And in today's news......one of the Menendez brothers.....er, Castro brothers....reminds that he is no friend to capitalism.
(So sorry to confuse Lyle and Erik with the infamous Raul and Fidel......}
1. "HAVANA (AP) -- President Raul Castro issued a stern warning to entrepreneurs pushing the boundaries of Cuba's economic reform,....
2. ....has issued tighter regulations on businesses seen as going too far or competing excessively with state enterprises.
3. .....the government has banned the resale of imported hardware and clothing and cracked down on unlicensed private videogame and movie salons.
4. Castro threw his full weight behind such measures in an address to the biannual meeting of the communist legislature, saying "every step we take must be accompanied by the establishment of a sense of order."
5. "Inadequate controls by government institutions in the face of illegal activities by private businesspeople weren't resolved in a timely fashion, creating an environment of impunity and stimulating the accelerated growth of activities that were never authorized for certain occupations," ....
6. ....will never give in to demands for changes to Cuba's government and economy,...."
News from The Associated Press
And then there's this:
a. "...black human rights activist Orlando Zapata-Tamayo died after an 83-day hunger strike and a series of savage beatings by his Castroite jailers/torturers."

2. Having seized power on January 1, 1959, Fidel Castro, following the tradition of Vladimir Lenin, turned his nation into a huge slave camp. Half a million human beings have passed through Castros gulags. Since Cubas population is only around eleven million, that gives Castros despotism the highest political incarceration rate, per capita, on earth.
a. Firing squads have carried out more than fifteen thousand executions.
b. The Castro regime's barbarity is best epitomized by the Camilo Cienfuegos plan, the program of horrors followed in the forced-labor camp on the Isle of Pines. Forced to work almost naked, prisoners were made to cut grass with their teeth and to sit in latrine trenches for long periods of time.

And....the official imprimatur:
