probably fake

Odd...
He wearing Red White and BLue to boot.

Guess he has a sense of humor.

He is dead... SERIOUS about you donating to Ray Guhn god damn it!

this one is real :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

My :2 cents: is that the photograph of him is very convincing and entirely plausable. I do not beleive that you can dispute the photo with the white edges theory, because it is entirely possible that thats just how it looks. And I scoped out the collar and the edges are ever so slightly lighter. Perhaps there was a television on near him? That could be possible, could it not? As for the edges, everything is very clean, so if it is a photochop, than It was done with somebody who is good. The only thing that I could see that made me suspicious is the fact that some of the items in the newspaper do not line up. If you look very closely 4x and up, you can tell that some of the text does not line up correctly, Most noticeably the logo at the top that looks hand written. It is at a different angle than the top. So, my expert opinion... Photo is plausable, I think it is not a "total chop", but the newspaper in the photo is suspicious. As for the artifacting, thats pretty much how it looks, do it yourself holding a newspaper and you will see. And I assume whoever did this would have not tampered with it after they compressed it... That would just be unprofessional.

i dont think the edges on his collar mean anything either.

anyway.. this very subject was on CNN today and there are a lot of people suggesting its faked. they were pointing to the shadow under his thumb being wrong and so on. the problem with searching for a conspiracy is that they are easy to find and "facts" start becoming very subjective.

pics are real, he has a gray spot of hair where you all think it's chopped.

Looks real to me.

it's real

The pics look real but other than the newspaper there is no way to time stamp them, so they could have been taken at any time well before he was sick. The newspaper looks fake as hell.

I have to admit that I don't know enough about Photoshop to chine in on that......................

BUT:::::: It seems to me that the Newspaper's center crease folds in (toward the pic of Fidel). This would mean that the pic of Fidel would be on the last page of the news paper (?) instead of the Front page. Any newspaper is gonna be folded in a way to expose the front page, when being prepared for the news stand.:2 cents: :2 cents: :2 cents: :2 cents:

They had somehting on the news down here about that

they showed a pic of the newspaper on a reg day and the header with the newspapers name is always in RED

FAKE!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I am not Fidel expert. Never saw him alive, but i can't see photoshop here as well.

Fake I think!

thats is exactly what came to my mind, after watching all those kidnap movies:winkwink:

Agreed....buy I still think there's something fishy about the newspaper

Must be a photochop... this is the real deal

funny!:1orglaugh

That newspaper looks so fukcing fake.

isnt it more like a printsheet than an actual paper? strikes me as odd that the bottom of the page is that blank in an actual newspaper

I just saw him in his hotel room on the TV News, he's kicking fine.
