PANDERING TO THE CUBAN MAFIA

The most lucrative, tax free, money-making machine in the State of
Florida, continues to be to this day, what is popularly known amongst
the Cuban emigrant community as the "Hate Industry". Created forty
four years ago by President Eisenhower to encourage and highlight the
achievements of Cubans living in democracy as opposed to those living
under tyranny in Cuba, have slowly degenerated into a well structured
maffia with deadly prongs in most of the western hemisphere.
This pervasive institution and its massive array of tentacles, have a
stranglehold on all educational, social, financial, judicial,
religious, political, labor or cultural institutions in south Florida
and beyond. No teacher, judge, financier etc., can ever assume a
position of leadership without prior approval by and the blessings of
these groups.
By fanning the flames of a war that would eventually overthrow the
Cuban government, these individuals have successfully bilked the
United States government out of billions of dollars, pocketed most of
it, squandered some in futile projects such as Radio and TV Marti
that is neither seen nor listened to in Cuba, by keeping "dissidents"
on their payroll and by recycling some of these funds into the
local, county, state or national political arena, where minds and
souls are bought, shamefully corrupting the entire political process.
The moral decay that this massive corruption have brought to south
Florida, have placed it at the pinnacle of many law enforcement crime
statistics, such as: the largest group of political/administrative
officials indicted, in jail, on parole or being sought in the nation,
the largest Medicare/Medicaid fraud nationwide, the largest illegal
drug distribution center in the nation and the largest crop of inept,
corrupt-prone, demoralized politicians in the nation.
This crime-friendly environment, have led south Florida to harbor the
largest and most diverse community of ex-dictators, terrorists and
assassins from Latin-America and other regions of the world. No
butcher is unwelcome!
And yet, most politician hoping to be elected to a state or national
office, must make their pilgrimage to Miami's right wing newspapers
and radio stations, where they deceitfully promise an aging and
hopeless Cuban-American community, that if elected, they will send in
the marines and apprehend Castro as we did in Panama, Grenada or Iraq.
And now, it is the obscure, machiavellian Larry Klayman, trying to
boost his ailing senate campaign bid, by threatening the Cuban people
with a preemptive shock and awe bombing campaign similar to, and with
the devastating consequences we saw in Iraq. This co-conspirator
in the failed kidnapping attempt of six year old, shipwreck Elian
Gonzalez, is well known to the world and despised by most.
What a sad future of any nation, when every mentally handicap
politician hoping to be elected, must resort to threats, war
mongering and hate speeches against any country, in order to rally
those rocking-chair patriots to vote for him.

Say...the term "mafia" flowed rather freely in this tale, but it did so with
nary a detail.
Could you provide some details on the organizational structure of this
"mafia", the name of their most prominent members, their "mafia"-like
criminal activities, and of course, list their convictions?
Barring that, could you at least tell us who plays the role of Clemenza?
Frodo? Charlie Pantangelo? Sonny?
Thanks!
M.
PS Say...also...the Abe Vigoda character, could you tell us if he is still
alive?

