At long last, the murderer, rapist, thief, and tyrant; Faithful Communist Fidel Castro, is no more. Despite being propped up by moral paragons such as Barack Obama and Justin Trudeau, Fidel’s savage legacy barely lives on, limping on one gangrenous leg; Fidel’s little brother, Raul.

Although the raw numbers of his Soviet mentors (SCORES of millions starved and slaughtered) dwarf Fidel’s bloody achievements, it was not for lack of trying.  Fidel took one of the richest countries, and ground it mercilessly into sadness and degradation.

The people living under his iron fist risked shark-infested waters, floating on plastic bottles lashed together, to give themselves and their children a chance at freedom.

One hopes that the recent U.S. election helped push a fifty-years-overdue demise to the edge.  Perhaps the subsequent appointment, by the President-Elect, of Mr. Mauricio Claver-Carone, to his transition team, struck the final blow.

It will be a long road back to freedom and prosperity.  There must still be a “Scouring of the Shire”.  But the dead hand of Fidel Castro is blowing away in the wind.  G-d willing, Cuba will soon be truly free.

May the name of this tyrant be blotted out, forever.
