    • Holy crap. What the hell is happening to the world?

      Real heroes are called "Mercenaries" and "Mass Murderes" like "Che", become martyrs!!!!

      Jorge Luis Garcia "Antunez,", a "prisoner of conscience" just got out of prison, after serving 20 years. His crime, not agreeing with the Castro Regimen.

      Cuba's jail are full of free thinkers, mostly Afro-Cubans.
