worms belong in the dirt
- I spent several minutes trying to come up with a snappy wormfood/gusano joke, but you nailed it
- Woe is me, I don’t get to leech off of others’ medical conditions anymore
- "She would have undoubtedly made more money had she been allowed to price gouge the sick and dying"
- Embryonic
- Honestly what's the betting that any and all of her public successes were just a product of CIA funding? It's cheap and effective propaganda to make sure whatever business she runs is automatically successful.
Must have made for awkward family reunions
"regime"
- Regime means diet in french, I choose to believe that she really just wanted her brothers to eat healthier.
  
  in Russian режим can also mean "sleep schedule" (short for режим сна), so maybe she wanted them to have a better sleep schedule
RIP bozo
The gusano has returned to its natural habitat, the dirt.
They make this whole narrative about how 'she was in danger as a result of the activities of her brothers', but sneakily fail to state the actual danger she was in was mainly the old Batista regime supporters who might target her.
And further, despite in another article claiming she 'fled' Cuba, she now apparently takes a leisurely 6-12 months between being 'warned' that the Cuban intelligence was after her and taking freely available transport out of the country.
It's clear that the Cuban government never intended to do anything to her, despite working for the most evil government agency. But it's such a spun story.
Why would you do that
The CIA is the most evil organisation to have ever existed and anyone who works for them is always the bad guy.
