EXCERPT:
While in Cuba, Ardin worked with the Las damas de blanco (the Ladies in White), a feminist anti-Castro group.
Shamir and Bennett noted that Las damas de blanco is partially funded by the US government and also counts Luis Posada Carriles as a supporter.

On another matter...
The BFEE link you provided is mind blowing and intense. It gives me a lot to worry about.
There used to be a guy named Larry Blake in my neighborhood who was a GW I war vet who was chronically ill with GWI. Years ago he had been a tugboat captain for Zapata, a BushCo owned corporation that according to Blake "smuggled contraband". He had been injured on the job and sued the company, but they toyed with him for years. One night he called me up and said that when he met with the attorneys for Zapata one of them threatened him and during the exchange said "if we can get rid of Jack Kennedy, what do you think we can do to you?"
He talked a lot that night and I was under so much stress listening to him that I started to drink vodka to keep my heart from beating out of my chest. I laid down on the floor because I felt like I was going to faint from tachycardia. I kept telling him that it wasn't a good idea to say these things over the phone...but he kept going and I couldn't stop listening. About a week later he called me all excited and said that he got a call from one of the Zapata people who was going to meet him at the Capri, a local bar. He seemed to be under the impression that his legal injury case was about to be settled. Long story short, when driving back from the meeting he crashed his car and was killed.
At the funeral home at the viewing his wife complained that she hadn't been able to find his glasses at the crash site, and that seeing him lying there in the casket... "that he didn't look right without his glasses."
Just wanted to get this one off my chest as it has bothered me for years.
