Is Fidel Castro Dead?

Fidel Castro 2006
Reddit is calling attention to the death of Fidel Castro, though no news services are offering the same story... is it true?

Well, we'll have to wait and see... certainly, Castro has been in declining health and gave up his post last July, in 2006.


While most Americans think of Castro as part of the old-skool block of Communist leaders, as the Hollywood movies paint a less-than-flattering picture of the Cuban president, Canadians have enjoyed Cuban hospitality for years. Great rum, fantastic cigars.

Likewise, while some might think of his death as the end of a dictatorship, people that live in Central and South America think of him as 'The Grandfather'.

There is little doubt that he was an oppressor as his own sister was quick to point out.
Arrests and executions.
Yet he was not alone in that.

However people say his greatest crime were his 3 hour long speeches about why he was a great leader.

Personally I think he is still alive but getting a little old to do the job.

The way America has tried to pressure Cuba and stave it out has done little to unseat Castro but has instead made his power base stronger.

Remember to wear your underware on the outside so that the army can can check that it has been changed often enough.

Reddit, like Digg, is full of hypocritical gits, they lie as much as Bill O'Reilly if not more, sometimes theyd on't even lie, they're so stupid they believe anything, so take it with a grain of salt.

Oh shit

I hope this is very much untrue.

I was planning on having my 20th birthday at his place.

The theme would be "Lets Party In Cuba Before Castro Dies"

and if this is true, well there goes my theme.
