If your looking for something you can probably find it. Not to mention you could take quite a few photos like this in the US (has anyone been to Mississippi?) And that is exactly what you get on a site like this. Just check out the sponsor's, many wealthy white Cuban exiles, eh? Not to mention the idealizing of pre-Revolution dictatorial times. :wacko:

Well yea Comrade I know its a Bourgeois infested site, but I was just wondering if these pictures and videos are actually from the "real" Cuba.

The photos of carnival and the charge that they are evidence of Cubans "living in a police state", are absurd.

In the UK we have the Notting Hill Carnival in London which is heavily policed and makes the police presence in the Cuban photos look like an out-break of lawlessness!

This from the Guardian:


Concern over the rising cost of the carnival led the police to estimate last year's event would cost £4m...

The force paid for 80 extra CCTV cameras and hand-held metal detectors, to help officers identify people carrying guns and knives. Crime was cut by a quarter.

According to the report, 10,000 officers were deployed over the two days, 1,500 more than the year before. A breakdown showed that £2.5m was spent on normal policing and civil staff pay, £2.1m on overtime, and £1.1m on other costs before, during and after the carnival.

Would the sponsors of therealcuba website claim that therefore the UK is a police state?

I mean, it's easy to prove:

isn't it?
