Washington's favorite blogger, Yoani Sanchez, Miami received a flag of the United States, as a trophy for his efforts to "liberate" Cuba. The blogger gave another title from cover to El Nuevo Herald.


"We maintain a heavy hand with the Castro regime, it is no doubt," said Felix Rodriguez, the CIA agent who identified Ernesto Che Guevara in La Higuera (Bolivia) and decided the killing of guerrilla, in a program in which he praised the blogger Yoani Sanchez.

Rodriguez gave statements to Channel 41 in Miami and said Yoani Sanchez is "admirable". The way it is "doing its work is admirable," he said.

Rodriguez, an expert in intelligence services of the U.S., said in the program that "many of the Castro government infiltrators in Miami"

4. Here's a photo of this dipstick after the CIA & Bolivian military caught Che Guevara,

after shooting him in the leg in the process. Felix is the guy on the left side, to Che's right, in the jaunty chapeau.

[center][/center]
In the following photo, Felix Rodriguez is the one in the front, on the left, lying on the stage of a night-club in Mexico City, with the members of a CIA team:


"Felix Rodriguez, Porter Goss, Barry Seal, and others, Mexico City 22 January 1963

The Bay of Pigs operation was directed out of the "Miami Station" (also known as "JM/WAVE&quot , which was the CIA's largest station worldwide. It housed 200 agents who handled approximately 2,000 Cubans. Robert Reynolds was the CIA's Miami station chief from September 1960 to October 1961. He was replaced by career-CIA officer Theodore Shackley, who oversaw Operation MONGOOSE, Operation 40 (including Porter Goss, Felix Rodriguez, Barry Seal), and others. When Bush became CIA Director in 1976 he appointed Ted Shackley as Deputy Director of Covert Operations. When Bush became Vice President in 1981, he appointed Donald Gregg as his National Security Advisor. "

You may recall George W. Bush made Porter Goss the Director of the C.I.A. during his presidency. (Very small world.) Goss is immediately behind Felix Rodriguez, and the notorious Barry Seal is the one grinning behind Porter Goss.

Regarding Barry Seal, Wikipedia:

Adler Berriman Seal (July 16, 1939 – February 19, 1986), better known as Barry Seal, was a United States drug smuggler and aircraft pilot who flew covert flights for the Central Intelligence Agency and the Medellín Cartel.

~snip~
Military/CIA work

Seal was later linked through a dated photograph to Operation 40, a covert CIA operation.[citation needed] He also joined US Army Special Forces to continue flight training. In 1966, Seal went to work for TWA as a flight engineer and later became the youngest 747 pilot in the nation. He flew transcontinental flights for TWA until he was fired after he agreed to fly plastic explosives from Miami to Mexico for an anti-Castro group. The buyer turned out to be a Federal Agent and he was arrested. He lost his job with TWA and became a private aviation consultant for groups in Latin America, which led to a career in drug trafficking.[1]

~snip~
On February 19, 1986, Barry Seal was shot to death in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in front of a branch of the Salvation Army on Airline Highway (U.S. 61), where he was required to stay as a condition of his plea bargain, making him an easy target for retaliation. As he sat in his parked Cadillac, a man carrying a MAC-10 machine pistol approached him. The man then emptied a magazine into Seal's body, neck and head, killing Seal instantly, which brought the DEA's investigation to an end. Colombian assassins sent by the Medellín Cartel were apprehended while trying to leave Louisiana soon after Seal's murder.[11]

6. She should also go for an endorsement from Luis Posada Carriles!

LUIS POSADA CARRILES
THE DECLASSIFIED RECORD
CIA and FBI Documents Detail Career in International Terrorism; Connection to U.S.

http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB153/

Washington D.C. May 18, 2005 - The National Security Archive today posted additional documents that show that the CIA had concrete advance intelligence, as early as June 1976, on plans by Cuban exile terrorist groups to bomb a Cubana airliner. The Archive also posted another document that shows that the FBI's attache in Caracas had multiple contacts with one of the Venezuelans who placed the bomb on the plane, and provided him with a visa to the U.S. five days before the bombing, despite suspicions that he was engaged in terrorist activities at the direction of Luis Posada Carriles.


