Fidel Castro Speaks to the Americas in English Part 1

[eddiemperor]

Where can i find the Entire Speech? Without the English Subtitiles? Thank you soo much for uploading this, this isso Inspirational.

[IceyPancho]

@eddiemperor Look up Fidel Castro en Argentina 2003. It should pop up. there's a couple of different versions of it, but their spliced up into 16-20 vids. One guy even provides a link where you can download the whole thing. It's 2.5 hours long.

[eddiemperor]

@IceyPancho Thank you Hermano!!

[leomend92]

wow he is crazier than ever

[chaz3345]

i dont hear him speaking english

[gameslammer666]

Man, I'm going to be sad when Castro dies :(

[leomend92]

@gameslammer666 you should actually be happy when that happens,he wins people over by using pretty words,but we in cuba have been in the same corrupted bullshit thanks to him,and thanks to the fact that i live in US im able to post a comment on the internet since that son of a bitch wont let us do so in cuba

[Vash2Red]

This guy stands against opressors, but he oppreses people, Great speaker but lacks the ability to act on what he says he does.

[SSJKid97]

Let's just hope Castro KILLS SOME ZOMBIE PUTAS!!!

[diomedes39]

@SSJKid97 oh you know he will, and with much gusto.

[alantos27]

fidel castroo is a great man.....God has a special place for him, people don't get brainwashed by the mainstream media, He stood for justice and fought for it..viva fidel

[fshjshshhs]

@alantos27

he fought for justice? LOL. Obviously you don't live in Cuba because Cubans aren't allowed to use the internet.

[venezuelans]

@alantos27 hahaha nothing more stupid.

[00453400]

hhahaha wake up, fidel is the only one with dignity and he is the moral of the world. Yes there is problems in cuba, but with blockade in 60 years, sho would hav survived.? no one. USA act as God an try to control. either you follow there system otherwise your are are dictator! the truth is that every country have its right to do it in there own way and the wishes of its people.- Cuba and fidel is an example of that.- and I am not a communist or cuban, but never forget that fiedel is tru leader

[fshjshshhs]

The people claiming that Fidel is anti-imperialist are stupid. The primary currency in Cuba now is pegged to the US dollar. What this means is that fluctuations in the US economy have the same (if not greater) effects in Cuba. So guess what, the Cuban economy is now fully dependent on the success of the US economy. So much for self-determination.

[IceyPancho]

@fshjshshhs This is an example of why I made this video. Fidel discusses currency and economics. They use two currencies in Cuba. Listening to what he actually says or wrote about these topics will help someone develop a better informed perspective than only receiving or subjecting him or herself to ridiculous statements such as this one that imply that Cuba has somehow sacrificed its sovereignty over its currency.

[deceiver123m]

does anyone know where i can get this same video but without Fidel dubbed in English.. i want to hear the one thats just in spanish.

[bishop102]

¡Viva Fidel!

[carizmendi2]

Thank you Fidel Castro for telling us the true! I do not support youy goverment but I think you are right this time, the media will not reveal us the true but you did it.

Viva Cuba Revolucionaria! Viva Fidel!

[gusto1978]

fidel the living Leyend! VIVA FIDEL!

[manny262478]

fuck you mother fucker. i am hondurean we hate you .. fuckiing castro. y me cago en la resingada magre o mejor dicho perra del la persona que este de acuuerdo con lo que este hijo de puta creo en una cuba linda bella destruida por el socialismo comunista... despierten sigados que todo es muela muela muela .. que ahora sus primas primos tios tias sobrinos nietos estan sufriendo por esa muela estupida extraña y aparente mente realista sufren por su alnafebetismo general creo esto, die mtf

[DonJuan071991]

Liar, accusing others of being fascist, etc. He's the main reason why Cuba is going all the way down the toilet. Anyone who doesn't agree with his ways is tortured and taken away from society, that's his strategy to keep his dictatorship running and the world blind folded.

