We Are Change

Since Fidel’s passing, I’ve been approached by many of those close to me with some form of “congrats” or “we’re happy for you” and by some of those not as close to me with some form of “how do you feel about Fidel dying?” While the congratulations and well wishes are certainly appreciated, in looking at the broader reaction to Fidel’s death I find the second line of feedback more interesting to discuss.

To understand my position, and that of most second generation Cuban Americans, you must first understand where our pain comes from. To paraphrase Miami’s Dan LeBatard, our pain is not our own, it is shared and borrowed from our parents and grandparents. They made all the sacrifices so that we would never have to make any. Why is this vitally important to understand? Many of the people who can vividly remember the pain associated with having their guns, property, money and freedom stripped away seemingly overnight are quite literally dying off. Imagine waking up tomorrow and your internet is completely shut off and you have a militarily enforced curfew. Imagine that you no longer own the business you built or the house you bought and lived in for generations. Imagine your loved ones being taken away, not to be heard from again simply for voicing a contrary view.  While this pain can only be fully understood by those who lived it, it’s imperative to understand this as the framework and the lens through which Cuban Americans view the Castro brothers.

So, how do I feel about Fidel dying? Happy and lonely. Happy, solely because my grandparents and mother outlived him. Lonely, because the widespread reaction to Fidel’s death has shown how truly alone the Cuban American community is in understanding the scope of the pain associated with what has been going on in Cuba for nearly 60 years.  There are a generation of Americans that remember a time when “what should we do about Cuba” was the question de jour. This was a time when America was at war with “the Big Red Dog” and Russia was attempting to bring nuclear missiles 90 miles from our Southern border. Note that the question was never, “what can we do to help the Cuban people?” That’s an important distinction to make. Generally speaking, the US government does not care about human rights violations unless there is some sort of significant financial or security interest in doing so. Cuba made the grave mistake of never developing a natural resource that the US would’ve some day wanted to exploit. Therefore, when the paranoia of Communist blacklists, Cuban spies and nuclear missiles controlled by this madman went away, so did American concerns over Cuba and the Cuban people. This is the heart of why many Cuban Americans don’t like JFK, love Reagan and despise Obama. This is why Cuban Americans feel lonely now. What we had all hoped would be a time of enlightenment for people on the atrocities committed by this regime and an opportunity for the leaders of the “free world” to condemn the actions of a brutal dictator turned into a celebration of Castro’s alleged strides in education and universal healthcare.

In the pre-Castro era a medical degree from the University of Havana was considered to be on par with that of a degree from Harvard. They had exchange programs where Harvard students would train in Havana and visa versa. Cuban doctors had reciprocity to practice in the United States even. Cuba’s educational and healthcare systems were by far the best in Latin America, second only to the United States and Canada in the hemisphere. This is not meant to downplay some of the inequalities that existed, as Batista was in no way a benevolent ruler and wealthy Americans dominated much of Cuban industry. However, it is meant to illustrate the Country’s status prior to Castro’s revolution.

Now? The educational system is built around indoctrination of children into the tenets of communism from a young age and taking away the children that show promise from their families. This is done to make their strongest developmental bonds be with the government in lieu of the families. This allows them to exert a greater degree of control over those who they feel will benefit them in medicine, sports, the military, espionage and education. Most importantly, control of education is the only way you can ensure that an ideology remains in place. It’s why so many of Russian Cold War resources were spent on trying to place educators into the American higher education system. It’s the necessary slow play when trying to change the ideology of millions across multiple generations.

“We cannot expect Americans to jump from capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism.” – Khrushchev 1960

The “universal healthcare system” that everyone praises? The Cuban people have limited access to rudimentary healthcare. The hospitals visited by the people are 60+ years old, dirty and lack any of the modern tools we take for granted here. The only way the Cuban people can get something as basic as Tylenol is by going to the pharmacy’s meant for tourists and the government and paying in US dollars. Millions of dollars in medicines, books and basic hygiene products are shipped from South Florida to Cuba on a yearly basis.  Much of it confiscated before ever reaching it’s intended recipient. What does make it through is hoarded like gold. But what about all the great facilities Michael Moore had in his documentary? Cuba does have some of the best doctors and facilities anywhere in the world. In fact, many of the wealthy Latin American families and dignitaries travel to Cuba for medical procedures. If you think this contradicts everything I just stated, you would be wrong. It simply shows the two different Cubas there are. There’s a Cuba that tourists and those in government see and there’s a Cuba that the Cuban people as a whole experience.

Even if you set aside the above facts, how would quality education and healthcare absolve the firing squads, the taking of property, the stifling of religious and political freedom, the deliberate impoverishment of an entire population and all of the other atrocities?

It would be easy, as a Cuban American, to be angry with President Obama, Secretary Kerry, Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, the Pope, President Putin and others who all but showered praise on this brutal dictator. As a people, we finally and unquestionably understand how the rest of the world feels about our pain. Now all we can feel is something worse than anger: loneliness.

We Are Change

Author and documentary filmmaker Mike Cernovich took to Twitter yesterday and waged war against Salon.com – exposing their disgusting protection and promotion of pedophilia.

A topic on Salon.com is literally titled “virtuous pedophiles.”

