from the streets of canada. or even to maurice bishop told me because drew was going to chile. so i went to miami to recruit assessments but when on. because it will do nothing nothing done. community and remember they trained as cameramen in venezuela so they could get press credentials. if you don't go into it at 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 vesey on

a 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 was told and stood it it is you who will be your pursuit are assured me he could put a bullet in his forehead and 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 tel year 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 the telly or drove to work with a colleague ronni moffitt.

the telly or died in the explosion as did running off and. shortly afterwards the f.b.i. arrested hosts a swat as and dmo novel 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 evening nine days ago a cuban passenger jet on route from barbados to a band of 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 array of us were arrested as must a months of the crime. what's your response to the accusations. i'm not saying as you american 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 or you really continue fighting and killing until we women aren't. i don't make the connection between. and use on an airplane how how it went i mean i have children my children are they age six through. oh for sure on. that i just imagine only three days after i went after the cuban plane blew up over barbados. in which seventy three people died. i think the cia headquarters asked me. what i knew

about fidel castro's trip to angola. because it was angolan independence day i. feel bill 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 the radio that say they killed a cuban diplomat. only forty six.

that. was fed ex i took the car i went to the place. it was. completely cold or 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 rowe. one morning i left my house. he and my bodyguard told me you know ambassador there's a little black book that i put by that tree people you know it now might be a bomb. the janitor across the street where the tree was. this decided the bomb didn't belong by his tree but it's so long by the tree at that my house is you know you walk through so 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 told him the garbage truck took it. 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 separated for them and come in your truck had pulled up in front of the venice walen embassy you know it might have been the two blocks away. minutes 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 it yes but that's my. that's my. if you lose it i'm sorry this is for me listen. i'm not and i don't know that you're kidding that's not a bomb. i say listen does it pass

a man that yes would 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 stace 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 muskaan 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 fidel castro refused to give up the burning 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 make us 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. in one thousand nine hundred run

a going solace 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 know what i do in on 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 those who was. saving the lives of the people who were there were a few were. dire circumstances many of them were losing their lives because they were using you know to be anything that was.

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 better organization that on. there and former fed them information about what the brothers were doing when 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 sent the. war nonviolence and confrontation with the government i've given you a normal. one but in one thousand nine hundred five the migration accords said

rafters rescued at sea would not be taken to the us but returned to cuba people stopped giving money to bus salto and his organization you know why give us a little money if the coast guard returns them to cuba. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture. but he sees things that sighted people don't notice.

but he hears things that most people never to call him disabled but he's the world's first deaf and blind doctor of science. professor i think the other support of. the great life. against the odds. 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 out and dropping medals and different kind of you know propaganda out his window and now we. are going towards. 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. been charged with features compound our award to stop those flights a procedure getting harvey pitt a member so to. allow that board that i mean fly those who are also wondering where the story was based do if you can when you saw the flying around the country i mean dropping leaflets i don't want to lose hollow alone. i think that is the case on me our country can no longer doubt me that 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 place. the plane carrying who say both returned safely to miami. and those two planes there were four people travelling to warn each plane they were pulver ice by makes in international airspace. best of the shootdown 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 shows helms burton or the libertad act tightening the embargo. a point 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 they're right wing cuban exiles and 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. place to mold bombs exploded at the capri you know hotels and another at the hotel.

when a person of the person i talked to called himself ignatius me diena later on i realized he was out of jail ace. 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 the expenses the whole tourist packets. the movement to. time a thousand

dollars was big money in el salvador. needed to take a trip for five days three days but not barry still might have. some time in this summer of ninety ninety eight feel gusto hands to go to see the markets a letter to deliver to president clinton because he knew that the two were to meet in the white house and in that letter. or first they 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. going to feel 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 u.s. 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 . was charged with conspiracy to commit espionage. and are due in london 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 help the cuban government to shoot down the plane no not if you broke the record for the.

amount of work. for the. cream. we have grown. rory already knew that in our prior research for the advice of. the. judge joan was sentenced to write a hernandez to two terms of life without parole look at the draconian souness's 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 obviously gated all of the available material on it it's not whether they were sent here because acts of terrorism were being 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 dare 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 proceeded 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 tapi today. white for differing of us. we can't wait for fidel castro to die for chavez to go crazy or for. 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 clearly 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 as a 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

right to cuba with their own posse with respect to the war on terror which you see is the level of the pacific that is credible i asked 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 got through again and nothing away again and grossly i mean roger we are fighting a body what do you call a person who fights against everything what do you call that. who fight. but i mean is that a freedom fighter. in that you're fighting a council you want to free. 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 did and should be you could have. just if you had neither of us might be here you are you stupid dog and the little one has come now you do recall even though you are talking to their deciding not. to be there you know what's going on during the racial speaking we did a. little it's very simple if you watch the embargo lifted he can release political prisoners she can 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're small and because there's political benefit to doing it in florida and you've been to cuba. and been free cuba also knows kuantan cuba's biggest crime is its desire to be a free and so for income tree they would forgive cuba for the poor. through

me somebody third boomer 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 exists today. and hopefully before. the future of that cuba and the spanish say. you swim and you swim to die on the shoulder. all we did was to use. to create a great a tribe and take us home between the exile community and the onlookers fifty yards from homes. where the real terrorists. leads.

the. economic ups and downs in the final months day the london new york sank night and the rest look like it's going to be casey will be everything we can all say. the interview.

going to get was a. very hard to take place again there is a club that has that split that there was. a call and it was. the first segment plus the slow slow slow slow full length play the sax player. the

first. story seems so you think you understand it and then something else you hear sees some other part of it and realize everything is. welcome to the big picture plan. led mission and free accreditation streets in store charges free arrangements three risk free studio type priests. the old free blog morning video for your media project a free media. tom. clements president obama says.
