As usual you don't understand a metphor. I don't really care what their political sway is. It makes no sense to hold a nation of people (except Castro and his cronies) in a state of perpetual semi-starvation. It should be clear half a decade later that such a policy is a miserable failure. If anything it allows Castro to retain a tight control on Cubans because he is the only source of their meager sustenance. Perhaps you should study Communist China to see the failure in your brilliance. Actually China is a very good example of how opening the doors to government relations, commerce and tourism can benefit a country. Since Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon initiated that policy China has moved forward very well for the most part. Like most people I really don't care whether the Chinese Communist Party is in control or not...that is up to the Chinese to run their country. If you want to live with your head in the sand and continue your McCarthy-like rantings about the Perils Of Communism, then please go ahead. Just don't get run over as the world passes you by. |

Castro's death would pose a real dillemma for all the Cuban "refugees" in Florida. All these years they've been moaning about returning to Cuba. Now, they might actually have to "put up or shut up" rj |

"David Eduardo": You get everything mixed up. I said I was a refugee myself, as I had to flee Ecuador to avoid being killed. In fact, I was a matter of days away from becoming a citizen at that time. "dxAce": Nowadays one must renounce their current citizenship and give up their current passport to become a citizen of Ecuador. "David Eduardo": Not then. "dxAce": Did you at any time renounce your citizenship and if so, when did you un-renounce it? "David Eduardo": Are you an employee of the Department of State? "dxAce": Nope. And you didn't answer the question. "David Eduardo": You figure it out. "dxAce": I'll take that as a yes, you did renounce your citizenship.

If you want to live with your head in the sand and continue your McCarthy-like rantings about the Perils Of Communism, then please go ahead. Just don't get run over as the world passes you by. Strong & Soros in business a Partnership from Hell From an air conditioned boardroom somewhere in Communist China, Maurice Strong--the man who would deny air conditioning for you to save the environment--has hatched another anti-American scheme. Having cashed in his Kyoto credits and having launched his ManyOne Internet project from afar, Strong is back on the international scene, ready or not, With his latest comeback, the elusive Strong is stepping back into the limelight after his alleged links to the UN Oil-for-Food scandal took him off the radar screen for more than a year. This comeback sees Strong teaming up in the biz world with George Soros. The deadly duo aims to flood the American market with cheap Chinese made cars. Strong's public predictions that China would replace the United States, as world superpower is not happening fast enough. So Strong and President George W. Bush malcontent George Soros are contemplating pouring hundreds of millions into a Communist China automaker that manufactures the "Chery". Strong and Soros hope to decimate Ford, Chrysler and GM by flooding the U.S. market with cheapo Cherys on a 2007 timeline. .... http://www.canadafreepress.com/2006/cover061506.htm George Soros is about to invest $200 million into Chery http://globalautosystems.com/index.p...d=521&Itemid=2 No better place to hide from American justice than China The tantalizing tale of missing Kofi Annan pointman Maurice Strong is no longer one of those puzzling unsolved mysteries. Canadian `Chairman Mo', a big gun in the international arena, dropped right off the radar screen in April of 2005 when his alleged ties to the UN Oil-for-Food scandal cropped up and wouldn't go away. According to the investigative Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Mo's location has been pinpointed, and it never required a Miss Marple to track him down. AWOL Maurice Strong is alive and kicking in Beijing. Canada Free Press, whose two favourite people to track are Mo and his sidekick, the self-reinvented-as-American-patriot Mikhail Gorbachev, always knew that Mo would return to China, his favourite place on Mother Earth. What we didn't know, but read with relish in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, is that the smooth-talking architect of the Kyoto Protocol, has no choice but to remain in the Orient, "Maurice must now remain in China (where he is very welcome) to avoid questioning by the FBI and Canadian investigators about the $1 million that Tongsun gave him and which Mo tried to hide in his son Fred's nuclear power company, which now is bankrupt." (Pittsburg Tribune-Review, July 30, 2006.) Pointing out that Strong is "very welcome" in China is a polite way of saying that he's right at home where overpaid environmental spin doctors have long claimed that Maurice Strong was the only man alive who could see that the United States of America is replaced by Communist China as world superpower. That's where Mo's sidekick Mikhail Gorbachev--who was never really ever out--comes in. Gorbachev is living La Dolce Vita in San Francisco at the Presidio, where in 1993, he had a three-star general present him the keys to his new digs. International diplomats, no matter how anti-American, always arrive in the West with a soft landing. The Tribune-Review comes right out and throws sunlight on the business partnership Strong has with George Soros. Like the bad guys in a spy movie, Strong and Soros teamed up on the Chery, a sort of poor man's made-in-China vehicle, with which they hope to flood the U.S. market next year. CFP thinks that it's only natural that Strong would be dodging the authorities in China. The Peoples' Republic of China is increasingly viewed as a country governed by a brutal regime, where just posting an anti-government essay on the Internet can get your imprisoned, or being Christian can get you killed. Aside from addressing the occasional symposium on global warming, Chairman Mo remains on the lam in China. Are Strong and other UN world players protected for life by something called UN international immunity? Bringing Maurice Strong to justice would be as difficult as having him prove his credentials. Long ago his diplomatic status was bought for him, courtesy of an influential Canadian Liberal politician by the name of Paul Martin Sr., the late father of the recently defeated Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin Jr. The relationship between Strong and the Martins may be based on more than international politics, another Mo intrigue with a trail long ago gone cold. Maurice Strong, who keeps popping up in all the right places, has always been perceived as a cross between the Wizard of Oz and Dr. No. It would be poetic justice of a sort if the gruesome trio of Maurice Strong Mikhail Gorbachev and George Soros would finish their days on earth in Beijing. This is surely the place where the anti-American, commie loving aging activists belong. Now if only they would call home the murderer by default of Blue Helmets, Kofi Annan. http://www.canadafreepress.com/2006/cover080206.htm Who is Maurice Strong? Chairman of Visionary Vehicles' Technology and Environmental Advisory Board. He is a former senior adviser to U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan and adviser to the president of the World Bank. Maurice created the Earth Charter with sidekick Mikhail Gorbachev. At last count, The Earth Charter, which Strong and Gorbachev claim is a replacement for the Ten Commandments, was being carted from school to school in its goatskin covered gilded case by UN Staff. Maurice Strong would like us all to believe he is an environmentalist through and through. So, of course, he would never consider investing in a company that (gasp!) "plans to export into the U.S. and elsewhere gas-guzzling SUVs" and was sued by General Motors for piracy - unless of course the firm is owned by his Chinese Communist hosts. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/ar...TICLE_ID=50619 The Bio of Kofi Annan http://www.discoverthenetwork.com/in....asp?indid=796 The Bio of George Soros http://www.discoverthenetwork.com/in....asp?indid=977 Soros Shadow Party - "Phoenix" Group [Phoenix in China also means Dragon] http://moonbatcentral.com/wordpress/?p=274 What is a Chery? http://www.theepochtimes.com/news/6-6-15/42784.html http://www.detnews.com/2005/autosins.../A01-47455.htm http://www.time.com/time/archive/pre...147185,00.html The Chery can be bought in China for $3,600, and an American car dealer near you for $20,000. What-a-deal! Chinese assembly line workers earn approximately $2 an hour. In South Korea, the same worker earns $22 and the comparable U.S. wage is approximately $60 an hour. As China becomes wealthier, naturally the value of the labor wages should also increase. However, the Communist regime intentionally prevents the Chinese currency from appreciating; this unnaturally prevents the standard of living of the working class to improve and has resulted in large trade surpluses. This economic tactic benefits the Communist regime at the expense of the working class worldwide. |

