TERRORISM ALLEGATION: Mexico may look into CANF
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/local/10996387.htm

The Cuban American National Foundation is under fire from Mexican politicians demanding that the influential exile organization be investigated for ``anti-Cuban activities in Mexico.''

The lower house of Mexico's legislature is expected to vote next week on what it calls a ''point of accord'' on the issue.

''In Mexican territory, between 1959 and 2004, Mexicans and people from other nationalities have ended up dead, injured or affected by terrorism from organizations like CANF,'' the resolution's supporting documentation states.

For example, the Mexican documents accuse CANF of being involved in an explosion that took place in 1997 at the Cubanacan Travel offices in Mexico City. They say the bomb was placed by a Salvadoran mercenary contracted by exile activist Luis Posada Carriles, who is called an ''accomplice of Jorge Mas Canosa,'' the foundation's late leader.

1. >>''accomplice of Jorge Mas Canosa,'' the foundation's late leader.

I met this man once, I actually worked for one of his companies... he was big into communications in the Miami area... had hs sights set on becoming the "selected" president of Cuba. There were those in Miami who knew of him who stated something like, "we'll take Castro over Jorge any day" as hard as that may be to believe.

2. PBS Article for an unbiased view... perhaps. Link

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/latin_america/july-dec97/cuba_11-24.html



From penniless immigrant to multi-millionaire and powerful lobbyist, Jorge Mas Canosa rose to become an influential leader in the Cuban-American exile community before his death Sunday. Following a background report, Phil Ponce and guests discuss Jorge Mas Canosa's legacy.

4. Unbiased?

Nowhere does your link mention any of the terror ops directly related to Jorge Mas, his funding of said ops, and his organization's connection to said ops.

Mr Mas Canosa had boasted of personally strafing Cuban tourist beaches with machine guns, in an effort to terrorize Cuba's tourism economy.

The man was distilled filth.

on edit: The mouthpieces of Otto Reich et al - the Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald publisher, Alberto Ibargüen, is CEO of PBS. Not unbiased!

5. terror ops directly related to Jorge Mas

Perhaps you missed the word "perhaps". It wasn't there for nothing. :)


I heard plenty when I worked for one of his "posessions". Thanks for the link, I was looking for one.... that revealed a little more than the PBS thingy.

6. OK. Here's another

Havana Party

http://citypaper.net/articles/121400/sl.slant.shtml

But from the outset the CANF was involved in more than propaganda. It quickly became a haven for former CIA terrorists, many of them known to Mas Canosa from the era when he himself plotted to blow up a Cuban ship for the CIA.

For example, Mas Canosa appointed the brothers Guillermo and Ignacio Novo to the CANF’s "Information Commission." The two were implicated, though ultimately not convicted, in the September, 1976 assassination of former Chilean Ambassador Orlando Letelier. At that time, George Bush was director of the CIA. Recently released CIA documents reveal that a month before Letelier’s murder the U.S. Government was concerned about information indicating the Chilean junta was contemplating an assassination inside the United States. Two days after the murder, Bush received the following messages from his special assistant:

"(Name obscured) tells me that his people have noted a strong similarity between Letelier killing and the sort of thing that goes on all the time in Miami within the Cuban exile community.... (and) speculates that, if Chilean Govt did order Letelier’s killing, it may have hired Cuban thugs to do it."

Only under the succeeding Carter administration were four Miami Cubans convicted of the murder. Two (including Guillermo Novo) were cleared in 1981 after an appeal and second trial.

At the core of the CANF terrorist connection was Mas Canosa’s personal friendship with two other Cubans who had worked for the CIA, Luis Posada and Felix Rodriguez. In 1985 Rodriguez was reporting personally to then Vice President Bush’s office about his logistical support for the Contras from a base in El Salvador.

That same year, Mas Canosa helped Posada escape from a Venezuelan prison and relocate in El Salvador as part of the Rodriguez Contra supply operation. (Seven years later, at a $1,000-a-plate fund-raising dinner, President Bush said, "I salute Jorge Mas.")

Since then Posada has been arrested a number of times for attempts to murder Fidel Castro — most recently during November’s Ibero-American Summit in Panama, where he was arrested with three other Cuban exiles including Guillermo Novo.

The CANF has issued a press release denying published reports from Panama that the Foundation is paying the expenses of the attorney representing the four men. But Posada has spoken and written of CANF support for past terrorist attacks, as once documented in the New York Times.

7. So I suppose it's only supporting terrorists when someone else

is doing it. Hypocrisy will take this country down, it almost already has to a very large degree. Son of shrubber is determined to destroy us economically... just WITF does he work for.... really. It certainly ain't you and me.

WITF = Who in the f**k.

Coral Gables, Florida, claimed by the AIC;

-- September 5, 1988, a pipe bombing at Bela Cuba in Miami;

-- September 18, 1988, a bombing intended for a leader of the Reunion Flotilla, a group which advocates that all persons hould be able to enter or leave Cuba as they please, in Miami;

-- February 24, 1989, an attempted pipe bombing at Almacen El Espanol in Miami;

-- March 26, 1989, a bombing at Marazul Charters in Miami; and

-- September 10, 1989, a bombing at Super Optical in Hialeah.

Unfortunately, most all of these small groups (the anti Castro terra groups) have connections with, or are extensions of, US government agencies like the CIA, NED, SOA, etc. The hundreds of 'small acts of terra' in Miami are, essentially, US government sponsored terra against its own citizens.

If you live in Miami (and don't toe the anti Cuba line) you really know what terror feels like.
