[dipsydoodle]

Former Cuban President Fidel Castro has made a rare public appearance to launch his memoirs.

The book, Guerrilla of Time, is almost 1,000 pages long and relates his childhood and rise to power in the Cuban Revolution.

Fidel Castro, 85, said it was every Cuban's duty to fight until the last moment, for Cuba, the planet, and humanity.

He had not been seen in public since April last year.

Fidel Castro Launches Two Volumes of his Memoirs

Havana, Feb 4 (Prensa Latina) The leader of the Cuban Revolution launched in this capital two volumes of his memories with the title: Fidel Castro Ruz: Guerrillero del tiempo.

The volumes which have around a thousand pages open with the first memories of the leader's childhood, and they close on Dec 1958, before the triumph of the Revolution on January 1, 1959.

They are going to talk to you about two books on news that have not been reported, Fidel Castro commented in the Conventional Palace, a few minutes before the launching this Friday.

These memories were the result of his conversations with Katiuska Blanco, writer and journalist.

4. The man is so full of himself. We were in Havana last April, and

we were greeted by our tour operator as follows:

"Welcome to Cuba, the largest prison in the world." The people are suffering immensely, and paid very little to subsist.

Education is free for everyone, but there is no way to practice what you have learned. It is not a rarity to see a physicist driving a bus, or an engineer running a kitchen in a Jewish temple (we met one such woman).

5. You can find the same people in the US.

And yet the US imprisins far more people then the entire population of Cuba.

6. I hold out the hope that volume two will...

...tell what Castro knows about the JFK and possibly other assassinations, as his parting punch in the nose to our secret government.

I've often wondered how this tiny communist island has survived so many decades right off the coast of the Empire that loathes them so much. It's quite amazing when you think about it. Wouldn't it be great if Castro was blackmailing the Dark Powers here all this time?
