48 years of sacrifice , we just packed up and split. If Cubans see we respect their feelings and that their pain is STILL our pain and that we will only smile when THEY can smile. Man that is one powerful bonding sentiment. Anything else will just widen the chasm between las dos orillas.
and... do we REALLY want THAT?
When the day comes, my family and I are going to be as far away from the Orange Bowl as possible. We will quietly celebrate the hopeful "end of the beginning" and for the future of a truly free Cuba. We will say prayers simply asking "God's will be done," and others for those murdered, imprisoned, and scattered since 1959, then go on to do whatever little bit we can to break the devil's grip on Cuba once and for all.
Before I forget: Will also pray there will be a new mentality and attitude on the part of ALL Cubans everywhere so this nightmare will never again be repeated. Damn time for Cubans to stop reinventing the political wheel, more so when every time the wheel is reinvented, it is SQUARE.
Albert, as always, your words are words of wisdom. Never more, never again, never forget, are words that we all have tattooed on our souls. That's the only thing that will give us our future back.
