>In relation to communications between Faget and Pedro Font, these have nothing

>being a spy in the service of Cuba be constructed and divulged to the U.S. and
>international public?
>
>What is truly strange and astonishing is that after one year of alleged
>suspicions concerning this INS official, on February 11in other words exactly
>11 days prior to the decisive court hearing on the delicate case of Elián’s
>kidnapping convened by an uncompromising judgeFBI and INS officials located in
>Miami decided to do what they did: to set up a clumsy trap for a key man in
>terms of immigration decisions working for an institution as important as the
>U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, which has played a decisive role
>in recognizing the rights of the child’s father, by informing him of the
>alleged desertion of a diplomat from the Cuban Interests Section in
>Washington.
>
>The government of the United States is fully aware of the irrefutable fact
>that our Interests Section does not engage in intelligence work in that
>country. On the other hand, how distinct that is from what occurs with its
>Interests Section in Cuba! Members of the Central Intelligence Agency, whose
>select chief and his squad are known chapter and verse to us, undertake their
>task with the greatest professionalism possible, spying on our defense forces,
>our security mechanisms, our administration, our politics, our economy, our
>industry, our agriculture and our science; the health, personal details and
>locations of our leaders and cadres; and any detail that could be useful to
>their destabilization plans and their never-abandoned projects for destroying
>the Revolution by any means possible. Other experts on various subjects,
>together with members of the CIA, attempt to establish relations with the most
>diverse sectors of the country to search for information, to recruit spies and
>agents of all kinds, to create groups, supply funds, to give out instructions
>and launch political slogans. They participate in public events of a
>subversive nature, promote counterrevolutionary activities, contempt for the
>law and any disorder whatsoever. They coordinate the actions of their
>minuscule and ever-divided groups, encourage them, defend them, give them
>publicity and exalt them at international level.
>
>They organize meetings of up to dozens of Cubans on their payroll in buildings
>belonging to the U.S. Interests Section and the residences of their highest
>officials to give them encouragement and instructions, and to sabotage U.S.
>personalities and delegations arriving in Cuba, of whom they demand meetings
>with the group leaders in their service, by supplying them with distorted
>reports on the country and taking up all their available time.
>
>With the pretext of confirming how the migratory agreements are proceeding,
>they snoop around the entire island, make numerous contacts and, well beyond
>monitoring, conspire at their whim. They likewise coordinate their actions
>with certain embassies of aligned countries which lend themselves to their
>perfidious plans.
>
>If we were to ask the U.S. Interests Section in Cuba to withdraw officials who
>are actively participating in illegal and highly undiplomatic acts, that
>office would be virtually abandoned.
>
>The central Interests Section building is full of sophisticated listening and
>spying devices, cable decoders and a communications interceptor. Nobody can be
>sure that cellular phones or those functioning via microwaves are not being
>intercepted there, including those made by subterranean or aerial lines.
>Far-reaching military action against our country could even be directed from
>that building.
>
>Absolutely nothing like that is carried out by officials in our Interests
>Section in Washington. How can those who are inventing a similar fabrication
>against Cuba be so incredibly dishonest?
>
>Yet another adventure, yet another major error. Let’s see how their accusation
>can be sustained.

>If they were capable of demonstrating that an official from our Interests
>Section had recruited a INS official to utilize as a spy in the service of
>Cuba, not only would we be prepared to withdraw him or her immediately, but to
>subject him or her to trial before our courts for a grave and compromising act
>of indiscipline.
>
>We reiterate to the U.S. government that instead of expelling an official from
>our Interests Section, it should agree to debate the issue in a U.S. federal
>court.
>
>There are three hypotheses as to what has happened: One: That based on the
>antecedents referred to, they wanted to stage a spectacular show just before
>the hearing, and thus sacrificing an official on the point of retiring, and
>whom they affirm lent great service to the country over 34 years, thus
>committing a great injustice to him. Two: That the accused official had
>received instructions to seek out an apparently normal contact with some
>official from our Interests Section, which could be used at any moment for a
>major provocation. Three: That this is a major conspiracy against the higher
>agencies of government promoted by the Cuban-American mafia with the
>complicity of corrupt Miami FBI and INS officials.
>
>Whichever of these three hypotheses is the correct one, at this point it is a
>fact that, instead of trying to rectify the mattereven though this could be an
>innocent person, seeking in that case the pretext of his relationship with a
>New York Cuban-American entrepreneur and a certain evident indiscretion in his
>contact with him, or simply under the threat of affecting his retirement and
>his entrepreneurial aspirationsthey are attempting at all costs to force him
>to say what they want him to say. It remains to be seen what happens to his
>friend Peter Font.
>
>This clumsy fabrication does not in the least worry us. Once again they have
>put their foot in it and are going to make great fools of themselves. Finally,
>something extremely strange. According to information that began to circulate
>last night and was confirmed today, less than 36 hours before the federal
>court hearing, the serious and uncompromising judge who was disturbing the
>dreams and entrails of the powerful terrorist mafia and filling them with
>fear, apparently suffered a brain hemorrhage. This recalls events during the
>assassination of President John F. Kennedy: someone in the police station
>itself murdered the allegedly guilty party, who took with him who knows how
>many secrets with him to the grave.
>
>We wish judge Hoeveler a speedy recovery. A new magistrate is to be appointed
>very soon from the ‘accurate and impartial computer’ to conclude the case.
>However, an in-depth investigation would be more worthwhile. The mafia learnt
>a lot from their masters on the art of killing in the most diverse ways; they
>have accomplices all over the place and above all, a lot of money. Is it
>simply a huge coincidence? The least that could perhaps be said is that so
>much trickery, so much pressure and so much dirt from the Miami dregs provoked
>his brain hemorrhage.
>
>The fact is that barely 48 hours after the Baraguá Oath, we have now been
>obliged to wage, with yesterday’s impressive and combative march, our first
>victorious combat.
