acnnews New Anti-Cuba Campaign in Florida
HAVANA, Cuba, June 18 (acn) Recalcitrant enemies from the anti-Cuba mafia, headed by Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Mario and Lincoln Díaz-Balart, are trying to trigger off a new campaign of McCarthy-like hysteria, Granma newspaper denounces on Thursday.
Under the title: “Hysterical Miami”, the publication points out that, since Monday, these Cuban-American Congress members began new actions, taking advantage of the verdict they obtained from the US administration and the US Supreme Court against the Cuban Five.
For their anti-Cuban show, points out the newspaper, the three political manipulators gave a press conference flanking “retired colonel” Chris Simmons, who calls himself "The Spy Hunter", a former henchman of Us military intelligence who has turned his alleged knowledge on the world of espionage into a business.
Retired in 2007, Simmons invented the Cuban Intelligence Research Center for himself, a registered trademark that allows him to deliver lectures – charging thousands of dollars - to those ingenuous enough to listen to him.
For this specialist in misleading information against Cuba, denouncing false Cuban agents in the US has become a business that, by way of defamation, allows him to survive the crisis.
According to Miami’s Las Américas newspaper, which religiously reported the event, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen stated that not only dozens of "spies" work in every Cuban office abroad, but also 69 "are working at high levels within the US government" and another 12 in universities.
"They monitor Cuban exiles, they monitor us", Ros-Lehtinen repeated with her usual rage. She won her seat in the lower house by defending international terrorist Orlando Bosch.
For this second-rate James Bond, the trips of students to Cuba could represent a great danger to the nation, since the youngsters could be "won over" by the Cuban services, which are after "the renewal of their agents by recruitment in academic environments."
More delirium? For Simmons, "compared to the number of inhabitants, Cuban intelligence services has more agents that the United States."
Always on the issue of "Castro’s spies” are everywhere, believe it or not", he charges some 50,000 dollars for his presentations, for groups “of up to 25 people". For larger groups, there’s probably an extra charge.
Almost eleven years after the operation in which the five Cuban antiterrorists were arrested, a new witch hunt to stimulate hatred toward the Caribbean archipelago suits these Congress members, who fear, more than anything, the possibility of a dialogue claimed by the majority of the US people and demanded by Latin America.
