____Part ONE of TWO
Jesse Jackson’s ( public) objections
to Rush Limbaugh’s NFL ownership
plan ran roughly as follows:
“Rush Limbaugh made his wealth
appealing to the fears of whites
with an unending line of insults
against blacks and
other minorities…
the National Football League
has set high standards for racial
justice and inclusion.”
“Viva Fidel!”
“Viva Fidel!”
bellowed Rev. Jesse Jackson
of Havana in June 1984,
while trailing a 300 person entourage
that included Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
“Viva Che Guevara!”
he yelled again with
fists raised high.
“Long Live our cry of freedom!”
“He (Jesse Jackson)
is a great personality,”
reciprocated a
beaming Fidel Castro,
“a brilliant man.
Jackson’s main characteristic
is honesty.
He is sincere and there is
no hint of demagoguery
in his speech.”

As mentioned,
this was summer of 1984,
so at the time,
the world’s longest-suffering
black political prisoner suffered
his incarceration and tortures
in stoic defiance.
“Nigger!”
taunted his jailers
between tortures.
“We pulled you down from
the trees and cut off your tail!”
I do not refer to Nelson Mandela.
No,
this prisoner was being tortured
a few miles away from the
Revs. Jackson,
Wright and their entourage of
black American luminaries.

_______EUSEBIO PENALVER
.
_____
.
The prisoner was a black Cuban
named Eusebio Penalver and he
was being tortured by Reverend
Jackson’s gracious hosts.
Mr Penalver’s incarceration
and tortures stretched to
29 years which makes him
the longest-suffering black
political prisoner in modern history,
surpassing Nelson Mandela’s
record in time behind bars and
probably doubling the horrors
suffered by Mandela
during this period.
Eusebio Penalver
was bloodied in his fight with
Castroism but unbowed for
almost 30 years in its dungeons.
He’s what Castroites call a
“plantado”–
a defiant one,
an unbreakable one.
“Stalin tortured,”
wrote Arthur Koestler,
“not to force you to reveal a fact,
but to force you to collude
in a fiction.”
“The worst part of Communism,
” wrote Solzhenytzin,
“is being forced to live a lie.”
Eusebio Penalver refused
to collude in this lie.
He spit in the face
of his liar jailers.
He scorned any “re-education”
by his jailers.
He knew it was they who
desperately needed it.
He refused to wear the
uniform of a common criminal.
He knew it was they
who should don it.
