Castro: “Nuclear Holocaust” Is Near

Castro speaks to the Cuban parliament for the first time in four years

In his first official government appearance since undergoing emergency intestinal surgery four years ago, former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro warned that a “nuclear holocaust” would happen soon and urged US President Barack Obama against going down that path.

While The Voice of America politely reported that Castro spoke about growing international tensions that could lead the US to launch a nuclear attack against Iran, BBC correspondent Michael Voss, who was at the speech, quoted the Cuban dictator as saying a “nuclear holocaust” would soon happen between the two countries.

“If war breaks out the current social order will suddenly disappear and the price will be infinitely greater,” Castro said.

Voss also said Castro accused the US of planning to attack Iran and North Korea, and urged President Barack Obama to prevent such a conflict from happening.

The Toronto Sun added that Castro said Obama might be forced into a nuclear war if Tehran resisted American and Israeli efforts to enforce international sanctions against it for its nuclear activities.

“Obama wouldn’t give the order if we persuade him [....] we’re making a contribution to this positive effort,” he said.

Castro also said he was sure that China and “the Soviets,” an apparent reference to Russia, did not want a world nuclear war and would work to avoid it.

Speculation on the possibility of an American strike on Iran has increased since Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, said last week that the US has readied a military plan to prevent Iran from going nuclear – but hopes it would not be put to use.

However, the attendance of American Ambassador John Roos at ceremonies marking the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima – the first time a US delegate has been sent in 65 years – has been seen as evidence that Obama wants to further his goal of establishing a world free of nuclear weapons.

The New York Daily News reports that Castro also spoke about captured Cuban spy Gerardo Hernandez, and hoped Hernandez’s wife would be granted a visit or would be released.

Castro has been making almost-daily public appearances since ceding power to his younger brother Raul to undergo emergency intestinal surgery four years ago, but Saturday’s 11-minute speech was his first in a governmental role.

The former Cuban dictator turns 84 next week.

    Yup..But if I were them I wouldn’t count on sitting down too much..or wearing clothing suitable for ‘winter”–it’s likely to get hotter than the devil’s hell where these people who do not/will NOT respond to our Savior’s call. That is the ONLY way that people of this nature who choose to do evil, rejecting Christ at the sacrifice of all God and all God’s creation. Without Christ none will enter into His Holy Presence. Hell is a real destination just as heaven is.

    Here, as an example, are just a few scriptures found in the book of Matthew that speak on the subject of hell’s reality . There are a lot more elsewhere in the Word of the Living God..
    Matthew 8:12
    “But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
    Matthew 13:42
    “And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
    Matthew 13:50
    “And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth
    Matthew 22:13
    “Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
    Matthew 24:51
    “And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
    Matthew 25:30
    “And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
    Luke 13:28
    “There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.”

    Fact is, in 1965 Castro asked Khruschev to use atomic weapons on the US! this has been exposed! HE IS THE ONE WHO KILLED JFK!! A cold blooded mass murderer!

  5. The Great Thruth See says

    Well that's what people keep on pushing and saying over and over but to me it's just another 'false flag' as the real facts are that JFK was taken out because of the following:
