More Proof of US Government’s Dirty War against Cuba
The complicity of the head of the US Interests Office in Havana in playing the role of “ postman,”, “cradle” and “ colleague” between the terrorists in Miami and the counterrevolutionary mercenaries in Cuba
The facts are clear: Michael Parmly, head of the United States Interests Office (USIS) in Havana, and Robert ‘Bob' Blau, an official of that diplomatic headquarters —now risen to deputy head of the Cuba Desk in the Department of State—, acted as “mules” for the terrorist Santiago Álvarez Fernández-Magriñá, as couriers of cash payments to his political mercenaries in Cuba.
The proof is irrefutable. The leading role of these messengers in the transfer of the money is shown in phone conversations, e-mails, videos, communications, and even in statements to the press, revealed in the third broadcast the Roundtable news/commentary program dedicated to the scandalous connection.
They have violated the laws of Cuba, the Vienna Convention relating to the norms of international diplomatic relations, the agreement that in May 1977 decided the establishment of the respective Interests Offices, and the of United States’ own legislation, because they are acting under a precept whereby a policy of visceral hate rules. Against Cuba, everything goes. The objective of this conspiracy has been to cause incidents that justify an intervention.
On three occasions Michael Parmly travelled to Miami, expressly to meet with people trusted by the counterrevolutionary leader Martha Beatriz Roque Cabello, and to pick up sums of money for her, to finance illegal activities on the island and to distribute it among members of several small groups. The funds came from the “friend” of the Fundación Rescate Jurídico, imprisoned in United States under three serious federal charges: possessing a huge cache of weapons, false documentation and obstruction of justice.
The representatives of a government has established a budget of $47 million to finance terrorists in Miami and their henchmen inside Cuba, who Washington also guides and controls, have the effrontery to reach the point of being lent out as envoys and messengers.
Something of the modus operandi
Carmen Machado, a close collaborator and intimate of Fernández Magriñá, in an email sent on September 25, 2006, asked Martha Beatriz Roque Cabello, “will you have somebody who can take these things to you soon or should I look for someone here.” The answer was immediate: “Dear Carmen: I generally use people that go to Miami and they come in without any problem... I know that you will realize who they are...”
The matter is of supreme importance. “Things,” “mangos,” “letters,” “postcards,” “telegrams” or “silly little things” identify in code the substantial sums of money and their amount; for that reason it required a prompt explanation to the “dear Carmen” and friends in another e-mail: “in next few days Juan Carlos [Fuentes, the nephew of Roque], will receive a visit from somebody who can bring me things, what ever you want to send can be given to them(...) It can’t be a large packet, but a few silly things, yes...».
The man that arrived in Miami was Bob, to whom Martha had explained that those “silly things” were donations for the Congreso de Bibliotecas (Congress of Libraries). “I don't know the figure exactly, but María told me that she also had something for me, please call her before the visit, so that it is all in one go, because these opportunities are not that frequent.” Dollars or Euros, I don't care, Bob told him that “there is no difficulty.”
Carmen Machado delivered the money to Juanca, the nephew, who met Robert Blau at the end of October 2006. We can deduce that he knew about conspiracies and undercover work, since he asked him not to use e-mail to give “detail” of the shipment, but the deed was already done, and Juanca lied. It wasn’t worth a scolding from Auntie Mc Duck, “this is their way and they will surely know it.” The thing is that the computer with which many of the messages were written is in the headquarters of the Washington’s Interests Office in Havana.
In the exchange of notes, on more than one occasion that of Miami mentioned Bob, and this earned another piece of advice from Roque from the friend, “don't use your name again...”
In the files of Immigration and Foreigners office in Cuba, it states that on November 5, 2006, Robert Blau (Bob) arrived in Havana. He is also captured on camera at the José Martí International Airport.
But since there was no immediate communication with Martha Beatriz, she became nervous, until a few days later a car from USIS arrived at her house, and in a black briefcase she received tranquillity. “These people are very valuable for me,” she wrote to Juanca, as she again became the smiling Auntie McDuck again.
A postman calls several times
He was not just a middle official, the one that served as postman in these operations of Fernández-Magriñá, also played the role head of the Office of Interests, without caring that in his capacity as a diplomat accredited to the Cuban Government he is subject to the Cuban laws and to those of his country. The facts speak for themselves and those related in the Round Table by the journalist Reynaldo Taladrid happened in 2007 and are happening in 2008.
On August 28, 2007, the mercenary wrote to Juanca. Matter: about a postman. There were instructions that he call Washington to Michael Parmly's daughter, to establish contact and know of his arrival in Miami. There are other details of his function as middleman between the «Friend» and Roque.
It was not the only occasion that he would bring in the bag of much desired «letters» and “postcards.” From Carmen directly or through Juanca the correspondence continued arriving.
On May 2, Juan Carlos wrote to her: « 21 letters from Carmen have arrived and the 2 from Rosendo, subtotal 23, total 83. Advise me of the postman. A kiss, your nephew».
