In the midst of the usual news generated in the city of Miami, ruled by the bellicose bitconian Mayor Francis Suarez, along with announcing: a man is robbed and shot in a pharmacy; a Florida man is convicted for illegally trafficking turtles and poisonous snakes; a man who killed another in a popcorn case in a Florida movie theater is acquitted, a remake appears: a commission to support a transition to democracy in Cuba is created in Miami.
A group of Miami’s Cuban counterrevolutionary businessmen met in Miami recently to revive the art of making money through politics. They gathered to announce, once again, the creation of a commission for a “legitimate, orderly and non-arbitrary and chaotic transition in Cuba”.
In a ceremony held at the museum and headquarters of the once defeated 2506th Assault Brigade, now a club of nostalgic old-timers, they announced the creation of an ideology and program that proposes essential guidelines for the achievement of a transition on the island on “solid and democratic bases” and “without communism”, according to terrorist Luis Manuel de la caridad Zúñiga Rey, who landed in Cuba with weapons in his hand, to murder and plant bombs in the pursuit of “democracy”.
The so-called “Commission of support for the transition in Cuba” is divided into several subcommittees (military, democratic education, electoral and legal system, medical assistance and “exile” support, among others) that will work on the elaboration of a program that will serve for the consolidation of a “process of transition and reconstruction” in the island, as this reiterated spawn in the route of profit is promoted.
Zuñiga advanced that this “proposal of support to the transition” will be ready for its presentation to the Cuban people on May 20. But who is this transverted terrorist, and stubborn profiteer?
During the months in which the Miami television channels showed the kidnapped Cuban child Elián González, surrounded by terrorists of Cuban origin, one of them was the parasite Zúñiga Rey, employee of the Cuban-American National Foundation (CANF), paradoxically in charge of the program on Human Rights that spawned terror for the counterrevolutionary mafia.
A little earlier, he changed his disguise, packed his suitcases and coats and went to Geneva, Switzerland, to appear before the UN Human Rights Commission. It is not the first time that he has tried, in vain, to deceive and confuse his illustrious self.
This man could be anything but a defender of Human Rights, his bulky criminal record as a terrorist, available to any national or international reader, is a guarantee that he has proudly exhibited and been enriched throughout his life, that is why CANF picked him up when he arrived at the American dream.
A passion for terrorism has been a common practice for Zúñiga Rey for more than forty years, which is why he was sanctioned in Cuba. In October 1970, he escaped from where he was interned and tried to illegally enter the Guantanamo Naval Base, which he failed to do when he was arrested in Baracoa, Oriente. Zúñiga Rey, together with fellow inmate Jorge O. Hernández González, established close relations with Carlos Viera Ramos, hijacker of a Boing 727 airplane from the United States, who was in prison for that act.
On April 11, 1997, the UN Commission on Human Rights, meeting in Geneva at its 54th Session, approved by a roll call vote of 28 votes to none against and 23 abstentions, a resolution reiterating its unequivocal condemnation of all acts, methods and practices of terrorism, and urged all special rapporteurs to address the consequences of terrorist acts, methods and practices in their reports to the Commission.
Furthermore, the Commission expressed its conviction that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations can never be justified, in any case, or as a means to promote and protect human rights, bearing in mind that the most essential and fundamental human right is the right to life, and was concerned about the gross violations of human rights by terrorists.
For this reason, the then Special Rapporteur of the Commission on Human Rights, Enrique Bernales Ballesteros commented on the use of mercenaries as a means of violating human rights, in his report in March 1998, expressed his deep concern about the terrorist acts committed by Central American mercenaries in Cuba in 1997, which caused one death and a dozen people wounded, as well as created an environment that destroys and destroys human rights.
Also in another report, as a result of its visit to Havana in September 1999, it identified, mentioned and included in its conclusions the name of the terrorist Zúñiga Rey. It has been demonstrated and recognized by its authors that the terrorist actions executed in Cuba were plotted, prepared and financed on behalf of CANF with headquarters in Miami, Florida, which he once again represented before the UN Commission on Human Rights in Geneva. Even there, he received instructions by fax sent by Mariela Ferreti, spokeswoman for the mafia.
The obligatory question, which is difficult to answer, is: What was an American terrorist of Cuban origin doing talking about human rights in Geneva? What reason or morality can assist someone who denies, with his actions, the essence of what he claims to defend? It would be worse to conceive that the members of the Human Rights Commission, who three years before had condemned terrorism in their midst, would impassively admit the oratory of a terrorist in mind and deed.
The now businessman of the counterrevolution, involved in the juicy project of the so-called “commission” knows that this is strictly true, verifiable and impossible to deny. How can he not admit that in 1973 he illegally entered the Guantanamo Naval Base? That once in the United States he joined counterrevolutionary organizations of Cuban emigrants, that on August 1, 1974 he disembarked in Cuba with weapons and explosives, together with the terrorists Miguel Sales Figueroa, who later became a human rights defender and “writer” and Rodolfo Luis Camps Verdecia, that the boat used was of the “Thunderbird” type, license plate Fla. 8722, 23 feet long and with the identifying name of “Malú”. That among the weapons of war he was carrying were several AR-15 rifles, grenades and explosives to carry out terrorist actions. How could he explain to the honorable members of the then Human Rights Commission how after being generously pardoned by the government of Cuba in 1988, and then falsifying his prison résumé to claim to have served 19 years in prison in Cuba, he immediately enlisted, upon arriving in Miami, in the aforementioned terrorist Foundation, created in 1981 as a non-profit corporation, in order not to pay taxes, supposedly with the facade of carrying out harmless influence in favor of its objectives within the United States.
This preposterous and mendacious terrorist can detail the objectives of his Canadian emissary John Trepanier whom he sent to Cuba in 1992 to organize internal cells for terrorist purposes; or what humanist purposes inspired him to recruit the Cuban Olfiris Perez Cabrera in the United States in 1993 to poison cattle and drinking water in large areas and specify how much he paid him for these services; Or not to make this list longer, to deny that he recruited in the same year in the same country the Cuban Ramón de la Caridad Inda Ramos, with the specific mission of burning sugar cane plantations and studying for the purpose of terror, economic and transportation objectives.
In 1997 he directed the contacts abroad with the Guatemalan citizen Percy Francisco Alvarado Godoy, recruited by the FNCA to carry out terrorist actions in Cuba, who was given the suggestive name of “Agent 44” and who in reality was a Central American citizen at the service of the Cuban State Security. Alvarado Godoy, under oath, denounced during the trial of the Central American mercenaries, held in 1999, all his relations with Zúñiga Rey and the FNCA. The testimony given and Alvarado himself are available to unmask, if necessary, this disqualified to talk about human rights and terrorist who is once again preparing to work for the sake of a “democratic transition in Cuba”.
