to be in the. movie tomorrow's bishop told me because drew was going to chile. so i went to miami to recruit assessments but when and you think i'm going to do nothing nothing done . community and remember they trained as cameramen to venezuela so they could get press credentials. if you're going to go to the last minute when they decided it wasn't worth risking their own lives. is very uncommon with. maurice bishop then informed vesey i know that castro was planning a visit to quito ecuador on his way home to cuba this iana contacted luis posada country less a former but tista policeman and

a well known anti castro militant to assassinate castro. got to know a few astro's told a student it is you who will be you know the solder assured me he could put a bullet in his forehead i had on the but i was a guaranteed escape plan the plot failed. on september nineteenth one thousand nine hundred seventy six i had dinner with orlando the telly heir at his house the telly there was a former chilean ambassador to washington and i had invited him to work with me at the institute for policy studies after dinner we went outside and i put my elbows on the hood of his car not suspecting there was a bomb planted in it thirty six hours later literally or drove to work with a colleague ronnie muffet. the telly or died in the explosion as did running minute.

shortly afterwards the f.b.i. arrested hosts a swat as and guillermo novo the very men they had listed in their assassination report on ricardo alarcon. two weeks later international terrorism took on dimensions. this is the c.b.s. evening news with walter cronkite that i have named nine days ago a cuban passenger jet on route from barbados to a battle crashed into the sea following an on board explosion seventy three persons fifty seven of them cuban were killed.

to cuban soil under bush and lewis pathetic and us were arrested as must a minds of the crime. let's hear response to the accusations. i'm not saying as you americans say no comment the cia was told that a q a cuban airliner was going to be hit. and didn't notify the cubans which one could argue was criminal. and i haven't met any investigator or agent who did not believe that luis

posada was involved in the blowing up of the airline really continue fighting and killing until we women. i don't make the connection between. and use on an airplane how how it went i mean i have children my own i think ages six to. zero on. that is just imagine what only three days after. after the cuban plane blew up over barbados. in which seventy three people died. in the cia headquarters and asked me. what i knew about fidel castro's trip to angola.

because it was angolan independence day. that fidel was expected to travel there. they were already planning the next attempt to kill fidel and. some exiles use the bombing of the coupon a plane over barbados to raise money for their own cause which was more violence against cuban targets in the united states. i receive a call from the mission. by did radio say they killed a cuban diplomat. only forty six. was fed ex it to the car i went to the place. like

it was called completely cold i may go seven says tonight's killing was an execution and warns that the next victim would be cuban ambassador to the u.n. role row. one morning i left my house. he and my bodyguard told me you know ambassador there's a little black book that i could buy that tree people you know it might be a bomb. the janitor across the street where the tree was the dominant bully to decided the bomb didn't belong by his tree but belongs by the tree that my house is in because you know you look. like a he so he put it in front of my house literally two alone because when do you think the bomb expert asked where's the boxes they told him the garbage truck.

so the driver of the truck took the bomb because he thought that it was a radio something valuable you know every time they see something of value in the trash they separate for them and come into this truck had to hold up in front of the venice walen embassy and with that then the two blocks away off and even it's when. so what we arrive. we went to the truck there was the driver i was with would for the i think the dual pickups something like these and that's a yes but that's my. that's my and if you lose it i'm sorry but this is for me this mom not on that you know i kidding that's not a bomb. i say listen does it pass a minute yes could you please put it in the door of the of the truck when he

placed the language in the door of the door and he saw that it's the vice state's there he opened the door and start running it. well the time has come you've seen the map reagan is our projected winner ronald wilson reagan ronald reagan's reelection provided greater impetus for the political plans of anti castro exiles in florida having understood that violence alone could not bring down the cuban government jorge moscow and also founded the cuban american national foundation with political action committees and lobbyists with reagan support moscow and also encouraged cuban americans who shared his agenda to run successfully for congress we are really the voice of the cuban american community in miami and we hope to have to convey to the all that fellow anglos our feelings about communism and why we're here in this country. it's happening in cuba is not

