Mr. Tamayo was arrested for one reason. Because he decided to link himself with the US Government's official "regime change" policies, undergoing training at the US Interests Section in Havana and receiving materials from the US government.

Fontova is clearly a revisionist polemicist. His frequent use of profanity and childish insults also points him more towards sophistry than scholarship.

He works backwards by starting with his conclusion i.e. = "Che is evil" or "Cuba is Stalinist" and then inserts any cherry picked information that will help support this view.

Readers should not be left with the impression from this article that he is a serious researcher, it would be an insult to all those that truly investigate for the truth.

is someone dumb enough to believe the drivel spit out by Humberto Fontova.

The guy truly is a clown with about as much credibility as a teenage Myspace blogger.

In Pre-Revolution Cuba, Americans owned 70 % of the arable land, 1% of the population controlled 46 % of the wealth, and 50 % of the population lived in Bohio shacks.

The Dictator Batista’s goons would leave dead bodies hanging in the streets as a warning sign while the SIM (Military Intelligence Service) BRAC (Buro for the Repression of Communist Activities) and Tigres de Mansferrer (Mansferrer Tigers) made up a repressive machinery which tortured and killed 20,000 Cubans.

Batista’s dictatorship operated blindly against teenagers, who would be picked-up, tortured through beatings, their eyes plucked out, their finger nails removed with forceps and females would have hot metal instruments introduced into their v@gina....
