Bombing in Gaza

2008-12-29T09:01:00.000-08:00

The ugly face of war, death, destruction man, again these sad scenes in the name of hatred generated by a small group of people whose interests go beyond historical disputes between the two peoples.
The new attack was perpetrated by Israeli forces against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip is closed 2008 with the unwelcome addition of hundreds of civilians dead. Five were killed and thousands injured, but the reality is that these figures are estimates, the numbers are higher. The peoples and governments are manifested repudiating these actions, the streets of major cities around the world are filled with people who wish to realize world peace. Governments attending the UN to exercise its role as arbiter and impose severe penalties on the government of Israel, protected by its unconditional ally, the U.S. government arrested again and again against the Palestinians.
The year 2008 has been qualified as did previous wars unjustified, for mass murder without justification, in Iraq, Palestine and other countries, by the constant threats from the United States declared war against Syria, Iran and the Third Worldwide, the new Cold War that characterizes the United States and the Russian Federation, the only thing that has to shine and makes it unforgettable 2008 Olympic Games are held in Beijing, which showed the world the will of the Chinese government and people in favor of development and world peace.
President Bush does not want to go to the White House while another sad memory. If the government is responsible for Tel Aviv this genocide, it is also the U.S. government, the supplier of nuclear armament and military technology sector. Obama, like all good American political views Israel as an ally and has not expressed opposition to these attacks seem to have that support.
Oil has risen in price, the price stability of less than $ 40 a barrel has been broken. The big capitalists make this festival, the markets of USA and UK and gain profit at the expense of violence.
The Middle East will see the new year 2009 with their people and destroyed hundreds of lifeless bodies in the streets broken by destroy the missiles. The world expects the UN a strong measure against the perpetrators of the slaughter. True has recently allowed the U.S. to take the reins of the case and prevent the rulers of Israel are doomed.
The aggression must stop, our species is in danger and we must together takes action to preserve life on our planet. You have to understand that wars have already gone out of fashion, and those days are over where the men were facing to defend the interests of a minority, the reality is that the world must unite in peace and work together to rebuild our environment and leave our children a safer world.

They arrived in Cuba Pastors for Peace

2008-07-10T07:42:00.000-07:00

The Caravan of Representatives of the Pastors for Peace, U.S., arrived in Havana on Saturday after Washington circumvent obstacles in its efforts to prevent their arrival at the island. Caridad Diego Bello, head of the Office of Religious Affairs of the Central Committee of Communist Party of Cuba, directors of the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples and religious leaders of the largest of the West Indies went to José Martí International Airport to welcome the group . The Reverend Lucius Walker leads the representation, which brings a new solidarity aid to Cuba, despite the obstacles they faced when crossing into Mexican territory by the border Pharr bridge, adjacent to Reynosa. At that point customs of the city state of Tamaulipas, bordering Texas, U.S. agents seized 35 computers, which were part of some 100 tons of cargo, including several vehicles. The members of the nineteenth Friendship Caravan of US-Cuba, in protest, took early passage of a rail car for half an hour in one's own customs control of Pharr, until authorized their entry to Mexico. After they moved to neighbouring port of Tampico to board the humanitarian contribution toward Cuba and, like every year, attended an act of solidarity with the island, in the Plaza de la Libertad of that Mexican city.

Republic of Puerto Rico

2008-06-18T14:13:00.001-07:00

The island of Borinquen suffers from the evil of ill visitors. The Spaniards who arrived five centuries ago are considered by Rene Perez and Eduardo Cabra ill visitors and the "Gringos" 110 years ago worst visitor. Not only do they think so, a people which rejects the presence of the intruders want to be free once and for all. The U.S. government was in Cuba, the Philippines and Puerto Rico after intervening in the war between Cubans and Spaniards organized by José Martí, and launched in 1895 and had its denouement in the bay of the city of Santiago de Cuba, where he was military destroyed the Spanish fleet. The Filipinos had declared them to their colonizers, the Yankees also come into conflict with those excuses and promises. Spain signed the capitulation and instead grant independence for which they fought and died thousands of Cubans and Filipinos in their respective countries gave the Americans the colonies that he remained in americas and Asia. We have been victims of imperialist interested relations since our emergence as a nation. The struggle of Cubans did not cease and achieved at least a republic in 1902, which was not where everyone wanted but at least constituted an important step for the island does not become a star in the constellation more American. In the Philippines died in 10 years over one million in the struggles against the new occupants. Were did the same resistance in Puerto Rico? It had to await the twentieth century react to the boricuas and began fighting. After laws and reforms are aware of the first armed insurrection in 1950, where he rejected the proposed "Commonwealth (ELA)," a condition that has at present. The fight was suffocated with bombings at various locations and the residence of Governor Creole first in Puerto Rico. During that uprising proclaimed full independence of the Republic of Puerto Rico. The struggles of small groups opposed to the status of commonwealth were felt even in the United States itself, few results, but endures the courage and ideas. At present there is a movement that has to constantly check the Americans, I do not understand why, the boricuas be the first to demand their independence, they know that their territory is owned by the gringos and that make and break when they are come in wins. A few weeks ago took a leap aspiring Presidents of USA, giving speech in English, much as if they were to understand, were not even treated as subject to a decent future for the land. It is time that Puerto Rico itself take charge of their destiny, simply being a stage show more than shameful squandering of millions on campaigns and pacotilla when at the same time hundreds of children die by lack of food and medicine. The small patches of the West Indies has its own culture, a language that never bowed Spanish into English, its people is unique, very different from the Americans, people who run the Latino blood in the veins, and cheerful worker, who dreams of a prosperous future and crédula any message, no matter where or who come. Every day are less those who believe in the gringos, the visitors have been worse, pity that there are residents, ill residents who receive him with open arms, and obey your teeth out, making them happy in a land they believe belongs to them . When Puerto Rico will be independent? That will decide what their people, the world expects much from you, no cree en pretexts that can take this good news, Kosovo's independence has created expectations in different places, Catalonia, Basque Country, Northern Ireland, Puerto Rico and other regions fighting for their independence, liberation or autonomy. De Borinquen want independence, a status that does not belong to the Yankees, so that its people will not elect a governor, as is done in the States and for Americans than any president invade that territory with the lies inherent in a campaign Presidential, is intended to be conducted in Puerto Rico presidential elections, leaving a president elected by the people who represent them and feels a table, together with their counterparts in the area to determine the future of the region without the Americans intervene and impose their will by force. Several personalities of American history who have expressed their desire to see Puerto Rico free. Antonio Maceo, one of the official Cubans who fought the Spanish regime in the two war of independence of Cuba said: "When Cuba is independent of the Government seek to be constituted, to permit freedom of Puerto Rico, because I would not surrender slave leaving the sword that portion of americas. " Unfortunately Maceo died in combat in the year 1896, yet the United States had not intervened in the Spanish-Cuban War and Spanish-Filipino, to be alive in 1898 another rooster crows, the history of Puerto Rico was different. Without looking at the past and blame things that were left to do, confident that the future of Puerto Rico depends on their children, that true independence depends on them and not the will of an empire increasingly eager to hold new lands. Booting the shackles imposed by the visitor, who said that visits send in our home?

