Fidel Castro’s firing squads in Cuba
Fidel Castro is often portrayed as the “benevolent” dictator of Cuba, such portrayals are unarguably wrong. The evidence of his bloodthirsty and murderous nature is unequivocal and available for anyone who wants to know the truth. Unfortunately such evidence is rarely discussed by the news media and at schools. There’s perhaps no more grizzly atrocity committed by Fidel Castro than the firing squads which he implemented. Beginning as a rebel, before he would eventually take power in Cuba, Fidel Castro used firing squad executions to enforce discipline, punish followers deemed disloyal or intimidate potential opposition. At the beginning of the Castro regime there was a reign of terror typical of revolutions in which the firing squad was used prominently but the executions continued for decades.

The Cuba Archive which documents deaths and disappearances resulting from Fidel Castro’s Cuban revolution has documented 3,615 firing squad executions conducted by the Cuban state since Castro took over on January 1, 1959.

Opponents of the death penalty should be horrified at the amount of death Fidel Castro and his accomplices have directly caused. It’s important to note that in Revolutionary Cuba there are none of the due process guarantees found in a western-style democracy. Most of Castro’s firing squad victims were afforded only a perfunctory show trial the outcome of which was predetermined, some didn’t even get that. Ernesto “Ché” Guevara is a popular culture icon, his face adorns posters and t-shirts around the globe. Most people don’t realize that he was Fidel Castro’s chief enforcer and had a personal hand in at least 100 firing squad executions, often delivering the coup de grace personally. In response to questions about Castro’s firing squads Guevara once said, “To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary. These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution. And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate.”

In addition to the firing squad executions 1,253 extrajudicial killings have been attributed to the Castro regime.

Below is a photograph of a firing squad victim being blindfolded by a young Raul Castro. It’s important to note that Raul the current Cuban dictator who is often touted as a soft-hearted and pragmatic man has as much blood on his hands as his older brother, Fidel.

More ghastly photographs of Castro’s firing squads are available at TheRealCuba.com and LatinAmericanStudies.org.

Here is film of Colonel Cornelio Rojas being executed by a Castro Firing Squad.

More about the mob atmosphere surrounding the trials and executions available in an archival newsreel here.

The Castro brothers have also used firing squads more recently. In the summer of 1989 the Castro regime arrested Cuban Army General Arnaldo Ochoa and several other officers. They were charged with drug trafficking. Within a few weeks Ochoa and three others were dead at the hands of a Castro firing squad. The trial was a farce in which Ochoa was forced to confess (video here). Many believe the real crime committed by Ochoa and others charged was disloyalty since Cuba was a known transshipment point for illegal drugs for years and it is highly unlikely that the Castro brothers were unaware of it and not profiting from it.

In April 2003 Fidel Castro’s government executed 3 men who hijacked a ferry boat in an attempt to escape Cuba. They were sentenced to death and killed by firing squad less than two weeks after the alleged crime was committed.

Makes you wonder if there hadn't been so much external interference, Castro may have not had to be such an authoritarian.

Anyone who defies American authoritarianism is an evil dictator by proxy.

Ike should have invited Castro to the WH when he visited the US in 1959 but instead Ike went golfing, the Soviets loved it as they just found a new friend 90 miles south of the US.

Who knows more about the plight of the Cubans than a rich Chicago hack and an anarchist who's employer is all he despises.

I gotta start a book... :lol:

You should actually read a book before you write a book, it's just a thought :news:

He actually improved the lives of the very poor in Cuba, and he saw to it that Cubans had excellent healthcare.

 

:true:

 

We need to look past the American forced rhetoric and false narratives before we unconditionally condemn some of these dictators.  Yes, it was a repressive society (comparably) but Fidel did a lot to help his country's people.  You have to admire his fortitude in the wake of the worlds condemnation.

How many innocent people died in Cuba's foreign military interventions?

US relocates countless indigenous peoples and kills many, Cuba follows Yanqui lead and is condemned.

Fidel was no angel, but the US sure as hell wasn't an angel either so who the hell are we to throw stones.

Fidel needed financial aid so he comes here at the invitation the press in 1959 with some hope that the US government might offer some aid, instead he got snubbed by Ike and the Russians gladly came to the rescue.

Again Fidel was no angel but in comparison to Battista and the Mafia he was a bright spot for many Cubans and an enemy for those tied to Battista and the mob.

I have a Cuban/American friend who has been setting up a trade office in Cuba for the last couple of years, he's the son of exiles.....and the beat goes on.

I didn't say he had a brilliant economics mind.  Clearly private business success doesn't fit into that model.  It's why communism at it's core doesn't work.

Raul Castro, 1960: “My dream is to drop three atomic bombs on New York.” 

What's wrong with that?  His number count?  Clearly one would be enough.  :lol:

The way many here are praising this asshole, his immigration numbers must have been staggering!

LOL.

"Praising" may be a strong word.  Like most "lifetime dictators" they start off decent with good ideas and implementation, then, they lose focus and power and controls kick in.  Again...all of this is "comparably" speaking.  These countries are usually so fucked up from the get-go with idiocy and corruption, they need some type of structure.  Even if it is seen as less than a palatable structure by most of us.  

I could go on here but it's a weird intellect/race/hierarchy thing.  And of course, we all put the European (whitey) at the top of the measurement scale.