[deceiver123m]

@DonJuan071991 people world wide support his dictatorship because it was attacked by other imperialist nations worldwide from the beggining of Castro's government. The banking families world wide set out to destroy castro and destroy cuba. They did what they set out to do and now cuba is in ruins. Therefore if a person opposes the banking families and their economic empires then that person will likely support Castro's regime- regardless of how tyrannical it was forced to become to defend itself

[angele1966007]

assassin, not even because you are in bed with an artificial anus, you don't stop torturing the Cuban People, You hijacked power 50 years ago, and have being drunk with your power, you are imposing your retrograde ideas on your own people, do like Nelson Mnadela if you want to be a real leader

[bishop102]

@angele1966007 Nelson Mendela never had the imperialist Yankees 60 miles off their coast. Your point of few skewed, I've been to Miami, I've heard the radios, TV's, the propaganda. . Any suppression of the Cuban people is a result of American intervention. When the most powerful nation is in close proximity and constantly trying to overthrow, and destabilize your country you have no choice put to remain in a constant state of Marshall law. Go suck Hugo Chavez's dick you fucking faggot.

[gusto1978]

Praise Fidel he is a living legend not many of these left in the world these days well Obama is a bit like Fidel in knowledge but different times call for different measures fidel es el Caballo por su Palabra.

[2012mothafucka]

Fidel Castro is a great man, who have done great things for his people. May his memory and legend go on even after his death. As Che Guevara!

[elektra1968]

Even when his time comes and Fidel dies.. He will be inmortal..!!!!

[CaptainOfCuba]

@elektra1968

His legacy will go on. And hopefully America can be Socialist aswell.

[fshjshshhs]

@elektra1968

he'll go the same way as Franco in Spain. Viewed as a brown spot on the history of a nation.

[elektra1968]

@fshjshshhs Ha ha ha ha ha ha.........ur funnyyyyyyy thanx for the laugh..... bless you

[luciferiexcelsil]

@fshjshshhs Franco you say? that is a much more different thing than Castro.

[fshjshshhs]

@luciferiexcelsil

not really. Both were (in Castro's case is) crazy dictators that squashed all opposition with physical force and brainwashed their respective populations into thinking that they were great saviors. It worked, Franco is still popular in much of Spain despite the fact that the Spanish government has rewritten its history books to condemn him- hopefully an elected Cuban government will do the same to Castro's reign of terror in the future.

[tullyDT]

@fshjshshhs the only tyranny and suffering taking place in Cuba are the ones being inflicted the 60 year blockade. I've been to Cuba the place isn't perfect, but it's far better than other places I've been to like rural China. Why dont you travel the world a bit and develop your own opinion rather then regurgitating propaganda spouted by fox news

[fshjshshhs]

@tullyDT

I am Cuban and I still have relatives that live in that shithole. My family needs to send them money in order for them to maintain a basic standard of living. Cuba is a tyrannical state because human rights are stifled, there are no fair elections, and the government controls everything. You obviously never made it to rural Cuba, where 75% of tillable land is out of production due to the massive failures of Castro's government. Get a clue.

[tullyDT]

@fshjshshhs Tengo una pista muy buena Estaba allí por uces par de meses. Visité las zonas urbanas y rurales, amigos hechos con algunos de los locals, y tiempo gastado en sus hogares, Experimenté algunas malas cosas como la detención por los polis corruptos que intentaban conseguir un soborno, pero nada como los horrores que usted demanda existe allí

[tullyDT]

Usted envía tan el hogar a su familia, la mayoría del dinero de la gente que emigra de los países del tercer mundo hace iguales, destaca solamente la pobreza como síntoma del bloqueo.

una cosa que encuentro que extraño es que usted elegiría huir a partir de una mitad país del mundo a otra para apoyar a su familia

Ése es todo lo que tengo que decir que usted puede contestar si usted quiere pero no escucho

[malscott]

ok i make mistake i see on a different video Castro IS speaking english to reporters

[malscott]

as far as i have seen and heard Fidel has NEVER spoken english

[malscott]

hey!! whoever posted this Fidel is not speaking english as the title of the video suggests!!