Washington: No Visas for Cuban Five Wives

2007-09-13T12:07:00.001-07:00

"Once again the US government lies", said the president of the Cuban Parliament, Ricardo Alarcon, during a cultural gala on Wednesday night to celebrate the beginning of an international campaign for the release of Gerardo Hernandez, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez, Ramon Labañino and Rene Gonzalez, internationally known as the Cuban Five, who remain unjustly imprisoned in the United States nine years after they were detained for infiltrating terrorist anti-Cuba organizations based in Florida.

Alarcon was making reference to the announcement made on Wednesday afternoon by the US State Department informing that Olga Salanueva and Adriana Perez had been denied - for the eighth time - visas to visit their husbands Rene Gonzalez and Gerardo Hernandez, respectively.

Regarding the arguments used by the US authorities to deny the visas, Alarcon said: "They lie. These women can not be accused of committing espionage because not even their husbands were".

During the gala, held at the Mella Theater in Havana coinciding with the ninth anniversary of the arrest of the Cuban Five in September 1998, messages in support of the Cuban political prisoners from US actor Danny Glover and writer Alice Walker were read.

The event was also attended by Culture Minister Abel Prieto and relatives of the Cuban Five.

The new international campaign to demand the immediate release of the Cuban heroes will run until October 8.

The case of the Cuban Five

2007-07-10T11:52:00.001-07:00

Claire Bolderson: Well next month, a court in Florida is going to hear an appeal in a case that sums up much about the relationship between the United States and Cuba. Gerardo Hernández and four other Cubans were convicted in Florida in December, 2001 [sic: June, 2001] on a range of charges including trying to obtain U.S. military secrets, spying on Cuban exile groups, and, in Mr. Hernández' case, conspiracy in the deaths of four Cuban-Americans whose planes were shot down by the Cuban government in 1996.

[Gerardo Hernández: is serving a double life sentence, but he argues that all he was trying to do was protect Cuba from what he calls "terrorist groups," anti-Castro organizations based in the U.S. He and his fellow defendants also argue that their trial was unfair because of the anti-Castro mood in Florida where it was held.

In the first-ever media interview given by any of the five prisoners, I spoke to Mr. Hernández on the telephone from his maximum security prison in Victorville, California, and asked him to explain his story from the beginning.

[Claire Bolderson: Mr Hernandez, I know there has been a lot of concern about your treatment in prison and the time you spent a while ago in solitary confinement. Can you describe for me how you are being treated now, what the conditions are for you in prison?]

[Gerardo Hernández: Well, I'm a regular inmate in a US penitentiary and I would say that the worst part of my treatment has not to do with the prison but with the government of the US. I would say that the worst part of my imprisonment is that I haven't been able to see my wife for the last ten years, because the US government doesn't grant a visa to her to come to visit me. That's one of the things, and I would say that for the rest of the things, you know, it's a prison and I am an inmate like every other and it's not easy to be an inmate, but I'm doing alright.]

[Claire Bolderson: Are you saying then that you have had no family visits at all?]

[Gerardo Hernández: Well, I have received some family visits - my mother and sister have been able to come, but in the case of my wife, my wife of nineteen years, she hasn't been able to come to visit me because she has been constantly denied a visa to come. So I haven't been able to see her for the last ten years.]

CB: [You were convicted on a number of counts, including one of them was trying to obtain US military secrets, by trying to infiltrate a base, and for acting as an unregistered agent for a foreign government.] Can you explain to us what you were doing in Florida in the first place?

Gerardo Hernández: Well in the first place, I was gathering information on terrorist groups that used to operate in Florida with total impunity. [They are people that have got training camps there and paramilitary organisations and they go to Cuba and commit sabotage, bombs and all kinds of aggressions. And as I told you, they have had impunity.] So at a certain point Cuba decided to send some people to gather information on those groups and send it back to Cuba to prevent those actions. And in 1998, Cuba passed to the FBI some information regarding those groups, hoping that the FBI would do something against them. And unfortunately, what they did was arrest the people that had gathered that information. [As for the military part, I was charged with conspiracy to commit espionage, and that was because there wasn't espionage at all. In our trial that lasted seven months, there were three or four retired generals from the US army who testified that there was nothing related to espionage in this case, but since the trial was in Miami and we couldn't have a fair trial. We were found guilty, but I reiterate that it was a conspiracy because the government said, "Wait a minute - they didn't commit espionage, but they would have tried to commit it sometime," so that's the conspiracy to commit espionage, but not a single piece of secret information, nothing related to the national security of the US was gathered or transmitted.]

CB: But you do acknowledge that you were working as an agent for a foreign government, and in one of your defense statements you do say that you were working with false documents, false identity documents?

GH: Yes, I do acknowlege that.

[CB: But that's quite a serious thing to have been doing then, isn't it?]

