Cuban Intelligence Expert to Reveal Names of Castro Regime Spies in Florida
If you saw the videos I posted a few weeks ago with Lt. Col. Chris Simmons, who is a U.S. Army counterintelligence agent and expert on Cuban intelligence, you may have learned that Oscar Haza of "A Mano Limpia" challenged him to reveal the names of the Cuban spies that are in South Florida. He has accepted the challenge and will reveal the specific names of the spies on "A Mano Limpia" on Thursday, July 31st at 8:00 p.m. He will also be on “Ninoska a las 3” with Ninoska Pérez-Castellón at 3:00 p.m. on WQBA 1140 AM on Friday, August 1st.
Lt. Col. Simmons was a key figure in the identification, investigation, and debriefing of convicted Cuban spy, Ana Belen Montes. She was the highest-ranking Cuban spy ever sent to prison in the United States. He also was the lead military official in the expulsion of 14 Cuban spies serving under diplomatic cover in May, 2003.
He recently completed the draft of his first book, "Shadowplay: Cuban Intelligence Operations in Latin America & the Caribbean."
You can also catch an interview with this great American right here on the Babalu Radio Hour next week (August 6th), when Lt. Col. Simmons is George Moneo's guest. Save the date, this is sure to be a great interview.

Claudia,
I believe Ninoska Perez-Castellón has her radio program on 710 AM Radio Mambí at 3:00pm Monday through Friday. She used to be at WQBA 1140 several years ago.
Chris Simmon's guest appearance in "A Mano Limpia" a few weeks back was very informative. You can be sure I'll be tuned in on Thursday. Thanks for the info.

Do you know the expected release date of that book? That sounds like a book that would keep me away from the TV!

j2tharome- I don't know but will find out. I do know that he is already working on Part 2.

This list of names was revealed on Nov. 27, 2006.

Of all the names on the list, only Marifeli Perez-Stable got an attorney to threaten a lawsuit, but then backed down. Let's see how many Simmons can match with this list.

To set the record straight: the DGI stopped my paycheck after my intimate friend Jesus Diaz fell in disfavor and fled to Spain. I was no longer trusted in Cuba after that.

Claudia,
Hold on a moment - why would a U.S. counter-intel type reveal this type of information on television before authorities have a chance to arrest the men? This sounds odd to me.

The information I posted came directly from Lt. Col. Simmons' press release. I doubt he will do anything to jeopardize an ongoing investigation given his position with the government, and the fact that he has dedicated his career to chasing down spies, and issue a press release on top of it. So any info released by him will have already been de-classified info.
I know others were concerned about de-classifying info, but seriously, wait until the man speaks!

I am also retired from spying for Cuba and laundering drug money.

I knew it was just a matter of time before Marifea and Bernardo showed up. It wouldn't be a party without them.
Hi guys!

True to form, Perez-Estable, comes out with a column blaming the Us Government for Fidel's popularity, by attacking Dulles, for 'shunning
the Cuban Revolution" and deposing Mossadegh and Arbenz; its like a broken record here,