a failure of the cuban people it's a failure of sidel castro one of three. one thousand nine hundred eighty seven the soviet communist system was very sick but you know castro refused to give up the berlin wall. the fall of. the soviet union comes to an end in november one thousand nine hundred one the economy is going into a freefall and. decide that they have to wing. the death tax that they're going to carry out. our men to uncover plots against cuba. and where were they planted illness a powerful in miami miami. in one thousand nine hundred. s. hijacked the plane in cuba and flew it to miami. shortly afterwards he joined the

others to the rescue he was followed by antonio get a grown love i need. do is now and this and fernando gonzalez. years later these men would be known as the cuban five cuban intelligence agents whose job was to penetrate violent exile groups. if you could i mean we are gathering information about brothers to the rescue roast of. the people who were there were. you were. dire circumstances many of them were losing their lives in the attempt because they were using you know to be in there with you some people might say it was

a humanitarian organization. no quite the contrary while they confided their activity to rescuing rafters they had no problems with cuban authorities the f.b.i. had also infiltrated that organization. they're in former fed them information about what the brothers were doing and the f.b.i. doesn't infiltrate a humanitarian organization without a reason. why we never do anything you know we saw. the harassment. bring to the problem we prepared our own literature or we. we sent the. war nonviolence and confrontation with the government. in one thousand nine hundred ninety five the migration accords said rafters rescued at sea not be taken to the u.s.

but return to cuba. people stop giving money to bustle to go and his organization. why give money if the coast guard returns them to cuba. from the fog of war to the drums of war washington and its western regional allies are again agitating for a senseless conflict in the middle east this time against syria again it's all about weapons of mass destruction and the echo of the catastrophe called iraq western military intervention in syria only make things worse. do we speak your language or not a day of. school music programs and documentaries and spanish what matters to you breaking news a little tonnage of angola's stories. you hear. the choice all teach spanish find out more visit eye to eye ball tito it's calm.

i. i think people. pleasure to have you with us here today i'm sure. so mistletoes mission to save lives. and he begin a new mission which was basically to top the government of cuba with these

overflights throwing we flips out and dropping medals and different kind of you know propaganda out his window now we. are going towards. bliss network bustle toll claimed he successfully tested his new weapon in the everglades. his plan was to fire at somewhere in cuba. i went to cuba in january of ninety six in the course of a long dinner. president castro raised the issue of the overflights with me. basically saying. you've got to tell your government to. get control of these people that are making these very veiled threats and overflights

and please fix the problem. and we took legal. being charged with features compiled our award to stop those flight a proceeding possibly get a more sober. allowed on board that i mean flight as if those who are also wondering where the story was faced do if you can when you saw a flying around the country i mean dropping leaflets i don't want to lose all hollow alone. he got his aides on me our country can no longer doubt made such a thing. almost fourteen years after president eisenhower had suggested the cubans just shoot down the airplanes the cuban government seemed to follow his advice they shot down to three brothers to the rescue plane. the plane carrying who say both

returned safely to miami. in those two planes there were four people travelling to warn each plane they were pulver ice by makes in international airspace. best of the shoot down of the brothers to the rescue planes bill clinton's national security adviser presented him with policy options military strikes against cuba or a bill tightening the already tight embargo on cuba. clinton chose helms burton or the libertad act tightening the embargo. appoint you had to make a decision as to on what basis does they call me survive and they said well the only thing that we have immediately we don't depend on anyone is too recent so that

the right wing cuban exiles think this is one area that we have to hit and we have to get they launched a media savvy. campaign to make it unsafe for tourists to come to cuba. by publicly announcing that everything in cuba is a target that cuba has become a free fire zone borrowing this time from be a. sumo ball has exploded at the capri you know hotels and another at the hotel. where the person not the person i talked to called himself ignatius me diena later

on i realized he was very lace. he asked me if i'd like to visit cuba. the middle east as a tourist. for placing a few bombs he offered one thousand dollars plus all expenses the whole tourist packets. movement to. time a thousand dollars was big money in el salvador. but needed to take a trip for five days three days not barry still might have.

some time in this summer of nine hundred ninety eight feel gusto hands to. kiss a letter to deliver to president clinton because he knew that the two were to meet in the white house and in that letter he offers the clinton administration. information that they're willing to collaborate with the f.b.i. . moving at that moment. president clinton expressed his willingness to do something very. well asked if we would host an f.b.i. delegation. that would offer that of them but they got through it. and within two weeks an f.b.i. team goes to have on this is june one thousand nine hundred eighty three the f.b.i.

