Miami: terrorists provoke aggression against pacifists demanding Posada’s
arrest

BY JEAN-GUY ALLARD —Granma International staff writer—

• MIAMI is undoubtedly the only city in the world where terrorists, with the
collaboration of the official press, can openly organize violent protests
without the fear of police intervention.

This occurred once again last Saturday when, following an announcement on
Radio Mambí by the leader of the Alpha 66 terrorist group and a notice in
the press by notorious terrorists, dozens of sympathizers of murderer and
torturer Luis Posada Carriles attacked a group of pacifist women who were
demanding his arrest.

Representatives of the pacifist organization Codepink, who arrived in Miami
from various cities in the United States, were the victims of acts of
intimidation and a placard that they were carrying was destroyed, without
any intervention by local police agents who were present at the event.

In the days leading up to the event, Alpha 66 leader Ernesto Díaz put out a
call to demonstrate over the airwaves of Radio Mambí, a local station that
constantly uses its federal radio license to give support to individuals
linked to terrorism.

The Codepink activists traveled to Miami to demand that the FBI act with the
same rigor against Posada Carriles and Cuban-American terrorists as it does
with terrorists from anywhere else and that Posada should be put on the
"Most Wanted" list.

Representatives from the women’s group had previously announced that they
intended to visit the Versailles restaurant, the lair of the Miami terrorist
mafia and, from that moment, began to receive a number of threatening phone
calls.

Displayed on the Codepink vehicle that was attacked was a placard that said
"Wanted by the FBI: Luis Posada for terrorism," showing Posada’s photo and
the number of the FBI in Miami: (305) 944 9101.

Alpha 66 – the group that provoked the aggression – is a terrorist
organization founded at the beginning of the 1960s under the direction of
the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), whose endless history of aggression
against Cuba has been widely documented, both on the island and by the U.S.
authorities themselves.

The murderous organization has its premises on an avenue in central Miami
and, for close to 50 years, has benefited from total tolerance and,
frequently, from the complicity of both the U.S. federal police and local
agents.

THREE TERRORISTS SUPPORTED BY THE MAFIOSO PRESS

The Mafioso press in Miami also circulated another message to prevent
Codepink’s presence, signed by individuals likewise identified with Alpha
66, who for months have been organizing events in support of Posada aimed at
presenting his release as acceptable in the eyes of George W. Bush’s
judicial apparatus.

This small committee, initiated by terrorist Santiago Alvarez, the main
culprit behind Posada’s illegal arrival on U.S. territory, is headed by
Nelly Rojas, an old accomplice whom the terrorist employs as a secretary,
and by notorious terrorists Héctor Fabián and Reinol Rodríguez.

In any other part of the world, Nelly Rojas, a Venezuelan citizen residing
in the United States with the indulgence of the immigration services and in
the company of her husband Pedro Morales, would have already been detained
for terrorism. Rojas has collaborated with Posada Carriles since the 1970s
when the CIA agent joined the DISIP and murdered and tortured young
Venezuelan revolutionaries under the name of Captain Basilio.

Rojas was an accomplice in the activities of CORU, the organization created
by Posada, with Frank Castro, Orlando Bosch and other CIA collaborators.
Together with other Venezuelans of Cuban origin such as Joaquín Chaffardet,
Francisco "Paco" Pimentel, Salvador Romaní Orúe, Ricardo Koesling and her
own husband – many of whom were linked to the Cuban-American National
Foundation – she was constantly involved in violent conspiratorial
activities.

In 1997, Rojas was kept informed of the campaign of terrorism against Cuba
being developed by Posada, as has been demonstrated in the "Fatal Calls"
article by Cuban journalist and investigator Reinaldo Taladrid, that was
published on the island. She took part in the assassination attempt on
President Fidel Castro on Isla Margarita, that was accidentally interrupted
thanks to the U.S Coastguard’s interception of La Esperanza yacht.

Héctor Francisco Alfonso Ruiz, alias Héctor Fabián, another organizer of
Saturday’s counter-demonstration, was an active member of a wide variety of
groups encouraged by U.S. intelligence in the 1960s. He belonged to the
Directorio Insurreccional Nacionalista, the Frente de Liberación Cubano, and
in 1968, joined Poder Cubano directed by his friend Orlando Bosch.

