Fidel Castro’s death at ninety years of age has provoked responses throughout the globe. The United States angle that he was universally unloved is complete propaganda.
Whistleblower Edward Snowden
Terrorist Luis Posada Carriles
Edward Snowden, who recently disclosed the massive nature of NSA spying on not only Americans but on every single person in the world who uses electronic communications of any kind, is currently a fugitive from “justice” in the United States. Although [Edward Snowden] is currently in a Russian airport, he has been offered political asylum by Venezuela, as well as by Nicaragua and Bolivia.
Although Snowden isn’t yet in Venezuela, the U.S. government has already requested his extradition from that country. The irony of this request abounds. For eight years now, since June 15, 2005, the U.S. has refused to extradite a notorious terrorist to Venezuela. Luis Posada Carriles is wanted in Venezuela on 73 counts of murder for masterminding the 1976 midair bombing of a Cubana airliner (the flight originated in Venezuela, and the bombing was planned there, which is why that country is involved). Posada was also responsible for a string of Cuban hotel bombings in 1997 which killed Italian tourist Fabio di Celmo, and was jailed for four years in Panama (2000-2004) for an attempt to bomb an auditorium in which Fidel Castro was speaking to university students. This is the man the U.S. Government continues to allow to walk the streets of Miami a free man, while they ask for the extradition of a man whose crime was to expose their own illegal actions.
Acclaimed Mexican author and thinker had visas denied and was tracked when he did visit US, newly public files reveal.
Carlos Fuentes, who died in 2012, was denied visas in the 1960s because US authorities regarded him as a communistsubversive.
The FBI and US state department closely monitored the Mexican author Carlos Fuentes for more than two decades because he was considered a communist and a sympathiser of Cuba’s Fidel Castro, recently released documents show.
The documents posted on the FBI’s website show the US denied Fuentes an entry visa at least twice in the 1960s. In one of the memoranda Fuentes is described as “a leading Mexican communist writer” and a “well-known Mexican novelist with long history of subversive connections”.
Fuentes died in 2012 at age 83 after suffering an internal haemorrhage.
