Castro finally croaked. Biggest party of the weekend is in Miami. After spending the past six months portraying Donald Trump as Son of the Devil, the LMS (Lying Media Scum) will now provide us with endless headlines and testimonials about what a “great revolutionary leader” Castro was.

UPDATE: It starts: The BBC calls Castro “a world icon” and “the most astute politician” of his time. Canada’s socialist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau calls his comrade Castro “a remarkable leader” and expresses “deep sorrow” over his death.

His health was bad enough for him to retire a while back. I am sorry that he had to go after spending life as a tyrant.

Akn interesting article posted on Makow's site, titled: Castro Profited from Communist Scam ; and found at: http://henrymakow.com/#sthash.twaUJLZi.dpuf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Extract:
Castro Profited from Communist Scam
November 26, 2016
. . . . . . .

Communism is a scam. The people work for peanuts in the name of "equality" and "social justice" while leaders like Castro are billionaires ( http://henrymakow.com/2015/05/castro-ex ... guard.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ) and live high on the hog. Sure, the people get free health care and indoctrination (education) but so what if you live in poverty in a police state?

According to Nathaniel Weyl, Ernesto Guevera and Fidel Castro were trained as Soviet agents. The "revolution" was largely funded and supplied by the Soviet Union. But they couldn't have succeeded without the complicity of the US, proof that the Cold War was an Illuminati charade. The Left's infatuation with Castro Communism is a symptom of mental retardation

Yes, the people are all equal -- dirt poor.

Updated from Feb 27,2009
by Henry Makow Ph.D.

I've been to Cuba on vacation. It's a country with a rich heritage and thriving economy that was frozen in time in 1959 when Castro took power with Soviet help.

Communism is so dysfunctional that even food is in limited supply. Generally, the food is what you'd expect in a submarine a month from port. Citizens also have no political rights.

Yes, the people are all equal -- dirt poor. Yes, they get free education and health care but education is indoctrination and people cannot toil for nothing if they are sick. Their MD's get $20 a month. The people are paid in platitudes.

Essentially, you have a prosperous island (oil, sugar, nickel, tobacco, coffee) with a large labor force that works for a pittance. All the wealth seems to flow to the Communist nomenklatura and their sponsors. Secret police are everywhere and no one can say a word against the regime.

When I asked a cab driver about the revolution, he immediately clammed up. Anyone who doesn't accept the Communist version of reality is subject to imprisonment.

Herberto Padillo, a poet who was tortured for "deviationism" said after his escape to the US: "I have lived in frightening laboratories for social experimentation, spaces walled by test tubes, where the same experiment always ended with the same result: tyranny. I have learned something of the value of freedom." ("And the Russians Stayed" Carbonell, p. 295)

JFK dropped the ball when he failed to invade Cuba during the Bay of Pigs. It's absurd that the US was "defending freedom" in Vietnam but did nothing to help an enslaved population of seven million people 90 miles from its shore. I doubt if the CIA seriously intended the Bay of Pigs invasion to succeed. While I find Communism repugnant, I support Obama's lifting of sanctions because this should help the average Cuban.

GUEVARA, CASTRO AND THE CUBAN REVOLUTION

Fidel Castro came to power in Cuba because of the covert help of New World orderlies in the US State Dept. and mass media. They cut off arm sales to Batista while at the same time supplying Castro, partly by Russian submarines. This told the Cuban military which way the wind was blowing and they quietly defected.

This is the conclusion of Nataniel Weyl in "Red Star Over Cuba" (1962, p.152.) Weyl was a Communist in the 1930's and knew the top leaders of the Cuban Communist Party. He actually worked for the central bankers at one time, as Latin American research chief for the Federal Reserve System. He is one of many Jews who recognized Communism as a dangerous satanic ruse and devoted his life to exposing Comintern subversion in Latin America ( http://henrymakow.com/160303.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ).

Weyl says that both Ernesto Guevera and Fidel Castro were trained as Soviet agents as teenagers. Guevara, an Argentine, was liaison between the Soviet espionage network and the Castro forces who masqueraded as an indigenous force. In fact, they were largely bankrolled and supplied by the Soviet Union.

"Fidel's secret weapon was money---incredible millions of dollars, with which he bought "victories." He bought entire regiments from Batista's officers and, on one occasion, purchased for $650,000 cash an entire armoured train, with tanks, guns, ammunition, jeeps and 500 men." (p.141)

"The Cuban forces themselves never won a military victory," US Ambassador Earl Smith later testified. The basic reason for the defeat of Batista's army was that covert US intervention shattered their morale.(152) . . . . . . . . . .

Rothschild-dominated Freemasonry was probably also a factor. Communism is a Masonic order; both Castro and Guevara were Masons. Other Freemasons include Stalin, Trotsky, Lenin and most Presidents incl. Barack Obama. Obviously Castro was installed by the Masons. Freemasonry is big in Cuba: there is a 15- story Grand Lodge of Cuba HQ in Havana. A compass and square is on top of the globe.

