By Gjet Kadeli
The ninth part
Memorie.al publishes some archival documents issued by the Authority for the Information of the Files of the former State Security, where there is a voluminous file (the processing form file with 433 pages and the investigative and judicial file with 632 pages) in charge of Gjet Kadel, originating from the village of Bulshar in Oroshi of Mirdita and living in Bushnesh and Mamurras of Kurbin, former political prisoner in the communist regime of Enver Hoxha and his successor, Ramiz Alia, who spent 16 years in communist camps and prisons, as in Spaç, Burrel, etc. As we will see from the documents that are in the file in charge of Gjet Kadel, which is published for the first time by Memorie.al, the surveillance and pursuit of him began in 1957, when he was 17 years old, with the information report of the State Security officer, Fahri Kraja, (based on the data of the Security associate with the nickname “Dylli i Bardhë”, with the approval of the Head of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Kruja district, lieutenant colonel Muhedin Këxhalliu) , continued even during the period he was in camps and prisons, such as in Spaç, where after the revolt of May 1973, Gjeta was sentenced again, as he was the main ideator for raising the flag without the communist star, continuing then in the prison of Burrel, with the reports-information of the Operative Worker, Piro Nuredini, etc., about Gjeta’s conversations with other convicts of that prison, such as: Pjetër Arbnori, Daut Gumeni, Abdulla Sallaku, Spartak Ngjela, Avni Aliko, Luan Burimi , Çaush Çoku, Kapllan Resuli, B come Gjonzeneli, Bashkim Shehu, etc. The surveillance and follow-up of Gjet Kadel continued even after his release from prison in 1987, continuing until January 1991, with the collapse of the communist regime, when his file was finally closed and archived in the secret archive of the former State Security. In the same way, an important place in the said files is also occupied by letter correspondence of Gjeta and his family, with their father, Pjetër Kadeli, former soldier of the Monarchy of Zogu, who had blown up the prison cells of Internal Branch of Rrëshen on July 28, 1950, stayed for some time in the mountains on the run, and then in 1951, secretly returned to Mirdita, took his son, Gjoni, and escaped to Yugoslavia and then to the USA- es, where he stayed as a political emigrant, until the beginning of the 90s, when he returned permanently to Albania. During this period of almost 35 years since Gjet Kadeli has been followed and monitored by the State Security, a total of 33 associates of the State Security have been engaged and activated against him, who have given their reports, starting from “White Wax” in 1957, until “Dallandyshja e Mali” in 1990, which will be reflected in full, as they are in the relevant files.

Report dated 10.VI.1972
He, in the meeting he had where the Head of the Branch, Head of the Section, Thanas Toto and P. Op. Harilla Kola, regarding the allegation of terror that Gjeta had expressed against the Party Leadership, explained as follows:
Talking to Gjeta, after expressing his dissatisfaction, he said that; If I start, I killed Enver Hoxha, I don’t have to tell anyone. This expression came as a result of Gjeta’s dissatisfaction and his lack of trust in various persons, who, according to him, should not be trusted to report to the State Security bodies.
From this expression, I understood that Gjeta is thinking about terror and if he finds the right moment, from what I understand, he carries it out.

He reports that, on 11/6/1972, he met with Gjet Kadel, they met at the Mamurras Cinema, after they greeted each other, he asked Gjet how is your family and where are you working now. I found that; I worked as a carpenter in Mirdita for some time, but they kicked me out because I didn’t have documents and now I’m out of work, as for the cooperative, I don’t work anymore because I don’t have accounts, I don’t have income, now said Gjeta , I have no other choice but to go to America, because I can’t live like this anymore, here he said, Gjeta was talking about escape because there is no other way, in conversations, he tells Finding that; you should work in a cooperative, don’t talk like that. I found again said that; My country is America, not the cooperative, at this time, Gjeta said that in Laç, 3 people escaped, where one of them had a good biography and had served in the army at the Erseke border, while one had father escaped to Australia, said Gjeta, they left by car from here and at 10 o’clock at night, they escaped to Greece, longer, they did not talk to Gjeta because another person came here.
He says that; Geta carries a knife in his pocket, which is double-edged and large, which is not allowed to be carried.
Likewise, he says that; Gjeta maintains close ties with Kin Basha from Mamurrasi, who has a father who escaped abroad and himself, has been interned for some time, today Kini works as a painter in the Municipality of Laçi, together with Kini, three weeks ago, Gjeta was in Lushnje, that, why they went, he could not learn more.
