Eric Holder Partners with Fidel Castro—Again

Attorney General has his finger out here, and has is finger in some
issues that seem to support Fidel’s interests more than the those of the U.S.

This week the U.S. Dept. of Justice, at U.S. taxpayer expense, transported a Lt. Col. of Fidel Castro’s KGB-trained secret police named Roberto Hernandez-Caballero to a U.S. courtroom.

The U.S. State Dept. classifies Cuba as a “State Sponsor of Terrorism,” and Fidel Castro classifies the U.S. as “the Great Enemy of Mankind!” A former colleague of Hernandez-Caballero sits in a U.S. federal prison after conviction in “the the most damaging spy scandal against the U.S. since the end of the Cold War.” Her name is Ana Montes and she was convicted in a different U.S. courtroom of the same crimes as Ethel and Julius Rosenberg–but on behalf of Fidel Castro.

Other colleagues of Senor Hernandez-Caballero named Elsa Montero, Jose Abad and Roberto Santiesteban were nabbed in the nick of time by J Edgar Hoover’s FBI and booted from the U.S. for plotting to detonate 500 kilos of TNT in Macy’s, Gimbel’s, Bloomingdale’s and Manhattan’s Grand Central Terminal on Black Friday 1962. Macy’s get’s 50,000 shoppers that one day.

Other colleagues of Hernandez-Caballero, one named Fernando Vecino-Alegret, helped torture American POW’s to death in Hanoi. In 1967 Fidel Castro sent several of his regime’s most promising sadists to North Vietnamese prison camps to instruct the Vietnamese reds in finer points of their profession. Testimony during Congressional hearings titled, “The Cuban Torture Program; Torture of American Prisoners by Cuban Agents” held in November 1999 provide some of the harrowing details.

The communists titled their torture program “the Cuba Project,” and it took place during 67-68 primarily at the Cu Loc POW camp (also known as “The Zoo”) on the southwestern edge of Hanoi. In brief, this “Cuba Project” was a Joseph Mengelese experiment run by Castroite Cubans to determine how much physical and psychological agony a human can endure before cracking.

The North Vietnamese—please note!–never, ever asked the Castroites for advice on combat. They knew better. Unlike director Steven Soderbergh, they saw through the whole “Che as Guerrilla” hoopla for what it was and is: a Castroite hoax to camouflage the Inspector Clousseau-like bumblings of an incurable military idiot–and more specifically, Castro’s own hand in the idiot’s offing.

No, the North Vietnamese sought Castroite tutelage only on torture of the defenseless, well aware of the Castroites expertise in this matter.

For their experiment the Castroites chose twenty American POWs. One died: Lieutenant Colonel Earl Cobeil, an Air Force F-105 pilot. His death came slowly, in agonizing stages, under torture. Upon learning his Castroite Cuban affiliation, the American POWs nicknamed Cobeil’s Cuban torturer, “Fidel.”

“The difference between the Vietnamese and “Fidel’ was that once the Vietnamese got what they wanted they let up, at least for a while,” testified fellow POW Captain Ray Vohden USN. “Not so with the Cubans.

Earl Cobeil had resisted ‘Fidel’ to the maximum. I heard the thud of the belt falling on Cobeil’s body again and again, as Fidel screamed “you son of a beech! I will show you! Kneel down!–KNEEL DOWN!” The Cubans unmercifully beat a mentally defenseless, sick American naval pilot to death.”

“Earl Cobeil was a complete physical disaster when we saw him,” testified another fellow POW, Col. Jack Bomar. “He had been tortured for days and days and days. His hands were almost severed from the manacles. He had bamboo in his shins. All kinds of welts up and down all over; his face was bloody. Then ‘Fidel’ began to beat him with a fan belt.”

According to the book Honor Bound the tortures of U.S. POWs by Castro’s agents (Hernandez-Caballero’s colleagues) were “the worst sieges of torture any American withstood in Hanoi.”

Until quite recently the chief Castroite torturer in North Vietnam, Fernando Vecino- Alegret, served as Cuba’s “Minister of Education.” So he’ll probably smilingly host many of those visiting delegations of smiling U.S. scholars and educators as a result of Obama’s recent promotion of “people-to-people” exchanges with Cuba.

Vecino-Alegret’s colleague Hernandez-Caballero, however, was not transported to a U.S. courtroom this week to defend himself against charges of being an official of a regime that murdered more political prisoners in its first three years in power than Hitler murdered in his first six, jailed political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin, has sponsored terrorism for half a century, came closest to nuking the United States, and gratuitously tortured American POW’s.