GH: [Yes, it is,] but there is something called "necessity defense," that says that if [in order to prevent a wrongdoing], in order to prevent crime you have to violate a law, you can understand that. In my case, yes I had fake I.D., I was working for foreign government, but not to affect the U.S. interests, but to defend Cuban interests, to defend the Cuban people from terrorism.

CB: And the crimes you were trying to stop, what exactly were they, the crimes?

GH: Well, for example, in 1997, a bomb exploded in a Cuban hotel and killed [Fabio Di Celmo], an Italian tourist. And in 1976, as you know, a bomb exploded in a Cuban airplane and killed 73 people. And that's only two examples of terrorist acts committed against Cuba. Anybody who lives in Miami, [who see the TV, the local TV station or radio station] they know what Comandos F-4 is, and they know what Alpha 66 is [and they know what Brothers to the Rescue is.]

[CB: And what are those, can you explain to me, what are those names?]

GH: [Yes, they used to be called paramilitary groups. I call them terrorist groups.] They have got training camps in the Everglades, they dress in camouflage, and have weapons, and they train for the day they're going to "liberate Cuba." They used to go to Cuba in boats and fire at Cuban buildings and they tried to organize an internal sabotage and all kind of actions. [That is public record - you check the Miami newspapers, you can see that. You can see that they get involved and go to Cuba and do some shootings and they go back and are received like heroes and, for example, in our trial, we presented some witnesses, we subpoenaed the Coast Guard and we subpoenaed the FBI and we presented the evidence of the impunity that these people have. We asked, for example, to a Coast Guard official, "Is it true that this day you intercepted a group that was heading to Cuba with some weapons and explosives?" "Yes, it is true." "Is it true that you just took the weapons and freed the guys?" "Yes." "Why?" "Well, because they said that they were fishing for lobsters." Something like that happened in our trial and it's not a single case - there's a long record of terrorist aggressions against my country. So the Cuban people have the right to defend themselves against terrorist actions.] Hopefully the U.S. government and the U.S. authorities will do something, because they say they have a war against terrorists, but why are you going to allow those terrorists to operate freely in Miami? [Recently, just a month ago, the guy who masterminded the bomb on the Cuban airplane that killed 73 people, he was set free and he's free now in Miami.]

CB: There is one very contentious charge on which you were convicted and the reason why you are serving such a long sentence – the shooting down by Cuba of two civilian planes from the United States in 1996. Did you have any role connected to that?

GH: No, absolutely not. [But you have to understand what really happened. The person leading those planes is called José Basulto, he was a CIA operative in the '60s, he was infiltrated into Cuba to do sabotage. After that, in 1962, he went back to Cuba from Florida in a boat and he fired a cannon against a Cuban hotel, went back to Miami and was received like a hero. And he has a long history of terrorism against Cuba, and at some point in his life he said "Alright, I'm going to be a humanitarian now, I want to get this small plane and fly inside Cuba with no permission at all and drop leaflets and propaganda," and he did it, like, sixteen times. And Cuba sent to the US sixteen diplomatic notes, which were presented in our trial, complaining to the U.S. and saying, "Hey, these people are violating international laws, U.S. laws, Cuban laws." The Cuban MIGs used to take off and escort those people out and Cuba used to say "Hey, don't do it anymore, you are putting in danger our own aviation, our population, everything."]

[CB: That may have been wrong, and I'm sure there have been many diplomatic arguments about it, but what I'm interested in is what you did about it?]

GH: [Nothing!] I was in Miami and the plane was shot down in Cuban waters, a long way away [from me].

CB: So you didn't pass any information that would have helped the Cuban government to shoot down the planes?

GH: No, of course not. If you go to the records of those times, you will see that José Basulto announced way before the trip, he said "we are going there on February 24." Everybody knew that. [We presented in our trial a memorandum from the U.S. government, one agency, the Federal Aviation Agency, telling their people "Hey, he's going to do that on February 24th, we are concerned that something is going to happen, because Cuba already said if they do it again, they're going to be shot down, so we'd better have all the ducks in a row," that's actually what the memo said. So everybody was expecting that something would happen, we even in our trial, Richard Nuccio, the former advisor to President Clinton, he was at the trial and said, "Yeah, that organisation was out of control." There is a long dispute over the incident and Cuba says they shot the planes inside Cuban waters according to Cuban radar, the U.S. says that one plane was in Cuban waters but the two that were shot down were heading there but in international waters.] And the government charged me for conspiracy, and they said that is because I knew that the plane would be shot down, and because I knew that the plane would be shot down over international waters, which has no sense at all. It's something crazy, but they need to blame somebody and they chose me.

CB: You have an appeal coming up. What will be the grounds for your appeal?

GH: [Well, we have different issues in our appeal. The main issue, which we really wanted and unfortunately was reversed, is a venue issue -] We argued that the trial wasn't fair in Miami. Our trial lasted over seven months and there were over 100 witnesses. The jury deliberated a few hours and they didn't ask a single question. They just found us guilty on every single count, and then the judge gave us the highest sentence possible on every count.

CB: And you say that that is because of the influence of the Cuban exile community in Florida?

GH: Yes, of course. During the trial there were all kind of irregularities, to call it like that. People were filming the jurors, and following the jurors, the press was following the jurors to their cars, and there were riots or some kind of protest in front of the courts, all kind of things. [Also the press was really rough with us.]

CB: So you think the jury was intimidated, or even tampered with? Was it as serious as that?

GH: I believe the jury was intimidated. Anybody who lives in Miami or who knows what is going on there would understand that nothing related to Cuba is normal in Miami. [Right now, for example, a book has been taken off the shelves in Miami, taken out of schools, just because on the cover there are some Cuban kids smiling and looking happy. It's a book for kids named "Let's Go to Cuba" and they just pulled it out because of that, because there is a phrase in the book that says, "Cuban kids study and live like you," something like that, and just because of that - and everybody that knows the history of Miami knows that people have been killed just because they want a better relation with Cuba. I mean, I can tell you about the Replica magazine that was bombed like seven times because they advocate for better relations with Cuba. People in Miami - you have to live there to understand. Most American people don't even have an idea of what is going on in Miami, it's like another country.]

