PUERTO PADRE, Cuba.- “Your honor, I agree,” I read that Víctor Manuel Rocha, former ambassador of the United States, said to Judge Beth Bloom.
Among other charges and pleading not guilty, Rocha is accused by a tender euphemism, covering up the crime of espionage: “Violate the Foreign Agents Registration Law”; but, asked last Thursday if he wished to change his statement, he said, “I agree.”
In this regard, it is worth asking: Is a do ut deswhere Víctor Manuel Rocha admits that yes, he was an admirer and spy of Fidel Castro himself, personally acting as an operational officer…?
Is it enough for the former ambassador to confess how since back in 1981, for more than 40 years, being an employee of the United States government on an ascending scale, he swore allegiance to Castro-communism, a totalitarian regime, satellite of Moscow…?
Is it enough for the lawyer Rocha to say how to be a better spy he strived to occupy the position of ambassador, a position that after his retirement led him to obtain important contracts, including as a contractor in the armed forces of his country, as an advisor to the head of the Southern Command…?
Is it enough for Manuel Rocha to confess to his interrogators, prosecutors and Judge Bloom that, at the same time that he swore loyalty to the United States, he served as a penetration agent for the then infamous Directorate General of Intelligence (DGI) of Cuba, which was an advisor to the no less famous Markus Wolf, head of Intelligence of the Stasi, or, as he said in his autobiography, “the greatest spy chief in the world”, inspiration for John Le Carré…? Could Manuel Rocha have felt admiration for Mischa Wolf…?
The confessed Rocha
If so, no, admiration, confession or repentance are not enough for the extraordinary mitigation of the sanction. In the article Víctor Manuel Rocha Case: technical-operational details (I)published on this site on December 14, about the now “confessed” Rocha we express: “… today for the United States government it does not mean the value of a spy with a suspended link, but rather the evaluation of damages caused by that agent during all his active years and the link diagram, which, perhaps, reveals violated strategic objectives and active agents even more important than the deciphered collaborator.
Put more clearly: the United States authorities, day by day, month by month and year by year, through a simple criminal investigation diagram, where places, jobs, hobbies, tastes or leisure, personal, professional and Even fortuitously, they will follow in the footsteps of the former ambassador, going back 40 years, until they reach the same day that Rocha was recruited, or even further, to the days when the DGI, at the end of the 70s or beginning of the 80s, began the process of study and verification of the agent candidate, where perhaps they have already been given tasks or assignments.
In the case of a single person, this seemingly monumental investigation is relatively brief; more or less, the secret services will corroborate in which incidents this individual was involved, how he acted in them, what information he handled in relation to his position or what information he was able to obtain through his professional or personal relationships. This will reveal to the US authorities, first, an evaluation not only of the damage caused by this spy, but, what is no less important, the damage that is still occurring today for the United States, as a consequence of his actions.
Do ut des
Do ut des It is the Latin phrase that means “I give so that you give.” It has been Americanized with another Latin phrase, something for somethingwhich is pronounced [kuíd pro kuó]and although it means “what instead of what”, in legal, diplomatic or political expression in the United States it is equivalent to “take and give me” or “I give so that you give.”
In that something for somethingWhat will Víctor Manuel Rocha give to the Government of the United States…? Without a doubt he will talk about names of people, events that happened, actions committed and that perhaps are also being carried out today. He will talk, perhaps, about people responsible for crimes, about people killed, some machine-gunned, others shot, others imprisoned, and, as is humanly and animalistically logical, he will try to flee from those events, to evade criminal responsibility, his criminal responsibility and civil for damages, physical and emotional, which will never pay the payments for lost profits of those who left never to return.
Fear?
Rocha, for something like 40 years, has been in conflict zones or where conflagrations took place: New York, Washington, Havana, Tegucigalpa, La Paz…, and if according to himself he has been an agent of the “Directorate”, Understand the DGI, Rocha “has the Jew inside his body”, that is, fear. And as they say in Cuban, “you heal in health” (in reference to the fact that “before the tumor comes out you put the plaster on”), this is what Rocha has done in recent days, transferring million-dollar properties in the name of his wife. he.
And if Víctor Manuel Rocha remembers potential plaintiffs, such as the relatives of the dead Hermanos al Rescate pilots, or how Oswaldo Payá’s widow is right now, and he has already begun defending himself against them, remembering and protecting his assets, it is fair that no culprit goes unpunished nor any of the victims, who gave everything in exchange for nothing, be forgotten, even if Washington struggles with Rocha for a long time. something for something for national security.
