Satellite Dishes are the Devil, Part II

after the announcement by hack party newspaper Granma that satellite dishes could be used by the US to brainwash the Cuban people into believing they live in a repressive regime with no civil liberties and no freedom of expression whatsoever (yes, a hard job, i know ... but somebody's got to do it), the troops on the ground lost no time in implementing the crackdown.

the first ten days of August saw the bulk of the raids by the national police, with continued, though intermittent, raids since.

the raids were timed to coincide with such "subversive" shows as Sabado Gigante, the Christina Show, and the Laura Show, all beamed from the US, and all very popular with captive Cuban audiences.

let's think about this for a minute, ok? we're talking about a country that chooses to control what its citizens watch or do not watch to the extent of cracking down on satellite dishes.

there's got to be something wrong with that