[robertemmet04]

I LOVE CUBA IRELAND LOVES FIDEL

[imaxjx]

robertemmet04 tell the families of el remorcado 13 de Marzo that, Pedro Luis Boitel and many other dissidents. Thousands lost their live en el estrecho de la florida through out the years sice 1959.Tell the families around Cuba what you think. They don't care what you think because they know....

Long live a free Cuba!

[wblakews]

u gusanoes will be the end of capitalism, of course youwill steer it too gangsterism ala batista.

yeh, i am better, lots better

[Osazeone]

Castro and The Cuban People Stud Up "Had a Backbone" to stand against U.S. bullyismmm and Military. The People United will NEVER be Divided..

[balsero1]

viejo de mierda, hablando mierda, querian otra cosa?

[ilmhams]

fuck him and everyone who defend him.

[DinglieDonglie]

Go back to watching CNN, ilmhams. It's obviously educating you better than anything the internet has to offer.

[ilmhams]

i was born in cuba. castro he's a criminal. humans right abuser. fuck him. how you like that.

[CCGAnubys]

hey i was born in cuba as well ive been in america for 4 years

[tristanXIV]

So it's the Chinese government but no one says a word about it, instead the West gave them the Olympics last year. hypocrisy??

[ElectricPineapple79]

and fuck your momma!

[ilmhams]

abajo el comunismo. yo me cago en la madre de todos loscomunistas. asquerosos. puerto rico y cuba. juntos hasta el final. cuando castro se caiga.

[wblakews]

USA HAS CAUGHT GUSANOS

[Tropicoco123]

@wblakews Recuerdate que los gusanos nacen en Cuba y no en Miami. Y Cuba es la cuna de la gusanera, lo que nadie lo dice por temor a ser aplastado. Y en Estados Unidos el gusano es mariposa. Preguntale a un Cubano en Cuba BIEN informado si no le gustaria viajar 90 millas al norte.

[nnamdieze87]

america is crazy. After they fought and revolted against the british. They became imperialists, They learn't this startegy from the brits

[SuperBlammo]

America is pura Vida. Norte americanos eres ladrones, imperialists, y idiotas

[americanusa2009]

i dont even know the shit he talking about ..lol

[libanlibanliban]

Viva Castro!!! Viva resistancia

[loko5555]

bullshit of a worm

[Luixote]

Yis are the ignorant worms... go back to bed!

[ernestoniebla]

El brillante hombre dice que en EEUU hay millones de analfabetos completos y decenas de millones de analfabetos funcionales, este hombre es un comediante pero es un discurso bonito sin lugar a duda

[tommysch]

I say we send special forces in cuba to steal the cigar rolling children and then we carpet bomb the place.

[samsonlovesyou]

Which cigar rolling children? Reference please.

[hotchoccolate23]

viva brother castro!

[cuban1959]

Forget about Castro's international vision (which is to hate the US). Please focus on what he has done to us Cubans: 50 years of military Communist dictatorship, no human rights and a destroyed economy. This is the same rhetoric that he has used to support his very wrong ideas. However, there is always a public for these views. Most of them know nothing about Communism but enjoying democracy can follow Castro if they wish. We will bury this man soon along with the Dictatorship. Free Cuba!!!!

[IceyPancho]

There is always a public for these views because he says interesting things that are truthful. Regarding human rights, I'm sure that you know that the only people who practice torture in Cuba are Americans at Guantanamo Bay. Fidel Castro is not the man who prevents Cubans from having self-determination, he is an expression of the self-determination of Cubans. It is the Anglo-saxon hegemonists who work to prevent the self-determination of not just Cubans, but of the entire continent.

[aljawadn]

Very true!

[fshjshshhs]

@IceyPanch

uh, wrong. Tortrue is widely practiced in Cuban jails. There is so much evidence for torture that denying it is stupid.