three wheel vehicle.One night he fired it up (it would only go at less than a walking speed) and the vehicle bumped into the side of a building.It had a big copper boiler up front and a sort of a ratchet cog front wheel drive system.Actually,a guy in Italy invented a spring wound vehicle,but it never went anywhere.Benz was a ''Johonny come lately''. www.devilfinder.com The First French steam powered vehicle cuhulin |

Ask Dr.Who? In my opinion,General Motors Corporation messed up when they
stopped building Oldsmobile cars. www.devilfinder.com History of Oldsmobile. Perhaps sales were falling off,but GMC could have came out with some new models and kept them going.Oldsmobile cars were some of the nicest cars that GMC ever made.If GMC goes belly up,I am going to blame it on GMC. cuhulin |

www.devilfinder.com History of General Motors Corporation
1897,Oldsmobile.GMC got rid of their historical namesake cars,Oldsmobile.(Oldsmobile used to make a line of pickup trucks too.I used to see a 1928 (I think it was 1928) Oldsmobile pickup truck running around Jackson back in the 1950's and 1960's.Nowdays,GMC is talking about merging with Renault and or two other foreign car outfits,sort of like Chrysler merged with Daimler and became Daimler/Chrysler. What would happen if Ford Motor Company got rid of their Ford line of cars and trucks? cuhulin |

GM's as well as Ford's upper management are positioning their companies so
that they have a plausible reason become bankrupt. This is so they can forsake their massive pension obligations to their retired workforce. The pensions which their Unions so rightly faught for over many years. Forget about quality and an imaginative designs. They have purposely gutted their engineering teams of any quality talent. wrote in message ... Ask Dr.Who?