In the prolific and protracted correspondence the «postman» it is named once or twice. It is his phone number in the United States and he also participated in that exchange to communicate when and at what time he would pass through Miami in his messenger role, even through his official mail as an official of the Government of the United States: ParmlyM@state.gov.
Until the beginning of December they came that way, which causes special concern, because December 8, 2007, Juanca reported: “Gave your letters without any problem to the 11.00 am cradle who greeted me very effusively with hug and everything.”
Another name appears in code, “cradle,” that will also be named as “the one that rocks the cradle,” Mr. Michael Parmly who even on one of those trips was remiss in sending, in a collective mail to all his important officials of the Office that he directs, his telephone in United States, and he included in that list Martha Beatriz Roque.
The “postman” Parmly called on the doors of Miami and Havana three times: the chief wrote March 20 this year to Juanca: “Today the hand that rocks the cradle arrives at the same hotel and the same place; you can call him early evening...” and he admits that he/ doesn’t know how many “postcards” (each postcard, a thousand dollars) he will be able to bring with him. But that important doubt is cleared up: “you will receive eight postcards three letters and one telegram... are you already clear?” Carmen didn't reduce anything in the fee. Anyway, another email: “Now I’ll count them when I move the cradle, greetings and kisses Auntie Mc Duck.”
Parmly arrived in Cuba March 15. On the 17th in his personal car, an all terrain, he took the aunt's wages personally to her house. It was nothing special that Martha Beatriz got out of the USIS with $8,350 in her purse, it’s a hard life!
To cap it all, Parmly ended up lending money to these conspirators. Because, as in April they were preparing to call Minimum Agenda or Agenda for the Transition meeting, in which they detailed the expenses to finance the fried green bananas and the toilet paper and the money didn't arrive, the diplomat gave them an advance
The decision was made in a meeting while in the car that shuttled them around. The four people present were Michael Parmly and James Benson, for the United States government; and Martha Beatriz Roque and Vladimiro Roca, representing the political mercenaries. A graphic video of this encounter and a telephone call between Martucha and Carmucha, three days later, confirms this: “He is deciding it for me until it is decided... The problem is that for me to solve it, I spoke with the hand that rocks the cradle. Juan Carlos can tell you who is the hand that rocks the cradle... “
It is clear that Mr. Parmly gave the money for an illegal activity, and the person who advanced the cash was an inmate in the United States serving time for the possession of an illegal cache of weapons.
There is more proof that adds to the difficulty in this case and which constitutes the crime of conspiracy in the United States. This is because Parmly knew of the document to influence a judge and that he helped to reduce him the sentence of Santiago Álvarez Fernández-Magriñá, a man subjected to two trials.
The document referred to their requesting Martha Beatriz Roque to send it on November 1, 2006 from USIS, and it was signed by her and by the executive secretary of the organization.
A document that got lost in the USIS itself, upset her greatly. She reported this to Michael Parmly, who said he would find out what had happened. Total complicity.
Carmen said to him, “I wanted you to know and that you can count on me as a friend, something which I’m also proud of” – an admission that links her to the terrorist that within a short time can return to her adventures with her partners in crime Orlando Bosch and Luis Posada Carriles, since the good judge reduced his sentence to ten months in jail and a fine of $2,000 and two years probation.
A conspiracy that is not new
On the Roundtable, moderated by journalist Randy Alonso, there were other examples of the interfering and provocative acts of the Washington’s Interests Section. These were presented in an interview by journalist Arleen Rodríguez Derivet with Josefina Vidal Ferreiro, the director of the North America office of the Cuban Foreign Ministry.
The Cuban diplomat detailed communications of protest and accusations issued by MINREX to the US State Department.
One of them, dated July 18, 2005, when occurred the unusual and scandalous act of three diplomatic valises having been received as air freight at the airport. Their sender was not the State Department but the Center for a Free Cuba, which is directed by CIA operative Frank Short. Between 1998 and 2005 alone, this organization has received more than $8 million from the United States government itself for activities aimed at subverting internal order in Cuba.
A May 1977 agreement between Cuba and the United States established the respective Interest Offices in Washington and Havana, said Josefina Vidal. He exposed the functions of these headquarters as being to serve as communication channels between the authorities of the two governments and to give consular services to nationals of the respective countries. The offices are governed by the Vienna Convention regarding the operation of diplomatic offices, in which it establishes the purposes as being to promote good relations, cultural and technical exchanges, and the facilitation of communications.
The US has violated this agreement by having carried out espionage work against Cuba and participating in subversion, when it is the responsibility of the United States government to fulfill what was agreed upon by the two, said Vidal.
Dr. Manuel Hevia, director of the Center of Historical Investigations of Cuban State Security, described the speech on Wednesday, May 21, by George W. Bush as the latest joke. In it, the American president again attacked Cuba, defending the illegal actions of the US diplomats in Cuba as being with his government's aggressive policy.