“Mbrehija”
Task:
Meet with Gjet Kadel and in the conversations with him, talk again about the work, whether he was settled anywhere, because he told me that; I don’t work in the cooperative and my country is America, that’s me, Gjeta, I don’t know why you told me, or do you want me to do it like those three from Laçi, I say, Gjet, that you should get down to work, because you know how we are, and no one supports us.
Rating of the giver:
Given this B.p. has operational value, this is due to the fact that Gjeta, being in a hostile position, does not want to work in the agricultural cooperative, saying that; there is no excuse here and my country is America, so here it turns out that there is also a purpose to escape.

Report dated 17.6.1972
He announces that, in a conversation he had with Gjet Kadel, on 17.6.1972, when they were waiting in the department for the beginning of the military choir, that they had been called by the department in Laç. He gave him the newspaper dated June 6, which talks about Tito’s visit to the Soviet Union. After Gjeta read it, he tells him that; few write newspapers. The find says that; these were not used. He tells him; as if the Soviet Union wanted to fall to Yugoslavia and Romania, and Titua goes to visit B.S. Yes, says Gjeta, here there is a reason from one or the other, it is known that they go wrong but, in fact, they are both revisionists. In us, says Gjeta, many big mean things are done, they become spies, the one who spies has all the mean things because even the government does not trust them until they finish work and then kicks them because, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, they do also this work for someone else, so no one can trust anyone. He tells him that; I love you as if I had a brother, because you are determined. I found the answer, determined, not to kill Tito here because he is 80 years old and neither are his descendants, but I have personal praise, if I kill the Prime Minister and the main leader of the Party, Enver Hoxha, I will put myself at their feet and no other. He tells him; I told you to be careful of conversations, don’t talk to anyone and what we talk about together, because you told me that day at home that if I kill the main leader of the Party, I won’t tell anyone, even if I have a brother. He tells him in the continuation of the conversation that; the main party leader did not make frequent visits. Gjeta says that they don’t let him, they guard him a lot, he has been in charge for 30 years and it’s as if he freed him, the German actually fled, because the Soviet Union and other countries fell to him. He tells him that; ours have also fought and today Albania is protected. The find says; yes, but all the expenses, for the most part, are given and made for the army, but in reality, it has not started, who fell to Albania. They worked with agents and eliminated the insiders. We are a small country, not that we don’t fight, but the big always drowns the small. Then Gjeta says; They must not have put a tape recorder near here, because they took us by the neck. He tells him; I don’t think they have such tools. In the continuation of the conversation, he said, for his soul, the leader of the party and the prime minister, as early as tomorrow I will kill them, I will not leave them alive and I will lead in their place. He tells him that; I do not understand this praise. The find says that; if I tell you about someone else leading you, they will put you in prison, but for personal praise, they have nothing to do. I don’t talk to two people higher than that, so take care of yourself.
He says that; how do you do the work of dollars with that old woman in Tirana. The find says that; she also had friends in Korça, etc., and through her, exchanging dollars, I earned and having a relationship with this old woman, I played the part. He tells him that; This job didn’t last long; I would have had fun before. The find says; they have not been sweaty before because, if they were sweaty, I wouldn’t have wasted them.
“Çesma e Trojës”
Task:
- Stay close to Gjeta and during the conversations with him, tactfully, tell him to remove the thought he has about terror against the leadership of the party and the state, because in the end, I will pay for such an action. Stay close, keep a check on his every move and alert us immediately, in case you have an opinion or find out that he is going to leave the Kruja area for other cities. Check for weapons.
Evaluation of information:
- The information is very important, for the reason that, Gjet Kadeli, grinds thoughts to make terror against the leadership of the party and the state. This brings out the task of speeding up the work and hitting it.
Operational measures:
To weave quickly, the strip of T.O., the combination of Gjet Kadel’s collision with the “Trojan Fountain” and to conclude about the proposal, for Gjeta’s blow.
To immediately inform the Branch Management, about the data in this report. Since the II Directorate has previously been informed about Gjeta’s opinion on terror, we think there is no need to inform it again.

INFORMATION
The inspection began at 9 o’clock on 20/6/1972 and ended at 12 o’clock on 20/6/1972
After they have come together to the place where the camouflage is placed, this conversation takes place, between the object and the collaborator, which we are giving as follows:
O: – Today you were called by the command of the brigade, but why, it is not known.
B: – Maybe for some work.
O: – I’m sick of these days.
