To Cubans like Humberto Fontova, this is old news, but continuing to shine light on it is important for the useful idiots who aren’t completely braindead. At some point maybe something will penetrate the brainwashing for some. From Frontpage Magazine - Humberto Fontova’s article “Cuba’s Healthcare Horror”-excerpted below:
Word is getting out about the disastrous state of Cuban health care.
During that cold snap in mid-January, Cuban dissidents snuck out, via internet, a report claiming that over forty patients had somehow frozen to death in Cuba’s Mazorra mental hospital — not far from the one featured in Michael Moore’s paean to Cuban health care, Sicko. Cuba’s Stalinist regime, along with the media courtesans to whom it grants press bureaus and “journalist visas,†were utterly mum on the matter, however. It took three days — as the word spread through the mostly Spanish-language web –but finally the Stalinist regime issued a terse and exculpatory press-release on the matter.
But the story did not go away. Just last week, pictures of some of the dead were snuck out of Cuba. They proved that hypothermia alone was not the cause of death, any more than it was the cause of the death for the prisoners at Dachau or Buchenwald. Horrific malnutrition and savage beatings were plain to see for anyone genuinely interested in the causes.
Needless to add, such interested parties do not include Castro’s favored members of the press. True to form, they dutifully connived with the regime, as they have for half a century, to hide the catalog of Castroite horrors.
But don’t take my word for it. Apparently tormented by their consciences, two Spanish journalists have just released mea-culpa- books (sadly available only in Spanish) about this collusion. “Self-censorship is a very common practice,†one writes. “No journalist on the island can write the truth of what happens there.†Whatever their faults, at least these Spanish journalists finally came clean. When will Barbara Walters, Dan Rather, Andrea Mitchell, Ted Turner, Herbert Matthews and the rest of the bunch come clean? Don’t hold your breath.
But…communist water carriers like Michael Moore wouldn’t dare admit these things go on in Castro’s Cuba–because it would ruin their hatred of America….and their ongoing destruction campaign, along with their call for socialized medicine.
Yet, examples of its failure all over the world are a stark reminder of the reasons why the democrats have had such difficulty passing their healthcare bill; Americans with brains in their heads don’t want it.
