LongIslander1987 Since: Oct 12 4,050 West Islip, NY	#1 17 hrs ago A few days ago, Jorge and I had talked about the rampant leftism in colleges and universities these days. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/09/05/fb... "Cuba’s communist-led intelligence services are aggressively recruiting leftist American academics and university professors as spies and influence agents, according to an internal FBI report published this week. Cuban intelligence services “have perfected the work of placing agents, that includes aggressively targeting U.S. universities under the assumption that a percentage of students will eventually move on to positions within the U.S. government that can provide access to information of use to the [Cuban intelligence service],” the five-page unclassified FBI report says. It notes that the Cubans “devote a significant amount of resources to targeting and exploiting U.S. academia.” " I wonder how many UPR professors they have on their payroll. It's pretty obvious that a large chunk of PIP and Soberanista leaders have been brought out by the Cubans. This calls for a major Federal investigation. Our educators and activists should not be pawns of a foreign enemy. Judged: 1 1 Reply » Report Abuse Judge it!
JMWinPR San Juan, Puerto Rico	#2 12 hrs ago This is new?? This has been occurring at least since the '40's. Cuba wasn't recruiting of course, but the former USSR. They don't need to recruit, most will work willingly work for them. Been in a college dorm in the past 50 yrs? Most have the ubiquitous picture of Sr Guevara. I find it fascinating that after the "takeover" professors are among the first "parasites" to be removed. And each April 22 or there abouts, we celebrate the birthday of the fellow who coined the phrase "useful idiot". Anyone have any solutions? Look forward to hearing them Judged: 1 1 1 Reply » Report Abuse Judge it!

Our educators and activists should not be pawns of a foreign enemy. I was willing to denounce a couple of UPR workers travelling illegally to Cuba thru the Dominican Rep. and Jamaica. Guess what? Its not on the FBI's agenda to investigate such cases, and mind you, they were local independentistas and soberanistas. My guess, the Cold War is over. I remember, as recent as 1989, when some of my own UPR classrooms were "infiltrated" with anti Communist undercovers, amongst my classmates, paid by the federal govt. How do I know this? Because thru class participation they could know who was who,- they "uncovered" themselves to me by showing me their badges, ids and hidden guns. Reply » Report Abuse Judge it!

That's interesting because the FBI identified Puerto Rican separatism as a major internal security threat in their 2013 Domestic Threat Assessment alongside various other wackos and radicals. http://nation.foxnews.com/2014/08/31/fbi-nati... "They include anti-government militia groups and white supremacy extremists, along with “sovereign citizen” nationalists, and anarchists. Other domestic threat groups outlined by the FBI assessment include violent animal rights and environmentalist extremists, black separatists, anti- and pro-abortion activists, and Puerto Rican nationalists." ^ clearly the Feds are still interested. I would contact the US State Department about the illegal travel to Cuba ... it's still a Federal offense and people have been prosecuted for it as recently as 2012. Reply » Report Abuse Judge it!

At least, they don't bother with those travelling, at their own risk, to Cuba- and there are thousands of Americans doing it as we post. And let me tell you, one of the persons I called about, publicized his "feat" all over the campus, not that he hid it or anything of the sort. It was vox populi. So, I had tons of witnesses. I called the FBI and they acknowledged that Americans were travelling to forbidden places but the cost of prosecuting them was too high, due to the numbers. Reply » Report Abuse Judge it!

You could have spent some of that lawsuit money, you and Davey sure do like contacting law enforcement. I would put money on you being one of those Cuban spies with all your anti US rhetoric...