[fshjshshhs]

@IceyPancho

wow, that was the most retarded statement I've ever read. You wrote: "Fidel is an expression of the self-determination of Cubans." Really? Has he held a vote to determine that? If you aren't Cuban, which I'm guessing you're not, you're the biggest hypocrite alive. How do you know how Cubans feel? I can tell you with certanity that he does not represent the views of ANY of my relatives that are forced to live under his tyranny. Stop justifying dictatorship- you'll fail.

[IceyPancho]

@fshjshshhs I'm an American citizen. My views and perspective are based on what I can reasonably ascertain. The Cubans have an electoral system. Its not similar to ours. I'm sure it has its advantages and disadvantages, just like ours. This is a man that was drawing a million people into the streets way back in 1959. Do you think he defeated Batista by himself , or did he represent the will of the people in that instant and subsequently betrayed it?

[IceyPancho]

@fshjshshhs If we were to base what we can reasonably ascertain, conjecture, or know, on whether we personally knew someone who lived in a country, we'd all be very ignorant. Do I need to personally know someone in Cuba to know that Fidel socialized medicine in Cuba and that Cuban doctors save lives all over the world, or that the U.S. maintains an economic blockade against Cuba that is a violation of international law, or that Fidel Casto was a central figure in the missile crises of 1961, etc?

[hotchoccolate23]

1) best health care in the world (international critics)

2)98% literacy rate

3)No one is homless - thats rite thats 100 accurate

4)all is for the people not private executives?business

5) US blockade , econmoic terrorism n muderous acts by US on cuba

6) taking over of guantanomo of US

DESPITE ALL AMERIKKKA HAS DONE TO IT , 600 ASSASINATION ATEMPTS , ECO BLOCAKDE GLOBALLY , WHO THE FUK WUD STEP DOWN FROM POWER , SO AMERIKKANS CAN CIA CUBA N BREAK IT FROM WITHIN ? FUK THAT

VIVA LA REVOLUTION!

[ernestoniebla]

1) best healthcare in the world? no it's not (cuban critics)

2) 98% literacy rate? that's truth, so cuban can read whatever he writes.

3) No homeless. that's a complete lie, there is homeless like in any other country.

4) I just laugh

5) US blockade? US embargo that doesn't work at all, only works on his favor (victim position)

6) Guantanamo? tha's something to be resolve by the US government and it citizens , out of my competition

[hotchoccolate23]

LMAO uve never been to cuba , u dont know , first hand experience gives the truth unlike ur US propoganda

im not sayin its heaven m gd n bad everywher em but u have betta chance being black n poor n cuba than beign black n poor n america , its a more just system ,

[ernestoniebla]

well, I'm cuban so I don't know (and I don't want) what more experience should I get.

R U black and poor? if not don't say anything, if yes then why don't you just pack your things and go to live over there.

it's a more just system in theory but believe me when I say it's not as just as they (the government) say it is.

It's a 50 years dictatorship, and that my friend is wrong, is bad, is against every right, it's madness. Good luck

[hotchoccolate23]

lol , u gotta look at this more maturely , in state of all war an invasion , europe n america rules that r jus like dictatorship dont they? for quick mobility of defense , cuba has been under state of economic blocade n terorism by US , bay of pigs , n even 600 plus assaination attmepts of Castro , wud wud u do ? get destroyed n fuck everything the revolution brought? ur too close minded my friend , u have to analyse it fairly instead of simply stating poorly backed up facts ,

[ernestoniebla]

once again, I'm cuban, you don't have to convince me, I'm already convinced... yes, fuck the so call 'revolution" I'd call it dictatorship. And once again, I'm not saying the world is a paradise and Cuba is a hell hole, I'm just saying there is a lot of things under the table that make us cubans suffer. I don't understand why people around the world support Fidel (government) over the people. It's suppose to be people for the people, always against or at least questioning the gov.

[IceyPancho]

We don't support Fidel over the people of Cuba, an example is the blockade. A majority of Americans are against it. It is universally opposed in Cuba, even by dissidents. Anti-Castro people who support the blockade place themselves in an acute contradiction when they claim to speak on behalf of the Cuban people, while failing to show solidarity with the Cuban people on this most vital of issues. There's no reason for Americans to hate Castro. This video aims to introduce him and undemonize him.

