That just goes to show you that the Miami Herald Building harbors not reporters, but a little clicque of arrepentidos(as).

Am I the only one that finds the subject of menendez's column and timing of same a little suspect?

In my opinion (opinion is a defense against libel and slander) she's just shilling for the castro government that's on its last legs. They want that American tourism so bad they can taste it.

Champion of free speech? That's only because he's affiliated with the ACLU, which in the mind of the MSM, makes this dude walk on water, even if there's no evidence.

Predictable.

Of course, Ana Menendez sees fit to profile an ACLU lawyer who defends "free speech" in Miami as if "free speech" were endanger in Miami. I guess that's why Francisco Aruca has a radio program in Miami, and why los Maceitos have public protests in Miami, etc... But alas, its more of the same garbage from Menendez, VILLAINIZE THE VICTIM, OTHERIZE THEM, etc...

What a waste of paper and ink. With all of the writers who are rotting in Cuban jails and all of the writers who are living in exile all over the world becasue they couldn't exercise their "free speech" in Cuba, you would think that this dingbat would spend more time defending their freedom of expression. Que acomplejada y arrepentida. Me da un asco profundo.

Kudos, Henry. Your abuelo would have been so proud to see the way you beat these Commies at their own game. The Cuban exile community has been denouncing Marifeli Perez-Stable as a Castro agent for three decades and it is now that she objects to it? Also interesting to note how this ambulance-chasing showboat lawyer John De Leon addresses professor De La Cova as "mister," instead of his title of doctor, which in contrast he uses to refer to his client. This matter can be solved when the case goes to court and Perez-Stable is forced to give a deposition, present her passports, and detail all her dealings with the Castro dictatorship for more than 30 years; the FBI is ordered to produce the debriefing document; and the defector is subpoenaed to testify of his former espionage dealings with Perez-Stable. De Leon is bluffing his way into a mine field.

Caballeros:

What can you expect from a woman who has seen more ceilings than Michelangelo?

I was going to post on today's Ana column, but why bother. Same ol' disco rallado.

Wonder if Johnny boy agrees with Ana that Cuban spies are just "misguided moderates" (my quote, not theirs)?

Yeah, misguided moderates with shortwave radios and codebooks and access to police cadets' psychological profiles.

The anASS mendez column... another reason why the herlad makes such a GREAT POOPER SCOOPER!

Ever hear the story of Oscar Wilde? Wilde was a sodomite who took objection to being called one and sued his boyfriend's father for libel. Wilde never thought those 12-year old telegraph boys whom he had "befriended" would show up to haunt him at the trial. But guess what? They all did. After having lost the libel trial, Wilde was arrested for what we would call sexual abuse of minors today. He was convicted, sent to jail and broken as a man.

Nothing would ever have happened to him if he had not sued for "libel."

This is a lesson that some would be wise to take to heart.

People who frivolously sue for libel forget there's a process called .... DISCOVERY. And everything (absolutely EVERYthing) does come out in the wash.

The important thing to note is though that even if you are sued and you win, unlike the British system, in the American system, the loser does not pay fees (they pay only costs). So one being sued has the hobson's choice of paying money to defend themselves or paying money reluctantly to avoid paying more money for the cost of defense.

There are of course some procedural things one can do that may get you fees, but they still involve you making a proposal for settlement.

It is what it is. Maybe I could get the ACLU to defend me against their VP.

The POT calling the KETTLE black?

I guess Ms. Menendez would much rather see Cuban-Americans roll over and play dead.

As to Ms. Menendez’s implied ACCUSATIONS against the Cuban-American community with regards to Emilio Milian “a radio commentator who condemned violence in the service of politics, had his legs blown off by a car bomb. The terrorism continued through the '70s and into the '80s -- remember the bombs at Replica Magazine?” I urge Ms. Menendez to please contact local FBI headquarters immediately. I’m certain that ALL these crimes will FINALLY be solved with all the EVIDENCE which she must OBVIOUSLY have in her possession. These terrorists were never brought to justice… After My guess is … THEY ARE IN CUBA!

