Cuban Fauxtos Prove: Fidel Lives!

Just in time for his big birthday bash (he turned 80 Sunday) The above fauxto of Fidel pops up in Juventud Rebelde, a Cuban newspaper wearing an Adidas red, white and blue sweat suit holding a printed page of a recent Cuban newspaper.

Forgive me for being skeptical. But after weeks of Hezbollah propaganda fauxtos being accepted as truth (initially at least) I'm a tad reluctant to endorse the product of Communist "news" editors.

Enlarge the thumbnails from Getty Images to compare Fidel Photos from his July 21 appearance in Argentina for a Latin American trade summit. Here's a comparable profile photo to the shot above. In the shot above, Fidel looks rested with good skin color even the gray in his hair is not as noticeable. A pretty remarkable achievement for someone who underwent serious abdominal surgery.
