Many of the acts in the multi-ring Normalization Circus are troubling, but some stick out like a sore thumb.
It’s not just the role of the U.S. government that is troubling in some of these cases, but also that of the international news media, which — as always — tries to hide or downplay any news item that makes the Castro regime look less than holy.
The case of cold-blooded racist murderer Joanne Chesimard, a.k.a. Assata Shakur, is only the frost on the tip of a huge iceberg.
Catrogonia harbors many nefarious characters who should stand for trial in U.S. courts.
But, below that relatively thin –yet awful— layer of frost, Castrogonia also harbors many, many more nefarious characters who should stand trial for crimes against humanity.
These criminals aren’t American fugitives. They’re Cubans.
Oh, but those criminals have friends in high places. Sorry, Mildred — momentary lapse of reason — so sorry. How could one ever forget King Raul’s chief enabler?
Cuba: the “Law Enforcement Dialogue” and the Cop Murderer
The United States and Cuba are about to enter a series of “dialogues” including one about law enforcement. Here is what Reuters reported:
“Cuba and the United States aim to reach new agreements on cooperation in law enforcement, health and agriculture over the coming months, a senior Cuban official said on Monday, as part of the former Cold War foes’ drive to normalize ties….
A bilateral commission met on Monday in Havana to establish a roadmap for talks over the rest of this year, which would include more high-ranking official visits, said Josefina Vidal, head of the Cuban delegation….
The United States looks forward to holding these meetings in the near future,” the [United States] embassy said. “Tomorrow (we) will discuss specific steps related to bilateral security during the law enforcement dialogue.”
How do you have a law enforcement dialogue with a regime that is giving sanctuary to, and protecting, American fugitives who include murderers?
Classic image of “smart” diplomacy
The most famous case is that of Joanne Chesimard, but she is not alone. Here is what NBC reported in March:
White House officials would not tell NBC News whether President Obama will raise the issue of 70 fugitives from U.S. justice — including convicted cop-killer JoAnne Chesimard — who are hiding in Cuba when he meets Cuban leaders during his visit to the island.
A White House official did say, however, that the “United States continued to seek the return from Cuba of fugitives from U.S. justice and has repeatedly raised those cases with the Cuban government.”
Chesimard, who fled to Cuba in 1984 after escaping from a New Jersey prison in 1979, was convicted of the 1973 execution-style murder of New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster. She is on the FBI’s Most Wanted International Terrorists list, and is the most notorious of a group of criminals and violent radicals who have sought refuge in Cuba since Fidel Castro took power.
If the “law enforcement dialogue” is aimed at getting back such fugitives, we can only hope it succeeds. If it does not have that objective, it is another in a series of give-aways and disgraces that have marked recent U.S. policy toward Cuba.
Joanne Chesimard, a.k.a. Assata Shakur, free as a bird, livin’ the revolutionary high life in Castrogonia

The rapper Common was invited and warmly welcomed to the Obama White House despite having written a song in honor of “Assata Shakur,” whom he had reportedly visited in Cuba. The objections of the NJ law enforcement community were ignored. The math is not especially hard to do.
No, I cannot get inside the pope’s head, and God only knows what his exact thinking and motivations are, but consider this: given how openly and overtly offensive his conduct regarding Cuba has been to Cubans who long for an end to the Castro plague, what does that say about him? I only see two possible interpretations: either he’s genuinely convinced he’s doing the right thing, in which case he’s dangerously deluded and clearly NOT fit for his position, or he’s not much different from the numerous political figures who have long played into the hands of Castro, Inc. and thus enabled it for various unjustifiable reasons, in which case he’s also NOT fit for his position. Either way, we have a BIG problem with Don Francisco, don’t we? Lord have mercy.