What are the people at Salon.com thinking?! “Virtuous Pedophiles”? I am not sure what the hell is virtuous about pedophiles, but let’s try to wade through this dark subject with a light heart.

Honestly, this topic is so sickening it makes me want to find Salon’s editors and the writers of these disgusting articles and strap them down to a chair Clockwork Orange style and show them the heart wrenching stuff I found hunting pedophiles. I helped run the @ReportAPedo account on twitter before we got suspended, and from my experience I got to see things that to this day I can’t get out of my head that makes me sick to my stomach. Salon you really want to tell me you think pedophilia should be normalized and there are actually “Pedophiles Who Mean Well?”

Let em tell you how much pedophiles mean well. I infiltrated into large pedophile communities on the dark web and clear web as we hacked into various email accounts, exposing pedophiles and online pedophile rings on Tor – sick, demented horrible people. Some of these pedophiles were taking pictures of their own kids and sharing it online with other pedophiles. Salon’s headline “I am a Pedophile but not a monster” is normalizing absolute monsters. Anyone who tries to make sexual advancements on children or gets sexually aroused by children is by definition monstrous.

In another case we exposed a pedophile in Argentina who was also a priest! He was trying to arrange a meeting with someone who said “they had access to children.” Now to kill the stigma that every priest is a pedophile, we found that surprisingly pedophiles were literally all over in various establishments and institutions and more commonly it was someone close to that child like a parent or a relative.

Mike Cernovich has the right idea – screencapping pictures of companies advertising with Salon.com and asking those companies why they support pedophilia is the right way to bring justice to Salon’s disgusting pro-pedophile campaign.

Reading Salon’s headlines is frankly disturbing, let alone knowing that you have a section entitled “virtuous pedophiles.” As Cernovich said, you are “giving a platform to pedophiles and that is an endorsement.” Why is Salon trying to normalize pedophilia? Are they trying to shift the Overton window for pedophile politicians like Patricia Hewitt did in the U.K.? Hewitt, the former Labour cabinet minister, was caught trying to push a pedophile’s agenda to make incest legal and lower the age of consent to the age of 10, as we detailed in our groundbreaking expose on “elite” pedophilia. An entire ring of “elite” pedophiles exists – is Salon their public relations outlet?

There is nothing, I repeat nothing “virtuous” about pedophiles who want to rape and molest children and in many cases hurt or kill children. There is no virtue in pedophiles who look at random kids on the internet and get off on it. Then there are those that steal children off the streets, kidnapping them from their parents.

Pedophilia sadly is an epidemic globally – it’s the devolution of our society. One website we were hunting on of clothed children or non nudes had a total of 500,000 accounts – and that was on the clear web or www, and not onion Tor addresses. We would also take cases from law enforcement who sent us tons of pedophiles and encouraged us to look into them and watch them. Salon why don’t you spend a day on the anti-trafficking unit or online on the dark web and see pedophilia for what it really is – horrifying and disturbing child abuse.

Again, the “elite” child abuse scandals have been documented for decades, and frankly I am disgusted by the mainstream media for making it into a joke and wild conspiracy theory about tunnels under DC and focusing solely on that theory. Quite simply, FOCUS ON THE REAL EVIDENCE like the declassified FBI pedophile symbols and then tell me how places like Comet Ping Pong Pizza were not pedophile meeting places or places to network given their symbols for pedophiles? How about mentioning Jeffrey Epstein and his light sentence for child trafficking and Dyncorp’s constant trafficking of kids for decades, or the DuPont heir Robert Richards who raped his own three year old daughter and got no jail time? No, instead the mainstream media wants to whitewash a serious subject that deserves critical attention and investigation why? Because as John Decamp said “if you control the media, if you control the Justice Department if you control the police you own the system.” Are the two from a New Jersey halal slaughterhouse charged for human trafficking involved in selling child sex slaves? With the amount of cover pedophiles have been given by the law, its difficult to determine which of the many human traffickers in the U.S. are selling children to pedophiles.

Anyone who doubts elite pedophilia can watch “An Open Secret” and see the pedophilia in Hollywood that is “normal” in their own words. See the child talent agent Marty Weiss, who is a convicted pedophile now working as the person who oversees these talent agencies and is supposed to protect the children. Listen to Corey Feldman talk about how he and Corey Haim were raped. Find the charges of pedophilia against X-Men director Bryan Singer.

Another 1980’s documentary “Boys For Sale” goes into the various documented cases. You can also read the articles I have written on elite pedophilia- how the current New York Times boss protected pedophile Jimmy Savile and the big expose of documented cases of elite pedophilia including the Franklin Cover Up and many more I haven’t detailed here.

Mike Cernovich’s screen capping all of Salon’s disgusting pro-pedophilia articles and asking people to call and write their advertisers and investors to let them know they are supporting a site that supports pedophilia – or at the very least gives pedophiles an outlet to express why they aren’t evil and they are the victims here – is courageous and much needed.

In a statement given to We Are Change, Mike Cernovich had this to say – “Pedophilia is not investigated properly as many in the media are pedophiles. Salon itself has attempted to normalize pedophilia. So too has the New York Times. Citizens must unite against evil in the world.”

I couldn’t agree more. The world won’t be silent anymore.

Since Cernovich’s statement, researchers have already found instances of New York Times hiding pedophilia evidence from their website.
