another Castro is dead rumor |
|
persons on another message board I am on, posted that an ICE (immigration agent) told their staff that Castro is dead, and that it will hit the news soon.
I am sure that this rumor has been floated many times, but it may be a reality. What will Cuba be like post Castro? How will the mis-administration and his brother Jeb react to this new reality even if it isn't here yet, the time can't be far away
just thought I would throw this rumor back out on the net.

1. That rumor has been cropping up ever since the guy had intestinal surgery. |
|
I'll believe he's dead when the Cuban gov't says he's dead.
As for how things will change on the island, I doubt they'll change much at all.

4. it seemed interesting to me... |
|
that the person who posted a message works at an immigration detention facilty and they were trying to identify cuban nationals who were being held there to prepare for any unrest that might occur after the news was made public
It may be just a rumor, but just thought I would pass this one along, because the source was from inside our immigration department but is hardly official

2. I figure a predatory attempt to own Cuba (and Haiti) will be |

attempted - it involves a corporate takeover. Perfect for low salaries, low costs, total ownership up close - not way off in the Pacific or way down in Central America. And it will be presented as some humanitarian breakthrough with all the hard agenda masked.

3. If Castro's dead, there's the proverbial horns of a dilemma for Bushco: |
|
A) Go ahead and bomb Iran, or B) Take a 20 miles boat ride and reclaim Cuba as American property?
Unless he figures, hell, why can't I have both?

I hear that local news in Miami, is saying the rumors are flying and they are trying to keep folks out of the streets so folks can get home and the news won't crash into rush hour!

7. I'm listening to Miami's Channel 7. They are saying at this point it |
|
is only a rumor and waiting to confirm. I agree they are waiting until Friday night rush hour, traffic on I95, etc. is slowed down. I think the rumor is true, this is a very reliable news station and would not have mentioned if their sources weren't good ones.
