Miami terrorists
In Miami, where the judge who sentenced the Five refused
to recognize the reign of terrorism, the CANF is openly
offering assistance to the hijackers of a Cuban airplane and
known terrorists are heading a march against those
advocating dialogue with the island
BY JEAN-GUY ALLARD
Special for Granma International
WHILE El Nuevo Herald announced (on March 26, 2003) that
U.S. authorities could revoke the citizenship of people
connected to terrorism, in Miami - the Kingdom of Impunity -
the worst protagonists of anti-Cuban political violence
continue living in a world apart.
The mask of decency which the Cuban-American National
Foundation (CANF) has tried to construct since it disposed
of most of its elements identified with terror has been
suddenly shattered by Joe García of Colombia, the group's
spokesman, openly announcing that it was following the case
of DC-3's six hijackers in order to determine "whether they
might need assistance," according to an AP dispatch.
After pushing known terrorists like Roberto Martín Pérez out
of the rank and file - suspiciously some days after
September 11 - as well as his rowdy wife Ninoska Lucrecia
Pérez Castellon and other advocators of violence, the CANF
had given itself a moderate image, a new marketing
appearance more in line with recent surveys that clearly
indicate Cuban-Americans' support for the normalization of
relations between the United States and Cuba.
However, on March 19, when the DC-3 Aerotaxi belonging to
the Cuban National Air Services Company was hijacked by
terrorists who held its pilots at knife point and demanded
that they redirect the aircraft to Florida, the CANF
suddenly forgot its new image.
A few hours after federal prosecutors announced they were
detaining the six dangerous armed criminals, Joe García made
a statement to the press that the foundation planned to
speak with the air pirates to discover what type of
assistance they could offer, as was confirmed by
Knight-Ridder in Miami.
García's statement, which will surely not help promote the
mafia organization, was made several days after Miami's most
infamous terrorist hit-man Orlando Bosch declared war on
Florida dialoguers, a term designating, as he explained,
Cuban-Americans who favor normal relations between the
island and its northern neighbor.
BOSCH, LEADER OF DIGNITY?
Killer pediatrician Bosch, responsible for the mid-air
explosion of a Cubana Aviation passenger plane and countless
terrorist attacks while heading up the bloody group CORU,
recently revealed himself as the main promoter - along with
the extremist Unidad Cubana group - of a march along Miami's
8th Street opposing any dialogue between the Cuban-American
community and Cuba.
Jesús Permuy, president of Unidad Cubana, a movement made
up of various groups responsible for terrorist attacks
against
the island, explained in El Nuevo Herald, the benevolent
diffuser of terror, that the idea of protesting came from
"exile groups concerned at the declared intention of some
Miami groups to negotiate with the Castro regime, likewise
promoted internationally."
In Miami, being ridiculous doesn't kill. This is how Permuy
himself, who appeared before the UN Human Rights Commission
in Geneva at one point as a "defender" of human rights in
Cuba, maintains his close ties with notorious terrorist
organizations.
These ties are so strong that he doesn't hesitate to
associate himself with Bosch and his dirty criminal past,
with Luis Posada Carriles and his accomplices imprisoned in
Panama, as well as with Raymond Molina, the latter's
right-hand man, or Eugenio Llamera, the now famous inventor
of the terrorists' commission on Visa and Master Card.
José Ramón "Raymond" Molina was born in Cuba in 1934 and
had strong connections with Fulgencio Batista's
dictatorship.
He participated in the failed Bay of Pigs invasion and was a
CIA operative for 30 years.
As a known supporter of Richard Nixon, he even
unsuccessfully ran for Congress and later, equally
unsuccessfully, for mayor of Miami.
Molina had connections with Nicaragua's Somoza regime and
later with the anti-Sandinista counterrevolution, and is
known among drug trafficking circles.
He has been living for years in Panama, home of the national
anti-Cuban mafia. With the complicity of Panama City's
former mayor Mayín Correa, he is currently using all
available means to promote the release of Luis Posada and
his hitmen.
Molina is also in charge of organizing the defense and
possible bribed escape of Posada Carriles with the
collaboration of a terrorist detachment made up of
personalities such as René Cruz Cruz, Eusebio Peñalver
Mazorra, Jorge Borrego, Nelsy Ignacio Castro Matos and
Santiago Álvarez Fernández-Magriña.
