...along with "a Communist Party member who asked not to be named"--for comments on this curious article.
Why this article? That is the question.
They never covered Castro's political speeches and writings on world affairs when those speeches and writings were long, detailed and distinctly "dissident" as to the CIA's view of the world. Why did they decide to cover his "haikus" now?
It must puzzle these "Castro watchers" to have a world leader not uttering canned phrases in the "warspeak" of the 1%. For those kind of leaders, all they have to do is plug a few names and dates into the program, to produce endlessly uninformative, so-called 'news' articles. Imagine them in their hovel in Langley pouring over the elderly Castro's thoughts on the expanding universe or farming.
Lol!
How to "spin" it? What "talking point" to slip to Rotters, et al, in the back alleys of Washington DC? And--my original question--why?
Did you ever wonder why the CIA is so obsessed with Castro? They thought they had taken care of him with the exploding cigars and all, but he just keeps on keeping on. It could be that kind of obsession. They just can't stand it, that they can't kill him and can't shut him up and all of their efforts have gone for naught in Latin America where virtually everybody--right, left and center--recognizes Cuba's government as legitimate. Indeed, that is the opinion of the world in general. What is the CIA's problem?!
Now they're ridiculing him in his old age, when--let me tell you--thoughts of the macrocosm and the microcosm (the expanding universe and farming) definitely start occurring to people as this "mortal coil" slips away from us. What have we done with our tiny "paradise" in this mindbogglingly vast and apparently expanding cosmic space exploding with hundreds of billions of stars?
How to get Marriots onto those pristine beaches (the sort of thing the CIA aims at, on behalf of our transglobal rulers) seems monumentally petty and venal, as you get older (if you have any sensibility at all). Is it that "Castro"--as an idea--stands in the way of these petty, money-grubbing schemes--so they have to keep picking at him? Is this article a CIA facial tic?
