    Other Persons of Interest Paulino Sierra Martinez Martinez was a lawyer employed in the legal counsel's office of the Union Tank Car Co. in Chicago. Before his immigration to the United States, worked in Ministry of Communications in Cuba. Carlos Saladrigas (a minister under Batista) had reportedly employed him, He had also worked with Santiago Alvarez Rodriguez, former senator during Batista's regime. Sierra left Havana in 1960 and settled for a time in Miami where he worked as a judo instructor and a translator. Arriving in Miami in May 1963, Sierra scheduled a series of meetings at a local hotel and invited Cuban exile leaders of all political persuasion to discuss unification for the purpose of military invasion of Cuba. Claimed the Chicago backers (casino owners) were willing to lend assistance to the extent of 30 M$... with or without the help of the U.S. gvt. It was widely rumored that the money was actually from "gambling interests" of organized crime. Preliminary research also indicated that the Secret Service in Chicago was investigating a "threat to the President" case at the time of President Kennedy's assassination, in which Paulino Sierra was of interest. Union Tank Car (Rockefeller company) had a greater role in the junta. Sierra was also holding discussions with several "action" groups for assistance in a military operation against Cuba. Among those contacted who reportedly signed "pledges" of support were Aldo Vera Serafin of the militant MAPA group (American Patriotic Action Movement); Eloy Gutierrez Menoyo and Antonio Veciana Blanch of the SNFE-Alpha 66 alliance; Santiago Alvarez Rodriguez of Comandos L; Eduardo Mor Ruiz, an independent anti-Castro Cuban fighter; and Orlando Bosch of MIRR.

An Abstract of Altered Perceptions; Exposing the Political Alignment of the American Press During the Cuban Period of the Cold War, 1959-1962. Stephanie Crawford Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in History The University of Toledo May 2011 Encompassing the years of 1959-1962, the Cuban period is categorized as the most dangerous period in the Cold War, in which political tensions allowed the world to reach the point of atomic brinkmanship. Heavily documented by the American Press, two major Eastern newspapers, the Democratically inclined New York Times and the more conservative Chicago Tribune, provided distinctly different perceptions of American action relating to Cuba. Review of contrasting information presented within the two newspapers reveals the considerable political influence affecting the portrayal of the invasive actions of the United iii States beginning with the Cuban Revolution and ending with the resigned peace following the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Prior to the 1958-59 Cuban Revolution, the United States enjoyed considerable influence and economic success in Cuba under the Government of Fulgencio Batista.

    / A series edited by Gilbert M. Joseph and Penny Von Eschen The series aims to stimulate critical perspectives and fresh interpretive frameworks for scholarship on the history of the imposing global presence of the United States. Its primary concerns include the deployment and contestation of power, the construction and deconstruction of cultural and political borders, the uid meaning of intercultural encounters, and the complex interplay between the global and the local. American Encounters seeks to strengthen dialogue and collaboration between historians of U.S. international relations and area studies specialists. The series encourages scholarship based on multi-archive historical research. At the same time, it supports a recognition of the representational character of all stories about the past and promotes critical inquiry into issues of subjectivity and narrative. In the process, American Encounters strives to understand the context in which meanings related to nations, cultures, and political economy are continually produced, challenged, and reshaped.

  • Félix Rodríguez Mendigutía El Hombre Que Asesinó Al Che Jean Guy Allard
    Félix Rodríguez Mendigutía: El hombre que asesinó al Che Jean Guy Allard CUENTA entre las más famosas crápulas que alberga Miami, la ciudad norteamericana que contiene, sin duda, más asesinos, esbirros, torturadores y criminales de cualquier índole, por metro cuadrado… En aquella retrograda metrópoli floridana, se cuenta cómo George Bush, el padre, entonces operativo de la CIA encargado de operaciones anticubanas, conoció a Félix Rodríguez Mendigutía, ex agente de la policía de Batista, mientras reclutaba a emigrados cubanos para conformar una tropa de matones y saboteadores. Después de un riguroso entrenamiento, el grupo "de élite" iba a actuar en territorio cubano simultáneamente a la invasión de Playa Girón en el marco de la famosa Operación 40— concebida por el vicedirector de la CIA, Charles Cabell. Así fue como se reunió a individuos tales como: Luis Posada Carriles, Frank Sturgis, E. Howard Hunt, Guillermo e Ignacio Novo Sampoll, Rafael Quintero, José Basulto, Herminio Díaz y Bernard Barker, que luego aparecieron vinculados a los trucos más sucios de los que conformaban ya la mafia miamense. Sobrino de José Antonio "Toto" Mendigutía Silvera, Ministro de Obras Públicas y cercano colaborador del dictador cubano Fulgencio Batista, el joven Félix Rodríguez (más precisamente Félix Ismael Fernando José Rodríguez Mendiglutía), ex alumno de la Havana Military Academy y agente del aparato represivo batistiano, tenía todas las características para sumarse a esta tropa de sicarios. Apenas reclutado, Félix Rodríguez parte hacia la base norteamericana del canal de Panamá para recibir entrenamiento en sabotaje y terrorismo. UNA PRIMERA MISIÓN DESASTROSA Pocos meses más tarde, a finales de 1960, la CIA le confía su primera misión.

  • Washington Decoded
    Washington Decoded 11 June 2008 In the guise of education, John Simkin’s website delivers agitprop. Indoctrination U By Don Bohning If newspapers write “a first rough draft” of history, as the publisher Philip Graham once put it, then the internet can be said to host a “worst draft” of history. There are tens of thousands of reliable websites about historical topics, of course, and many provide the actual tools (instant access to primary documents) that enable readers to reach their own, independent conclusions. But many other sites are extraordinarily tendentious and shroud their advocacy behind a mask of false scholarship. A case in point is a website, Spartacus Educational, established in 1997 by John Simkin, a British historian.[1] Spartacus is billed on Google as a “British online encyclopedia [that] focuses on historical topics . articles are geared toward students.” And the website, according to one description, is “one of the most established and popular history sites on the world wide web.”[2] In the late 1990s, apparently, Simkin was one of the very first history teachers to recognize the potential of the internet and take advantage of the new digital medium. As for Simkin, he presents himself as a history teacher and prolific author of books about a diverse number of subjects—which he is, although his short books are mostly self-published.[3] An innocent student who stumbles onto Spartacus Educational would probably think the Google description is apt, and be impressed by Simkin’s credentials. It takes a little digging to figure out Simkin is much more interested in indoctrination than education, in keeping with his unreconstructed left-wing views.
