In Tribute to Fidel Castro

Tribute (and Best Wishes) to Fidel Castro:
How best can We Honor Him?
[By doing our part to defeat the Giant Corporation-Government- corporate Mass Media Axis]


I read (or misread) a false (Thank Goodness) report of Fidel Castro's death. (Mark Twain would have said it was exaggerated.)  What follows below was originally written as a Eulogy.  Happily, a few words can be changed and the article offered as a Tribute to this truly astonishing hero.  

After the Tribute,  we put forward  an Action Plan intended to rescue Cuba and the rest of us from "the New World Order".



I.  In Tribute

A GIANT has nearly passed from this little planet earth.

A measure of Fidel Castro's greatness is the depth of reverence and love the People of Cuba have felt for this man, which helped immensely to keep him safe from a series of American secret police assassins.

A measure of Fidel Castro's greatness is witnessed by the virtual unanimity of support given him by the Cuban people, presenting a virtually unified front against subversion and constant financial & political pressure from the overwhelmingly powerful United States.


A measure of Fidel Castro's greatness can be glimpsed on any map displaying the United States and Cuba.  Just look at the difference in physical size ! Go ahead and look at a map.  Fidel Castro kept his island safe from this enormous, warmongering and close-lying Enemy for half a century !! Unimaginable, but he DID it.


A measure of Fidel Castro's greatness may be viewed in his original Revolution -- managed in a U.S. Corporation-Mafia playground bolted and guarded by a U.S. Government-coddled Batista dictatorship.

A measure of Fidel Castro's greatness can be seen in the quick, revolutionary transformations in  Cuba from downtrodden ignorance, poverty and exploitation to social security, education,  and one of the best medical systems in the world (substantially better for people's health than that found in the United States).

A measure of Fidel Castro's greatness is to take a downtrodden people and to instill in them a quiet, indelible, soul-nourishing PRIDE.

A measure of Fidel Castro's greatness was obvious in his personal bravery and unwavering moral purpose.
 
[Look around you in this contemporary world.  Look at the scrawny material things that motivate  the heavy majority of middle-class beings, due primarily to corporate advertising and corporate influence on government.

[Look at the crude values and senseless fears which haunt even the Rich, urging them to lead unethical, petty materialistic lives -- and only in this are they uncompromising.]

[Note on human psychology:  Moral Purpose lends courage. Fidel Castro has exemplified this truth.]

A measure of Fidel Castro's greatness lies in the inspiration he bestowed upon so many of us --- and not to forget that Che Guevara did the same.  Oh, Cuba !  Thank you.

[And Viva the unsung hero Raul Castro !!]

A measure of Fidel Castro's greatness, and the hatred he awakened in ugly financial and political Powers, may be seen in his INDEPENDENCE and Fearlessness.

     As a symbol of these unusual human virtues did the alien Powers not only hate but FEAR him.  They are, after all, despite their Money and Power, a tiny, tiny, tiny, miniscule minority.  "What if", they ask each other, "The Many become fearless, independent and morally determined like this Castro?"


II.  How Best Can We Honor Fidel Castro?

How to overcome the Corporation-Government-corporate Mass Media axis that is creating a New World Order of international Fascism which gravely endangers  all of us.

Analysis

First to quickly explain The System we are yoked into. Once distinguishing the trees from the forest,  It is really quite simple:

Giant Corporations have the money (for the most part begotten criminally).  They pour it  into politicians and the entire political system, thereby purchasing the most coveted of prizes -- domination of Government with all of Its tremendous powers (e.g. to devise giant-corporation-benefiting policies such as War, fascistic destruction of democratic processes and civil liberties, secret-police Scaremongering contrivances such as America's 9/11 and Britain's 7/7,  Genetic Engineering, Patents on Life-Forms and the entire abusive system of patent law, the marketing of dangerous drugs,  protection from  taxation, protection from  an exploited and damaged  Citizenry, and, generally, protection from Justice.)

Domination of Government facilitates the other fabulous weapon in the Corporate arsenal -- a corporate Mass Media which propagandizes, suppresses information, and distorts facts.  In other words, operates a system of Thought Control. 

The chief dispenser of Thought Control is the genuinely vile, Orwellian machine called  TELEVISION.   It is an addiction far worse than heroin, and the ignorant, ethically passive Silent Majority  gape at it daily hour-after-hour and absorb its many forms of Propaganda.

NOTE:  This largely ignorant, easily manipulated, and politically passive Majority is the true basis of  Corporate Power.

The ignorance and warped thinking of the Vast Majority are utterly vital to the Few controlling the Many (i.e. Oligarchy; when the Many are in control, as in Classical Athens, the political system is called "Democracy")

Therefore, an informed, politically act
