The bookkeeper for a New Jersey business mogul who was a director of the powerful Cuban American National Foundation retakes the stand in the perjury trial of an elderly ex-CIA operative from Cuba.

Oscar De Rojas begins his second day of testimony Thursday and is expected to discuss efforts by Cuban-American exile leader Arnaldo Monzon to finance longtime anti-communist militant Luis Posada Carriles (loo-EES' poh-SAH'-duh cah-REE'-lehs).

The 83-year-old Posada spent decades crisscrossing Latin America, working to destabilize communist governments. He faces charges of perjury, obstruction and immigration fraud in the U.S. Prosecutors say he lied during citizenship hearings in El Paso after sneaking into the country and asking to be allowed to stay in March 2005.

In New Jersey Contest, A Senator With Tough Friends

The fund-raiser, Abel Hernandez, and the deceased ally, Arnaldo Monzon, had previously been accused of funding terror attacks in Cuba. Over the years, they have contributed more than $10,000 to Mr. Menendez’s campaigns. And in a separate case from earlier in his career, Mr. Menendez publicly defended and financially supported a man who had been convicted of killing a Cuban official and bombing civilian targets in the United States.

~snip~
But in the past several months, others have implicated Monzon in a deeper role in extremist activities. In June, Jose Antonio Llamas, another former member of the executive board of the Cuban-American National Foundation, declared that he had been a part of a secret paramilitary wing created in the early 90’s within that organization.

For years, the United States government has looked the other way when it came to Cuban terror cases. Just weeks before Sept. 11, 2001, the U.S. Department of Justice released from prison two men who had been convicted in the 1976 car-bombing assassination of a Chilean ambassador and an American in Washington, D.C. Pressure from Cuban exile groups helped gain their release.

Cuban-American politicians have never been shy about supporting Cuban extremist groups. In Miami, officials created Orlando Bosch Day, celebrating a man who has been accused of numerous terrorist activities throughout the world. Officials there have written on Congressional letterhead imploring the release of people accused of terrorist acts.

Associated Pukes. The ELECTED government of Nicaragua, the ELECTED government of Guatemala = "communist governments."

Even the FBI describes him as a "terrorist." But not the Associated Pukes and ABCcon 'News.'

And it wasn't just Cuba that this terrorist and killer was being paid with our tax dollars to war against (both CIA tax dollars and all those U.S. taxpayer subsidies of CANF and the Miami mafia). It was against democratic governments as well. (And, in fact, Cuba is more democratic than our propagandists would have us believe.)

It is by word "cleansings" like these that we are PROPAGANDIZED. There are a host of journalistic tricks and slimebag writing and production methods that are used to brainwash readers and viewers--mainly to the purpose of making the rich, the corporate and the war profiteers richer and more powerful. Confusing people about who is a terrorist is one of them. Confusing people about "communism" is another.

Our forces slaughtering a hundred thousand innocent people in the first weeks of bombing alone, in Iraq, is all about 'freedom and democracy," but Iraqi patriots who opposed this U.S. atrocity were called "terrorists." Just to name one big lie about who are terrorists.

A rightwing coup general in Honduras, in 2009, said that their coup was "to prevent communism from Venezuela reaching the United States." To name one big lie about Venezuela (and expose a number of other lies, for instance, that the U.S. opposed that coup).

The big lies are easier to see. It is the little lies--like calling Posada a mere "militant" (or portraying Hugo Chavez as a "dictator")--that sink into the unconscious and create IMPRESSIONS that are difficult to overcome, in trying to understand what is really going on in the world. With all of these techniques in play to confuse and brainwash us, our corporate media environment is more akin to "Alice in Wonderland" than to reality.

Looks as if it could actually go as far back as the Spanish-American war, which I just saw when I tried to look up William Randolph Hearst's instructions to illustrator Remington: You furnish the pictures I'll furnish the war.

It said that the entire war was undoubtedly fleshed out and thrust into being by yellow journalism. That was a damned long time ago. "Remember the Maine."

It makes you want to pull your hair out seeing a mass murdering, torturing monster like Luis Posada Carriles referred to as a "militant." That IS the highest insult to the American people looking for the truth from the people handing out the "news" to the public.

He'd have to be a leftist sending an envelope without a stamp to be deemed a criminal by the US corporate journalists.
