Early Castro Compatriot Almeida Dead at 82

The original governing body that held Cuba before Castro had caused mass death of their own people by starvation as well as simply gunning them down in an effort to hold power. They were an extreme right wing Dictatorship under a thin guise of their own version of Democracy. All the Leftists as Americans like to call them were warriors who grew tired of the oppression and death caused by the hard line right, they took their country back in hopes of giving the power back to the people who actually built the country. Castro seized power not so much due to the fact he had life long ambitions of being the supreme leader but he seized and held power to thwart CIA attempts to kill him and use Cuba as a puppet. He toyed with Russia as a means to piss off the American Gov when in truth he didn't give a hill of beans about Russia, they were his means to his end. He beat the CIA, he beat US attempts to quash and even murder him, he has held fast and beaten each and every attempt made by our Gov. The only thing our sanctions did was to make life a living hell for the poor people trapped in Cuba that had no say in their own lives and Castro's rise to power and iron grip on Cuba were a direct result of American meddling, much like Iraq as well as Iran to name just a couple of the many the CIA has played games on
