Democracy Now!: Leonard Weinglass on the Cuban Five

[1974geandy]

FUCK THE FIVE

[paul8kangas]

Emil Zola said it best:  "I accuse the US of illegally framing

the Cuban 5.

[paul8kangas]

In the hearings, held in Cuba, the Cuban government revealed what they knew about the 1,500 Miami terrorists who have been attacking Cuba for the past 50 years. The list included well known American CIA agents who were arrested in the Watergate burglary.

How could the Watergate burglary have anything to do with the JFK assassination?

they have to 100 lifes behind bar

[mannyjelstad]

@mannyjelstad THIS GUY WORKS FOR FIDEL

[skyscraper83]

It's funny. The Cuban five are severing life sentence for the same thing the CIA agents due every day. The US and their double standards.

How much did the Cubans pay you Weinglass? You anti American piece of shit! Go live in Cuba

[schlachthauz]

@WoulddieforUSA Facts are scary eh? Real facts and truth are anti-American. If you just say a true fact, it is anti-American. Like if I have brown hair, and I say "my hair is brown". That is an anti-American statement. A true American would say the hair was another color and help distort reality and facts. Even anyone who could see my hair was brown would then question the obvious: maybe it is not brown. Everyone is saying it is another color. Thus I would be guilty.

[WoulddieforUSA]

Fuck the Five! I hope they rot in jail, then in hell. Spying in the U.S. for terrorists against Cuba? What a crock!!!

[tomtom940]

"Cuban Americans" is practically a self contradictory phrase. I have never seen such civil rights violating, US Constitution contempting people than your average Cuban American. You can get shot for saying the "wrong thing" in Hialeah, lemme tell ya!

[Politeama]

How about the 11 millions of innocent Cubans that for 50 long years have not known any civil & human rights? 50 years of an infamous tyranny, more than 2 million Cubans have left their country looking for freedom. Those 5 Cubans were found guilty for terrorism & spying over foreign land for a country rule by a tyrant. You should be claiming the freedom for the 11 million of Cubans held in the Island of Cuba with no freedom for half a century. Your words have not value in truth.

[MADMANJIBARO]

the irony. they come here spying for Castro, who does not have a democracy and will throw you in jail IN Cuba without a fair trial, then they cry for a fair case hear.

they aren't spying on the government, just other cubans.. CUBAN AMERICANS. it still isn't right, they should definitely have a fair trial, but sympathy no. They were fucking with fellow citizens. They are lucky for only ten years. in Cuba Castro would put they up for life.

[timand2037]

not irony but consistency - Cuba since 1959 has always stood for social justice

[MADMANJIBARO]

sure. unfortunately Cuban governments weren't so keen on the idea.

The USA is NOT A DEMOCRACY! WE ARE A REPUBLIC Morons! The difference being we are THE MAJORITY: LIMITED!

Its purpose is to control The Majority strictly, as well as all others among the people, primarily to protect The Individual's God-given, unalienable rights and therefore for the protection of the rights of The Minority, of all minorities, and the liberties of people in general.
