Han pasado más de dos semanas desde que la Casa Blanca anunció que canjearía tres agentes de inteligencia cubanos encarcelados –entre ellos uno hallado culpable de conspiración para asesinar– por un superespía preso en una cárcel de La Habana a quien el presidente Barack Obama llamó “uno de los más importantes agentes de inteligencia que Estados Unidos ha tenido jamás en Cuba”.

Sin embargo, desde el jubiloso anuncio del Presidente, solo ha habido silencio. No se ha dicho nada más del espía ni de los logros que alcanzó. Todos los que fueron liberados de la prisión como parte del acuerdo entre Washington y La Habana –los tres espías cubanos y el subcontratista de la Agencia de Desarrollo Internacional Alan Gross– han aparecido en televisión para hablar de forma exultante sobre su liberación.

The Cuban Traitor 3

 

A spy narrative of betrayal















Members of PR-2 (Partido Revolucionario 2) Lieutenant (later Captain) Jose 'Pepe' Cohen Valdes of the M-VI Directorate (Science and Technology), Bill Gaede (Process Engineer AMD, Intel Corp), Lieutenant Rolando 'Roly' Sarraff Trujillo of the M-XV Directorate (Wiretapping/Surveillance), and Pepe's wife, Captain Lazara Brito Gonzalez of the M-XI and later M-VIII Directorates (Cryptography/ Cryptoanalysis).




In this third episode we establish that Pepe Cohen was working under orders of the Interior Ministry when he feigned the role of counter-revolutionary in front of Fidel's cameras and recorders. Pepe confessed his philosophical change of heart in a room at the Riviera Hotel in January of 1992. However, in a televised interview in 2008, both Pepe and Jorge Luis Vazquez, a Cuban researcher of dealings between Cuba and East Germany, disclose that the East German Secret Service (Stasi) bugged many hotels in Havana as early as 1984 at the request of obsessed Minister of the Interior Ramiro Valdes who "suspected of everything and everyone".

A spy narrative of betrayal















Members of PR-2 (Partido Revolucionario 2) Lieutenant (later Captain) Jose 'Pepe' Cohen Valdes of the M-VI Directorate (Science and Technology), Bill Gaede (Process Engineer AMD, Intel Corp), Lieutenant Rolando 'Roly' Sarraff Trujillo of the M-XV Directorate (Wiretapping/Surveillance), and Pepe's wife, Captain Lazara Brito Gonzalez of the M-XI and later M-VIII Directorates (Cryptography/ Cryptoanalysis).




In the first episode we established that Pepe Cohen did not deliver information to the CIA since 1990 as he said on TV, but rather since June 1992. In this episode, FBI agents testify that the information that Pepe sent is not credible. They conclude that Fidel Castro is setting a trap to ensnare CIA agents while they attempt to extract Pepe, Lazara and Roly from the island.

There is an additional, objective way to establish that PR-2 was not credible. Pursuant to his own declarations on TV, Pepe escaped from the island on a raft in August of 1994. The CIA had a contingency plan to extract him, for instance through the Guantanamo Base, because the agency believed that Pepe could be useful once he was out. However, the agents never implemented the plan because they believed at all times that this was a trap set up by Fidel Castro .









Spy wars: a wilderness of mirrors in U.S.-Cuba swap

More than two weeks have passed since the White House announced that it had traded three imprisoned Cuban intelligence officers — including one convicted of conspiracy to murder — for a super spy held in a Havana prison whom President Barack Obama labeled “one of the most important intelligence agents that the United States has ever had in Cuba.”

But since the president’s announcement, there’s been only silence. Nothing more has been said of the spy or his accomplishments. Of the people released from prison as part of the deal between Washington and Havana, the three Cuban spies and U.S. Agency for International Development contractor Alan Gross have all appeared on television to talk exultantly about their release.

Yet Washington’s master spy has remained anonymous and incommunicado. The only man who seems to fit the handful of clues the White House provided about the spy’s identity — former Cuban Interior Ministry Lt. Rolando Sarraff, jailed since his arrest in 1995 — has disappeared from the Havana prison where he was being held, and his family members say they’ve neither heard from him nor been told his whereabouts.

The Obama administration won’t confirm Sarraff’s name, much less why he could be out of reach.

War of the Words
















A trio of of one

In order to understand who Rolando Sarraff Trujillo is, you absolutely need to get to know Pepe Cohen and his wife Lazara Brito Gonzalez. All of our lives were and are, for better or for worse, intertwined.

In recent declarations to the Miami Herald Pepe denies that all of us were related in some way in regards to espionage.

Spy vs. Spy

The recent spy swap between the United States and Cuba puts an end to 50 years of wrangling between the two countries. Washington finally decided to smoke the peace pipe with the Castros, kiss and make up. Conservatives and anti-Castro groups are outraged, and that's an understatement.They see it as capitulation after over 50 years of cold war with the little squirt down south.

As a token of good faith, the U.S. released the remaining three Cuban Five prisoners and Cuba paid back in kind by releasing communications spy Alan Gross. The deal also included a mysterious Cuban national who President Obama credited with helping expose Cuban spies such as the Cuban Five, Ana Belen Montes, and Kendall and Gwen Myers.