It's worth recalling that the majority of these individuals,
connected with Unidad Cubana and the CANF, were among
those on the list of known terrorists handed over to the
Panamanian authorities in November 2000, the day before the
10th Ibero-American Summit was to take place in that
country.
All of them regularly "go down" from Miami with large sums
of money to pay the narco-attorney Rogelio Cruz, meet with
Posada Carriles in El Renacer prison or participate in
disinformation campaigns.
PEREZ ROURA AND RADIO TERROR
This money appears in the hidden funds of the anti-Cuban
mafia and collection campaigns that Jesús Permuy and his
good friend Pérez Roura, director of Radio Mambí, regularly
engage in to support the four terrorists in prison in
Panama.
Octogenarian Pérez Roura, a former member of the Alpha-66
paramilitary organization and correspondent for the United
Revolutionary Organizations Coordination Committee (CORU)
terrorist group, continues to be active with Unidad Cubana.
During his morning program, Pérez Roura promoted the march
in response to those in favor of dialogue with the same
energy he has used to incite violent acts against Cuba with
impunity.
Special guest Orlando Bosch, on the "En Caliente" program,
introduced as the "president of the People's Protagonist
Party," emphatically announced the march against dialogue
has to be the biggest in history, despite the fact that
there are many inclined to pull the rug out from under the
exile force."
Then, in reference to recent polls revealing majority exile
community support for dialogue with the island, claimed that
"here, the polls have been greased with money so as to
confuse the émigrés."
Inevitably, the unmistakable Ninoska Lucrecia Pérez
Castellón is participating in the extremist chorus, with
frenzied calls to participate in the march and fanning the
flames against the normalization of relations with Cuba. She
has been a member of the terrorist Council for the Freedom
of Cuba's executive junta since she was purged from the
CANF.
TERRORISM IN ACTION
Recently, various leaders of organizations in favor of
normalizing relations with Cuba were thrown out of the
Holiday Inn Hotel, located on 2051 LeJeune Road, just before
a press conference. Minutes before the conference was to get
underway, Coral Gables police ordered participants to
abandon the premises despite the fact that they had already
paid for the room.
Finally, the press conference took place in the parking lot
of the aforementioned hotel. Nobody is quite sure what kinds
of threats were made against the Holiday Inn group to
provoke such high anxiety levels, but it is no secret that
the South Florida mafia has honed the act of threatening and
sewing fear into an art form.
Yet again, Miami showed its true colors as a sanctuary of
terror where conspiring against Cuba, solidarity with
hijackers and support for terrorism are all authorized
activities.
Meanwhile, the five Cuban patriots imprisoned in the United
States continue to be the victims of mistreatment after
having been sentenced in a fraudulent trial for having
contributed to the fight against terrorism.
A bloody record
Hostility by Miami fanatics towards any dialogue on the
normalization of relations between Cuban and the United
States has been demonstrated on a number of occasions.
Nevertheless, two infamous cases illustrate beyond any
reasonable doubt the total fanaticism of South Florida's
terrorist circles.
While Orlando Bosch personally directed waves of
assassinations in both the United States and various Latin
America countries from his prison cell in Venezuela, another
group, Omega-7, savagely executed two Cuban émigrés who held
positions of rapprochement to the island.
On April 28, 1979, Carlos Muñiz Varela, a Cuban tour
operator based in Puerto Rico, was shot down and died the
following day. In January of the same year, Omega-7 had
claimed responsibility for a car bomb at Muñiz's tour agency
in San Juan. Evidence suggests that the killer could very
well have been Pedro Remón, the individual currently jailed
along with the gang's chief, Luis Posada Carriles.
On November 25 of that same year, Eulalio José Negrín, a
member of the Committee of 75 and a participant in the
December dialogue with Cuba the previous year, was murdered
in front of his 12-year-old son at his home in Union City,
New Jersey. On November 9, 1984, Pedro Remón was identified
as Negrín's assassin by Omega-7 chief Eduardo Arocena.
On April 10, 1986, Judge Robert L. Ward sentenced Remón to
10 years' imprisonment for a long series of murders and
attempts. The killer didn't even complete half of his
sentence.
Pronouncing his reduced sentence, the judge openly expressed
his "sympathy" for the terrorist's "cause."