A recent Radio 4 programme profiled the Cuban-American CIA agent, Felix
Rodriguez. It gave listeners the impression that Rodriguez was a man of
'Christian ideals' and a 'warm, embracing human being'. In reality Rodriguez
is a torturer, thief, killer, terrorist and drug runner. RATB members
objected to the BBC and one of their letters was used as a basis for
criticism of the programme. A brief look at Rodriguez's disgusting career
demonstrates, not only the depths of depravity to which this man stoops in
his vendetta against the Cuban people, but also how he and the rest of the
Miami mafia are an integral part of US imperialism's global campaign against
all liberation struggles and how closely they are linked with the US ruling
class at the highest levels.
Members of Felix Rodriguez's family were part of Cuban dictator Fulgencio
Batista's repressive apparatus. After the Revolution in 1959, Rodriguez fled
to Miami. There the CIA recruited him into Operation 40, alongside many
other Cuban deserters such as Posada Carriles, Frank Sturgis, Ignacio Novo
Sampoll, Jose Basulto, the Guillermo brothers and, later, Orlando Bosch.
These men were to carry out murder and sabotage throughout the world on
behalf of imperialism. George Bush Snr. had close links with Operation 40.
Rodriguez was sent to Cuba to organise explosions ahead of the Bay of Pigs
invasion. George Bush personally donated three boats as part of that
operation.
After the failure of the invasion, Rodriguez escaped to Cuba and underwent
further training in the US alongside Jorge Mas Canosa, founder and leader of
the Cuban American National Foundation (CANF). Rodriguez was sent to
Nicaragua where he was part of an operation that blew up a Spanish ship in
reprisal for Spain's relations with Cuba. In 1967 Rodriguez acted as CIA
link man in Bolivia, leading the hunt for Che Guevara. He interrogated Che
and, despite CIA insistence that Che be captured alive, passed an order for
Che's execution, saying it must appear as though Che had died in combat.
Rodriguez celebrated over Che's body and stole Che's watch as a 'souvenir'.
In 1969 Rodriguez, by now a US citizen, was sent to Viet Nam. As part of the
Phoenix programme he organised low-flying helicopters to machine-gun
villages, a technique he was later to use against El Salvadorean guerrillas.
Rodriguez also tortured and interrogated Vietnamese prisoners. In the Radio
4 programme, Rodriguez said he enjoyed his tour of duty in Viet Nam.
By 1970 Rodriguez was trafficking heroin from Laos to the US drugs network
of former Havana gangster Santos Traficante as part of a CIA operation among
isolated communities in Laos.
When George Bush Snr. became head of the CIA in 1974 he asked Orlando Bosch
to unite all the Miami mafia groups into one organisation, the infamous
CORU. Over the years Miami mafia attacks on Cuba have resulted in the deaths
of hundreds of Cubans and the permanent maiming of thousands more. It was
CORU agent Posada Carrilles, together with Bosch himself, who were
responsible for the destruction in flight of a Cuban airliner in 1976 in
which 73 people died. But CORU didn't only operate in Cuba. CORU agents
Ignacio Novo Sampoll and the Guillermo brothers, together with Pinochet
henchmen, murdered Orlando Letelier, ex-minister in Salvador Allende's
progressive government and his assistant, human rights activist, Ronni
Moffit. Altogether CORU was involved in around 100 terrorist attacks in more
than 25 countries. Rodriguez collaborated with CORU, taking on missions in
Uruguay, Brazil, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador.
In 1982 Bush was Vice-President. He ordered the CIA to expand the United
States' counter-revolutionary work in Central America. Mercenaries were
recruited to form a terrorist organisation, the Contras, aimed at the
destruction of the revolutionary Sandanista government in Nicaragua.
Rodriguez was sent on support missions for the Contras. Together with Jose
Basulto he stole Federal funds intended for public health services in Miami
to use for hospital care for Contra mercenaries. A CIA airline company run
by Rodriguez was caught smuggling $10 million worth of cocaine to fund the
assassination of Honduran president Roberto Suazo Cordova. After a meeting
with Bush in January 1985, Rodriguez was put in charge of operations at the
Contra supply base at Llopango in El Salvador. He became chief co-ordinator
for transporting massive amounts of cocaine from Colombia to the United
States to fund Contra death squads, using the Medellin cartel's
money-laundering specialist. He also assisted counter-revolutionary death
squads in El Salvador. Rodriguez's partner in this operation was Posada
Carriles.
In 1976 Bush awarded Rodriguez a medal for bravery. In 1985 he invited
Rodriguez to spend Christmas at the White House. By 1986 their operations
were so close that the two criminals were meeting daily. Together with
Colonel Oliver North, they were both implicated in selling arms illegally to
Iran during the Iran-Iraq war in order to fund the Contras. Among others
implicated were Otto Reich, Elliot Abrams and John Negroponte, each of whom
now holds a high position in President George Bush Jnr's government. Dozens
of other members of the Miami Connection can be found at all levels of that
administration.
Bush Jnr., of course, was 'elected' by swindling the vote in Florida after
intense pressure from the Miami mafia. His brother Jeb is Governor of
Florida. CANF leader, Jorge Mas Canosa described Jeb Bush as, 'one of us'.
At George Bush Jnr's investiture was General Rafael Bustillos, head of the
notorious El Salvadoran airforce. Alongside him stood his old friend, Felix
Rodriguez.
Rodriguez lives now in Miami-Dade County surrounded by mementoes of his cold
war against humanity; guns, grenades, bayonets, photos with George Bush, the
belongings of prisoners tortured in Viet Nam and guerrillas murdered in
South America. In the Radio 4 programme Rodriguez said that, if hadn't been
for Fidel Castro, he would have been a rich businessman in Havana. Need we
say more?

blah, blah, blah.
Only that reality states very cleary that Cuba is a brutal Communist
Military Dictatorship ruled mafia-style by one family, the Castros,
supported by red gorillas and SS-style thugs, and backed by an
enormous propaganda machine maintained by powerful and rich leftovers
from Communism.

Ok, "Miguel O'Pastel", you have now shown us with clarity beyond doubt,
that you are a panderer for the Cuban mafia, and that you have nothing
more interesting to say in these fora than "blah, blah, blah".
Your level of debate is truly amazing, but not in a positive sense...

I have been to Cuba and saw nothing like this.

Lots of people have been to Cuba without seeing the repression,
and lots of people go more than once there to resorts with everything
paid in advance, where they may spend a few lazy weeks without seeing
the locals other than those employed in the tourist business.
Nevertheless, in Boniato, close to Santiago, a man built a house,
with all permissions in order and with help of his relatives in
the USA, who sent him money, so that he could build a really fine
house. That house was taken from him because he was living beyond
his means, according to the authorities in Cuba.
Whether you did see anything or not, that was an action of a
dictatorship that randomly can commit any cruelty against the
citizens. The house was simply stolen, to be used for the local
Communist Party department.
I came to know another man briefly the first time I was in Cuba,
and about a month after I left, he was jailed randomly after
attempting to enter a hotel in Santiago. He had a heart problem,
and he was prescribed medicine for his ailment. His wiffe took
his medicine to the jail, but the wards did not dispense it to
him, so about a year later he died from a heart failure, because
his disease had not been treated, but it was aggravated by the
jail diet.
These are the things that happen in a brutal dictatorship where
you prefer to see nothing of the sort.
