Universal health care in Cuba has long been the bludgeon Pro-dictator groupies like Code Pink have used to disparage our great nation. 47 years of brutal oppression was according to some a fair trade of for “equal” access to state run medical treatments. Always on top of all things Cuban, Babalu Blog shatters the red dreams of America’s nascent Communists with this story of Castro fleeing his piss poor health care system to seek treatment in Spain, and how good decent people are reacting to this travesty.

Why isn’t Spain offering it’s services to “the People” in Cuba? Could it be that Commies don’t really believe in equality at all? Hmmmm….

Babalu Blog, which is the absolute best blog covering the Communist regime in Cuba, is ralling support for Ahmed Albacia who was arrested by the Cuban overnment for daring to post his views on his MySpace page. The 21 year old was part of a non-profit organization that encourages free expression and world solidarity, two thing which the Communists apparently despise. This is yet another disgusting example of human rights violations by Marxists, and will know doubt be ignored by the Castro loving MSM and Comintern agents like Code Pink and World Can’t Wait.

Babalu Blog has everything you need to be part of the campiagn to free this brave young man who’s fate may quite literally rest on the reaction the internet community. Please stop by and help out, it’ll take less time then it did to read this post.

At least that’s the analysis at Cold Fury of reports coming in from the ground at the Oaxaca as a collection of neo-Communist revolutionaries have started a small scale war in Mexico. “Protesters” are burning cars, destroying buildings and firing what looks like home made rockets at Mexican Police who are getting increasingly more violent as their own casualties mount.

The Oaxaca “uprising” is the first volley of “the Other Campaign”, a program of violence organized by terrorist Sub-commander Marcos aimed at uniting various leftist “resistance movements” to overthrow the Mexican government. It should be of interest to readers that foreign agitators, some from America, are involved in the rioting. One of these agitators, posing as a “film maker”, was killed about a month ago during a clash with the police. Communist web-radicals have since painted the man as a victim of government repression and a martyr to their cause.

Mensa Barbie has links to some of the most gruesome riot videos and some good analysis of the events. U.K. Indymedia, which of course is supportive of this attempted insurgency, has a great pictures and minute by minute updates of the violence. There’s a picture of a rioter rocket launch on their site which to me sums up the situation nicely. They also carry an English translation of Sub-Commander Marcos’ warning of the impending civil war he’s helping to instigate.

The reports Cold Fury’s reacting to our from Mark in Mexico who bravely covers the on going conflict, and its consequences. The insurgency has access to new media, mostly due to the support of armchair revolutionaries and their academic groupies. The most odious sources of pro-chaos propaganda are Nancy Davies’ red lusting fluff pieces on the insurgency at Narco News, and Stalinesque “Truth” factory OaxacaRevolt whose predominately non-Mexican, middle-class home owning authors seem to love the idea of class warfare, as long as it doesn’t effect them.

The main players in the conflict, the APPO, released a statement November 14th (or at least one of their mouth pieces did) claiming they’ve formed a permanent government, but it seems like they meant that in terms of their organization, not as a Shadow Government for Mexico, but to be fair, Cold Fury may know more about this situation then me so I’m willing to take their word for it.

The New York Times is on top of this, and surprisingly not as sympathetic to the lefties as I thought they’d be, although they do claim this is a protest and not an insurgency.