[loko5555]

@IceyPancho well really? then democracy isnt working in usa? i mean if the mahority are against the blockade...

[loko5555]

@IceyPancho @IceyPancho well really? then democracy isnt working in usa? i mean if the majority are against the blockade...

[ReyCanario11]

@ernestoniebla People around the world support Fidel becaus they never live in Cuba and they see this romantic revolutionary person that fight against U.S. It is typical of younger naive youth to glorify Fidel. In my Spain, I see friends that say-"I'm going to Cuba, I'm very excite to go." Alot come back and say "Bad food, sad, no provisions available outside of hoteles" To have them understand, you send them away from their world of computars and videogames to live like true Cuban in Cuba.

[RaptorN1]

@ernestoniebla Then your not Cuban, because Fidel Castro is Cuba. You know once I thought just like you then I saw other countries. Countries sold out to Americans and Europeans where they say you have the right to Vote but a President has no power and If the majority votes a Socialist he/she will be overthrown. And what freedom do you have in those countries? U might buy the newest Nike shoes because u can, but this is where freedom ends and not where it begins!

[sarzamineiran]

@ernestoniebla

I visited Cuba a few weeks ago. I can tell you the people live far better lives than you imperialist scum in America. Go fuck your self.

[kukycuen]

@sarzamineiran VIVA! thanks

[juniortr5864]

@ernestoniebla - si no te gusta fidel,echale la culpa a todos los extranjeros

pseudocubanos(nacidos en cuba de padres extranjeros) y otros como tu

que tenian a cuba estrangulada,por eso fidel esta donde esta,por el abuso que

sufria el el verdadero pueblo cubano, haste tu la pregunta,porque el esta ahi?

[apacheslim]

@ernestoniebla

Fuck off with I am a cuban shit. You are probably a gringo sitting on your arse in miami rolling joints infront of your PS3

[majikninja07]

@ernestoniebla I think you mean the lack of the ability to import from america is why the cubans suffer like they are, as well as price of all cuban exports are driven down like mad because they cannot import to america

[deceiver123m]

@ernestoniebla people world wide support his dictatorship because it was attacked by other imperialist nations worldwide from the beggining of Castro's government. The banking families world wide set out to destroy castro and destroy cuba. They did what they set out to do and now cuba is in ruins. Therefore if a person opposes the banking families and their economic empires then that person will likely support Castro's regime- regardless of how tyrannical it was forced to become to defend itself

[aljawadn]

i agree, hotchoccolate23. fidel's restrictive measures can be justified. if he hadn't taken those measures to protect the people from imperialist propaganda, cuba would be the de facto property of the US long before this. the revolutionary govt wouldn't have lasted so long

[EmeterioBetances]

Free Cuba and Frree Puerto Rico from the us imperialsim!!!!!!!!!!!

[ernestoniebla]

Listen to me, I'm the cuban people, I'm not longer living there but I was two years ago, you were "defending" me two years ago while I was hating more than ever Fidel and I was trying to find a way to scape like most of my friends and family. Listen to me, listen to Yoani Sanchez, she is speaking the truth. Abajo Fidel

[deceiver123m]

@ernestoniebla and now u defend tiranny. burn in hell.

[deceiver123m]

@ernestoniebla you left a cuban dictatorship to then defend worldwide tyranny. all forms of authoritarianism is terrible. Economic dictatorship is just as deadly as a physical army-imposed tyranny.

[tapansinut]

Well, u must admit that Cubans have something that even Americans don´t have: FREE HEALTH CARE!

and compared to other countries in the region Cuba is lot safer: less crime and much more stable than say Haiti or even Jamaica which has lot of gang violence.

Life expentacy is a lot longer in Cuba too than other Carribean & Latin American countries there r other things too but I´m a bit busy at the moment so perhaps another time I´ll add somethinh

[DAMOCLIES]

spread the truth for it shall set you free!!! BURN THE NWO!
