Ever wonder why the Hollywood-types experience the political version of a wet-dream whenever talking about Cuba or Castro, one of the longest reigning dictators in history? According to the Canada Free Press, the reason that Hollywood loves Fidel Castro is simple: he blackmails them. Actors and directors such as Sean Penn, Jack Nicholson, Steven Spielberg, and Oliver Stone have, throughout the years, only expressed kind words for a regime that has the blood of more than 100,000 on its hands. The regime that put hippies in labor camps has also been using its methods on modern-day hippies, but instead of using rifles, the communist regime uses eavesdropping to threaten celebrities into working for the regime as spokespersons. They send spies to follow them, install hidden cameras, and bug their phones in order to learn their secrets and use this information against them. This report comes from a high-ranking Cuban intelligence defector named Delfin Fernandez and, if true, restores a little faith in celebrities who many of us have thought were either unbelievably unintelligent, incredibly naive, or just plain old communists.

This paranoid and erratic behavior is not uncommon for totalitarian communist dictators. For example, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il, apparently in love with the work of a South Korean director, kidnapped said director and his actress wife and put them to work in the communist state. The dictator Castro is paranoid to the extent that he has bugged the rooms of author and “friend” Gabriel Garcia Marquez and the last pope, John Paul II. The latter one apparently found the eavesdropping devices, probably from extensive experience with different paranoid leaders. When an entire nation is subject to the paranoid and cruel character traits of individuals like this, it’s a recipe for disaster.

It does not make sense to get into bed with these people that actively turn their countries into military camps, develop terrifying weapons, and send spies to infiltrate military bases and intelligence services. These tyrants are even coming after actors and actresses. It isn’t paranoia when they are really coming after you.
