August 24, 200719 yr There is a big rumor going around Miami that Fidel is a dead man. You won't find anything online, but some people with knowledge of what goes on in Cuba say he died. Is the OB ready for the celebration?
August 24, 200719 yr Isn't his brother who's supposed to take over for him after he dies, an even worse person?
August 24, 200719 yr Awesome, I sure hope so! Although this is a rumor that you hear a couple times a year in Miami it seems.
August 24, 200719 yr Rumor #475? rip? Don't you dare i don't like fidel, but to be celebrating one man's death just doesn't feel right (even though we know what it could bring to cuba).

August 24, 200719 yr Rumor #475? rip? Don't you dare i don't like fidel, but to be celebrating one man's death just doesn't feel right (even though we know what it could bring to cuba). Deaths in history are pretty important points. No shame in acknowledging this.

I wouldn't celebrate it but I'd be near ecstatic if it was true. His death wouldn't bring anything to Cuba; little sister Raul took over a year ago.

I wouldn't be one of those persons in the streets with a pot in one hand and a pan in another.
August 24, 200719 yr BREAKING: FIDEL CASTRO IS DEAD My cellphone has not stopped ringing for the past ten minutes. Various sources inform that an announcement will come within the next few minutes from the Cuban government on Cuban TV and media. Stay tuned and we'll see if we've been manipulated once again or if today is the birth date of Cuba's liberty. Update: Here's the deal and what I know up to now, as of 1500 hours, August 24, 2007: First, South Florida Law Enforcement is on alert. An EOC (Emergency Operations Center) has been set-up and manned somewhere in Homestead. Im also told Local and State government agencies have food, bottled water, and other necessities - valued in the millions - stored and/or staged in Homestead at or near the EOC. I am presently verifying whether Coast Guard and DHS and Border Patrol agencies are on high alert. (Verified 01445) Local News stations are abuzz, mostly on reports very much like the above, with massive law enforcemnt mobilizations throughout Dade county. Local emergency medical services notified to be on alert by law enforcement agencies. Im told - and still awaiting confirmation - that buses in Havana have been recalled to terminals and that Cuban workers have been sent home. (still unconfirmed 1500) Again, I am loathe to publish the title as I did in this post, but I would be remiss in not telling you all what I know, right now. All of my sources are good but the Cuban government, as we all know, is masterful at controlling media and information and we should not rule out that this and last Friday's "news" have been and are feelers to see what the reactions are here, as well as who reacts within the island. If we've been duped we've been duped. If not, then bust out the champagne. Once again, these may all be rumor to discredit us and other media sources. All we can do is exactly what we've been doing for quite some time now: wait and see. From babalublog The bolded part is the biggie. If that's confirmed, he's gone.
August 24, 200719 yr I agree with the first half. I wouldn't be one of those persons in the streets with a pot in one hand and a pan in another. Oh come on! This is potentially the biggest party the world's seen in a long time!

August 24, 200719 yr It was confirmed to my by word of mouth. He died at 1am this morning. No official release yet. I would say the 6pm news. As a Cuban that was born on the island, but Catholic person, I don't wish him dead, but I do know things will get better sooner than later.
August 24, 200719 yr are any of the news channels reporting anything? Only Channel 7 has a 4PM news hour and they are not leading off with this.
August 24, 200719 yr yeah....I was thinking more CNN or Headline News....i'm not in Miami so I guess I'll have to wait for any reports