According to Ricardo Morales Navarrette’s Grand Jury’s testimony (on the Milian bombing) on November 30, 1978, “GASPAR JIMENEZ had received a check for $39,000 to be signed while in federal custody. The check bore these items of information: from corporate account of RIVIERA U.S.A. CORPORATION, drawn on Continental Bank, payee GASPAR JIMENEZ. This information was recorded by the guard who took the check from Mrs. JIMENEZ to GASPAR JIMENEZ and returned it after being signed by GASPAR. According to Sanford, this information was given to the FBI for tracing and the FBI believes this corporation to be tied up to HERNANDEZ CARTAYA'S WFC CORPORATION.

The FBI also firmly believes HERNANDEZ CARTAYA to be a Cuban spy operating in the U.S.A. or at least that CARTAYA has very good ties with Cuban intelligence network.”

“On one occasion in which MILIAN had set up to purchase the old WFAB radio station a black group applied for the same radio station. The persons given by the applicants as references are all members of AREYITO [Arieto], a Socialist newspaper, and associates of a very heavy narcotics dealers.” Need I say more?

The spies among us.

And who was one of the directors of Areito Magazine? I'll give you one good guess.

The infamous Andres Gomez for one.

Here is the link to Marifeli Perez-Stable as leader and recruiter for the pro-Castro magazine Areito:
http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/dialogue/Areito-Marifeli.pdf
Here is a 1984 Bohemia article with Marifeli Perez-Stable leading the Areito group in Cuba and being their spokeswoman at a press conference:
http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/dialogue/Areito-6-8-1984.pdf
Perez-Stable was also a founder and leader of the pro-Castro Antonio Maceo Brigade.
Check out this Bohemia article.
http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/dialogue/BAM-8-4-1978.pdf
On the last two pages there is a photo of Marifeli Perez-Stable (far left with sun emblem t-shirt) and other BAM idiots with Cuban master spy and indicted drug traffiker Rene Rodriguez Cruz (far right). Birds of a feather flock together.
In March 1982, the BAM was denounced before a U.S. Senate Subcommittee investigating the role of Cuba in international terrorism and subversion. Florida Department of Law Enforcement agent Sergio Piñon testified under oath that the BAM "is specifically sponsored and headed by the Cuban DGI."

It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out the link between Perez-Stable and Cuban espionage.

La Marifea esta insingable, por eso le gusta la tortilla.

Yiiiikes!! Many years ago, I visited a doctor at UM, a GP, named Dr. Perez-Stable. When I saw him, I was surprised that a Cuban man had such an unusual surname. Dr. Perez-Stable also worked at the VA hospital across the Jackson complex in the late 1980's. He was very quick with his mouth, but he always looked tired.

Now I wonder if Marifeli is his youngest sister or perhaps his daughter. Unfortunately, I don't remember his first name. He must be turning in his grave.

Eliseo?

Henry,
Correct again. Little brother Eliseo, who is now practicing in San Francisco, was also a founding member of Areito and the Antonio Maceo Brigade (BAM).
DGI defector Jesus Perez Mendez in 1983 also named Eliseo as one of the BAM members controlled by the DGI along with Marifeli and others.

Gigi, this is a photo of little brother. http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/dialogue/perez-stable.jpg
The person you saw was apparently their father, Eliseo Perez-Stable Carreño, a bon vivant who married into wealth. His alcoholic wife, Nenita Diaz Moya, was the daughter of the millionaire owner of the store "Fin de Siglo" in Havana. Eliseo senior initially opposed the pro-Castro politics of his kids but like Palpatine, he went over to the dark side.
Concepcion, from your comment, it is obvious that you know Marifeli very well.

"The important thing to note is though that even if you are sued and you win, unlike the British system, in the American system, the loser does not pay fees (they pay only costs)."

Cigar Mike, this was the general rule and as far as I know is still treated as common law in every state (other than civil-law Louisiana), but from my experience, the Florida Legislature has been busliy creating exceptions to swallow that rule, to the extent that you can't know if it's true of a particular tort without reference to the statutes.

Besides, to be the pednatic lawyer I am, the other way around is the ENGLISH, not "British" rule: Scotland has its own courts and is a separate civil-law jurisdiction.