Instead Mr. Hernandez-Caballero is here to to testify against Luis Posada Carriles, and thus try to help the U.S. convict a one-time military colleague of the Americans tortured to death by his colleague’s in North Vietnam. Fidel Castro considers Luis Posada Carriles his number one enemy in the world. Posada volunteered for the Bay of Pigs invasion, and later joined the U.S. army emerging as a 2nd Lieutenant. After retiring from the U.S. Army he worked for the CIA putting out Soviet-started fires throughout Latin America. Among other projects, Posada helped the Reagan team squash Communism in Nicaragua by helping arms and train the Nicaraguan Contras. A few years later in Guatemala a Castro appointed death-squad ambushed Posada, riddled him with bullets and left him crippled.

He missed him then but, with Eric Holder’s help, Castro is still after Posada. Eric Holder’s Justice Department considers Posada a criminal for entering the U.S. illegally from Latin America. Since we seem to have so little of that nowadays, Obama’s justice department can afford to concentrate major muscle in going after Posada–with Castro’s help.

Eric Holder, let’s remember, also signed the order for the INS to mace, kick, stomp, and gun-butt their way into Lazaro Gonzalez’s house on the morning of April 22, 2000, wrench a bawling 6-year-old child from his family at machine-gun point and bundle him off to Castro’s Stalinist fiefdom, leaving 102 people injured, some seriously.

EL PASO, Texas -- A key prosecution witness in the trial of accused Cuban bomber Luis Posada Carriles broke down in tears Thursday as he accused the defense of harassing him and his family but denied that he once tried to kill himself.

Gilberto Abascal's outburst underscored his discomfort as defense attorney Arturo V. Hernandez aggressively challenged his credibility by asking dozens of questions about his finances and mental health problems.
Prosecutor Jerome Teresinski accused Hernandez of engaging in a ``character assassination'' designed ``to create a mistrial.''

Hernandez moved for a mistrial for a third time since the trial began on Jan. 10. U.S. District Court Judge Kathleen Cardone again denied the motion.

Abascal was found weeping outside the courtroom as the trial was about to resume Thursday afternoon, and was brought inside, without the jury present, to explain his problem.

Crying and blowing his nose on a tissue, he said his ex-wife and two children in Miami had called earlier in the day and told him ``they never wanted to hear anything from me ever again.''

They told him Hernandez had subpoenaed the ex-wife to testify at the trial and that a family photo the defense introduced as evidence was ``stolen,'' Abascal claimed, by people ``pretending to be federal agents.''
Pointing at the Miami-based Hernandez, Abascal declared, ``He's messing with my family.''

The defense lawyer was heard loudly replying, at what was supposed to be a private consultation with Teresinski and Cardone, ``I have done nothing except subpoena witnesses.''

Cardone told Abascal he could complain to the FBI about the photo, but warned him to watch his words in front of the jury. ``I don't expect any more outbursts . . . I will not allow it,'' she said.

Abascal was the main prosecution witness on the charges that Posada lied when he claimed under oath that he was smuggled from Mexico to Texas in 2005. The witness testified that Cuban exiles smuggled him from Mexico to Miami by sea.

The CIA-trained explosives expert also stands accused of lying when he denied any responsibility for the 1997 bombings of nine Cuban tourist spots, which killed one Italian visitor, and when he denied ever having had a Guatemalan passport.

The clashes continued when the jury returned to the courtroom and Hernandez pushed on with questions about the 45-year-old Hialeah handyman's record of mental health issues.

Reports attached to Abascal's petition for mental disability payments noted he suffered from ``paranoia,'' ``psychotic features'' and ``command hallucinations'' -- none of them explained in detail.

Asked by Hernandez if he ever felt persecuted, the witness shot back, ``Yes, by you.'' When the defense dropped a large paper clip, Abascal snapped, ``That wasn't my fault.''

Abascal at one point claimed he had ``nightmares, not hallucinations,'' and at another acknowledged that he did when he did not take his medicine.

Two of the reports noted Abascal tried to hang himself in 2004 but the witness said he never tried to commit suicide. He lied to the doctors, he said, because he had run out of his medicines, had no money to buy more and needed their help with a quick resupply.

He voluntarily committed himself for one night at the Citrus Hill healthcare in 2004, and has continued to be treated there for the past six years.

Of course: "Birds (re. Progressive/Socialist/Marxist Authoritarians & Illegals) flock together" & quite supportively & echoingly always favor each others' bogus superiority & supremacy claims.

Such pretty-much explains why decent, good & patriotic American Citizen/Taxpayer (most Arizonans inclusive) Suckers often get that proverbial short-end-of-the-stick from most all Obama/Holder type Dictatorially Ruling Lawyers (elected or appointed),...and USA's MANY Enemies & MANY Criminally Illegal Aliens JUST DO NOT!!!

Sad, but true. MY/YOUR/OUR and/or Taxpayer monies are typically wasted flying deported foreign criminals back here to America,...merely so can jail Fellow Americans just for doing jobs Politically-Incorrectly or not as: "Sensitively" or panderingly much preferred. What another lordly audacious abuse of authority & National Shame!