Even the FBI knows how, in 1972, he participated in bomb attacks on four
agencies that sent packages to Cuba; how in 1978, on behalf of CORU, he took
part in an attack on the Rio Bobabo boat in Peru; and how, from Miami, he
sent letter bombs to the Cuban embassies in Mexico, Canada, Argentina and
Peru.

With respect to Reinol Rodríguez, a secret document dating back to August
16, 1978 (with reference No. 2-471) that has been declassified by the FBI,
identifies him as head of the CORU in Puerto Rico and later of the so-called
Anti-Communist Latin American Army (ELAC). The FBI is aware that he is the
murderer of young activist Carlos Muñiz Varela, cowardly executed on April
28, 1979.

Among the professional demonstrators who attacked the Codepink activists
were Miguel Saavedra, the Vigilia Mambisa chief and known collaborator of
Congressman Lincoln Díaz-Balart, who is always willing to bring together his
group of delinquents – many of them with a criminal record – to take part in
public demonstrations. Díaz-Balart is notorious for having organized the
interruption of the vote recount that gave George W. Bush the victory in the
2000 presidential elections.

The Codepink women’s group became famous last year when members interrupted
an audience by Condoleezza Rice, Bush’s secretary of state. With respect to
the Posada case, Codepink is also demanding that the U.S. government
extradites him to Venezuela where he has been wanted by the judicial system
since his escape from the prison in which he was being held for the attack
on a Cubana airliner that was destroyed mid-flight in 1976 with 73 people on
board.

EVERYTHING TO SAVE THE BUSH FAMILY’S TERRORIST

In a city like Miami, where hundreds of individuals have participated in
terrorist attacks – frequently as mercenaries for the CIA – for the close to
50 years during which the U.S. has been carrying out its dirty war against
Cuba, only one terrorist appears on the "Most Wanted" website of the local
FBI.

That man is a Saudi called Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, wanted "in connection
with possible terrorist threats" against the United States.

Luis Posada Carriles is strolling freely around Miami, awaiting a decision
by the Appeals Court of New Orleans in a case that has been managed by the
anti-terrorist judges of Bush’s Justice Department. Since his arrest the
delaying tactics have been multiplied so that the most dangerous terrorist
on the continent, a CIA agent with links to the Bush family, does not have
to respond for his crimes.

Alpha Males
http://www.miaminewtimes.com/1998-08-27/news/alpha-males/full
Hustling down a dirt road surrounded by miles of farmland, Leslie Fernandez struggles to keep a rifle balanced on her shoulder. Dressed in bell-bottom jeans and a white T-shirt, she catches up with her fellow commandos -- five men dressed in military fatigues and also toting weapons.

"What kind of gun is this?" she asks Jesus Hoyos, who is leading the team.
"That's an M-1," Hoyos explains curtly. He's cradling a semiautomatic Bushmaster AR-15.

The group stops and huddles. "This is the rally point," Hoyos tells them. He reviews the plan: Leslie will remain behind to guard the backpacks under cover of darkness while the men sneak into a Cuban military base and shoot at two MiGs parked in a large grassy field. "Let's go," Hoyos says quietly.

Leslie watches the men creep down the edge of the road -- two in front, three behind -- then disappear through an open metal gate surrounding a small military camp. Moments later machine guns pop. They pop again, faster. "Retreat! Retreat!" Hoyos shouts. The commandos pull back, turning and firing as they go. They scurry down the road and regroup, breathless, at the rally point, where Leslie has been patiently waiting. "Okay, enemy troops have the beach blocked," Hoyos pants. "Contingency plan A -- the helicopter -- was shot down. So we have to walk five miles to a point where they're going to pick us up at 0600."

But there are no enemy soldiers, no MiGs in the field. Only stacks of old tires. The bullets are blanks. It is not night, but Sunday morning. And Leslie is no companera; she's an eleven-year-old who has never been to Cuba and scarcely speaks Spanish. Her father Mario, one of the fighters, left the island during the Mariel boatlift in 1980. Though Leslie thinks she would be willing to join a raid on Cuba when she gets older, she's still a bit uncertain about logistics -- like how she would get there. "I have no idea," she shrugs. "Maybe by boat." But she does have a firm grasp of the objective. "Fidel Castro shouldn't be there, treating those people like he does. He's just really bad to them," she declares. She learned to shoot semiautomatic weapons earlier this year.

Then the thoughtful, articulate sixth-grader at Miami Lakes Middle School confesses the real reason she attends the Sunday training sessions: "I really don't have anything to do at home, so I decided to come here to learn about Cuba and how they train and stuff."
