Wall Street Journal: By 2005 close to ten thousand names had been verified as victims killed by Fidel Castro's revolution. The number could be ten times higher. Many more have died trying to flee the dictatorship, fighting the regime, and as soldiers forced to participate in Fidel's revolutionary adventures abroad on behalf of the Soviets.
- In the aftermath of Fidel Castro's death, it is relevant to note how much American celebrities contributed to this mass murderer's success because he was a leftist, and celebrities never met a leftist cause they didn't like.
- Augusto Pinochet, Chile's military dictator, was vilified by celebrities and their fans because he was right wing, although his crimes never reached the level of those perpetrated by Fidel Castro.
- These days bashing Israel is the favorite, and often only cause for celebrities and their fans, although China occupies Tibet. China engages in extreme political oppression and the ongoing extraction of thousands of political prisoners' organs for the profitable China state industry of medical transplants (see more further down this page).
- When was the last time you heard celebrities or human rights activists boycotting and protesting against the government of China? Or against the Cuban regime's oppression of its people?
- Che Guevara, another mass murderer, is still an icon representing chic rebellion against authority.
- Fidel Castro hired Nazi SS members to train his troops.
- Fidel's fortune is estimated at $900 million
Art and celebrities are used by the elites to manipulate the masses, normalizing and mainstreaming certain political ideologies, as well as bad habits (smoking is still being promoted in films), and depraved lifestyles.
Whether celebrities represent glamour or faux-rebelliousness, they mesmerize the masses. They can influence the articles you purchase, the way you dress, how you vote in national elections, and even how you live your life.
They don't always earn money in proportion to their talent but in how well they manipulate the media to promote their popularity.
Celebrities are both puppets and manipulators. They, their work, and the elites are all part of the same web of deception.
As puppets celebrities themselves are manipulated and pressured to go along with liberal causes, lest they may be blacklisted. Countless artists who had agreed to perform in Israel have been forced to retract because of peer pressure to boycott Israel.
So called celebrities rise to prominence not always due to their intellectual abilities or education, but to their good looks, artistic work, or their bizarre lifestyles.
Celebrities preaching to the rest of us often cannot even manage their own lives with a minimum or self-control and decorum, engaging in substance addiction, promiscuity, and even outright depravity (idolized Michael Jackson was a well-known pedophile).
Fidel Castro's crimes - A summary
Summary by Professor Carlos Eire of Yale University, writing for the Washington Post - Read entire article further on this page.
●He turned Cuba into a colony of the Soviet Union and nearly caused a nuclear holocaust.
●He sponsored terrorism wherever he could and allied himself with many of the worst dictators on earth.
●He was responsible for so many thousands of executions and disappearances in Cuba that a precise number is hard to reckon.
●He brooked no dissent and built concentration camps and prisons at an unprecedented rate, filling them to capacity, incarcerating a higher percentage of his own people than most other modern dictators, including Stalin.
●He condoned and encouraged torture and extrajudicial killings.
●He forced nearly 20 percent of his people into exile, and prompted thousands to meet their deaths at sea, unseen and uncounted, while fleeing from him in crude vessels.
●He claimed all property for himself and his henchmen, strangled food production and impoverished the vast majority of his people.
●He outlawed private enterprise and labor unions, wiped out Cuba’s large middle class and turned Cubans into slaves of the state.
●He persecuted gay people and tried to eradicate religion.
●He censored all means of expression and communication.
●He established a fraudulent school system that provided indoctrination rather than education, and created a two-tier health-care system, with inferior medical care for the majority of Cubans and superior care for himself and his oligarchy, and then claimed that all his repressive measures were absolutely necessary to ensure the survival of these two ostensibly “free” social welfare projects.
●He turned Cuba into a labyrinth of ruins and established an apartheid society in which millions of foreign visitors enjoyed rights and privileges forbidden to his people.
●He never apologized for any of his crimes and never stood trial for them.
