Heading for Inevitable Disaster

by Stephen Lendman

In 1959, Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz liberated Cuba from imperial America, police state rule, and mafia bosses who turned the nation into a casino and brothel.

On August 13, Fidel turns 86. After leading Cuba for decades, surviving hundreds of US attempts to kill him, a punishing embargo, and numerous other hostile acts, illness forced him to step down in December 2008.

Like others, including this writer, he justifiably fears inevitable disastrous war.

Humanity will suffer. Castro long feared nuclear destruction, perhaps eventual annihilation. In a July 2010 videotaped interview, he expected Washington and Israel to target Iran, saying:

In his latest article, Castro said:

If Mother of all Bombs (MOB) are used like king-sized hand grenades, can human extinction be far behind, or at least face tens of millions of lives lost, multiples more condemned to slow, painful death, and countless others from disease.

Major Media Scoundrels Promote War

What Fidel fears, US policy makers and major media scoundrels support, no matter the potentially catastrophic consequences.

Media scoundrels repeat these lies. Rush Limbaugh openly supports bombing, saying:

The New York Times regularly features pro-war advocates like former Israeli intelligence head Amos Yadlin. He used it to claim Israel faces an existential threat of annihilation and must act preemptively against it.
