By Gjet Kadeli
Part twenty-two
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, Bardhosh 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 the “Mountain Swallow” in 1990, which will be reflected in full, as they are in the relevant files.

He reports that on 30.3.1975, he wished Gjete Kadel Easter, saying that next year, he would celebrate it at home. I found it, welcomed it and started the conversation. Next, Gjeta told him, “Let this holiday triumph over the whole country. The time will come when this holiday will be for the whole people. And the Albanian people, as soon as they are saved from this hell, will return to the Catholic faith, which is the spiritual and moral basis of law. Yes, Ndue Kola, did you wish him Easter?! You have a bad opinion of him and I can’t imagine that he came for you as you claim.
You are credulous, continued Gjeta, now I know clearly and that’s why they ate my head, but with me they can do that. A spy cannot enter me easily. My pursuit has a certain purpose; it is not only about me, but also about me, which, I’m afraid, has been thrown at them. I am proud of my father, and I remain loyal to him on two fronts, the spiritual and the political. Hopefully, we both and the whole brotherhood will live to see the day of freedom over these cannibals, and then you will see who the real men are and their heroism.
But be assured, that now, the full cup is being poured out, as their inevitable end is coming. All the saints and peoples unite today on this marked day, to wish their overthrow. I think, he said, that it is better not to speak and to hold your tongue. I found it, answered him: You are right, but my soul does not accept it, and I am honored to be among those thousands of men who were martyred by these Anatolians. Of course, I choose people, but I don’t lack the courage to tell you the truth openly and in front of them. That’s really brave, he said.”

He reports that, talking to Gjeta Kadel, Gjeta told him that; “America would never withdraw without taking the opportunity as it has created the opportunity in the red, to fight with each other for power. I left you the property that, it works with long waves”. Regarding bureaucratization, Gjeta said; “It’s tightening your noose, so men, cut it here and cut it there, until it ends.”

You found Kadeli, you approached him and said: I believe you are happy when the reds win or not. How do you understand, he said, I mean what you told me, that the year 1975 is the end for these of us. I know how it is going with this ending.
The pear has its tail behind, Gjeta continued. Remember that, America is making concessions in Asia, with an agreement between it and China, in order to have a free hand in Europe and this point marks the end you understand. On the contrary, he said, I think that China will hand over Beijing before Albania. You are cold in the brain, Gjeta told the source, with these propagandistic tales they have lied to you for 30 years. They are not even on good terms with China. Relationships are superficial. China, so big, has not shot and convicted as these Turkshak criminals of ours, ore nitwit, was calling to mind.
This is the internal matter of Gethe, the source told. Internal issues are also related to external ones, continued Gjeta, these hoxhallars have discretized the communist dogma, with their bloody deed, no one else and China knows this well. These people of ours are looking for a way out, but no one admits that they have many debts to pay, many adventures blacker than those of the Middle Ages, remember that what you expect will happen, exactly the reversal, the graves will be raised for revenge.

The source reports that, talking to dt. 8/5/1975, with Gjet Kadel, the source told Gjeta that the seventh congress will not open without a new constitution. The main leader in the sixth congress said that, many things have been overcome, the constitution has become obsolete.
Well done, said Gjeta to the source, that’s how you like it, but don’t forget that here they can overcome anything, but they can never overcome the river of blood. That river of blood that they have shed in vain, not those who do not overcome it, but not even their children, the worst yet, these barbarians, left our enmity precisely in the children. I think you will get to see how blood will be washed with blood, you will learn their monstrous crimes, crimes that are never overcome, but with each passing day, they are renewed in the souls of our children.
Don’t you see that today, after 30 years, the oppression is more severe than in 1944? So, do not have any illusions, they do not give up Turkish barbarism. Peter said well yesterday. Those letters that he sends by the hundreds, he gives them to me, to make coffee, nothing comes of it, and I write a novel, as many letters as he writes to the Labor Party.
I don’t ask for forgiveness, but I ask for my right and I will find it, Gjeta told the source: Ask for it and you will find it, when the crow is white. Stupid! Your right and that of the entire Albanian people will be found on that day, when the red devil, which the honorable priests have so beautifully predicted, will come down from the shoulders of the Albanian people, who led them to death.
Gjeta consults with Pjetri and Simon Juban every day. These are real men, Miftar Veliu told him, but not the red communists, who are ripping off our skin without knowing it. The nameless government, continued Gjeta, half male and half female, according to a morning lament.
“Dardha”
Rating of the giver:
The information has operational value because the convicted Gjet Kadeli shows hostile activity against the Party and the socialist regime in our country.
Task: For Gjeta, he did not give you a task because he was given another task before, but you also tasked Muço Bazi and told him that; you Muço, you must protect yourself from others, because you speak too much and openly, because I remember when you spoke to me in this way and told me that it will be the fathers of the nation who will take the blame, that these they treat us worse than dogs…
Clarification of the provider: Pjetri and Gjeta are under processing II/A.

He reports that, according to the task given, that on 22/5/1975, he talked with Gjet Kadel, Gjeta told him that; the most prominent personalities in the prison were Pjetër Arbnori, Nikoll Mazreku and Simon Jubani and that now the time of freedom is approaching and they will shine and we have the great fortune to live with them.
He told Gjeta that; they don’t budge because they have secured power, Gjeta continued: In 1969, an old man from Lura told me, son, never reach the top, I remembered that he cursed me, but that was a blessing because, yes reach the top, you have nowhere to go, you will go down and break your neck, these started the descent towards breaking your neck, for this belief, these (communists) are finished.
Those who have been passed over to the Tsar of Russia for crimes, the soles of your feet are shaking, they have been forgotten like that old oak that, while its skin remains and is alive inside, and with the blowing of a wind, it falls. This fight with each other marks their end, they ate their own legs, this shows that, even in their ranks, there are those who regret and are retreating. Yes, you mean that they are damaged, and sins are washed away like that. Now that big stelushi is left with a few lapdogs and by God, he can’t find a hole to fit in, so let him does as Thieu of Vietnam did to him, but where will he end up?!
There is nowhere to go, here, here, they will all be washed away, and the people raise their hands from the sky, praying for their end. The Italian press called the Spaçi revolt as follows: The flowers of the Albanian nation are blooming, on the 30-year terrorist ice, true freedom is approaching. I am three generations in their prisons, grandfather, father and me. How many are like me? Half of Albania here and even will be paid soon, all will be paid. There is nothing more sacred than to fight against these, the palaces of Europe.
They hardly let him go without a rifle, Gethe, he told him. With rifles they will pay for these, not others, but don’t believe the noises of the newspaper, it shows their fear, their weakness.