According to Humberto Fantova's "Che! Hollywood's Favorite Tyrant" ( http://www.hfontova.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ), Guevara was complicit in the execution of 10,000 Cubans after the revolution: He was "a bloodthirsty executioner, a military bumbler, a coward, and a hypocrite...it's no exaggeration to state that Che... was the godfather of modern terrorism. And yet Che's followers naively swallow Castro's historical revisionism. They are classic "useful idiots." the name Stalin gave to foolish Westerners who parroted his lies..."

Nat Hentoff ( http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/hentoff021306.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ) met Che at the United Nations and asked "this idealist" -- "Can you conceive -- however far into the future -- a time when there will be free elections in Cuba?"

"Not waiting for his interpreter, Guevara broke into laughter at my naively ignorant question. He made it clear that I had no understanding of a true people's revolution, firmly guided by Maximum Leader Castro."

How do we account for the CIA's Bay of Pigs invasion? This failure was probably designed to enhance Castro's image and reinforce the Hegelian dialectic. If the US could go to Vietnam "for the sake of democracy," it certainty could have invaded Cuba officially. The debacle opened the door for the missile crisis and the assassination of Kennedy, both part of the agenda.

How do we account for the CIA's killing of Guevara? He had served his purpose and was worth more dead than alive.


WHY THE MEDIA (AND EDUCATION) SOFT-PEDAL COMMUNISM (For New Readers)

Communists always portray their demented drive for world domination in terms of serving the people. Not surprisingly, many suckers swallow this bait. (I did.) But, why do these dupes include the US State Dept. and media establishment? The US government, media and most corporations are controlled by the central banking cartel, i.e. the Rothschilds, Warburgs, Rockefellers etc. These are the same people who sponsored Communism.

The guiding principle behind world events is their plan to translate their monopoly over government credit into a world monopoly of power, business, culture and religion.

These bankers use a Hegelian dialectic to achieve their end. They created both Capitalism and Communism as thesis and antithesis. Their aim is a synthesis, combining the political and cultural tyranny of Communism with the appearance of Capitalist free markets. China or even Cuba may be the end model for the New World Order.

In 1953, Ford Foundation President, H. Rowan Gaither told Congressional Investigator Norman Dodd that his instructions were to use "our grant-making power so to alter our life in the United States that we can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union."

This is why the Communist Party term "political correctness" has become part of our lexicon. Why the elite media and foundations promote feminism, homosexuality, pornography and promiscuity to destabilize society. Why they sponsor "diversity" to undermine American identity. Why the education system is devoted to Leftist indoctrination; and conservatives have been driven out. Why the culture industries are dedicated to sex, violence, alienation, deviance and the occult. We'll never know what we have missed in terms of cultural works that boost our sense of who we are and where we should be going. . . . . . . .

Rupert Murdoch, whose media operations are subsidized by the Rothschilds, said last week, "We are in the midst of a phase of history in which nations will be redefined and their futures fundamentally altered."

First Comment from Marcos:

Excellent article.

The celebration of Cuba as a fashionable place with visits from Obama, the Pope and the Rolling Stones in a short period of time is too much of a coincidence to be by chance. It is proof that Cuba's usefulness as a boogeyman is over. . . . . . . .

Marxism's role is to destroy traditional values and individual freedoms. Now that the work has been done in Latin America, it is time to transcend over to a "benevolent" new world order semi-dictatorship, with capitalism for the elite and social marxism for the poor, much like China. Move over Castro, here comes a Cuban Trudeau.

The original post and the title of this thread can be brutally honest about the horror of Castro's reign in Cuba and his immediate prospects in the spirit world without demanding that we hate the dictator or that we shouldn't pray for him. Honesty and prayer are not mutually exclusive.

"Former U.S. Ambassador to Cuba, Earl E.T. Smith stated in a letter published in the New York Times in 1970" :
"To the contrary, Castro could not have seized power in Cuba without the aid of the United States. American Government agencies and the United States press played a major role in bringing Castro to power... As the U.S. Ambassador to Cuba during the Castro-Communist revolution of 1957-59, I had first-hand knowledge of the facts which brought about the rise of Fidel Castro. ...The State Department consistently intervened - positively, negatively, and by innuendo - to bring about the downfall of President Fulgencio Batista, thereby making it possible for Fidel Castro to take over the Government of Cuba."

The Cuban people believed their revolution would bring about democracy in their country, but Fidel had different ideas in mind. He usurped the revolution to instill himself as a dictator then imprisoned or executed those who opposed him.

I am sure that a lot of people are celebrating right now, but I am sorry that he died in his sins. I hope he comes to accept the truth and soon begins the repentance process, and I hope that those who suffered because of him will be able to forgive him.

