It is sweet that the FBI introduced lastly down a U.S. ambassador who had been a career-long spy for Cuba.
But did it want 40 years to do it?
Because that’s how lengthy alleged spy Manuel Rocha, 73, of Miami, a veteran State Department official and former U.S. ambassador to Bolivia, had been secretly working for the Cubans, in keeping with the FBI.
In asserting Rocha’s arrest final Monday, Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen, chief of the company’s’ National Security Division, mentioned “For decades Rocha allegedly worked as a covert agent for Cuba and abused his position of trust in the U.S. government to advance the interests of a foreign power.”
Rocha, a naturalized citizen from Columbia was, in keeping with the FBI, a covert agent for Cuba’s General Directorate of Intelligence whereas serving on the National Security Council and as an advisor to the commander of the U.S. Southern Command, which abroad Cuban exercise.
The FBI mentioned he used to consult with Fidel Castro as “Comandante,” and his Cuban intelligence contacts as “Companeros.”
Why it took so lengthy to catch Rocha, the FBI didn’t say regardless that Rocha’s actions “exposes one of many highest-reaching and longest-lasting infiltrations of the United States authorities by a international agent,’ in keeping with Attorney General Merrick Garland.
So now with Rocha out of the best way perhaps the FBI can flip its consideration to the 24,000 younger, military-age Chinese “foreign agents” who’ve illegally crossed into the nation within the final yr. It may additionally examine the armed carjacking home terrorists who’ve unfold concern all through Washington, D.C.
The younger males crossing into the U.S. from the Communist People’s Republic of China are equal to 2 Chinese military divisions, or the equal to the 2 U.S. military infantry divisions that invaded Omaha Beach June 6, 1944, within the World War II Normandy Invasion.
Had the unlawful Chinese immigrants arrived as a gaggle and been armed when crossing from Mexico into Texas and Arizona it will have been an act of battle.
But, wearing civilian garments, they merely walked in and headed for New York or Washington or Chicago or Boston or different politically appropriate and welcoming cities.
They all could also be wonderful younger males looking for a greater life than that they had in police state Communist China.
Or they could possibly be spies, criminals or terrorists despatched to the U.S. to destabilize the nation.
Nobody, together with the Biden administration and the FBI, is aware of who they’re, the place they’re or what they plan to do. Nor do they appear to care.
This is to not single out the Chinese regardless that it’s an adversarial nation that ships hundreds of Chinese males into the U.S. , together with the chemical makings of fentanyl, a drug that kills 200 Americans a day.
Thousands of different unlawful immigrants are additionally flocking throughout Joe Biden’s open border from different adversarial nations like Iran and Russia which, just like the Chinese Communists, need to weaken the United States.
This doesn’t consider the rising menace the Islamic terrorist teams sponsored by Iran, like Hamas or Hezbollah, which can be suspected of sending terrorists throughout the border within the wake of the Israeli War towards Hamas in Gaza.
FBI director Christopher Wray advised a Congressional committee that an already heightened danger of terrorism within the United States has reached “a whole new level.”
“While there might have been instances through the years the place particular person threats may have been greater right here or there than the place they is perhaps proper now, I’ve by no means seen a time the place all of the threats, or so most of the threats, are all elevated at precisely the identical time.
“I see blinking (red) lights everywhere I turn,” Wray mentioned, blinking.
The query is what he and the Biden administration doing about it apart from waving them in.
Apparently not a lot.
The Biden authorities and the FBI can’t or won’t even clear up the rising carjacking downside by armed thugs below their noses in Washington, not to mention cope with the Chinese invasion of America.
Why are you doing this to your nation, Joe?
