November 5, 2007  Today in Washington, D.C. Dr. Elias Biscet of Havana will be awarded the Medal of Freedom by President Bush with other honorees. Dr. Biscet languishes in a Cuban hell hole, often called a prison. Dr. Biscet must be released immediately. U.S. Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen has correctly supported the bestowing of this high honor to Biscet and we commend the entire undertaking. It reminds us that there are profound moments when the good that men do is not buried with their bones in a prison gulag and that we can and do support strengthening the ties that unite the lovers of freedom.
 
Mary Anastasia O'Grady writes in the WALL STREET JOURNAL today about Biscet. The video is informative also. 

O'Grady writes, "Tales of totalitarian gulags may strike some readers as ancient history, something that happened during Europe's 20th-century experiments in fascism, communism and Nazism. Yet in Cuba, the gulag and its suffering have not ended. Dr. Biscet's medal serves to remind us of this fact. By raising the profile of his struggle for a free Cuba, the award also highlights what Castro's regime fears most. It is not the guns and tanks of some imperial invader, but rather the faith, courage and nonconformity of the country's own people."
 
A few weeks ago, the Correa regime rolled out the red welcome carpet to the Castro Solidarity movement, whatever that is....to stand united in support of Castro's regime of crime, torture and human depravity that is unthinkable. Scores of some of the globe's goofiest pro FARC actors and anti USA bashers from the wide swath of the George Soros backed milieu toughed it out to show who was the most ardent Castro lover. Theirs was a fools' agenda and harbored grand disillusionments by intent. Correa insists that he will reproduce Castro's model in Ecuador. Let's be honest here... can you imagine Ecuadoreans standing united with freedom lovers and fighters for lives of liberty? Not any more. Basically, Correa just bestowed Ecuador's highest honor....its people, its government and its entire destiny to Castro and Chavez. Hardly a Profile in Courage and is more like a massive sell out. There was a time in the not too distant past when Ecuadoreans instinctively stood proudly on many meritorious endeavors. Not any more. Can you imagine Rafael Correa bestowing a Medal of Freedom to anything and it having full meaning? Who would he honor anyway? Castro? Chavez? Patiño? Che? Of course many Ecuadoreans would be repulsed that Biscet by Bush is honored because he is dark skinned and will turn away. This is foolish and remains a stubbornly incorrect position which creates harm. You can see many photo slides of Dr. Biscet here. 
 
Cuba, which was funded mostly by Russia until Castro's complots were too expensive for the crumbling Russian empire and Castro turned to stiffing any nation he could with massive deadbeat loans before Chavez bailed Castro out and joined Cuba and Venezuela for eternity, never cut the physical and mental ties to the worst part of Russia's criminal mafia-style underbelly. In fact, Putin lays claim to what Cuba owes Russia. Read a strong analysis here from the LONDON TELEGRAPH on Russia today. 

In fact, we hear constantly that Venezuela and Havana share a twisted terror-spy nexus which was originally led by the KGB -backed STASI spy and terror funding of almost 1/2 million global agents of crime. The tactics of the STASI masters of murder, crime and mayhem are increasingly known to us now. We do not forget the horror of the brutal murder of anti crime reformer Aldo Moro in the late 1970s in Italy. Moro was said to have been killed by the European REDS- aka communists. This is more true today than previously known for the groups of Euro communists were funded and fronted by the KGB-backed STASI, enabling murderers such as Chavez's close pal Carlos the Jackal and they committed scores of murders across the globe, such as the 1970s and 1980s murders of Aldo Moro and the heads of many European banks, etc. For their part, neither Chavez nor Castro ever ceased to partake of the enormously cruel STASI terror training, complete with spy disguises and weaponry. Read the MIAMI HERALD on this here. 