CB: Cuban leader Fidel Castro in the past has taken quite an interest in your case and he's spoken on your behalf. Have you heard from him directly at all?

GH: Well I had the opportunity to talk to him by phone on his birthday two years ago. [It was something I didn't expect, I just called my wife that day because it was also my friend René González's birthday. And our families happened to be with him. So when I found out I told my wife, "Please, t ell him happy birthday from me," and then he said, "Oh, hold on one second, I want him to tell me," so I had the chance to talk to him for a few minutes, which was a great experience for me, of course.]

CB: And what did he say?

GH: Well he said that he's confident that justice will prevail because he has always been confident that when the American people find out about what has been done in our case, when the American people find out the truth about our case, justice will prevail. Everybody is confident on that.

Message from the Cuban Five to the US Social Forum

2007-07-03T01:23:00.000-07:00

Gerardo Hernandez sent a message on behalf of the Cuban Five to participants and organizers of the United States Social Forum which closed in Atlanta on Sunday: "Your cause is our cause and we know that with people like you, the future will be one of justice and peace. A better world is possible! Venceremos!"
Dear participants and organizers of the Atlanta Social Forum,
Please receive a warm greeting from Five Cubans who are serving long and injustice sentences in US prisons for defending our country against terrorism.
Many of you are coming to Atlanta from all over the country and from abroad to share your experiences and to seek a more just world.
From inside the prisons, we have been following the just struggles that all of you are involved in, from immigrant rights, to women’s equality, to working towards a safe environment, to the struggle against racism and discrimination, and to end the war and occupation of Iraq and elsewhere. You can be sure that all of your efforts only make our admiration for you grow.
Since 1998 we have been hostages of the failed US policy toward our country, Cuba. When we were arrested, no guns or explosives were found in our apartments, we never hurt anyone; yet, we have been sentenced collectively to four live sentences plus 75 years. Cuba like any other people of the world has the right to defend itself against terrorism. And that is exactly what we were doing. We were monitoring terrorist organizations based in Miami to prevent more violent actions against our homeland. Since 1959, almost 3,500 Cubans have been killed and many more have been disabled.
While the world has been pushed towards a so-called "war on terror", just last month, a notorious terrorist of Cuban origin, Luis Posada Carriles was freed. Another one, Orlando Bosch, his partner in crime is walking free in the streets of Miami. These two dangerous terrorists were the masterminds in the blowing up of a Cuban plane in 1976. Seventy-three innocent people were killed. The fact that crimes like that still lingers with no justice is a sign that we still have a long struggle in the world we live in.
Dear compañeras and compañeros, we wish you a great success in the Atlanta Social Forum. Your cause is our cause and we know that with people like you, the future will be one of justice and peace
A better world is possible!
Venceremos!