and the us government did absolutely nothing about these groups but i saw. you have provided all kinds of evidence to the f.b.i. the f.b.i. then see who were the people who were supplying the q uncle i mean the information that are due at nanda swiss charged with conspiracy to commit espionage. and are due in under us was also charged with conspiracy to commit murder although no evidence existed that he had transmitted details of the fatal brothers to the rescue flights so you didn't offer any information that would have helped the cuban government to shoot down the plane no not if you broke the record. amount. because. creep in there i got real growth. rory already knew that in our prior research

all the advice of. judge joan with sentence to write all hernandez to two terms of life without parole look at the draconian suits is that they got two life sentences plus fifteen years and this is supposed to be because of the brothers to the rescue shoot down and so forth which i have. absolutely no way of knowing the truth about because our government the cuban american community and others have so clouded the facts and so obvious skated all of the available material on it it's not whether they were sent here because acts of terrorism were being were happening in cuba you do not send people to spy in other countries because you think that they are committing or you say they're committing acts those five that are so you know try to be painted as heroes are murderers all the men were given maximum sentence is kept in solitary

confinement for more than a year barred from seeing certain family members and what they believe was the most prejudicial they were not granted a change of venue out of miami well there was ample evidence of intimidation of the jury and in fact some of the jurors during the four gear process when they were being selected specifically said that they were afraid for their families if they reached a verdict in this case that was not acceptable to the exile community in miami i do not understand why the trial for seated in dade county florida a change of venue to me as a layman is something that is demanded when there is absolutely no chance of the defendant or defendants getting a fair trial in the area where they're going to be tried. but it's a fact it's real it has made the cuban exiles to happy today.

white for differing askew. we can't wait for fidel castro to die for chavez to go crazy or for or. to make mistakes. remember general antonio my sales words. don't beg for freedom. you win it with a blade of a machete. not

all terrorists are treated the same those that are favored by the administration cooperate with impunity inside the united states people who want to partake in violent acts against you are protected you see individuals who are trying to stop those acts of terror is to try to. make all american law enforcement. aware of these activities and the people who end up being prosecuted. the people end up in jail and those who blow up airliners those who blog post tells those who can conduct acts of violence are free the toast of the town because the ministration is paralyzed by their own policy with respect to it to cuba with their own posse with respect to the war on terror which you see is a level duplicity that is credible i am posada. in general. you know if his conscience bothered him from his life as.

you know a military. and he said no that he slept like a baby we were fighting again the united state again through again another you know where you go and grossly i mean rose we are fighting anybody body what do you call a person who fights against what do you call that. who fight. but i mean is that a freedom fighter. in that you fighting counsel you want to feel. front i welcome the opportunity of having anyone assassinate fidel castro and any leader who was suppressing oppressing the people. and i'm glad you didn't shoot me you could of. just if you how did you ever as might be here you are you stupid dog and the little one is calm now you do recall even though you are talking to their

side and. you know it was going to hurt the racial speaking we did a. little bit it's very simple if you watch the embargo lifted you can release political prisoners and respect human rights repression and hold free and democratic elections we do business with all sorts of. quote some type of democratic countries where there are free elections there are we kill because we care because they are small and because there is political benefit to doing there in florida and you have been to cuba. and been free cuba also knows kuantan cuba's biggest crime is its desire to be a free un sold for income tree they would forgive cuba for the poor. through me somebody three of them or every word. i have is own foreign policy i didn't do that much i did what any cuban would do and we need to deal with the cuba of today not the cuba that we left not the cuba that we think is there but it isn't

we need to deal with the cuba that exist today. and hopefully before all the future of that cuba and the spanish say noon you swim and you swim to die on the shoulder. all we did was to use. to create a great a tribe and then taken some twenty exile community to be honest fifty yards from homes. where the real terrorists.

ok. dave a croc it will be detained here oliver jane it's a little while in the middle of the chesapeake bay on the virginia. county. and you're all in the chesapeake bay probably one of the best there is an. old picture of ten and your island before the channel was. oh here. well away up there. as goal. right here are some of the headstones from the graves it for you this is a fruit. that's what we don't want happen to taint your all and we want to get some protection and make sure that we don't go into the chesapeake bay like albert did in other communities.