Cuba and Venezuela have teamed up to implant STASI style spies and terror cells across the Americas. Besides cigars, rum and human beings, Cuba's biggest export for over thirty years has been a lucrative trade in spying for profit which had a particular goal of destroying innocent lives and enhancing state controls to debase and bar God given rights to freedoms. Like creating a Frankenstein monster that takes full control, the Cuban-Venezuelan gang is now run by its own creations- the spy state that controls all, or tries to. The HERALD reports this on new research coming forward on the STASI-Cuba nexus, "'`I want to provoke a change,'' he says. ``When a security system has its own prisons, judges, lawyers and interrogators and no one controls them, as in Cuba, then the state security is what's sustaining the Communist Party, and repression is what's sustaining the Cuban regime.' “Ecuador’s president Correa calls Hugo Chavez his partner and calls Fidel Castro his mentor. We call Correa and his cabinet despicably incompetent and agents of harm. We also call attention to the fact that Chavez harbors and pays for an entire nexus of the STASI trained communists out of his MIRANDA Center in Caracas. While STASI affiliated REDS terror perp Tony Negri wants to disinform for further jail reductions viz his role in killing the innocent Aldo Moro, Negri unites in the global ring of sociopaths, sometimes called the STASI organized communist party REDS enthusiasts, now joined with Marta Heinegger [former acolyte to the KGB inflated murderous Salvador Allende of Chile] and numerous global Reds, all coordinating out of Caracas now. One assumes incorrectly that these relics of the Moscow-Havana-STASI criminal network would have long ago retired on state pensions somewhere. Instead they are beavering away to vainly bestow the crown of crime on Chavez and Correa and sometimes the Kirchner team.
 
Today thousands of KGB-backed STASI style agents from Caracas and Havana fan out across the Latin American landscape not just for buying in to Latin business infrastructure but to install the corrosive Chavez-Correa business rackets. Remonopolizing by these state thugs is nothing more than mafia style racketeering, of which Chavez and Correa are both deeply guilty of doing. Off the books, unaccountable racketeering in their game and Bolivarianism is their name. We call it criminal rackets under the false front of state backed sovereignty.
 
When you are urged to do business with Chavez and Correa know that you step inside criminal racketeering, complete with goon squads, state monitoring, price fixing, employee monitoring, full aversion to contract law, no access to legal rights of redress, and controls by their mafia style tactics that one is never free again. There is only one thing to do: refuse to engage in criminal rackets with Ecuador and Venezuela. We know that this is impossibly naive to suggest today since most every Ecuadorean today is trained by birth to agree to anything- any racket- any deal that makes them money. But at some point, this aversion to legitimacy and lush lull to the global underbelly of crime is known for what it is. The globe correctly shutters the sweeping epidemic and all that engage in this.
 
Soon enough, the children of the KGB backed STASI will host their reunification ceremony in Chile, called the POPULAR SUMMIT to coincide with the Ibero American Summit. Read about this communist confab here. This is no mere dance of the macabre at state cemeteries but a living reunification party for Latin America's worst aspirations: the end of what few freedoms are available and the installation of a more perfect communist mafia of rackets and gangs, sometimes called Chavez's business dealings. Many true believers of the pure art of Stalin's communist propaganda see that Chavez is not the best prophet of their statist control dreams. They correctly observe that Chavez and Correa self enrich at the expense of their citizens, while claiming to alleviate poverty- however random and spotty and unsustainable. No one alive should be fooled by the gross riches enjoyed by Chavez's conspicuously consuming mother and family, ensconced in some of the largest hacienda estancias, all very badly decorated and very obviously tasteless. This is replicated in Ecuador, Bolivia and Venezuela by their politburo of aligned state racketeering mavens. Ecuadoreans, for their part, believe that this dovetails neatly with their from birth training that to "BE RICH" is all that matters in life. Unless and until greed and avarice- and those who sell out principled behaviors- are returned to Pandora's Box where they belong, Ecuador's addiction to manipulation reveals itself in soaring crime, murder and a global revulsion of the Ecuadorean gamesmanship to say one thing and do another while stealing as much as one can. Families, schools and churches should really stop enabling and instructing Ecuadoreans, as if mothers of the mafia, in to this life of debauchery. It has cost Ecuador its global reputation and has caused all banks to refuse to lend Ecuadoreans any funds at all unless the risk premiums are exorbitantly so high that none can afford them. Ecuador's addiction to lives of manipulation has cost them now a lot of money and has placed Ecuador squarely where it belongs: in the zone of criminal empires with whom no honest businessperson or government respects nor will do business with. These are also called failed states.
 