B: – Me too.
(The object tells the collaborator, some things about agriculture, for example if he was left with three dynym of land near the house, he would use it as a fruit-culture and would not plant anything else)
B: – When you made those cartridges, that problem seems to me like a stupid job.
O: Who in this world has not seen me when I made them and Nikoll Lala, there is no day, only when I gave them.
O: – Nikoll Lala, he told me before, he did it to me, but he didn’t know anything, when I did it, he didn’t know anything about mathematics, as I said.
B: – We have had many conversations together and I will get up tomorrow and tell you that, this is what Gjeta told me, no way, when we had conversations together, you told me that, don’t tell, this is low now. Or didn’t you show me the work of your Easter.
O: – The Chief of Police called me and I told him that; If you can, let me in, thank you, even Thanas, the Operative. Well, these people said good morning to me, I return the greeting, not removing myself as ignorant, which in fact does not belong to me. Zef Gjergji has denounced me, for a conversation we had.
B: – Yes, I was also a man.
O: – How can I trust him, because there, Asim Aliko and Muharrem Pepa ate bread, etc., why, I (donkey) am such a fool to speak openly even if I said, although I didn’t say anything, he it’s simple, you have personal praise, I have a way, I have the ability to beat him, that these are all meanness.
O: – If I have the opportunity, I will tell Enver Hoxha and Mehmet Shehu, sit down, that I will go to your country, head of the government, but, not as a criminal, be conscious, I will remove them and put a another, that they have a conscience, considering personal praise. He did this with thousands of people, without killing Enver Hoxha and Mehmet Shehu, I won’t let it go, everyone knows this. For what you say, let me sell it to you, I told him to keep that word to yourself (this is about the whistleblower Zef Gjergji), and for what you say, I will become the commander, I will kill them both and I informed the Minister of the Interior, and he didn’t catch me here, because this is the personal praise of every person, who is that shit who will never become the head of the government, who is he who will never the voice goes out into the world.
B: – You wanted to finish this because elections had to be made.
O: – Why do I need you, take me out for another, when this is the personal praise of every man.
B: – You connected this with personal praise.
O: – Or exactly, let’s have a simple social conversation, if there are political currents to talk against a government, what kind of government will be created, what do I need, if I need to change the system, what kind of government will be created, what do I need, to try the Italian government, if I need to change the system, and they themselves, when the government wants to remove my cap, because, I don’t say this word, because for the soul, for god’s sake, you become a kiddy ore, this is a personal praise, even my the kids in the evening, because I have nothing to wear them in the evening’ no, I love Enver Hoxha, this is dead, this is a personal praise that, exists everywhere, the government beat me, I can’t do that, and if you ask me about my wish, my wish is not for another government to come here, except for ours.
B: – You connect it with this, that you don’t connect like that.
O: – What are you going to tie it to, don’t open our mouths.
B: – Yes, yes for God, but one thing a person must have, the determination, decided for the reverse, for the reverse.
O: – The man should not play his ass, because he loses respect for the authorities, we take _________(inaudible) the decision I made, I reduce his authority a bit, and for this, he wants to take revenge on me, yes if we take one side, he will take revenge, while if we take the other side, he still has his own lever because, he says, “I’m more compromised and I’ve adapted, where to put my ass, don’t play it anymore.” The government has thought well of the people who deal with rumors and topics, with indignities and with concrete tasks, and then the work of a political wave, a current, which becomes a little confusion, for the first time all the spies, have to be killed slowly slowly, for this oath of god, they are to be killed, because the government knows that, these eat your head, that he went and denounced the person closest to him, that Enver Hoxha, he declared that blood is blood and it becomes water because, whatever you want, they have denounced the cousin, brother or father, uncle or nephew, people of their own blood, of Enver Hoxha and maybe with__________ (inaudible, there is noise) no you only take revenge on your mother, mother and father, where they are in front and back.
B: – Can these spies kill Enver Hoxha?
O: – Have you ever had the chance to kill them tomorrow without realizing it?
B: – Do you play that game?
O: – That game is done, man of the earth. For God’s sake, tomorrow there will be a political confusion, these people will disappear first, especially those of the past ages, who are compromised, but the agent, even the agent always, the last one is finished. Any agency, any state in the world, the agent, be it his adversary, be it the state that introduced him for his actions, from both of them, he has come to an end, from the adversary he makes and seizes and snatches him, while this one who he enters, finishes his work and gives it away. This is proven, yes, it is proven. Memorie.al
