Death Of the Prisoner and the mother in white.

[The Red Next Door]

Is it true, the mother in white are a bunch of CIA operative and the Political Prisoner was a common criminal, who starve himself to death just to get stuff?

Can you please give me evidence of this?

There is a video on youtube where one of the women openly admitted to receiving funding from imperialists. Can someone post it please? I appear to have lost the link

I love that video. The indignation of the people in defense of the revolution is a beautiful thing.

Yeah same here, it's awesome that people are proud of the achievements of their country, people, and government. I can't even imagine what it would feel like to be proud of my country

That is an interesting thing to see, especially after all the sob stories American media was spamming around.

Damn. The whole grieving mothers in white made me question the Cuban Revolution, along with another video of a guy high in office calling the Cuban system utterly corrupt and totalitarian. This video also had people looking around for Gestapo like police when questioned about the situation in Cuba. The video literally had me questioning everything.

Regardless of all the mess the journalist tried to get out of the dissenters, they were surprisingly all still supporters of the Revolution but just think it went awry.

I will post the video up sometime.

I hate the level of imperialist propaganda. How can they sleep at night knowing they mess with people's minds and dissolve any hope for future change?

This really impacted on me when I first read it; this is from the Wikipedia entry on the Ladies in White.


Hebe de Bonafini (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebe_de_Bonafini), president of the Argentine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentina) Madres de Plaza de Mayo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madres_de_Plaza_de_Mayo), has criticized the symbolic use of the white scarf, stating "Our white scarf symbolises life while those women, that you are talking about Ladies in White, represent death." Bonafini went on to remark that "the so-called Ladies in White defend the terrorism of the United States, the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo symbolise our love for our children who were murdered by tyrants imposed by the United States."If you didn't know, the Madres de Plaza de Mayo are an association of women whose children were "disappeared" during the Dirty War - an attempt by the fascists in power in Argentina to suppress leftists, covertly backed by the US - they killed tens of thousands.

On the one hand, I'm outraged that these counter-revolutionaries would try and co-opt these women's efforts, and on the other, I find it incredibly fortifying to learn that the Madres de Plaza de Mayo, who had their hearts ripped out by brutal dictators, support the revolution that most capitalists consider to be nothing other than the dictatorship of Fidel Castro.

It's amazing the amount of lies out there. It's frustrating too, because I don't want to just accept the left side's claims carte blanche, even if they have more credibility with me. I'm never 100% on who to believe, because so much of what we think we know about the world in which we live is from second-hand sources.

No choice but to be discerning and think critically, I suppose.

I was at a Madres commemorative march...oh, about 8 or 9 years ago.

The had a loudspeaker set up playing the Internationale. LOUD.

Several of them were also staffing the Communist Party of Argentina booth.
