MEXICO AND THE CUBAN TERRORIST REGIME CLOSE RANKS

On Wednesday, February 27, the Mexican Minister of Foreign Relations, Carlos Castañeda, stated during a ceremony of the inauguration of the Mexican Cultural Center in Miami that: “the Mexican Embassies’ doors around the world, as well as Mexico itself, were open to all the Cubans.”

No sooner had he ended his speech that twenty-one Cubans broke into the Mexican Embassy in Havana seeking political asylum. Hundreds of young Cubans began to gather around the Embassy trying to make good the offer of the Mexican Chancellor. Soon after, the CNN cameras caught how trucks of Castro’s ruffians arrived armed with iron bars and began assaulting everybody, including two reporters from Reuters who were brutally attacked and robbed of their cameras. These thugs were the infamous “brigades of rapid assault” formed by Castro’s vicious henchmen. Several hundred of Cubans were detained just for being in the vicinity.

Unfortunately, Cubans living on the Island prison were not familiar with the “clintonesque’s” double talk of the Mexican politicians. It seems that what the Mexican Chancellor meant to say was that Mexico and its embassies are open to Castro’s agents and the Cuban communists, not to Cubans seeking freedom from communist bondage. In reality, is message was a reiteration of the Mexican foreign policy toward Cuba during the past 43 years, which has been directed by Fidel Castro and not by whomever happens to be in the Mexican presidency.

Although Mexico during the last 43 years has been closing its doors to freedom seeking Cubans, it nevertheless acted very differently when those asking for asylum were communists or terrorists. In 1973, when Castro’s puppet, Salvador Allende was deposed in Chile, Mexico opened the doors of its embassies and diplomatic residences to more than 400 Chilean communists, among them many terrorists. On that occasion, the Mexican President didn’t ask General Pinochet to detain those who were asking for asylum but instead he reminded him of the Caracas’ Inter-American Asylum Treaty of 1954 that Mexico and Chile, as well the rest of Latin American were signatories. Pinochet abided by the Treaty and showed to be more respectful of international law than President Fox, allowing his enemies to leave the country without any interference.

Mexico also received with open arms, LeonTrostky and thousands of communist Spaniards who fled with the gold of the Spanish people at the end of the Spanish civil war. Mexico has maintained a policy of offering haven and comfort to communists and terrorists when they are in trouble; but has maintained or given no help to the victims of communist regimes who seek refuge in Mexico. When Batista pardoned Castro, the later left Cuba and moved to Mexico where he was allowed to train and arm a force to invade Cuba. Castro departed from Mexican soil in an operation that brought Cuba the worst and most brutal regime ever in the hemisphere. For 43 years and without remorse, Mexico has supported Castro’s murderous regime while denying refuge to those Cubans fleeing the Cuban hell.

After the Cubans broke into the Mexican Embassy, president Fox took the servile and shameful step of calling the Cuban tyrant to thank and congratulate him for the swift control of the situation by the “brigades of rapid assault” infamously known by their brutal beating of defenseless civilians. A few hours later, Fox called Castro again authorizing him to violate the sovereignty of the Mexican Embassy and allowing Castro’s henchmen to come into Mexican territory and forcefully evict the unfortunate ones who trusted the promises made by the Mexican Chancellor just two days earlier. The Ambassador falsely promised those seeking asylum that they were not going to be sent back to Castro. On Friday, at 4 a.m., as they slept, Castro’s henchmen entered the Embassy and took them out by force with the approval of the Mexican Ambassador.

Those Cubans were in Mexican territory and were under the protection of the Mexican government according to the Inter-American Asylum Treaty; therefore, it constituted a gross violation of that Treaty, a treaty that even General Pinochet respected during his war against terrorism in Chile. I never expected Castro to respect any international civilized norm of conduct, but also, I never expected Fox to act just as the Cuban dictator did with total disrespect for international law.

