Cuba Accused of Blocking U.S. Satellite Feeds to Iran

July 15, 2003 Miami Herald Nnancy San Martin

WASHINGTON -- Transmitters in Cuba are jamming the signals of at least four U.S.-based television stations owned by Iranian Americans who are critical of the Tehran regime and use satellites to transmit programs to Iran, according to broadcasters and a private U.S. firm that has pinpointed the source of the interference.

All the transmissions affected so far are beamed from Los Angeles -- which has a large population of Iranian exiles -- by privately owned stations that oppose Iran's theocratic government, officials of the four stations said.

U.S. government officials said they are still trying to determine whether three other satellite broadcasts, transmitted by the Voice of America from Washington to Iran, are also being disrupted.

I thought the Cuban government , I mean Castro, admitted it knew about these jamming devices and would look into it. The Iranian embassy in Havana must be real hard to find.

I think we ought to give them an hour to stop the jammers or we do it.

No warning next time.

Is jimmy (the nut) carter still providing Castro with American special intelligence information to overthrow the freedom loving world?

[Chummy]

That does it.

Start transmitting to Castro's televisions 24/7 of that commercial with the guy asking you to "buy his product".
