Yeah they are liars that go to other countries of South America to make Cuba look bad from what I've heard on here.

You can't tell by looking at it? The site is poorly designed, brings up all sorts of questionable pictures and articles, and keeps ranting about how great Cuba was before the revolution. This is run by some virulent pro-Batista, anti-Castro Cuban expats who focus more on yellow journalism and tabloid type articles. They've been busted a few times showing images from other countries and saying it's Cuba, and fabricating articles with fictitious statements. However like WorldNetDaily here in the states, they tend to remove these things after the fact to prevent further embarrassment. Everything else on there shouldn't be taken seriously, any more than reading a lolbertarian's rants about the US sliding into socialism, a white supremacist's "exposure" of MLK, or ZOG conspiracy theories.

There are probably many other sites that criticise Cuba from a different standpoint- these are fine to look at. Some look at the political structure in Cuba, economic concepts, whether socialism is being practiced in Cuba, and so on. However this one does it purely from the standpoint of reactionary politics and goes from there, blasting anything "left" and bemoaning the world that Castro and other leftists have apparently destroyed in Latin America. Guess what I'm saying is that there is a world of difference between a concise critique of Cuba (which can come from various political inclinations in our spectrum) and this sensationalist junk.

Yes after taking another look i guess it is clear that they are not legitimate when they are citing Forbes Magazine as a source when talking about Castro's "fortune" :lol:
