Documentation of Castro Assassination Plots REFERENCE: Review Staff 75/1696 1. Per referent request, we have conducted a revimv- <tf our files on incidents and individuals mentioned in the report given by Fidel Castro to Senator McGovern. This memorandum contains the results of our traces on the alleged assassination plots and the Cuban individuals mentioned in the report. It must be borne in mind that our files are keyed primarily to names of individuals and not by incidents or plots, thereby making the retrieval process difficult. No project file bearing specifically on the subject of assassination has been located. Nonetheless, what follows is kcyc~ to the chronological order of the plots as described in Castro's report. A. Mid 1960. Nothing has been located in records which ties CIA ·to this incident. (1) Armando CUBRIA Ramos. According to CIA traces, CUBRIA was a long-time sabotage expert and member of Castro's 26th of July Movement until 1960, when he apparently tu~ned on Castro. He was arrested in 1960 for organizing underground activity against the Castro regime and was sentenced to 30 years imprison­ ment for conspiracy.

BEING SUCCESSFULLY NASTY: THE UNITED STATES, CUBA AND STATE SPONSORED TERRORISM, 1959-1976 by ROBERT G. DOUGLAS B.A., University of Victoria, 2005 Supervisory Committee Dr. Jason Colby (Department of History) Supervisor Dr. Perry Biddiscombe (Department of History) Departmental Member Dr. Jordan Stanger-Ross (Department of History) Departmental Member Dr. Michelle Bonner (Department of Political Science) Outside Member ii Supervisory Committee Dr. Jason Colby (Department of History) Supervisor Dr. Perry Biddiscombe (Department of History) Departmental Member Dr. Jordan Stanger-Ross (Department of History) Departmental Member Dr. Michelle Bonner (Department of Political Science) Outside Member Abstract Despite being the global leader in the “war on terror,” the United States has been accused of sponsoring terrorism against Cuba. The following study assesses these charges. After establishing a definition of terrorism, it examines U.S.-Cuban relations from 1808 to 1958, arguing that the United States has historically employed violence in its efforts to control Cuba. U.S. leaders maintained this approach even after the Cuban Revolution: months after Fidel Castro‟s guerrilla army took power, Washington began organizing Cuban exiles to carry out terrorist attacks against the island, and continued to support and tolerate such activities until the 1970s, culminating in what was the hemisphere‟s most lethal act of airline terrorism before 9/11.

    Appendix: Nixon’s Caribbean Milieu, 1950–1968 “Though his working life has been passed chiefly on the far shores of the continent, close by the Pacific and the Atlantic, some emotion always brings Richard Nixon back to the Caribbean waters off Key Biscayne and Florida.”—T. H. White, The Making of the President, 19681 Richard Nixon, like millions of other Americans, enjoyed Florida and the nearby islands of Cuba and the Bahamas as refuges where he could leave behind his many cares and inhibitions. But he also returned again and again to the region as an important ongoing source of political and financial support. In the process, the lax ethics of its shadier operators left its mark on his career. This Sunbelt frontier had long attracted more than its share of sleazy businessmen, promoters, and politicians who shared a get-rich-quick spirit. In Florida, hustlers made quick fortunes selling worthless land to gullible northerners and fleecing vacationers at illegal but wide-open gambling joints. Sheriffs and governors protected bookmakers and casino operators in return for campaign contributions and bribes. In nearby island nations, as described in chapter 4, dictators forged alliances with US mobsters to create havens for offshore gambling and to wield political influence in Washington. Nixon’s Caribbean milieu had roots in the mobster-infested Florida of the 1940s. He was introduced to that circle through banker and real estate investor Bebe Rebozo, lawyer Richard Danner, and Rep. George Smathers. Later this chapter will explore some of the diverse connections of this group by following the activities of Danner during the 1968 presidential campaign, as they touched on Nixon’s financial and political ties to Howard Hughes, the South Florida crime organization of Santo Trafficante, and mobbed-up hotels and casinos in Las Vegas and Miami.

  • Music for a Shadow Play)
    Gamelan (Music for a Shadow Play) By Lawrence R. Tirino ©2013 To the good people who have been led astray by madmen, and especially to those who have suffered as a result. 1.Death in the Afternoon Chucha de tu madre! Que bestia!¨ Louis grumbled under his breath as he listened to the men on red scooters visiting all the small shopkeepers. ¨Chulqueros! ¨ He spat into the gutter. ¨Todo el pueblo anda chiro; ¨ - meaning of course that everyone‟s pockets held lint, or dust, or assorted garbage, but none of them held any money. They can‟t get credit cards, and banks won‟t lend them the small amounts that they needed to keep their business running, so they look for one of the countless street shysters that sit drinking coffee at beachfront restaurants in the afternoons when the sun has mellowed. These merchant bankers are the survivors who fled the brutality of their own countries; and although they now wear fine leather shoes and silk shits, the scent of decadence still clings to their pores. Last year they were charging twenty per cent of the principle on the first of the month. Nervous shopkeepers were easily confused into believing that they were paying the same rates as banks. Now it was even easier; a few dollars every day. But all the borrower ever pays is interest. One day the victim wakes up and realizes their mistake; and then they fold and disappear into the nighttime air. Or perhaps the back page of the morning paper. Sunday, the saddest day.

    Cartas desde París -- Segundo tomo -- (Serie: CARTAS A OFELIA) ©Félix José Hernández Valdes Estimados lectores: Traemos en este segundo tomo de las “Cartas desde París”, (el primero fue publicado al inicio de este año 2013), el material que quedó pendiente de agregar en dicho libro anterior. Por ello se acordó dividirlo en dos o más libros, ya que uno solo sería muy amplio. Hemos efectuado algunos pequeños cambios al inicio de las crónicas, los cuales no afectan su contenido periodístico. Les damos las gracias por la atención a las mismas, que como siempre, han sido escritas con cariño y amor Félix José Hernández Valdés y Europa Actualidad (A.F.I.Sc. eu’93) - 1 - Cartas desde París -- Segundo tomo -- (Serie: CARTAS A OFELIA) ©Félix José Hernández Valdes Este segundo tomo va dedicado a mis inolvidables: Adelina, Amelia, Anita, Estela, Gloria, Juana, María Eugenia y Rosita, que llenaron de alegría mi ya lejana infancia. - 2 - Cartas desde París -- Segundo tomo -- (Serie: CARTAS A OFELIA) ©Félix José Hernández Valdes PRÓLOGO No tuve la dicha de conocer en persona a la Sra. Ofelia Valdés Ríos, esa distinguida dama y gran madre de la que todos hablan; pero me permitió, allá por el 1975, conocer a su hijo, Félix José Hernández, joven fino, elegante, del que cualquier señorita se enamoraría y desearía que le pretendiera con ese porte de Lord inglés; siempre pulcro, y perfumado en aquella Cuba en decadencia; pero él sólo tenía ojos para Marta Fernández Sardiñas: El amor de su vida. Admiro en él el amor y respeto con el que habla de su madre, a tal punto que ya me creo que yo también estuve en la calle Soledad # 507, entre Zanja y San José, Centro Habana, Cuba, en la misma sala de la casa de Ofelia, compartiendo con ella y toda su hermosa familia.

Mandl 21.04.2021 CIA Assassination Plot Targeted Cuba's Raul Castro As Castro Retires on 60th Anniversary of the Bay of Pigs, National Security Archive Posts Declassified Top Secret CIA Cables, Reports from 1960 Agency Officials Willing to Pay Over $10,000 For ‘Fatal Accident’ Another Assassination Plot against Fidel Castro Was Part of Bay of Pigs Invasion Strategy Washington D.C., April 16, 2021 – In the earliest known CIA assassination plot against leaders of the Cuban revolution, high agency officials offered the pilot of a plane carrying Raul Castro from Prague to Havana “payment after successful completion of ten thousand dollars” to “incur risks in arranging accident” during the flight, according to formally TOP [email protected] ١ www.afgazad.com SECRET documents posted today by the National Security Archive. The pilot, who the CIA had earlier recruited as an intelligence asset in Cuba, “asked for assurance that in event of his [own] death the U.S. would see that his two sons were given a college education.” “This assurance was given,” his CIA handler in Havana, William J. Murray, reported. According to TOP SECRET cables between the CIA headquarters and the CIA Havana station, and debriefings Murray later provided on "questionable activities," the plot quickly evolved after the Cuban pilot, Jose Raul Martinez, advised Murray that he had been selected to fly a chartered Cubana Airlines plane to Prague to pick up Raul Castro and other high-ranking Cuban leaders on July 21, 1960.

  • El Segundo Frente De Guerra Contra Batista
    1 Sierra del Escambray El Segundo F r e n t e d e Guerra contra B a t i s t a ¿ Cómo se fundo el frente de guerra del Escambray.? Por Miguel García Delgado y la colaboración de Roger Redondo, Dr. Armando Fleites, Felipe Lema, y Eloy Gutiérrez Menoyo. 2 A modo de prologo: Sobre La Revolución Cubana se han escrito infinidad de versiones. Algunos autores, atraídos por el complejo proceso insurreccional, que culminó con el derrocamiento de la dictadura de el General Fulgencio Batista, el 1 de Enero de 1959, se aventuraron a dar sus interpretaciones con interés y mérito, pero, con una objetividad relativa. La verdad, como necesidad histórica, tiene que abrirse el camino, forzándonos por una cuestión moral, a rescribir el proceso revolucionario, desde una perspectiva inclusiva, donde estén presentes, las múltiples facetas del clandestinaje, los asaltos heroicos y la creación de los diferentes Frentes Guerrilleros. Tomando en cuenta todos estos factores, nos aproximaremos a la realidad, de una manera mas completa y alejada del dogmatismo sectario y parcializado, de aquellos recuentos que dependen, solo, de la información gubernamental. Continuar por el camino fácil, viendo los hechos en parte y no en su conjunto, es el equivalente a engañarnos nosotros mismos, y algo mucho peor, ocultarle la verdad a las generaciones venideras.
