“Everyone knows
that the Cubans control (Venezuela’s) military intelligence and police
intelligence. They control the coordination of the armed forces. Such
convictions are held by critics in both countries (Venezuela and Cuba) although
they offer little hard evidence to back their suspicions.” (Victoria Burnett
and William Neuman, the New York Times, March, 2014.)
“Fidel Castro has strong ideas
of liberty, democracy, social justice, the need to restore the
Constitution….but it amounts to a new deal for Cuba, radical, democratic, and
therefore anti-ommunist.” (Herbert
Matthews, the New York Times, February 1957.)
“This is not a Communist Revolution in any sense of the term. Fidel Castro
is not only not a Communist, he is decidedly anti-Communist.” (Herbert Matthews, the New York Times, July 1959.)
So according
to the New York Times, the only Cubans in Venezuela today function as
Marcus Welbys and Florence Nightingales. And the only communists in Cuba in
1959 were kept far from positions of influence by those stalwart defenders of
liberty: the Castro Brothers and Che Guevera.
Same as in 1959, many well-informed people much closer to the issue
differ with the New York Times.......To Read More......