Keeping in mind that Stalin’s agents assassinated Leon Trostky in Mexico, Cubans living or visiting Mexico should be extremely concerned when Mexico gave a free hand to Castro’s henchmen to come into Mexican territory and kidnap Cuban nationals.

Mexico has lost any moral authority it might have to demand immigration amnesty for those Mexicans living illegally in the U.S. while the Mexican government grossly violated the human rights of the Cubans who sought asylum in its Embassy. “You will be measured with the same rule that you measure others.”

"These are young people facing a difficult economic situation, like many in Latin America," said Gloria Abella of Mexico's Foreign Relations Department. This action by the Mexican government opens the doors for the U.S.’s deportation of over 6 million Mexicans living illegally in this country; deportation that is much more than justified since the Mexicans have a free democratic government in their country where human rights are respected, unlike the case of the Cubans.

"The government of Mexico is not going to provide preferential treatment simply because they have invaded the embassy," Mexican Ambassador Ricardo Pascoe Pierce said Friday in an interview with Radio Formato in Mexico City, declaration that puts in a dire situation the millions of Mexicans who have invaded the U.S. crossing its borders illegally.

In a televised interview re-transmitted Friday afternoon by the Spanish National T.V. in Madrid, the Mexican Ambassador in Havana, Mr. Pascoe, shamelessly accused the U.S. government of being behind what happened in his Embassy. This scum of the earth, after betraying those who tried to seek asylum, defamed them by echoing Castro’s propaganda and portraying them as common criminals. After delivering them into the hands of their torturers, the Mexican government had the gall to declare that it would not press charges, and "taking into account that the assailants were led and manipulated, the government of Mexico asked Cuban authorities to consider humanitarian factors in the treatment of the cases."

I ask the Mexican government, manipulation by whom? Perhaps, as many Cuban exiles suggest, by the Cuban government in cahoots with the Mexican Ambassador, Pascoe, in order to force the resignation of the Mexican Chancellor, Mr. Castañeda, for his declaration in Miami that displeased Castro so deeply?

The Mexican vote at the United Nations’ Human Rights Commission at Geneva, would clarify if Mexico is ready to deal with the free and democratic Republic of Cuba, as it appears to infer the Mexican Chancellor the declaration he made recently in Havana; or, once again, the Mexican government tramples the Universal Human Rights Declaration and the Inter-American Asylum Treaty, and votes in favor of Castro continuing its complicity with his crimes against humanity and continue supporting, even more firmly, as the Mexican Ambassador declared, a regime that has been the principal center of international terrorism in this hemisphere during more than 4 decades.

Mexico has a long, long history of playing patty-cake with Castro. They have been leaders among the Latin American group of countries who support Castro's regime and criticize the US for its trade embargo. It's too bad that with the change of government under Vincente Fox Mexico's position has not changed.

Question:Whats the difference between some Mexicans and some Cubans.

Answer: The majority of Mexicans still believe in socialismo.

The majority of Cubans know its a big lie that robbed them of their freedom.

Castro’s has a powerful, professional combat proven army, second only to the U.S. army in this hemisphere and he has a well organized terrorist network with active and sleeping cells all around the continent, including the U.S., as well as a spy network that was able to infiltrate the highest level of the Pentagon. Today’s declaration of General McCaffrey shows how ill informed or how duped by Castro’s disinformation agents, were the top military commands under the Clinton administration. Also, under that administration, the highest Pentagon analyst in charge to evaluate Castro’s menace to our country was a Castro’s mole working for his intelligence services.

With one of Castro’s subrogates in power in Venezuela, his support to the guerrillas in Colombia and in Chiapas, Mexico, we can understand how the Latin American governments tremble every time that Castro shows any displeasure if they waiver in their unconditional support of the Cuban tyrannical regime. There is hardly a single one that has dared to stand up to his meddling into their internal affairs or to condemn his reign of terror over the Cuban people.

Castro has his tenticles in many places. He's helped set up a web that's threatening freedom around the world.

A Terrorist Regime Waits in the Wings

We must get all the Clinton holdovers out of the Bush administration.