Thus the dream of "BEING RICH" as the be all/end all goal for all Ecuadoreans contains the germ of its self defeat. Ecuadoreans can now only do business with the globe's criminal underbelly, with which its own government is squarely encouraging.
 
What you have now is the installation of the Chavez-Castro-Correa capitol of crime which is encouraged by local denizens of greed and avarice.

Backing this up is the military blockade of the Chavez satellite system of crime. 
 
Today the JEWISH TIMES (read it here) reports that Jewish leaders finally got around to reporting on the ground the facts about the Jewish treatment by Hugo Chavez. The formal report goes on to tell us that Jews in Venezuela are very very frightened. They are scared.

They are, the Report tells us, "afraid." None but the brain dead and useless enablers of Chavez's classic reign of repression would ponder what it is that Jews are afraid of under Chavez. The titular head of the OAS, Insulza verifiably disagrees with the Jewish analysis that fear mongering is underway by Chavez. Insulza, who knows nothing about Venezuela's debilitated state and cares even less, should be replaced in any event. Insulza, as with all of Chavez's shameful gaggle of deceivers, needs to grasp the analysis first hand from Caracas from their Jews: "`They're asking for help...They know they are living on borrowed time there but are afraid of showing signs of panic.' " Further, the Report states " 'The fear is that Chavez will exploit the opportunity if a conflict erupts between Israel and Iran or between Iran and the West, and he will either nationalize the Jewish property in his country or take other measures...The Jews there are confused and frightened and very much want Israeli help to organize. Some have already evacuated their family members to other places, such as Miami or Panama. Every family has an emergency evacuation plan.' ” If Venezuela is such a paradise, as the Chavez paid propagandists and lobbyists, and the increasingly incompetent Insulza tell us, why would tens of thousands of Venezuelans be so afraid and have evacuation plans?
 
Of course any sensible person in Venezuela is afraid of Chavez. Who wouldn't be? Lives, fortunes and honor are on the line. Some make fortunes selling out to Chavez. Some have no honor and are easily compromised. Others care nothing about the lives of their neighbors and so called friends and quickly sell them out, not standing for principle. Only the depravedly indifferent or the corrupted money making partners with Chavez are not afraid although they should be afraid to look in the mirror and review their corrupted being. Regardless, the Jews have mostly fled Venezuela already and do now face a full exodus of necessity. No one in a functional democracy should feel the need to flee his country and indeed this is the moment of truth which reveals that Chavez's gulag is not a functional democracy. As Ecuador's exodus gets underway, it is cause to recall why so many rejoiced at Correa's victory over common sense and law and order. Such criminal states reveal their incapacity to function as millions flee. Soon the door will be shut and the blockade will be underway, as is occurring this day.
 
We understand the fears of the peoples of the Andes. Fear is a terrible thing.

Fear can be a useful tool to sweep away unhelpful behaviors and assist in realignment with betterment.

Sadly, far too many self enrich by selling out their honor and the lives of the communities. A better plan is to stand united for a better way.

We are not afraid. Not any more. We know what the plan is and it can help.
 
Who stands with Dr. Biscet this day? Who stands for the Jews in the Andes this day? Who will teach our families that racism and anti Semitism is a crude evil? Who stands to defend freedom and honor in the Andes this day?
 
Today we honor Dr. Biscet. He deserves our prayers, our support and our mutual honor. More than that, he deserves to be a free man.

Pray for Dr. Biscet today. Stay informed, stay alert and remain flexible.
