BREAKING: Former Cuban president Fidel Castro dies aged 90

The Communist ex-president had been in poor health for many years and had not made many public appearances.

He was president of the Caribbean island for more than 30 years.

His brother, Raul, became president in 2008 after a string of illnesses saw the historic figure withdraw from the public eye.

This is a breaking news story. More to follow...

Former Cuban President Fidel Castro, who led the island nation 90 miles from the United States to communism, died late Friday, Cuban state television announced.

Would love to see the island revolt and turn itself around.... but they have been cowed so long now I don't know if they even know what freedom smells like.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Most of those that do are already in Miami. Castro engineered the population to his favor. It's what the left will do here, too, if they can get away with it.

I'm wondering how long before the President-Elect claims credit…

Claim credit or use it as an attempt to build a hotel in Cuba.

I doubt his passing will make much difference in Cuba.  The Communists are in firm control.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
