Cuba Ejects Polish Officials

[guajira]

This is a good sign that Cuba is not going to tolerate a Miami-sponsored meeting on the island. This planned meeting for tomorrow is equivalent to al qaeda having a meeting in Washington DC.

snippet:
WARSAW, Poland (UPI): Two Polish legislators plan to urge European officials to re-impose sanctions against Cuba after being ejected from the island nation.

Boguslaw Sonik and Jacek Protasiewicz, both members of Poland's Parliament, arrived Tuesday in Havana to attend a May 20 meeting of Cuban democracy activists, the EUobserver reported Wednesday.

They said they entered the country as tourists because Havana denied them diplomatic permits. Once at the airport, however, they said they were "frog-marched" to a plane headed for Mexico.

3. Why SHOULD Cuba allow this to happen? You're damned right.

It wouldn't be allowed here. Not in a million years.

CANF has sponsored an ongoing series of deadly violent actions since the 1960's. They must really believe _Bush is powerful if they've announced they're marching right in there to meet with the agents they've been supporting, and invite Cuban "exiles" or "exile-"engaged right-wingers from around the world to join them there, and their "dissidents!"

No country in the world tolerates or labels domestic citizens paid by, and working for, a foreign power to act for its imperial interests as “dissidents”. This is especially true of the U.S. where under Title 18, Section 951 of the U.S. Code, “anyone who agrees to operate within the United States subject to the direction or control of a foreign government or official would be subjected to criminal prosecution and a 10-year prison sentence”.

In Spain, the Government of Jose Maria Aznar has gone further and organised a seminar on Cuba to which representatives of the Miami right were invited along with the former Czech President, Vaclav Havel.

Havel and Aznar visited Miami in September and held high-level talks with the Miami leadership to discuss ways to bring about the overthrow of the Cuban government ‘from within’. A joint statement published by Havel and the former presidents of Poland and Hungary published across Europe in September, argued for the setting up of a ‘Cuba Democracy Fund’ to assist in bringing about ‘transition’ in Cuba.

All of this has the effect of making the Cuban government even more suspicious that there is an orchestrated campaign aimed at turning world public opinion against Cuba as a prelude to possible military action.

Already the Spanish and Czech governments have signed up to the Cuban American National Foundation programme for diplomatic isolation, economic pressure to restrict tourism in Cuba, tightening up on grants, loans and Cuban assets abroad, and political interference in Cuba.

In return for these ‘favours’ CANF is said to have offered the Europeans a permanent waiver or even removal of aspects of the Helms-Burton Law that affect the rights of European businessmen in the US who have investments in Cuba.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Regarding that last excerpted paragraph, who has authorized the Cuban American National Foundation the right to offer deals on U.S. restrictions in the very law they engineered and pushed through our own Congress, using Jesse Helms and Dan Burton as the sponsors?

Obviously they believe they control American foreign policy regarding Cuba.

5. Hope all the gusanos get frog-marched tomorrow

It would be bullshit if the Miami Castro-hating gusanos could get into Cuba, but peaceful Americans who just want to visit an interesting country aren't allowed in -- thanks to those same hate-filled gusanos!!
