Cuba-A Potantial Island Paradise

The Cuban people are information starved. There is no freedom of the press. There are no newsstands. There is virtually no Internet access. The hotel chambermaids in the modern hotels are the best informed as they are a small minority having access to CNN when cleaning rooms. Ask students, professionals and average citizens about current world events and they are clueless. President Castro's speeches are televised locally and are the primary news source. He spoon feeds the citizens on Cuba's fantasized successes including solving worldwide terrorism, nuclear proliferation, social injustice, sexual slavery, biological terrorism, natural disasters, etc. "Cuban television is the heavy artillery of the revolution" according to President Castro. It enforces the "revolution".
