Part eight
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 judicial investigation 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) , has continued even during the period that he was in camps and prisons, such as in Spaç, where after the revolt of May 1973, Gjeta was re-sentenced, as he was the main ideator for raising the flag without the communist star, then continuing in prison of Burrel, with the reports-information of 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, Kaplan Resuli, Ba rdhosh 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 image 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 files in question is also the letter correspondence of Gjeta and his family, with their father, Pjetër Kadeli, a former soldier of the Monarchy of Zogu, who had blown up the prison cells of of the Internal Branch of Rëshen 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.

He reports that, on 18/7/1971, he met with Gjet Kadel, in the conversation Gjeta told him that; America’s Nixon will visit China and will do so until May 1972. Gjeta said, I heard this on the radio in the Yugoslav language, and so did my uncle Zef Kadeli who, now he got out of prison. He tells him; What is the purpose of this visit to China?
I found that; this is of great importance to us, because they will go towards the regulation of relations, by regulating these we will win and we will connect with our people who have escaped to America where they will send us loot and then we will not need to work anymore, but we will sit and have fun, up and down because, now our soul is toasted with work. Now Gjeta said, for this visit that Nixon will make to China, the Soviets are angry, so there is a risk for them to start the war and if this is started, they will win it at once. The conversation did not continue any longer, as other people came.

On 9/21/1971, he met Luigj Frrokun and Gjet Kadel in the new market, who were both together and had come from Mamurrasi. Luigji has been in Tirana and three years ago, he was expelled from Tirana, with the right of residence in the district of Lushnje, while Gjeta lives in Mamurras.
Louis in the presence of Gjeta, when he asked him that; How is Lushnja doing, Luigji said: How will we fare as exiles that we are. We internees, Luigji said, are treated very badly, even as blacks are treated in the USA, as if we are not Albanians. We work much more than others, recently they have increased our rate, from one and a half dynym to four dynym, cutting corn, so we do not realize and receive nothing. It occurred to me, we have to stay 10-12 hours a day.
Continuing the conversation, Luigji said that; I received letters from my father-in-law in America and he told me that they live very well there, but they are worried about us, that we suffer here, because the dollars they used to send us, they stopped us in Albania. While Gjeta said that; I’m not asking anymore, neither for the government nor for the party, I haven’t been to the cooperative for four months, but I work as a private carpenter, I get 500 lek a day at home, with my uncle who has been out of prison for 6 months now. Gjeta said, they want to use me, but I don’t obey them anymore, even though Rrem Sefa has called me three times in Burizana.
He says that; Luigj Frroku and Gjet Kadel are brothers-in-law, i.e. Luigji married Gjeta’s sister. Vjerri Luigjit, who is also Gjeta’s father, is a fugitive in 1949, together with his eldest son, who is called Gjon Kadeli, while Luigji has a fugitive brother, whose name is Anton Frroku, who is fugitive before 7-8 years old and located in America.

Report dated 1/14/1972
The source announces that, on 4/1/1972, he met with Gjet Kadel, the meeting took place in Mamurras, he talked with Gjet Kadel for 1 hour, he ate; I haven’t had the chance to talk together, how is the non-arrival of the Chinese delegation to the 6th Party Congress explained?! I found, in the answers it says; until China and America exchange visits, our party says we are not with you, until the American president visits China on February 22, 1972.
He tells him; but what purpose can this visit have, Gjeta said that; the visit aims to destroy China’s leadership, an example said Gjeta, until Mao Zedong’s closest friend, Lin Biao, was dismissed from office, and 16 ministers who did not agree with the visit were also dismissed. the main role in this, said Gjeta, is being played by Çu En Lai, the close friend of our country who is now elbowing us.
The find goes on to say that; colossal changes will be made on the globe, he tells him; and how the changes will be made. The find says; the changes will be made in this way, the work will be done, I was separated from other states, our state, and thus our country, no one leaves, on the other hand, the majority of our people are not with this government and do not he has them with him in any case, said Gjeta, until the people have not left a single thing behind their souls, only water. The find says; God, we don’t have a war with rifles because they will tear us apart, but no, there is no war, repeated Gjeta, because if it starts, these people have nowhere to hold them, finally, Gjeta says that; Albania, this party has no mother or father, how much they have violated and how much they will violate, you have to see.
Again, Gjeta tells him that; when Brezhnev of the Soviet Union came to visit Yugoslavia, he went hunting with Tito and in conversations told Tito that; America’s Nixon tasked me with all things and that’s why I came here, Gjeta said, I heard it on the “Voice of America” radio.
We didn’t talk to Gjeta for a long time.

- Talk to the “Voice of America” about what Gjeta has heard or anything else.

The source announces that, on May 1, he went to visit Gjeta Kadeli and after a while he takes Gjeta to his house and takes her for lunch. During the conversation, Gjeta says that; they can put me in jail, but they have nothing to do with me. He tells him; How is it possible to do as you say, Gjeta says; they are angry that he refused to serve them because, they say; you have the opportunity, affected by the political side and get involved everywhere, but I do not do this in any way and I told the Chief of Police that; I don’t work with you, as if I see Yugoslavia here, I have nothing to do with you and the boss told me that; if you take it, I will arrange it well.
They occupy you in this way, as if I have come for lunch, you have and you wear disguised recording. He tells him; what is this, that I am talking about, yes, says Gjeta, it is called recording because he records the whole conversation, what is being talked about, in fact for me it is very dangerous because, otherwise, I have nothing to tell do, then one to one.
In continuation of the conversation, Gjeta said that; if I start with killing Enver Hoxha, I don’t have anyone to tell and, for these other things, I’m not included in the trio. He tells him; I don’t know how to say that, you are smart yourself and more than me, but who do you have a closer friend in the sense that you trust them. The find says that; I don’t have, I have behind in the military life and until recently, Simon Buna, from Mamurrasi, while now, I don’t believe that now even the byrazeri is unfaithful to you. He tells him that; if you love me, start working in the cooperative. The find says that; It’s been 8 months since anyone called me for work, as if I didn’t need it at all.
Gjeta is also talking to his son-in-law, who gave him his sister and is in exile in Berat.
“Çezma e Trojës”
Task:
Stay close to Gjeta, learn his moves and go deep, if you think about assassinating Comrade Enver, in this case if you have any weapons.
Evaluation of information:
The data is important because it seems that Gjeta is thinking of committing an assassination, and at the same time there are concerns that he will not be arrested because he was called, as Gjeta himself says, for cooperation, by the chief of police and he did not accept .
