RADIO HAVANA
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Skolnick and I were talking about shortwave radio and he had
|
|
suggested, since I speak Spanish, that I tune in Radio Havana and
|
|
hear their perspective on the downing of the "Brothers to the
|
|
Rescue" plane. As fate would have it, I was wandering the
|
|
frequencies and I found Radio Havana -- *in* *English*. I don't
|
|
know when that happened, but Radio Havana now broadcasts in
|
|
English at 6000 KHz, 9820 KHz, and 9830 KHz. I was receiving them
|
|
between 7 and 8 p.m. Central Standard Time.
|
|
|
|
According to Radio Havana, U.S. authorities had been repeatedly
|
|
notified regarding the intrusions into their air space by
|
|
"Brothers to the Rescue" (BTR) planes -- yet did nothing. The
|
|
unfortunate result, the downing of the BTR plane, is connected by
|
|
the Cubans to what they call Miami's virulent "anti-Cuban Mafia"
|
|
and efforts to push through the "Helms-Burton Bill". The word
|
|
"conspiracy" was actually used, which was unusual to hear it
|
|
being freely bandied about over their air waves without any
|
|
snickering -- as is the norm here in the U.S.
|
|
|
|
Also noted was that a group called "Pastors for Peace" has begun
|
|
a "fast for life", presumably in protest over U.S. promoted
|
|
isolationist policies against Cuba. You wouldn't know it from our
|
|
own "news" reports, but demonstrations have been held in numerous
|
|
cities throughout the U.S., and indeed throughout the world,
|
|
protesting "our" government's policy toward Cuba. According to
|
|
Radio Havana, "virtually every country in the world is calling on
|
|
the Cuban embargo to end."
|
|
|
|
Radio Havana further opines that the recent brouhaha between us
|
|
and Cuba is nothing more, at bottom, than "posturing for
|
|
elections."
|
|
|
|
Cuban Foreign Affairs Minister Roberto Robeina(?) said as follows
|
|
in an address delivered, apparently today (March 6, 1996), to the
|
|
United Nations [excerpts only]:
|
|
|
|
It has even been said that the Brothers to the Rescue
|
|
organization had a humanitarian character. The General
|
|
Assembly should know that that gang, which was established in
|
|
1991 and was officially registered as a non-profit
|
|
organization, free of political interests, is indeed financed
|
|
with obscure money from the extremist Mafias of Miami.
|
|
|
|
It would be interesting to investigate the links between the
|
|
Cuban-American Foundation and that group, or to go deeper,
|
|
into the intense efforts carried out by Representative Ileana
|
|
Ros, so that the U.S. Defense Department donated Brothers to
|
|
the Rescue (or sold them at a low price) three of the planes
|
|
they used against Cuba. That organization's key figure, Jose
|
|
Basulto(sp?), is well-known by Cuba. He was recruited by the
|
|
Central Intelligence Agency, got his training in Panama and
|
|
Guatemala, and infiltrated into Cuba both before, and after,
|
|
the Bay of Pigs invasion. In 1963, he was infiltrated into
|
|
Cuba as the radio operator of a terrorist commando group, and
|
|
he worked for the CIA in Brazil, in 1966. The Cessna 337 he
|
|
personally uses in his anti-Cuba errors bears a big "2506"
|
|
number -- after the Bay of Pigs invasion, of course, known as
|
|
the "2506 Brigade".
|
|
|
|
This is the background of an individual who is now being
|
|
portrayed as a champion of humanitarian causes.
|
|
|
|
With the signing by Cuba and the United States of immigration
|
|
agreements that put an end to Cuban illegal immigration into
|
|
the United States, that organization's [Brothers to the
|
|
Rescue's] apparent objective of promoting that illegal
|
|
immigration ceased to exist. This is how orchestrating,
|
|
planning, and conducting terrorist acts have become their
|
|
sole and definitive purpose. In their hostile, dangerous
|
|
actions against Cuba they have used twin-tail Cessna planes
|
|
of a military design, used by the U.S. Air Force in
|
|
exploration and combat missions during the Viet Nam War.
|
|
Anyone with any doubts about it can see the Miami Herald's
|
|
July 19th, 1992 edition where a Brothers to the Rescue plane
|
|
is shown with the "USAF" (or "United States Air Force")
|
|
symbol.
|
|
|
|
This gang's aggressive plans have left no room for doubt that
|
|
it is a paramilitary, terrorist organization engaged in an
|
|
open war against Cuba.
|
|
|
|
Would the United States have tolerated provocations like the
|
|
ones Cuba has had to tolerate? Would U.S. authorities allow
|
|
planes from Cuba or any other country to illegally enter U.S.
|
|
air space and drop subversive leaflets? What would have
|
|
happened if civilian airplanes from Cuba had disobeyed
|
|
instructions of U.S. air controllers regarding air traffic?
|
|
Could Cuban civilian aircraft have been allowed to enter air
|
|
zones of U.S. military bases like Andrews, or Fort Meade,
|
|
near Washington? And how would U.S. public opinion have
|
|
reacted to such bravado and impunity of provocateurs like
|
|
these? Well, the answer is not difficult to imagine. The
|
|
United States would *not* have allowed this -- as a U.S.
|
|
Defense Department spokesperson recently acknowledged when
|
|
asked by journalists.
|
|
|
|
Suspicious enough, these events have one common point: the
|
|
passing, in the U.S. Congress, of the infamous Helms-Burton
|
|
Bill. Its ultimate aim is to make the world implement a
|
|
blockade against Cuba following more than 35 years of failure
|
|
of an economic and financial U.S. blockade that this General
|
|
Assembly has condemned for 4 consecutive years. Evidently,
|
|
the whole issue has been a conspiracy by the Cuban-American
|
|
ultra right, in connivance with the most extremist figures in
|
|
the U.S. Congress; a conspiracy not only against Cuba, but
|
|
also against the very U.S. administration, so as to drag it
|
|
into serious contradiction, and problems of even a warlike
|
|
nature, in the middle of a fierce electoral fight. The first
|
|
consequence would be, at least, to see the criminal Helms-
|
|
Burton Bill finally approved. The government of the United
|
|
States, which is now taking measures against Cuba, should
|
|
understand that these provocations are also aimed against it.
|
|
The U.S. government's decision to support that bill is, in
|
|
fact, an open challenge to the overwhelming condemnation of
|
|
the blockade against Cuba by this assembly.
