Celia Cruz Removed From U.S. Blacklist

[dArKeR]

Salsa queen Celia Cruz was removed from a U.S. list of suspected communists in 1965 after she performed and raised money for groups trying to overthrow Cuban President Fidel Castro (news - web sites), according to newly released immigration documents.

U.S. officials suspected in the 1950s that Cruz, who died last year of a brain tumor, supported Castro's communist government. She was refused a visa at least twice starting in 1952 because U.S. law at the time forbade entry to foreigners affiliated with communists.

This is crazy! What do you call Neil Bush and the rest of the Bush Crime Family's relationship to the Communist in China? If the Kerry campaign doesn't jump on this story today they're a bunch of cowards!

The Relatively Charmed Life Of Neil Bush

During his travels, he met with several Arab princes and enjoyed a private dinner with Jiang Zemin, then China's president, who serenaded Bush with a military song.


In the late '80s and early '90s, Bush embarrassed his father, George H.W. Bush, with his shady dealings as a board member of the infamous Silverado Savings and Loan, whose collapse cost taxpayers $1 billion.

Now Bush has embarrassed his brother George W. Bush with a made-for-the-tabloids divorce that featured paternity rumors, a defamation suit and, believe it or not, allegations of voodoo.

I also think Kerry could use this to show aWol is a psychotic leader. Kerry says, "We need to be engaging with Cuba, dialogue, business ties for American companies... enough murders and killings in the world. Kerry will open a dialogue and once and for all solve all differences between the US and Cuba. America should NOT be creating terrorist states and that is what Bush is doing. He's creating terrorist states."

1. She aided and abetted terrorists

But, that's OK with the US gov, she supported our beloved (by both R's and D's) Cuban "exile" terrorists.


Miami's ardently anti Castro Cuban "exiles" are about as trustworthy as Chalabi's "exiles".




Files show how Celia overcame 1960s blacklist
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/local/9736933.htm

The U.S. government took famed salsa singer Celia Cruz off its blacklist of suspected communists in 1965 because, while in exile, she performed and raised money for anti-Fidel Castro causes, according to newly released records obtained by The Herald.

--

''The record indicates that in July 1960 she fled as a defector from the Communist regime of Cuba,'' according to an Oct. 28, 1965, immigration service memorandum recently obtained by The Herald. ``Since that time she has actively cooperated with anti-Communist, anti-Castro organizations through artistic performances and by campaigning for funds for those organizations.''

But he dug through her personal papers recently and found three certificates from an anti-Castro guerrilla group.

Each one represented a receipt for $92, and declared that she donated the money to the Junta Revolucionaria Cubana to buy three rifles in January 1964, a year before she was finally cleared.

The group was formed after the ill-fated Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba, and the receipt declared the donation of a rifle ``for the war against communist tyranny.''

3. Maybe Cat Stevens should buy rifles for the "right" terrorists (ours)

Then he could get into the US, and become a celebrated "freedom fighter", IF he would support the "right terrorists.

That would be LBN material then?
