Kissing Castro Where the Sun Doesn't Shine |
|
By April Shenandoah TORONTO, May 15, 2002 -- With every hot story, the news media will milk it for all it's worth -- even when it is over. When stories do die, they usually resurface from time to time. Why the exception with the Elian Gonzalez case? Haven't journalists been curious after the fact as to the whereabouts and emotional conditions of the key players - especially cousin Marisleysis who Elian (right) was so attached to and the great-uncle, Lazaro? And what about the fisherman, Donato Dalrymple who rescued the six year old from the Atlantic Ocean -- and later tried to protect him by hiding in the closet when the submachine gun wheeling feds broke down the doors and raided the Gonzalez home? Where were the interviews with the Mayor of Miami and Governor Bush? It's as if the family disappeared and Elian never existed, except for when Castro wants to put out a little propaganda. Instinct tells me that the Justice Department, the Immigration and Naturalization Service and Janet Reno muzzled everybody concerned. Since that April 22, 2000 Easter morning (5:15am), when little Elian was taken by force, there has been barely a peep out of anyone. At long last, information explaining the silence may be forthcoming. Conservative watchdog group, Judicial Watch released an internal INS e-mail memo making claims of anti-Cuban-American bias at the INS headquarters in Miami. Doris Meissner, chief of the INS, ordered that any copies of the memo be destroyed. It is noted that she may have also ordered the destruction of other case documents as she ordered that no more discussions related to Elian's case be put in writing. Recently, Armando Gutierrez, former spokesman for Elian's Miami relatives, has requested that U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft (left) investigate the possible destruction of internal documents by high-ranking INS officials. Meissner did acknowledge that no notes be taken or memos circulated concerning the boy's case because the issue is too sensitive. Your d--- right it is too sensitive! The entire scenario played out by Janet Reno and the Clinton administration was/is insensitive and evil! My heart broke -- not only for Elian but also for the country. Those of us that were so affected, almost sick, knew it was a sign of what America has become. Senator Bob Smith from New Hampshire was deeply troubled, as he knew exactly what was going down. He was a go-between consoling and assisting the family as best he could. When Elian was being held at Andrews Air Force Base with his father, Senator Smith was turned away not being allowed to enter. Again - a United States senator denied access to a military base! What does that say? When I went to the Senator's office in Washington, DC and asked the obvious questions of why this was happening in America, this is the answer I received, "They are all Communists." Elian's father, Juan Miguel, was silenced while he was in this country. He was watched every minute and never spoke for himself. If allowed, he would have freely gone to Miami to visit his relatives. It should have been a family matter instead of an orchestrated Gestapo operation ordered by Castro. Unbeknownst to most of us, there must be a reason that our government kowtows to dictators. Now we have former President Carter and journalist Kate Snow propagandizing for Castro from Havana. CNN reported, "According to the United Nations", 96% of Cuban students are literate and learning English as well as Spanish. Cuba has turned mansions into schools of learning. Ms. Snow was interviewing a Cuban woman about healthcare. "We were born with that 'right' we do not know anything else." The news piece was blatantly glorifying the Cuban way of life making it sound as if they have a system that "works." The average American will actually buy that pack of lies. Then -- when we talk of socialized medicine and the government controlling our children, those same American people will think it is a good idea. Propaganda works! Take a look around! Mr. Carter, you could have done a good deed and gone to Cardenas and said "Hi!" to Elian for all of us. Perhaps the media could have followed with their cameras so we could have seen for ourselves that he is living as well as Castro has said. Oh, you were not allowed to go there? Thanks anyway, at least you kissed Castro's b--- for us! © American Partisan, 2002. Distributed in partnership with Globalvision News Network (www.gvnews.net). All rights reserved. |
