The Miami Anti-Cuba Industry - Granma
The Miami Anti-Cuba Industry
LÁZARO FARIÑAS

http://www.granma.cubaweb.cu/english/news/art0041.html

I've been living in this city of Miami for over 47 years, which means that I'm familiar with all the stages of what some people insist on calling "the Cuban exile." I personally know almost all of those who have proclaimed themselves in this city as "leaders of the exile," and I have even publicly debated with them on radio and television, so I know them very well. A lot of them have already gone to the next world, although others are still around in these parts. New "leaders" have emerged –who, not for being new, are less brazen than their predecessors-, and some have surpassed in evil those coming before them. They have more technological knowledge; therefore, they're more modern and know the system better that the previous ones and are more efficient in their way of acting. Of course, all these things don't make them surpass, neither in ambition nor in prominence, the real founders of this anti-Cuban industry.

in the city of MIAMI, the CIA HAs built, with a lot of money, the so-called cuban exile.

Now, there's no need to get dirty by taking the money directly from the CIA. They now receive it through several federal agencies that are in charge of being the bankers of this industry. The CIA dismantled the bank it had in this city to give priority to these other agencies, contributing to clean the face a little of the US interference in Cuba's internal affairs. In the past, the CIA had different offices in Latin America of Miami-based organizations, which were financed by them. Now, they don't even care about them or need them. At present, they have offices in various countries doing the work people sent from Miami used to do. Every now and then, they send their accounts executives from their anti-Cuban industry offices in Miami to Latin America and the rest of the world to supervise the work of those wage-earning Cubans.

Lately, things have not been working out too well for the industry. The thing is that, from time to time, something happens in Cuba and calculations don't tally in Miami. Sometimes, they pin all their hopes in something unreal, and therefore come to conclusions that are unreal. Actually, these characters are prone to hallucinations. They even imagine things that make them delirious. From the concert offered by Juanes in Revolution Square until the present day, things have not turned out well for them. We have to remember that some of these stale people began to fill their suitcases when the Berlin Wall fell. They made bets, and I remember they used to say: "the thing is not if it falls or not, but when." If we go back a few years in time, when the Cuban President got ill, these people even believed, very seriously, that the Cuban government had only a few hours left.

Those in Miami who hate the Cuban government were crazy about it and took to the streets of this city to celebrate the death of Fidel Castro and the end of the revolutionary government. At the famous Versalles Restaurant of Miami's Calle Ocho, frequented by the crème de la crème of the Cuban-American ultra-right, there were celebrations and hysterical whoops of joy.

Today, at the same restaurant, you can only see sadness and the serious faces of regular customers. That melancholy and that sadness are not due to the death of singer Olga Guillot, a faithful representative of that reactionary right, but to Fidel's appearance on the Cuban television's Round Table and the photos of his visits to different research centers in the capital. Now, at that same restaurant where those who went there to celebrate "the death" of the Commander in Chief whooped with joy, you can only hear these people grumble about seeing Fidel not only physically recovered, but more lucid and coherent than any of those going there to talk nonsense. Those "patriots of white coffee" who spend day and night criticizing Cuba in the parking lot of the establishment, cant' find anything to talk about now. The Cuban government, without setting out to do so, has checkmated them.

The talks that have been respectfully taking place between President Raúl Castro and the island's hierarchy of the Catholic Church are seen by "the vertical combatants" as an act of betrayal on the part of the Church. This, in spite of the fact that Cuba's Catholic Church owes absolutely nothing to these people, who have always said awful things about Cuban Catholic bishops in general and about its Cardinal in particular. We know how these little mobs of Miami's Versalles Restaurant feel; now, we'll see what the CIA's Cuban account executives in this city are going to say around the world. (Taken from Rebelión)

2. Ha ha. So cool. It won't take much to get them bouncing off the walls again, however.
It's important to note there are fewer and fewer of them to throw fits over Cuba as time goes by.

Thanks for the article.