I doubt if he will ever repent, even in the afterlife. Or especially in the afterlife.
Repentance is too difficult for some, and I think he is one of them. Totally unrepentant. The question sometimes arises, if it was difficult for someone to repent in this life, will they repent after mortality? It is thought to be far more difficult.
People frequently talk about how prisons should change prisoners from their evil ways in one way or another. But it's an impossibility, unless the prisoner wants to change his ways, his heart, and if he does, you can't stop him.
So I'm sure that this dictators plan for the afterlife is to happily go about the same sins he committed here. If he is able.

The OP is right on the money. There surely is a special place in hell for the likes of Fidel and his cohorts.

I remember listening to a cassette recording (you youngsters can google "cassette tape" and see what I am referencing) given by a man who lived in Cuba as an elementary aged child. He eventually escaped to America with part of his family.

He told of part of his education in elementary school. Each day for a week or two, his class was told to pray to God for ice cream. Each day when no ice cream appeared, the teacher made a point to remind each child of how God had failed the children. On the Friday of the second week, the children were instructed to pray to Fidel for ice cream. After this "prayer", ice cream was brought in and given to the children, as much as they wanted. The obvious point was to "teach" the children the source of their welfare. This kind of indoctrination was common and widespread in the Castro's worker paradise.

And this is the same type of sickness that the buffoon in the White House wants for your children, here and now, as does that beast that lost the election. And yet people who still believe that God is not the government either vote for such a beast or for candidates that can only take votes away from the only alternative.

Haven't we been taught the success rate of missionary work in the spirit world is over 90%?

We have all heard of one's life flashing before their eyes as they face death. I have heard from multiple people that, when they had a near death experience, they not only saw everything that they had experienced in life but they also felt all the feelings associated with each of those experiences. But they also felt what those around them felt. They felt the joys and pains their experiences had caused others.

Fidel experienced all of the suffering he caused others, and all of the pain he caused. Unless he is such a cold and wicked person that he takes pleasure in causing pain, he is suffering right now because of the pain he caused. The ability to escape that pain through repentance would make him very open to missionary work. We have been taught that it is much more difficult to repent in the spirit world, but it is not impossible.

as these type of leaders get older, i wonder what must be going through their mind.
i wonder if they understand what is in store for them on the other side? or maybe they console their
worries by convincing themselves G_d does not exist.
but that kind of goes against what's been revealed about hillary.. in that she can never say the name 'Jesus Christ'
joel skousen seems to believe many(if not all) globalists/communists have a pact with the adversary.
upon death, they will avoid justice and will rule within the adversary's kingdom.
or maybe rule along with cain. who knows.. just another bit of politco-spiritual-porn

Well, you may know I've only been a church member for 1 1/2 years. So I'm not fully taught, in fact still here to learn.
Missionary work success. Could be, I have not seen that as yet.
Near death.
I ride a motorcycle, in Los Angeles. I have NDE's on a regular basis. I don't even get any adrenaline out of them, let alone repentance.
I think you have hit it in your last sentence, and that is what I was taught.
That it's not impossible, which I think I indicated, but that it is more difficult. More difficult than what? Than repenting in this world, which he did not do. So it's more difficult and not at all likely.

right... how much 'fun' are these 70+ year olds having down there at epstein's island ?
sure they are blitzed beyond belief on a mountain sized pile of narcotics. they have all the lusts of the flush
at their command, but yet something in the back of their mind has to be killing their buzz.
something like, 'yeah this is great, but the day of true justice is near, and i will have to pay'

then you have this guy heffner, who is essentially a vegetable these days.. this guy
is sitting at his table all alone.. when i say alone, the guy is around nothing but vipers waiting for him
to sleep and never wake.. anyway this guy sits alone, gumming his morning bread.. and he has to be thinking,
all the women, all the money, all the drugs, all the fame, etc, etc.. and i have nothing.
the guy literally lives in a bacteria, std infested mansion, that upon his death, the place will be condemned and demolished.

do physcological classifications even apply on the other side ?

maybe he had good intentions at first.. but once he gained power, became drunk on it, and never turned back.

so it was this cross-roads decision that all his adult/leader life actions may be judged.

he had a chance to use his newly gained power for good, but instead used it for other purposes.

He more than probably has now the first hand experience and proof that atheists are not as certain as they think they are.

I would just add that the only leader that called Fidel by name (a brutal dictator) and not as a "historical revolutionary" was Donald Trump.

13 ¶But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than he was before, like unto yourselves.
People tend to gravitate towards whats Easier to do. Scorn, judge and so on. Instead of lift and love.

There is a better way to be and you know it. A higher law to live. A eye for a eye is in the scriptures but we all know that we are supposed to be better then that. Will we choose to??? Most wont.
