1960 G-2 Matanzas, Cuba

It was 1960 Matanzas, Cuba. Some were still drunk with Castro's Revolution. In Matanzas William Galvez was the military commander in charge of the province. Ramiro Valdes had named Ireneo Leon as head of the G-2 and a group of G-2 members would get together every night in order to safeguard the revolution from anyone not sympathetic. These men which included my father were part of the security aparatus in Matanzas. Fernando Pinedo Rodriguez (my father), Domingo Calabasa, Carlo Candelario. I will let history pass judgement on them.

  1. And I was marching every night, gritando: Agua, jabon y cepillo, los yanquis son amarillos.

  2. Yo marchaba todas las noches en la plazoleta del cuartel Goicuria con un peloton de Jovenes Rebeldes gritando: Un, dos, tres, cuatro. Tambien gritaba: Agua, jabon y cepillo los Yanquis son amarillo. Marcos F Pinedo...Matanzas, Cuba..1960

  3. Todavia recuerdo a las masas de gente envidiosa, ignorante y llenas de odio gritar: PAREDON, PAREDON, PAREDON, PING PONG FUERA, ABAJO LA GUSANERA. Un odio como ninguno otro visto en la historia de Cuba. Nos prometiero un Shangri-La y se convirtio en un infierno. May Fidel and Raul rot in hell.
