Real faces of the Cuban dissidents in and out of Cuba 
 
Who is Frank Calzon this individual who the so called dissident Rene Gomez Manzano is so cozy with?

He is a Cuban-American who while at the University of Georgetown was recluted by the CIA.  He was one of the directors of a New York terrorist organization known as ABDALA; and later became a Director of the Cuban American National foundation.  Having had to resign because of in fighting he became one of the heads of the program "Transition for a Free Cuba" sponsored by Freedom House all having ties to the US and Cuban-American right wing, all funded by the US government. On October 6 1995 then the US govt gave half million dollars to those groups in Cuba who opposed the Cuban govt. This was approximately 5 months before the Helm-Burton law was signed.
On August of 1997 an emissary of Calzone, David Dorn, was caught distributing computers, short-wave radios, and sophisticated electronic equipment and large sums of money to various seditious groups and people, among them, Vladimiro Roca
As a consequence of this scandal, at the end of 1997 Calzon left Freedom House to create the Center for a Free Cuba.  He immediately received 400 thousand dollars from Washington ( all of this at our expense folks, our tax money).  The members of this organization are treated like Sultans of the dissidents.  And even if none of them have a regular job nevertheless, they are lavished with perks, living the lives of kings, one of them owning 4 houses.  All of this at our expense, with our tax money, folks.

 On June 27, 1997 during a press conference with foreign journalists, held in the home of Beatriz Roque, to issue a new document of intent, the president of Independent and Democratic Cuba, one of the most aggressive and terrorist groups of exiles, an organization which has a bloody history of terrorist attacks against Cuba, issued the following communiqué:
"The document is very objective and precise.  We in the name of Independent and Democratic Cuba support it wholeheartedly".
Communicating with Nartha Beatriz in a program coordinated by Radio Marti and other reporters from Miami and Washington, he enthusiastically stated: "You can expect our full solidarity".  Next to Hubert Matos was Jose Basulto, the head of Brothers to the Rescue, an ex CIA agent who in 1987, using a speedboat fired a machine gun at a hotel in Cuba, and who now finances the personal expenses of Vladimiro Roca - giving him 1000's of dollars in the process.  When Vladimiro Roca was arrested in his home, he had gear with the insignia of the group headed by Ramon Saul Sanchez, Democracy Movement.  The same organization that repeatedly have organized flotillas to Cuba, on many occasions violating Cuban waters.  Saul Sanchez is the same person who at the age of 24 was a member, and second in command, of one of the organizations under CORU - an org. created in the 70's by one of the bloodiest exile terrorists ever Orlando Bosch.
This CORU is the same org. that working with the CIA has perpetrated acts of terrorism against Cuba.  Among them:
April 6, 1976: Two fishing boats, Ferro-119 and 123 are attacked by Miami terrorists, causing the deaths of Bienvenido Mauriz.
April 22: A bomb explodes in the Cuban embassy in Portugal, injuring many and causing the deaths of Cuban Diplomats Adriana Corcho Callejas and Efren Monteagudo Rodriguez.
June 5:  The Cuban UN Mission in NY is bombed causing great damage
July 9:  A bomb explodes in the baggage compartment of a Cuban airliner, Cubana de Aviacion, in Kingston, Jamaica.  If this bomb would have exploded in flight it would have killed a score of innocent people
July 10:  A bomb explodes in the offices of British West Indies, agency representing Cubana de Aviacion (Cuban Airline)  
July 24:  A technician of the National Institute of Fishery, Artagan Diaz Diaz, is killed, in an attempt to kidnap the Cuban ambassador in Merida, Mexico  August 9:  Two diplomats, Crescencio Galanena Hernandez and Jesus Cejas Arias are kidnapped and never heard from again
August 18:  A bomb explodes in the offices of Cubana de Aviacion in Panama, causing considerable damages  
October 6: In the deadliest and bloodiest acts of terrorism bombs explode in a Cuban airliner of Cubana de Aviacion, killing 73 innocent people

Those are the supporters of Vladimiro Roca and the band of four dissidents.
These are the dissidents, which the congress calls prisoners of conscience, and for which the US congress has appropriated millions of our tax money for.
