Reply #213: I have consistantly pointed to the RIGHT-WING, BATISTA supporting

[Judi Lynn]

element which, with Jorge Mas Canosa controlled Miami politics, and the Miami Cuban immigrant community for decades, which changed the entire course of the Miami Herald through smearing feces all over the newspaper vending machines, and assaulting the newspaper's publisher, David Lawrence with an onslaught of death threats to him and his staff to the point BOTH he and his wife started having people check their cars before even turning the damned things on every day.

I'm talking about the same group of people who illegally created a law in Miami keeping Cuban artists, musicians, etc., etc. from even showing up in Miami.

I'm talking about the crowds mentioned in a link I provided above which gathered outside auditoriums when the Cuban musicians COULD perform, throwing eggs, rocks, bottles, D-cell batteries, and plastic bags full of human excrement at the people trying to attend the concerts.

I'm talking about the people who made death threats, bomb threats to the theaters where Cuban performers were scheduled to perform, blew up art galleries showing Cuban art, travel agencies selling trips to Cuba, etc., etc., bombed community figures who supported dialogue with Cuba, or merely criticized Cuban "exile" violence.

I'm talking about the instance mentioned in a post by a DU'er above in which a 90 year old, world famous Cuban was assaulted when HE showed up in Miami.



I'm talking about the hordes who crowded around Lázaro Gonzalez' house in Little Havana, waving their Cuban flags, and flying their American flags upside down.

I'm talking about the ones who said they were going to shut down Miami when they learned the American courts had found it was appropriate to send Elián back to live with his father, brother, cousins, aunts, uncles, 4 grandparents, neighborhood and school friends, and burned tires out in the streets of Miami, and shut down the major streets because they wanted to throw a city-wide tantrum.

I'm talking about the long, long history of FILTHY politics in Miami which arrived with the first wave of Batista-supporting "exiles" came from Miami, many of them, like Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtenen having admitted they and their families came here thinking they would only stay a few months then they'd get the U.S. to kick the Cuban government out, and they'd go right back.

I'm talking about the unbelievably corrupt Miami city government whose reputation for filthy election fraud proceeded the 2000 election all across the country by YEARS.

I'm talking about the extreme violence, the unbelievable bombings, shootings which arrived in Miami, as well as the appalling drug trafficking, which lead the FBI to name Miami the "Terror Capitol of the United States."

The United States Census Bureau has named Miami in multiple occassions, the country's "Poorest City in a Population Over 500,000," which means, if you can't grasp it, the poorest large city in the country time after time after time, as politicians and public figures like Dr. Miriam Alonso, Demetrio Perez, Jr., etc. stuff their pockets, furnish their houses, rip off their Cuban governemt-supported rent tenants, rip off the U.S. in the largest Medicare fraud in U.S. history, like Jeb Bush's friend, Miguel Recarey, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.

And what do these people have to say? What about Jorge Mas Canosa, the late little Miami dictator who had been planning to become Cuba's next President?

7/31/94 The Miami Herald reprints an interview with Jorge Mas Canosa from the Spanish newspaper El Pais. Mas Canosa was asked by El Pais whether he believed Americans would take over Cuba if Fidel Castro fell. The Herald quoted Mas Canosa as saying, in part, "They haven't even been able to take over Miami! If we have kicked them out of here, how could they possibly take over our own country?"
