Ms. Castro

Wow.

In her memoirs - Fidel and Raul, My Brothers, the Secret History - Ms Castro says she was recruited by the Central Intelligence Agency in Havana two years after the 1959 revolution brought Fidel Castro to power.

She agreed to help because she had become disenchanted when Fidel abandoned the nationalist democratic revolution he promised and instead imposed a one-party Marxist state “simply out of the need to hold power”, she said.

“Did I feel remorse about betraying Fidel by agreeing to meet with his enemies? No, for one simple reason: I didn’t betray him. He betrayed me,” she wrote.

“He betrayed the thousands of us who suffered and fought for the revolution that he had offered, one that was generous and just and would bring peace and democracy to Cuba, and which, as he himself had promised, would be as ‘Cuban as palm trees’,” she wrote.

1. Shocking that someone close to him would pen Fidel as a ruthless dictator, just as all of us “right wingers” have known for fifty years. This further exposes that the left has no desire but to usurp as much power as possible and hold it under an iron fist for as long as possible. To assume that the agenda pushed by Barack Obama is any different is naivete of the highest order. Especially when you consider how many of the people he surrounds himself with laud the accomplishments of Cuba.
