Castro's passing has likely been given more time than it deserves but for those who are not old enough to remember his rule, here's a quick history lesson about what the Cuban people remember.

 

"13 facts about Fidel Castro

Carlos Eire is a professor of history and religious studies at Yale University. Writing in the Washington Post, Prof. Eire presents 13 facts about Fidel Castro.

"Canadians to Build a Wall!!

This seems like more a satire than factual but great for a laugh.

 

"Canadians to Build a Wall!!

"News Update from Canada:

The flood of Trump-fearing American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past week. The Republican presidential campaign is prompting an exodus among left-leaning Americans who fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray, pay taxes, and live according to the Constitution.

Canadian border residents say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, liberal arts majors, global-warming activists, and "green" energy proponents crossing their fields at night.

"The Great Con: Political Correctness Has Marginalized The Working Class

"The Great Con: Political Correctness Has Marginalized The Working Class

"........The propaganda beauty of class-consciousness-destroying political correctness is its deceptive claim of "progressive." If you set out to design the perfect tool to enforced neofeudalism (the political and economic dominance of the protected few at the expense of the exploited many), you'd choose an Orwellian fake-Progressive agenda of cultural fragmentation and conflict that undermines any class consciousness of shared economic disempowerment.

This is why the protected technocrat/ managerial class is freaking out about Trump's victory: the inchoate sense that the few have profited at the expense of the many is an expression of an emergent class consciousness that has the potential to threaten the neofeudal dominance of the New Nobility and its self-serving technocrat/ managerial class.

So when the protected class of well-paid institutional "progressives" speak darkly of "reversing 40 years of social progress," what they're really saying is we're terrified that the bottom 95% might be waking up to our Great Con of identity politics and political correctness."

"The Take Down of George Soros Has Begun

Long article but really good read. You decide.

 

"The Take Down of George Soros Has Begun

....."Soros has also been directly involved in the attempted overthrow of Assad in Syria.  There are many reasons for this.  Syria is aligned with Russia, the enemy of Soros.  But Assad also represents a problem for business interest of both Soros and the Clintons, along with others in the American establishment.

The natural gas line which was meant to connect Qatar with Europe, traveling through Saudi Arabia, Syria and Turkey, is the major problem.  This gas pipeline has been invested in by the Clintons and others.  Assad, a friend of Russia and Putin, has refused to have it run through Syria.  Soros and the American establishment require to have this gas line in place to keep Europe from being drawn into the larger Eurasian Union.  The Eurasian Union is an important piece of the developing global governance framework, as is becoming more obvious......"
