MAFIA FOREVER




EVEN before the conclusion of the George W. Bush mandate, the most recalcitrant of Miami’s Cuban-American mafia, fleeced by their blind alliance with John McCain, have selected their Republican candidate for the 2012 presidential elections; no less than Jeb Bush.

The association of the heirs of the Batista dictatorship with McCain was never a matter of chance; the U.S. media corporations were very careful to erase from the history of the Republican politician his particular links with the Cuba of Batista.

On marrying Cindy Hensley on his arrival in Arizona, where he began his political career in 1982, McCain attached himself to the sole heiress to the fortune of Jim Hensley, a multimillionaire beer magnate.

Hensley was also the right-hand man of Kemper Marley, then one of the most active capos of the mafia boss Meyer Lansky, who would later take charge of transforming Havana into a sanctuary for the continental mafia.

When the crime apparatus of Havana was transferred en masse to Miami after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution and the collapse of the gambling, drug and prostitution industry in the Cuban capital, those who had tried to prevent the end of the dictatorship went into spontaneous association in U.S. territory.

A number of politicians like Rafael Díaz-Balart and Rolando Masferrer, unfailing executors of the most unmentionable tasks of the expelled dictator, turned up there, surrounded by a plentiful police-military workforce, from the Pilar Garcías to the Tabernillas and the Merob Sosas.

In the midst of intense activity on the part of the U.S. intelligence agencies to crush the revolutionary power as soon as possible, emerged George H. Bush Sr., who participated from an early stage in the selection, recruitment and recovery of the toughest elements of Batista’s repressive machinery.

He would intervene directly in mounting the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, and was associated with the gang of unscrupulous CIA officials who wound up conspiring against John F. Kennedy.

Thus was born the killer network of the hundreds of Félix Rodríguez’, Posada Carriles’, Orlando Bosch’s and other trigger-happy elements in the CIA JM/WAVE station that, for years unleashed a terrorist war on Cuba, based on sabotage, infiltrations, attacks and killings.

When he rose to become director of the CIA some years later and then vice president and president of the country, George Bush Sr. maintained the same link – from Venezuela to Nicaragua – always in tight association with that commercial background maintained by the Miami CIA apparatus, generated with his help.

The most fanatical residue of this extensive enterprise, the directors of the Cuban Liberty Council (CLC), all of them closely linked to the clique that fled Cuba 50 years ago, has constituted a seemingly immutable Mafiosi power around the Bush clan. So much so that the rigged trial that led to five Cubans being incarcerated in the United States for infiltrating that criminal network while an alleged U.S. war on terrorism was being waged, met with no opposition whatsoever in the so-called land of the free.

So much so that, thanks to a bland, complacent and terrified press, homegrown terrorists have been converted into angels in an environment of pure McCarthyism, in which radio and television are attributed the role of the Inquisition. Where the USAID – the U.S. Agency of "Destabilization" – granted a record budget of $45 million to its protégés, over and above the $25 million of Radio-TV Martí, neither of which are heard or seen, but are growing fat.

Until Bush Jr. finished it off and generalized discontent with his regime brought the house of cards tumbling down.

But the political corpse of Bush Jr. No. 1 had not even gone cold when the older Bush proposed Bush Jr. No. 2.

Taking advantage of the end of the year and "filling" interviews on TV channels, former president Bush Sr. stated on January 4 that he would like to see his second son, Jeb, assume the presidency one day.

In an interview with Fox News, Bush innocently stated that Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida, aged 55, has all the aptitudes to occupy the White House.

His affirmation came while Jeb has been repeating that he is considering competing for the U.S. Senate seat of his buddy Mel Martínez who – in another coincidence – has just announced his resignation.

Mel Martínez is connected to the Cuban Liberty Council to the point of being present in every general meeting of that organization.

"I’d like to see him as a candidate. I’d like him to be president some day, or a senator, or whatever, yes, I’d like that," said Bush Sr., who was president from 1989-1993.

No father has been succeeded by two sons in the White House, notes Reuters, as if a genetic presidency had a Hollywood touch.

That’s of little importance. Nobody knows, outside of the Florida mafiosi, the dubious past of Jeb Bush, who in 1984 was an associate of Miguel Recarey, a Cuban American linked to Santos Trafficante Jr., then godfather of the Italian mafia in Florida. And he was linked to his business, the International Medical Center (IMC), which defrauded $30 million per month from Medicare. (Recarey is still on the FBI wanted list for fraud and bribery of officials.)

To the lengthy list of criminals with whom the CLC favorite for the White House has been linked, one more has to be added: Ken Lay, the Enron boss who stole $334 million from Florida’s pension scheme.

Jeb Bush is still the governor of Florida most distinguished for having spent millions trying to manipulate the electoral process by eliminating Democrat electors, thanks to his Accenture buddies, who included a personal assistant.

Bush Sr. confessed with Machiavellian humor to his Fox interviewer: "Now would probably be a bad time… we’ve had enough Bush’s."

But there is a hope. In the Miami in which the CIA and its Batista buddies have constructed over 50 years, there is an entrenched mechanism that refuses to go away.
