RHC Viewpoint, 31 March: Frankstein Running Amok in Miami Via NY Transfer News * All the News that Doesn't Fit RHC VIEWPOINT http://www.radiohc.org 31 March 2000 WARNING: FRANKENSTEIN IS RUNNING AMOK IN MIAMI Anti-Cuba extremist groups in Miami -- organized as a result of the U.S. government's hostility against socialist Cuba and used to attempt to destabilize the island -- have placed Washington in a difficult position. For forty years, these groups have carried out crimes against the Cuban people and have always been protected and even given recognition by U.S. authorities. As a result, these reactionary groups have turned into a dangerous monster, a sort of political Frankenstein which acts with impunity, ignoring the authorities and laws of the country in which it lives. That is why Cuban President Fidel Castro recently warned that six-year-old Elian Gonzalez, who is still being illegally held in Miami, could become the victim of a sinister action such as being taken to a third country or even suffering physical harm at the hands of his captors, who appear to be willing to do anything and everything to keep him from returning to Cuba. There is reason to believe that those who have perpetrated so many crimes against the Cuban people will stop at nothing to insure that the boy stays in the United States, something that would further damage the U.S. government's international prestige. Urgent measures must be taken in order to guarantee the safety of Elian Gonzalez, who is currently surrounded by unscrupulous, distant relatives controlled by the anti-Cuba Mafia in Miami. Although with marked hesitation and weakness, U.S. authorities have adopted the correct position. That is why they must not allow such criminal behaviour on the part of the right wing Cuban-American community, which has manipulated the boy and caused him serious and possibly irreversable psychological harm.
