President Putin unveiled a new statue of Fidel Castro in Moscow on Nov. 22.

 

Interesting timing…

Putin praised the Communist Cuban leader in his remarks: 

Putin full speech 11/22/22

That cannot be a coincidence.

Putin is trying to tell us something.  Like he knows about the back channel.

Wow... I agree.

Nice Cold War flex! 💪🏾

Putin sticking his thumb in America's eye?

I mean, if Putin seriously did want a statue of Castro (for whatever reason) and had to pick a date to unveil it, why not pick a date sacred to Americans to show his contempt?

I must say, it’s a great likeness of Castro. Lovely statue.
 

Putin’s words were chosen with great care. Most people don’t know this but Putin writes his own speeches… never uses a teleprompter. Old school. 
 

Every word of that speech was aimed directly at the United States, make no mistake about it. 
 

It’s a poke in the eye — one that I think we deserve for our treatment of Cuba.

Putin managed to get the year 1963 in his 11/22 speech (just after 3:00).

Another coincidence?

Now excuse me while I go looking for other clues. Like, who the Walrus is koo koo kachoo?

Now let's see what other clues I can find. Like, who is the Walrus koo koo kachoo?  

 

That 1963 reference about Castro’s trip to Russia really jumped out at me, too — I think that trip put a burr in Kennedy’s shorts. He was reportedly planning a trip to Russia himself after the ‘64 election, just to out-do Castro… 😝

This seems a good place to drop a link to one of my favorite Jim DiEugenio articles  — about Castro’s speech immediately following Kennedy’s murder. 
 

Castro’s speech of 11-27-63 — KennedysAndKing

 

It was, indeed, the Soviets and Communists in Cuba who were the first to speak of a murder conspiracy — literally within days of the Dallas coup. And that’s exactly what they called it — a coup in America. 
 

Of course, this was quickly dismissed by the US government and media as “Russian disinformation!” 
 

Some things never change, eh?

That is really some speech.

Whatever one thought about Castro, no one could say he was dumb.

Jim, I was hoping you could confirm this — is it true that the American government censored this speech from us until 2017, after Fidel’s death?
