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.
