Once cherished in Miami, Elian Gonzalez is set to become a legislator in Cuba

[Judi Lynn]

44. You have to remember emotionally it had to be like a pressure cooker in that house!

The crowds of "exiles" surrounded the house from morning until very late at night, his great-cousin, Marysleysis chewed the curtains continually, hysterically, totally immersed in her tv camera character she pulled out from her lower region for her daily tv appearances, they were surrounded by cameras, reporters, the hierarchy of the Miami "exile" political structure, the mayor, Cuban Congressmen and women, being dragged out of the house and driven up to Disney World for publicity photos, being given a Labrador puppy by the mayor, for Elian, and all those publicity photos, being given a free entry into the local "exile" owned Lincoln Marti private school, the insane evening they kept him awake all night, sitting on the middle of a bed, rehearsing a speech to say to the camera pretending he was sending a message to his dad, Juan Miguel, saying "I do not want to go back to Cuba" while he was barely conscious, so tired and disoriented, etc., etc., etc.

As some papers indicated later, there were armed militants holed up in the houses around the Gonzalez house, ready to shoot the noses off the "Feds" if they dared to show their faces to legally retrieve the little guy. They did, fortunately, not see fit to be awake when the "Feds" did show up after midnight. That's a good thing. Of course, some of them howled and screeched that the agents had brutalized them, and one of those loons wore a neck brace well after, claiming he was really, really scuffed up bad!



The guy who was hiding the kid in a closet in the early hours pretending he has been mortally wounded.

Remember, the court had already ordered the great uncle to let him go to his father.

Marysleysis had informed Janet Reno on the phone, who was speaking with her, that some people around there had guns. That was her sideways threat of violence.

Orlando Bosch, this guy, the other Cubana air liner bomber,



had already been in and out of that house personally, and was close at hand, possibly staying in one of the neighboring houses.
