In France, we say that when we want to kill our dog, it is accused of rabies. This is exactly what is happening with the FIVE! The main accusations are totally invented: willingness to spy, willingness to commit murders, etc. None of such proof could be provided;
As Mr. Pastor said, former adviser on National Security for Latin America, under Mr. Jimmy Carter: “Judging five Cuban agents being held in Miami is as fair as judging an Israeli agent being judged in Teheran.” (New York Times, 14th of October 2009).
It is quite extraordinary, from a country which is seeking for almost fifty years to place Cuba on its knees, to discover how pitiful it is to see this same country becoming a martyr during the judgment court proceedings!
A country which additionally allows asylum to Luis Posada Carriles, the Latin American Ben Laden! This man has Venezuelan nationality was the responsible individual together with Orlando Bosch for the terrorist destruction of the “Cubana Airlines” plane resulting in 73 deaths on the 6th October, 1976. Venezuela still demands from the U.S.A., with no success, his extradition for a judgment. Orlando Bosch was freed by G. Bush senior in 1990.
Criminal acts against Cuba are beyond what suggested the Deputy Secretary of State Leser D. Mallory to his Secretary of State Roy R. Rubottom, on the 6th of April 1960 in the following memorandum:
“The majority of Cubans support Castro, there is no efficient political opposition.…All means should be rapidly undertaken to weaken the economic life in Cuba.…A measure that would have a deep impact would be to refuse any financial relations with, or shipping goods to this country. This would reduce incomes, therefore could provoke famine, despair and destabilize the government.”
Since the 1959 Revolution, many deadly attacks have multiplied against Cuba, endorsed by U.S.A. One example is the incredible propaganda, like taking children away from their parents, as was the case with the “Peter Pan” project. Dangerous and immoral procedures continue to be carried out against Cuba, beyond what is a simple economic war.
About the "brothers to the rescue, the death of 4 young pilots on 24th February 1996 is tragic incident, and I am deeply sorry for this.
Since 1994, acting publicly to “save” the “balseros”, the “Brothers” never followed the flight plans and thus violated the Cuban air spaces, defying international laws and the Federal Aviation Administration, acting as terrorists against Cuba.
On 13th July 1993, Basulto’s planes were definitely flying on low altitude over Havana. This same day could have been deadly for this association’s pilots. Upon return Basulto was joyfully commenting his exploit on “Radio Marti”. Following this flight incursion, the Cuban government warned the United States authorities, that in case of any new violation of its aerial space, serious measures would be undertaken. The government of United States advised Basulto on August 8, 1993.
Such serious warning had not stopped Basulto to fly over Cuba again on the 9th and 13th of January 1996, and to release hundreds of thousands propaganda flyers, and to finally once again boast about his new heroic exploit on “Radio Marti”.
Cuban authorities have again protested to the United States government, warning that new violations would have serious consequences.
Playing with fire, someone may get burned; on the 24th of February 1996 Cubans reacted to this new provocation and you know the end result.
It is unfortunate that pilots had to pay with their life, due to the ideas of their chief Basulto. Don’t you think that they might have been sacrificed on the altar of the counter-revolution?
Why incriminate Gerardo Hernandez for such a sad issue, as Miami judges went a little too far by linking this story with Gerardo.
