Barba Cucaracha

UPDATE:
Let's update at the first line, for a change:
Apparently, there are indications in Cuba about an imminent announcement.
It can be a government launched rumor, but it can be true, too.
Let's see what happens from now to the end of the day!
Some of our people believe that there's an attempt by the government to do a dry run to see what they were facing when they have to do the announcement.
The situation on the street is the same as it has been for sometime now.
There are many rumors, but my most trusted sources are very cautious, they think that it was something directed to divert the attention, and calculate the move to make the announcement.
UPDATE:
All is calm down in Havana. No police massing, no troops on the street. Just another day of routine.
Still, we could confirm that there's an "alert" for the comites and the Party, which have been told to be "vigilant and ready".

We've been getting some reports from both Havana and Oriente about a "estado de alerta" in which the "organizaciones politicas y de masas" are being put since midweek. We are under the impression, even though we haven't been able to talk to anybody who has actually seen the body, that the end of the race for El Barba Cucaracha is really close, if he didn't cross the finish line into Hell already.
We advise the Cuban people to be cautious, since the regime could be doing a dry run -creating false expectations- to be able to bag people at this time. Again, we have been told that when the time comes the announcement will be read "by surprise" in the radio, and at the same time the workers will be ordered onto buses or trucks to go to "the revolution square" for the viewing of a portrait and to sign a condolence book. That cannot be done during a weekend, obviously.
We will update this post as long as we have more information, but the announcement will have to wait till the official press release it out.
A rey muerto, raul puesto....

If this happens, I'll change the cover tune I'm working on to "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead" (I won't, son't worry).

Puede ser una bola, aun no tengo ninguna confirmacion de Cuba... but one needs to be alert.
Especially, our families, friends, and sources in Cuba should be very alert.

Barba Cucaracha

do keeps us posted about developments in Cuba and off course Fidel Castro.