THE KILLING MACHINE

2007-07-03T01:21:00.000-07:00

Sunday is a good day to read something that would appear to be science fiction.
It was announced that the CIA would be declassifying hundreds of pages on illegal actions that included plans to eliminate the leaders of foreign governments. Suddenly the publication is halted and it is delayed one day. No coherent explanation was given. Perhaps someone in the White House looked over the material.
The first package of declassified documents goes by the name of "The Family Jewels"; it consists of 702 pages on illegal CIA actions between 1959 and 1973. About 100 pages of this part have been deleted. It deals with actions that were not authorized by any law, plots to assassinate other leaders, experiments with drugs on human beings to control their minds, spying on civil activists and journalists, among other similar activities that were expressly prohibited.
The documents began to be gathered together 14 years after the first of the events took place, when then CIA director, James Schlessinger became alarmed about what the press was writing, especially all the articles by Robert Woodward and Carl Bernstein published in The Washington Post, already mentioned in the "Manifesto to the People of Cuba". The agency was being accused of promoting spying in the Watergate Hotel with the participation of its former agents Howard Hunt and James McCord.
In May 1973, the Director of the CIA was demanding that "all the main operative officials of this agency must immediately inform me on any ongoing or past activity that might be outside of the constituting charter of this agency". Schlessinger, later appointed Head of the Pentagon, had been replaced by William Colby. Colby was referring to the documents as "skeletons hiding in a closet". New press revelations forced Colby to admit the existence of the reports to interim President Gerald Ford in 1975. The New York Times was denouncing agency penetration of antiwar groups. The law that created the CIA prevented it from spying inside the United States.
That "was just the tip of the iceberg", said then Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.
Kissinger himself warned that "blood would flow" if other actions were known, and he immediately added: "For example, that Robert Kennedy personally controlled the operation for the assassination of Fidel Castro". The President’s brother was then Attorney General of the United States. He was later murdered as he was running for President in the 1968 elections, which facilitated Nixon's election for lack of a strong candidate. The most dramatic thing about the case is that apparently he had reached the conviction that John Kennedy had been victim of a conspiracy. Thorough investigators, after analyzing the wounds, the caliber of the shots and other circumstances surrounding the death of the President, reached the conclusion that there had been at least three shooters. Solitary Oswald, used as an instrument, could not have been the only shooter. I found that rather striking. Excuse me for saying this but fate turned me into a shooting instructor with a telescopic sight for all the Granma expeditionaries. I spent months practicing and teaching, every day; even though the target is a stationary one it disappears from view with each shot and so you need to look for it all over again in fractions of a second.
Oswald wanted to come through Cuba on his trip to the USSR. He had already been there before. Someone sent him to ask for a visa in our country’s embassy in Mexico but nobody knew him there so he wasn’t authorized. They wanted to get us implicated in the conspiracy. Later, Jack Ruby, --a man openly linked to the Mafia-- unable to deal with so much pain and sadness, as he said, assassinated him, of all places, in a precinct full police agents.
Subsequently, in international functions or on visits to Cuba, on more than one occasion I met with the aggrieved Kennedy relatives, who would greet me respectfully. The former president’s son, who was a very small child when his father was killed, visited Cuba 34 years later. We met and I invited him to dinner.
The young man, in the prime of his life, and well brought up, tragically died in an airplane accident on a stormy night as he was flying to Martha’s Vineyard with his wife. I never touched on the thorny issue with any of those relatives. In contrast, I pointed out that if the president-elect had then been Nixon instead of Kennedy, after the Bay of Pigs disaster we would have been attacked by the land and sea forces escorting the mercenary expedition, and both countries would have paid a high toll in human lives. Nixon would not have limited himself to saying that victory has many fathers and defeat is an orphan. For the record, Kennedy was never too enthusiastic about the Bay of Pigs adventure; he was led there by Eisenhower’s military reputation and the recklessness of his ambitious vice-president.
I remember that, exactly on the day and minute he was assassinated, I was speaking in a peaceful spot outside of the capital with French journalist Jean Daniel. He told me that he was bringing a message from President Kennedy. He said to me that in essence he had told him: "You are going to see Castro. I would like to know what he thinks about the terrible danger we just experienced of a thermonuclear war. I want to see you again as soon as you get back." "Kennedy was very active; he seemed to be a political machine", he added, and we were not able to continue talking as someone rushed in with the news of what had just happened. We turned on the radio. What Kennedy thought was now pointless.
Certainly I lived with that danger. Cuba was both the weakest part and the one that would take the first strike, but we did not agree with the concessions that were made to the United States. I have already spoken of this before.
Kennedy had emerged from the crisis with greater authority. He came to recognize the enormous sacrifices of human lives and material wealth made by the Soviet people in the struggle against fascism. The worst of the relations between the United States and Cuba had not yet occurred by April 1961. When he hadn’t resigned himself to the outcome of the Bay of Pigs, along came the Missile Crisis. The blockade, economic asphyxiation, pirate attacks and assassination plots multiplied. But the assassination plots and other bloody occurrences began under the administration of Eisenhower and Nixon.
After the Missile Crisis we would have not refused to talk with Kennedy, nor would we have ceased being revolutionaries and radical in our struggle for socialism. Cuba would have never severed relations with the USSR as it had been asked to do. Perhaps if the American leaders had been aware of what a war could be using weapons of mass destruction they would have ended the Cold War earlier and differently. At least that’s how we felt then, when there was still no talk of global warming, broken imbalances, the enormous consumption of hydrocarbons and the sophisticated weaponry created by technology, as I have already said to the youth of Cuba. We would have had much more time to reach, through science and conscience, what we are today forced to realize in haste.
President Ford decided to appoint a Commission to investigate the Central Intelligence Agency. "We do not want to destroy the CIA but to preserve it", he said.
As a result of the Commission’s investigations that were led by Senator Frank Church, President Ford signed an executive order which expressly prohibited the participation of American officials in the assassinations of foreign leaders.
The documents published now disclose information about the CIA-Mafia links for my assassination.
Details are also revealed about Operation Chaos, carrying on from 1969 for at least seven years, for which the CIA created a special squadron with the mission to infiltrate pacifist groups and to investigate "the international activities of radicals and black militants". The Agency compiled more than 300,000 names of American citizens and organizations and extensive files on 7,200 persons.
According to The New York Times, President Johnson was convinced that the American anti-War movement was controlled and funded by Communist governments and he ordered the CIA to produce evidence.
The documents recognize, furthermore, that the CIA spied on various journalists like Jack Anderson, performers such as Jane Fonda and John Lennon, and the student movements at Columbia University. It also searched homes and carried out tests on American citizens to determine the reactions of human beings to certain drugs.
In a memorandum sent to Colby in 1973, Walter Elder who had been executive assistant to John McCone, CIA Director in the early 1970s, gives information about discussions in the CIA headquarters that were taped and transcribed: "I know that whoever worked in the offices of the director were worried about the fact that these conversations in the office and on the phone were transcribed. During the McCone years there were microphones in his regular offices, the inner office, the dining room, the office in the East building, and in the study of his home on White Haven Street. I don’t know if anyone is ready to talk about this, but the information tends to be leaked, and certainly the Agency is vulnerable in this case".
