It is not surprising since it is known that all the methods of suppressing the Cuban people the Communist Regime learned from the Soviets. Antunes affirms that the Police are burring prisoners in clandestine graves! They are cutting ears and fingers in front of other prisoners so they will retrant themselves. They are taking them outside thru the back doors and killing them!! #SoSCuba

Jones reports that <i><span style="color: blue;">"The lawsuit was filed after Infowars reported on mainstream and independent media articles covering how three Syrian migrants raped and urinated on a 5-year-old girl at knife point at the Fawnbrook Apartment complex in Twin Falls, Idaho, near where Chobani Yogurt operates a plant using migrant labor its owner, Hamdi Ulukaya, actively lobbied for".</span></i></div>

The Chobani owner Hamdi Ulukaya is linked to Soros, the Clintons and the Federal Reserve (Foreigners in the Federal Reserve)</div>

It's Now Or Never!My sincere respect for the people of Venezuela, because your struggle is also the struggle of every freedom loving human being. Fight so your homeland can once again shine!<br />
<br />
In the name of free Cubans all over the world I apologize to the Venezuelan people for the Communist Cuban mercenaries sent by the Castro brothers to kill and violate your rights in your own land. They are our shame and in due time will have to answer for their crimes and their complicity in the crimes committed by the Castro brothers.<br />
<br />
Communists are like parasites. They suck the life out of everything they touch in order to survive. They bring only misery and death. The Castro Regime learned from the Soviets and will hang on to power by any means necessary.<br />
<br />
It would be wise for all countries in Latin America to pay close attention to what is happening in Venezuela and what happened in Cuba. Aligning yourselves with the Castro Regime would be a deadly mistake. Just as they did in Cuba and in Venezuela, they will steal all the wealth that others worked so hard to acquire.<br />
<br />
This is the reality in Venezuela!<br />
<br />
Venezuelans, look in the reflection of the Cubans. Everything that is happening to your country, happened in Cuba. Unfortunately, we were not able to save ourselves from communism's evil grip, but for you it's not too late. Your fight is our fight! "It's Now or Never!"<br />

</span> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">Celebrating Life in Union is a story of human resilience, community, and brotherhood. It follows a group of former Cuban political prisoners through their memory of imprisonment and their half century fight against the aging Castro regime. Having developed a strong community for themselves that now crosses three generations, they struggle with the realization that their own mortality may come before they can return to their homeland.</span> <br />

She recalls how in 93 when her brother dissident Jose Luis Garcia Perez (Antunez) was in prison for political reasons, he endured additional mistreatment and humiliation due to the color of his skin and she recalls a horrible incident, that seems like something right out of 19th century Spanish colonialism, where her brother's jailers incited some dogs to attack him and they destroyed parts of his body, but he was refused medical care and was told......____<i>"We are not going to heal you, because you are a black counter-revolutionary". </i></span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Nowadays, Antunez is out of prison, but lives in Cuba and in his own way he is a free man. He is an outspoken critic of the Castro Regime and twitters and blogs for freedom. He calls his blogs "<a href="http://nimecallonimevoy.wordpress.com/">Ni me Callo ni me Voy</a>", which means, I will not be Silent and I will not Leave.</span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Racism is and has been evident from the early days of the communist revolution and even before the bearded men came down from the hills of Sierra Maestra in 1959. The communists want the world to believe that they are for equality, but the reality is very different and in a crowd the black man with be the first to be asked for his identity papers and racial slurs during arrests of dissidents or none dissident is common practice and if they are unlucky enough to end up in prison-they always get the worse treatment.</span><br />

She began to become politically aware in 1990 when her brother, Jorge Luis Garcia Perez (“Antúnez”), was unjustly charged with “enemy propaganda” for saying in a public square that Cuba should experience the same political changes that were taking place in Eastern Europe. He was incarcerated and then charged with additional political offenses during his confinement, which extended his sentence until 2007.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4em; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Antúnez Pernet became increasingly aware of the gravity of the human rights situation in Cuba through visiting her brother in prison and learning about the conditions to which he and other prisoners of conscience were subjected.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4em; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In 1997, Antúnez Pernet and other family members of political prisoners founded an organization called the National Movement of Civic Resistance Pedro Luis Boitel to fight ill-treatment in prison. By 1999, the movement had collected over 5,000 signatures for a general amnesty of political prisoners in Cuba. It has also carried out protests in front of various prisons throughout the island. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4em; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