Washington D.C. May 10, 2005 - Declassified CIA and FBI records posted today on the Web by the National Security Archive at George Washington University identify Cuban exile Luis Posada Carriles, who is apparently in Florida seeking asylum, as a former CIA agent and as one of the "engineer[s]" of the 1976 terrorist bombing of Cubana Airlines flight 455 that killed 73 passengers.


In 1985, Posada escaped from prison in Venezuela where he had been incarcerated after the plane bombing and remains a fugitive from justice. He went directly to El Salvador, where he worked, using the alias "Ramon Medina," on the illegal contra resupply program being run by Lt. Col. Oliver North in the Reagan National Security Council. In 1998 he was interviewed by Ann Louise Bardach for the New York Times at a secret location in Aruba, and claimed responsibility for a string of hotel bombings in Havana during which eleven people were injured and one Italian businessman was killed. Most recently he was imprisoned in Panama for trying to assassinate Fidel Castro in December 2000 with 33 pounds of C-4 explosives. In September 2004, he and three co-conspirators were suddenly pardoned, and Posada went to Honduras. Venezuela is now preparing to submit an official extradition request to the United States for his return.


So, do you think this terrorist was finally brought to justice? Not a fucking chance!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luis_Posada_Carriles

In 2005, Posada was held by U.S. authorities in Texas on the charge of illegal presence on national territory before the charges were dismissed on May 8, 2007. On September 28, 2005 a U.S. immigration judge ruled that Posada cannot be deported, finding that he faces the threat of torture in Venezuela.[18] Likewise, the US government has refused to send Posada to Cuba, saying he might face torture.[17] His release on bail on April 19, 2007 had elicited angry reactions from the Cuban and Venezuelan governments.[19] The U.S. Justice Department had urged the court to keep him in jail because he was "an admitted mastermind of terrorist plots and attacks", a flight risk and a danger to the community.[13] On September 9, 2008 the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed the District Court's Order dismissing the indictment and remanded the case to the District Court.[20] On April 8, 2009 the United States Attorney filed a superseding indictment in the case. Posada-Carriles' jury trial had been set for February 26, 2010 but it was announced on February 22 that it would be postponed for at least three months.[20][21] Posada-Carriles' trial ended on April 8, 2011 with a jury acquitting him on all charges.[22]

Although he has never been convicted for his various acts of violence, Peter Kornbluh of the National Security Archive has referred to him as "one of the most dangerous terrorists in recent history" and the "godfather of Cuban exile violence."[23] In Miami however, where Posada currently resides, he is considered "a heroic figure in the hardline anti-Castro exile community."[23]

of her lists, someone who had made a career of blowing up, murdering innocent Cuban citizens, including children. That's what her "crowd" in Miami has been financing all these years.

Here he is, surrounded by adoring fellow "exiles" outside a benefit they threw for him to raise additional money for his trial the last time.

They really love their Cuban-slaughtering terrorists in Miami, these Batistianos.

It must get their juices stirring recalling how Batista's friend's death squad, "Masferrer's Tigers" used to rumble through Havana, and other towns, snatching leftists off the streets, torturing them, throwing them dead out of cars, or hanging them from light poles in towns, or in trees, out in the country, or even quartered and the limbs hung in trees as they did the young men leftists, or suspected leftists near Santiago de Cuba.

with what is recognised as being more or less the start of the revolution when of the 80 or so who left Mexico on the overloaded Granma only 12 made it to safety the rest being killed or captured and then executed.

Difference between good intent and malintent I guess.

10. Some of the "exile" big shots were present at the invasion, yet never even got out of their boats!
Wed Apr 3, 2013, 01:03 PM
Apr 2013

Jorge Mas Canosa, a loud-mouthed, pushy idiot "exile" who believed he was going to become the next President of Cuba actually sat in his boat, saw how things were going with all the men who went in ahead of him, and simply had them turn the danged thing around and get him the hell out of there.

After going back to Miami, he ruled over the Cuban community like a little tyrant until he died, millions and millions and many more millions of dollars wealthier.

It's a totally different situation from what befell the brave Cubans who took the Granma to their fate from Mexico. Jeez.

I'm sure you're right, the men of the Granma were fighting for a real purpose beyond themselves.