The secret transcripts of the CIA directors could contain a great number of "jewels". The National Security Archive is already requesting these transcripts.
A memo clarifies that the CIA had a project called OFTEN which would collect "information about dangerous drugs in American companies", until the program was terminated in the fall of 1972. In another memo there are reports that manufacturers of commercial drugs "had passed" drugs to the CIA which had been "refused due to adverse secondary effects".
As part of the MKULTRA program, the CIA had given LSD and other psycho-active drugs to people without their knowledge. According to another document in the archive, Sydney Gottlieb, a psychiatrist and head of chemistry of the Agency Mind Control Program, is supposedly the person responsible for having made available the poison that was going to be used in the assassination attempt on Patrice Lumumba.
CIA employees assigned to MHCHAOS –the operation that carried out surveillance on American opposition to the war in Vietnam and other political dissidents –expressed "a high level of resentment" for having been ordered to carry out such missions.
Nonetheless, there is a series of interesting matters revealed in these documents, such as the high level at which the decisions for actions against our country were taken.
The technique used today by the CIA to avoid giving any details is not the unpleasant crossed out bits but the blank spaces, coming from the use of computers.
For The New York Times, large censored sections reveal that the CIA still cannot expose all the skeletons in its closets, and many activities developed in operations abroad, checked over years ago by journalists, congressional investigators and a presidential commission, are not in the documents.
Howard Osborn, then CIA Director of Security, makes a summary of the "jewels" compiled by his office. He lists eight cases –including the recruiting of the gangster Johnny Roselli for the coup against Fidel Castro –but they crossed out the document that is in the number 1 place on Osborn’s initial list: two and a half pages.
"The No. 1 Jewel of the CIA Security Offices must be very good, especially since the second one is the list for the program concerning the assassination of Castro by Roselli," said Thomas Blanton, director of the National Security Archive who requested the declassification of "The Family Jewels" 15 years ago under the Freedom of Information Act.
It is notable that the administration which has declassified the least information in the history of the United States, and which has even started a process of reclassifying information that was previously declassified, now makes the decision to make these revelations.
I believe that such an action could be an attempt to present an image of transparency when the government is at an all time low rate of acceptance and popularity, and to show that those methods belong to another era and are no longer in use. When he announced the decision, General Hayden, current CIA Director, said: "The documents offer a look at very different times and at a very different Agency."
Needless to say that everything described here is still being done, only in a more brutal manner and all around the planet, including a growing number of illegal actions within the very United States.
The New York Times wrote that intelligence experts consulted expressed that the revelation of the documents is an attempt to distract attention from recent controversies and scandals plaguing the CIA and an Administration that is living through some of its worst moments of unpopularity.
The declassification could also be an attempt at showing, in the early stages of the electoral process that the Democratic administrations were as bad, or worse, than Mr. Bush’s.
In pages 11 to 15 of the Memo for the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, we can read:
"In August 1960, Mr. Richard M. Bissell approached Colonel Sheffield Edwards with the objective of determining whether the Security Office had agents who could help in a confidential mission that required gangster-style action. The target of the mission was Fidel Castro.
"Given the extreme confidentiality of the mission, the project was known only to a small group of people. The Director of the Central Intelligence Agency was informed and he gave it his approval. Colonel J. C. King, Head of the Western Hemisphere Division, was also informed, but all the details were deliberately concealed from officials of Operation JMWAVE. Even though some officials of Communications (Commo) and the Technical Services Division (TSD) took part in initial planning phases, they were not aware of the mission's purpose.
"Robert A. Maheu was contacted, he was informed in general terms about the project, and he was asked to evaluate whether he could get access to gangster-type elements as a first step for achieving the desired goal.
"Mr. Maheu informed that he had met with a certain Johnny Roselli on several occasions while he was visiting Las Vegas. He had only met him informally through clients, but he had been told that he was a member of the upper echelons of the 'syndicate' and that he was controlling all the ice machines on the Strip. In Maheu's opinion, if Roselli was in effect a member of the Clan, he undoubtedly had connections that would lead to the gambling racket in Cuba.
"Maheu was asked to get close to Roselli, who knew that Maheu was a public relations executive looking after national and foreign accounts, and tell him that recently he had been contracted by a client who represented several international business companies, which were suffering enormous financial losses in Cuba due to Castro. They were convinced that the elimination of Castro would be a solution to their problem and they were ready to pay $ 150,000 for a successful outcome. Roselli had to be made perfectly aware of the fact that the U.S. government knew nothing, nor could it know anything, about this operation.
"This was presented to Roselli on September 14, 1960 in the Hilton Plaza Hotel of New York City. His initial reaction was to avoid getting involved but after Maheu’s persuasive efforts he agreed to present the idea to a friend, Sam Gold, who knew "some Cubans". Roselli made it clear that he didn’t want any money for his part in all this, and he believed that Sam would do likewise. Neither of these people was ever paid with Agency money.
"During the week of September 25, Maheu was introduced to Sam who was living at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. It was not until several weeks after meeting Sam and Joe –who was introduced as courier operating between Havana and Miami –that he saw photos of these two individuals in the Sunday section of Parade. They were identified as Momo Salvatore Giancana and Santos Trafficante, respectively. Both were on the Attorney General’s list of the ten most wanted. The former was described as the boss of the Cosa Nostra in Chicago and Al Capone's heir, and the latter was the boss of Cuban operations of the Cosa Nostra. Maheu immediately called this office upon learning this information.
"After analyzing the possible methods to carry out this mission, Sam suggested that they not resort to firearms but that, if they could get hold of some kind of deadly pill, something to be put into Castro’s food or drink, this would be a much more effective operation. Sam indicated that he had a possible candidate in the person of Juan Orta, a Cuban official who had been receiving bribery payments in the gambling racket, and who still had access to Castro and was in a financial bind.
"The TSD (Technical Services Division) was requested to produce 6 highly lethal pills.
"Joe delivered the pills to Orta. After several weeks of attempts, Orta appears to have chickened out and he asked to be taken off the mission. He suggested another candidate who made several unsuccessful."
Everything that was said in the numerous paragraphs above is in quotes. Observe well, dear readers, the methods that were already being used by the United States to rule the world.
I remember that during the early years of the Revolution, in the offices of the National Institute for Agrarian Reform, there was a man working there with me whose name was Orta, who had been linked to the anti-Batista political forces. He was a respectful and serious man. But, it could only be him. The decades have gone by and I see his name once more in the CIA report. I can’t lay my hands on information to immediately prove what happened to him. Accept my apologies if I involuntarily have offended a relative or a descendent, whether the person I have mentioned is guilty or not.
The empire has created a veritable killing machine that is made up not only of the CIA and its methods. Bush has established powerful and expensive intelligence and security super-structures, and he has transformed all the air, sea and land forces into instruments of world power that take war, injustice, hunger and death to any part of the globe, in order to educate its inhabitants in the exercise of democracy and freedom. The American people are gradually waking up to this reality.
"You cannot fool all of the people all of the time", said Lincoln.

