One of
the most productive tools for a totalitarian type of government is to use
organized groups to assault and intimidate anybody who opposes government
ideology. The Castro regime is notorious for organizing terror groups like
this whenever any individual gets out of line, for example, if a person
opposes the regime vocally or if a person tries to organize some type of
anti-communist demonstration or publish in writing some type of periodical
or some type of art work. So undoubtedly, in Cuba there is no freedom of
speech, the Castro regime depends very much on these "Acto de Repudio" to
eliminate opposition but also to create mayhem within the citizens
themselves, just another tactic to control everybody. The Today Show will
be televising from Cuba tomorrow and I've decided to write this article
for today. You see I'm 100% sure that
this subject will not be covered and I'm very sure that many other
subjects will not be covered also. Why, you ask, because the Today Show will be
aired in Cuba and the Cuban authorities will dictate all
that will be showed to the public. This is very typical of US media when
traveling to Cuba, since they are subject to certain specific locations in the
island where they are entertained with misleading deception. I am really
outraged of all the news coverage from the US media and what they stand
for, they are a total disgrace to the reporting industry. The Cuban exiles
here in a America and around the world, after 48 years, still have to
prove to the world, that the Castro regime is a cynical system of
terrorism. That I have to actually sit down and type out an article with
factual evidence to prove to the world that
the perspectives and ideals given by the media representing this United
States of America, where I have resided for almost all my life, is a total
misconception of Cuba, the country where I was born. Yes, here I am,
trying to explain, well not explain but actually convince and prove
to the world, that "Acts of Repudiation" actually occur in Cuba. I
have to prove to the world that this Hollywood-style
absolute tyrant Fidel Castro and his drunkard henchman brother,
Raul , leader and organizer of these attacks on people expressing their
opinions, are what they are and have done what they have done, I need to
do this? That's preposterous, look at the picture on the left and this is
directed at the people here in America who still do not understand, this
animal Hugo Chavezis a close friend and
disciple of Fidel, he's the one who stood in front of the UN Assembly and
called George W. Bush, "our" present president, the Devil. Take a look at
the Acts of Repudiation that are occurring at the present time in
Venezuela. As you see in Venezuela and like it has been happening in Cuba
for almost a half a century, there are Acts of Repudiation, arranged on a
daily basis. In Cuba everyone and anyone is subject to this despicable
tactic. If you escape Cuba alone, your family will be
subject to this abuse and if you get caught, you will face the thugs, who
will rip your house apart and take all your personal belongings and of
course, break your head in the process. So lets see if they mention this
on the Today show or if Matt Lauer even asks the critical question about
Acto de Repudio, I wonder, but I doubt it and if Mr. Lauer,
by some miracle does, he will most definitely ask the wrong person.
Here are 2 well
documented attacks that have taken place:
One is very recent
and was mistakenly shown on CNN which is known by many as the "Castro
News Network". It was a verbal attack on "The Ladies in White",
internationally known as
Las
Damas de Blanco that
was intended to escalate but was avoided and never did develop.

The second is
another well documented story by Producer/Director Agustin Bazquez on
the true story of classic guitarist Carlos Molina and his family, who
were attacked in Cuba.

the acts of the government-incited mobs that attacked their home and
the resulting trauma they still feel today.The