A CHAIN OF ACCUSATIONS OF TERRORISM

2007-07-03T01:20:00.001-07:00

Luis Clemente Posada Carriles, born in Cienfuegos, Cuba in 1928, is considered a terrorist, due his participation (as the mastermind) in the terrorist bombing of Cubana de Aviacion flight 455, on October 6, 1976.
Posada Carriles is also credited as the organizer of a series of bomb attacks in 1997 against hotels in Havana. He was a member of the US Army, and a career police official in Venezuela. He was a key figure in the supply network to the Nicaraguan contras (1985-86) from Ilopango airport and later an advisor to the government of Jose Napoleon Duarte.

Posada Carriles was the Personal Advisor of Napoleon Duarte

2007-07-03T01:19:00.000-07:00

The following are excerpts from an extensive article in El Mundo newspaper of El Salvador on Luis Posada Carriles, a Cuban-born, naturalized Venezuelan who resides freely in Miami, Florida but is wanted in Venezuela for several deadly crimes including a plane bombing that killed 73 persons:
The presence of Luis Posada Carriles in El Salvador as well as Central America nations is generating a controversy since he was involved in series of terrorist attacks against the Castro regime. However, in previous times, the Cuban-born terrorist was a personal advisor of two ex presidents: Jose Napoleon Duarte (1984-1989) in El Salvador and Vinicio Cerezo (1986-1990) in Guatemala.
Posada confessed his personal relationship with both ex-presidents during a secret interview made by FBI special agents at the US Embassy in Tegucigalpa, Honduras on February 7, 1992. The document that was marked "secret" for many years was recently declassified.
The Cuban arrived to El Salvador in 1985, from the Caribbean island of Aruba, thanks to a private flight arranged for him by veteran CIA official, Felix Rodriguez.
The aircraft used was a small Cessna 310 twin engine plane that made stopovers in Panama and Costa Rica on its flight to El Salvador, stated Posada in his book "The path of the guerrilla fighter."
When he arrived in El Salvador, an associate of Rodriguez, who is only identified in the document as a "Captain Leiva", and in Posada’s book as "Captain Roberto Leiva", provided him with several false IDs (including driver’s license and military identification) under the name of Ramon Medina Rodriguez, one of the aliases used by Posada.
Later Posada joined the network of military support for the Nicaraguan "contra" rebel forces (the peasant anti-Sandinista guerrillas), from a base located at the Ilopango military airport and with the complicity of the Salvadorian Air Force, states the testimony.
Posada identifies as one of his closest collaborators General Juan Rafael Bustillo, who at that time was the head of the air force, but he assures that Bustillo didn’t know his real identity.
The operation didn’t last long. The downing in Nicaragua of one of the aircraft used by the network provoked the end of the illegal shipments and the unleashing of a political scandal in the Unites States, to be known later as "Iran-Contras." That’s the known history.
After the scandal, Posada kept a low profile and spent three months at the Xanadu beach resort-ranch, in a beautiful private zone near EL Sunzal. There he lived from his savings, he told to the FBI. During the supply operation to the contras, he had earned between $6,000 and $7,000 USD a month, plus free housing, a car and gasoline.
Shortly afterwards, Posada would begin to work as an advisor to the now defunct Policia Nacional (National Police) thanks to the fact that he knew Hermes or Hernan Rojas, one of the Venezuelans that had come into the country to advise the government of Jose Napoleon Duarte on security matters.
The chief of the group of Venezuelan advisors was Victor Rivera (Zacarias) a dark figure that later would be investigating kidnappings in the country, and that has been mentioned in the case of the policemen that assassinated members of the Salvadorian Parliament in Guatemala last February. Posada and Rivera didn’t get along well; so when Rivera leaves the country in the middle of a scandal; Rojas arrives and gives him a job.
The National Police paid Posada about $2,000 USD a month, plus free housing, a car and gasoline. Soon Posada became important and reached a high profile, meeting with the then Minister of Interior at his home to deal with the solution of high level cases.
According to Posada, Duarte called him to his house and made him his personal advisor. The president ordered that he be provided with bodyguards because he was investigating the political assassinations attributed to the far right.
That led to Posada becoming "highly visible" again and he had to go to Guatemala, where another Christian democrat was governing: Marco Vinicio Cerezo Arevalo (today a member of parliament).
Posada left El Salvador in 1989, (when Duarte had already left power) to work as security chief for the state telephone enterprise Guatel. A short time afterwards he became Cerezo’s investigations personal advisor.
But on February 28, 1990, Posada suffered an attack on Vista Hermosa Boulevard of the capital of Guatemala, where he is badly wounded.
It was precisely Cerezo who paid the bills of the El Pilar Hospital and then Posada departs to Honduras, where his track was lost. Later he would reappear in El Salvador, where his presence became public in 1997, when he hired two Salvadorian mercenaries —Raul Ernesto Cruz Leon, and Otto Rodriguez Llerena— to plant bombs in Cuba.
Jose Napoleon Duarte, who was president of El Salvador between 1984 and 1989, had Luis Posada Carriles as his personal advisor in security matters. He had assigned him with the job of investigating the political crimes supposedly attributed to the extreme right wing or "death squads."
Marco Vinicio Cerezo Arevalo, governed Guatemala between 1986 and 1990. Also a Christian democrat as Duarte, he hired Posada Carriles to be his personal advisor on security matters.

THE CASE OF THE FIVE PUTS IN RIDICULOUS THE NORTH AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY.

2007-05-21T05:50:00.001-07:00

In 1998 they stopped and they condemned five Cubans, they were accused of espionage and conspiracy. They were in North American territory, in the state of the Florida noticing to the Cuban authorities on plans of attacks against Cuba that it were planned in Miami.

The Five were inserted as agents in contrarrevolutionaries groups whose business is the terror, the smuggling and the violence.
They informed on the attacks not only planned against Cuba, but against other countries of Latin America and against the own United States of America. The juridical system of that country accuses them to spy to the defense system, to plan and to conspire in attacks and murders inside that territory.
Before this sad and sultry tragicomedy orchestrated wrongly in Miami around the case of the five Cuban prisoners, it is opportune to make several reflections.
Historically the different governments from the United States have dedicated resources and attention to what happens outside of their frontiers, and for it they still have an army of spies; many of them have been immortalized in films and have also been reason of political scandals. After the attacks of September 11 2001 and of the supposed war against the terrorism, the White House besides to create an office of surveillance and to qualify to more than 60 countries of the Third World like Terrorist Nations, it mobilized toward those countries to several spies to detect plans that attempt against the national security of United States. Something similar they were making the five Cubans, they alerted Cuba on the terrorist acts that will make, saving this way several human lives.
The espionage accusation stops to make sense when it is analyzed the popularization and propaganda that give the North Americans to its military arsenal. It was accused Ramón, Gerardo, Antonio, René and Fernando of toasting to Cuba military information that the Army of United States (USARMY) it considers secret. The accusation leaned on in they offered information on the exact geographical position of the military base located in Small Mouth, Key West, Florida. But it is that the maps, pamphlets and other articles that contain this type of information are sold and they give as souvenirs in that town. The informations and military data of the United States are accessible in Internet, they are not necessary the spies to know how many airplanes and how many military bases are in certain state, because all this in the Net.

There are more arguments to reach the conclusion that the Five are innocent. The condemnations that they illegally complete are unjustified. Cuba began the war against the terrorism before the White House made its announcement of war against any dark corner of the planet and the Five are evidence of that affirmed. After the attacks that put an end to the Italian tourist's life Fabio di Celmo, those types of attacks with bombs directed from Miami have diminished.
The query is open and it exhorts to the analysis.

Twelve sacred nautical miles

2007-05-21T05:50:00.000-07:00

The twelve nautical miles that belong to the Cuban territory are sacred. The North Americans and the terrorist mafia of Miami know it and it is for that reason that after the Victory of the Revolution they have invaded it, demonstrating hate and conflicting pretenses between Cuba and United States.
Countless are the boats pirates that have strafed fishing towns in the Cuban costs. One of the remembered facts was the one happened in the community of Mouth of Samá, where a quick boat coming from the United States shot in the night against the houses and the confused population, causing dead and wounded. In the decades of the 60 and 70 of the previous century it were regular in the Cuban newspapers the kidnappings and murders that pirates coming from United States made fishing ships and fishermen, even, merchant ships have been objectives of these piracy acts and terrorism.
It has been demonstrated that those responsible for these acts are the terrorist organizations resided in Miami, "Siblings to the Rescue" that next to their similar ones "Alpha… and "Omega… they plan this type of actions, besides the traffic of drugs, weapons and people.
Cuba one has seen in the necessary obligation of putting an end to the provocations and attacks that cause the pain to the Cuban family from the Florida. It was alerted and noticed to the North American authorities on these facts. The organizations responsible for the air and marine traffic of both countries reached agreements. Daily they fly on the Cuban air space more than a hundred North American airplanes, and to prohibit him the step for the Cuban skies would be more than ridiculous, an injustice.
February of 1996, 24 the grouping "Hermanos al Resacte" violated, as they had made it in previous occasions, the Cuban air space. In one of their scandalous campaigns, violating agreements and international norms, besides entering in the calm Havana sky with noisy light planes property of the mentioned grouping steering posters that called to the civil disobedience rushed.
The Cuban government after to alert and to notice to the passengers that they left Cuban territory, and not to receive answer aware of the invaders was forced to take measures and to act vigorously. One of the light planes was demolished, dying their passengers. This fact was disclosed by the United States to the world in other versions, they as the offended and harmed, as always it happens, but in countless occasions they have been demonstrated who are the responsible ones and accomplices.
Those costs and sky that are watched over constantly by the eternal sentries of the Island of Cuba, won't be violated unpunishedly by those that seek from United States to implant the mourning in the Cuban family.

Posada Carriles

2007-05-10T14:20:00.000-07:00

Posada Carriles is one of the connoted terrorists in our continent and I dare to affirm that the man that more acts against our revolution have carried out from the same beginnings of our country like free nation. After their liberation, our town has manifested its incomplete disagreement, because we demand him to be judged and it is condemned by the murder of numerous people. Once again "our neighbor of the North" it shows that their true objective is to harass our revolution without caring the road neither the means. I speak for the hundred of relatives that still hurted by the lost of dear beings they demand imprisonment for the terrorist.
The liberation of Posada Carriles is only another evidence of the dirt and the present lies in the government from United States. I believe that for the world it is not a secret that like the song says * The terrorists already have cave the yank boss he/she made them to him *. Do we want more evidence than this?, do I believe that not, they only know how to blaspheme, they are really those that support terrorists of the kind of Posada Carriles that is only one of those so many that cause death and suffering to innocent peoples, as ours.

The case of Posada Carriles

2007-05-10T14:19:00.000-07:00

Now days if we will comment about the case of Posada Carriles one cannot stop mentioning the government of the United States. Along the history this government had demonstrated their false position with regard to the fight against the terrorism. The different shift administrations in this country change their current president's picture but the objectives continue being the same one. How is a president capable of declaring a war against the terrorism when his organizations train them to cause the terror in all Latin America? Posada Carriles is a sample of it. This man that was captured by the Venezuelan justice to murder at hundred of Venezuelans and to give orders of demolishing a Cuban airplane escapes from a jail of maximum security in Venezuela and he requested political asylum in the United States. Now we think and we tell ourselves: is it ethical and moral, it is respect for countries who fight in favor of the peace to leave unpunished to this murderer? The Cuban people has suffered many lost of its best children by reason of the unjustifiable acts of this man's terror and of its accomplices, for what has requested justice, although this has never been demonstrated on the part of our northern neighbors. The Cuban town and all the fair peoples of the world will continue requesting justice for the executioner....

The terrible effrontery of the government of USA

2007-05-10T14:18:00.000-07:00

The terrible effrontery of the government of USA when liberating the biggest terrorist in the world doesn't leave another alternative but that to think that our security is in danger and the injustice with our five heroes is more cruel than never. It is for that reason that May 1rst we will claim their liberation and to demand justice for Posada Carriles.
What the government of the united states seeks is unheard and unusual, if we let that this happens we won't have pardon of God, I only hope to encourage other people of the world and to pronounce me against such a criminal's liberation that has spilled the blood of siblings of all parts of the world.

Cuba vs Posada

2007-05-10T14:16:00.000-07:00

The people of Cuba, today more than ever unite its voices to accuse the terrorist Luis Posada Carriles vile murderer that with his cruel attacks against our people today continues in freedom, supported by the mafia and the contrarrevolution. Our voices will not cease until seeing him complete his sentences after the grills although it is little because it cannot repair all the damage he made. We claim justice and eternal glory to them who died innocently.
The irresponsible actions plague the world of injustice, since the justice is not to promote the terrorism but fighting against him and against those that practice it, that which is not what the government from United States made with giving the freedom to the murderer Posed Rails, causing of thousands of innocent people's deaths with their terrorist acts, for this reason we cannot never rest when such a misdeed act is made, but combating him until conquering.
