SI CUBA DEPARTMENT OF STATE CUBA DEPARTMENT OF STATE Contents I. The Betrayal of the Cuban Revolution . 2 Establishment of the Communist II.TheBridgehead 11 III. The Delivery of the Revolution to the Sino-Soviet Bloc 19 IV. The Assault on the Hemisphere ... 25 V.Conclusion 33 CUBA The present situation in Cuba confronts the Western Hemisphere and the inter-American sys¬ tem with a grave and urgent challenge. This challenge does not result from the fact chat the Castro government in Cuba was established by revolution. The hemisphere rejoiced at the over¬ throw of the Batista tyranny, looked with sympathy on the new regime, and welcomed its promises of political freedom and social justice for the Cuban people. The challenge results from the fact thar the leaders of the revolutionary regime betrayed their own revolution, delivered that revolution into the hands of powers alien to the hemisphere, and transformed it into an instrument employed with 1 calculated effect to suppress the rekindled hopes of the Cuban people for democracy and to intervene in the internal affairs of other American Republics. What began as a movement to enlarge Cuban democracy and freedom has been perverted, in short, into a mechanism for the destruction of free institutions in Cuba, for the seizure by international communism of a base and bridgehead in the Amer¬ icas, and for the disruption of the inter-American system. It is the considered judgment of the Government of the United States of America that the Castro regime in Cuba offers a clear and present danger to the authentic and autonomous revolution of the Americas—to the whole hope of spreading politi¬ cal liberty, economic development, and social prog¬ ress through all the republics of the hemisphere.

E. Howard Hunt and the JFK Plotters by Eric Hamburg
E. Howard Hunt and the JFK Plotters By Eric Hamburg How much of Howard Hunt’s scenario holds up under examination. Surprisingly, much of it does. The people that he names as part of the plot are, for the most part, people whose names have cropped up over and over again in the assassination literature. There is substantial evidence to implicate them in a plot to kill JFK. For this reason, Hunt’s revelations are more credible than they might otherwise be. A review of the literature indicates why this is so. Let’s start with William Harvey. He was named by Hunt as the mastermind of the plot, as well as being called an “alcoholic psycho” by Hunt.. There is ample evidence for both of these propositions. 1 Consider the following statements regarding William Harvey, made by author Anthony Summers in his seminal work “Conspiracy”. Summers writes, “In the closing stages of the (House) Assassinations Committee mandate, some staff members felt that, while Mafia marksmen may have carried out the assassination, it could only have been orchestrated by someone in America intelligence, someone with special knowledge of Oswald’s background. As they pondered this, investigators gave renewed attention to the senior CIA officer who co-coordinated the CIA-Mafia plots against Castro – William Harvey. Summers goes on to state: “William Harvey died in 1976 … As far back as 1959, he was one of only three officers privy to plans to send false defectors to the Soviet Union. 1959 was the year of Oswald’s suspect defection. Genuine defection or not, Harvey almost certainly knew about it in detail.

Bay of Pigs Invasion
BAY OF PIGS INVASION The Bay of Pigs affair was an unsuccessful invasion of Cuba on April 17, 1961, at Playa Girón (the Bay of Pigs) by about two thousand Cubans who had gone into exile after the 1959 revolution. Encouraged by members of the CIA who trained them, the invaders believed they would have air and naval support from the United States and that the invasion would cause the people of Cuba to rise up and overthrow the regime of communist Fidel Castro. Neither expectation materialized, although unmarked planes from Florida bombed Cuban air bases prior to the invasion. Cuban army troops pinned down the exiles and forced them to surrender within seventy-two hours. At first, the State Department denied any direct links to the exiles. The true American role did not become public until a few days after the invasion. President Kennedy assumed full responsibility for what he admitted was a mistake. Nonetheless, he refused to negotiate a settlement of America's differences with the Castro regime. Before and after the invasion, the United States promoted the expulsion of Cuba from the Organization of American States, attempted an unsuccessful diplomatic quarantine, and stopped all Cuban exports from entering the United States. Economic and diplomatic estrangement remained American policy toward Communist Cuba for the indefinite future. Richard M. Nixon proposed it. Dwight D. Eisenhower planned it. Robert F. Kennedy championed it. John F. Kennedy approved it. The CIA carried it out. 1,197 invaders were captured. 200 of them had been soldiers in Batista's army (14 of those were wanted for murder in Cuba).

On February 6, 196^ in a Press Conference Fidel Castro Made Repeated References to Overflights
On February 6, 196^ in a press conference Fidel Castro made repeated references to overflights. The most significant of his remarks are: "Ever since the October crisis the Cuban Government has maintained that there are several factors which constitute a threat to the peace of the country. One of these factors is the presence of the G-uantanamo Base, (others — ed.) the violations of Cuban airspace by US planes, pirate attacks, and a whole group of facts which are too well-known. All of these problems constitute a source of danger and conflicts, and the Cuban Government wishes to point out that the responsibility for this situation lies entirely with the US Government. "Hie Government of Cuba has repeatedly warned the United States of the consequences which may result from violations of our air- space. It must not be forgotten that this is an arbitrary ac- tion which may create problems and incidents." In a speech on April 19^ 19&U Castro made the following statements with regard to overflights specifically mentioning surface-to-air mis- siles for the first time. "Who is responsible for those aggressive actions, the provocations, and the violations of our airspace? We have not sanctioned them, and we will not legalize them. We will not legalize those viola- tions against our law and our sovereignty. They are provoking us. These things are simply intolerable. We are going to be calm — we are going to be calm. We are going to proceed with two things: not only with intelligence but also with valor. This is the way we should proceed.

Policies of JFK the Bay of Pigs Invasion on April 17, 1961, 1400 Cuban Exiles Launched What Became a Botched Invasion at the Bay of Pigs on the South Coast of Cuba
Policies of JFK The Bay of Pigs Invasion On April 17, 1961, 1400 Cuban exiles launched what became a botched invasion at the Bay of Pigs on the south coast of Cuba. In 1959, Fidel Castro came to power in an armed revolt that overthrew Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. The US government distrusted Castro and was wary of his relationship with Nikita Khrushchev, the leader of the Soviet Union. Before his inauguration JFK was briefed on a plan by the CIA developed during the Eisenhower administration to train Cuban exiles for an invasion on their homeland. The ultimate goal was the overthrow of Castro and the establishment of a non-communist government friendly to the United States. President and Mrs. Kennedy with leaders of the Cuban Invasion Brigade, 29 December 1962 Mrs. Kennedy speaks informally with Brigade leaders Erneido Oliva, Jose Perez San Roman, Manuel Artime, and former Cuban President Jose Miro Cardona after the ceremonies. The Plan The original invasion plan called for two air strikes against Cuban air bases. A 1,400-man invasion force would disembark under cover of darkness and launch a surprise attack. Paratroopers dropped in advance of the invasion would disrupt transportation and repel Cuban forces. Simultaneously, a smaller force would land on the east coast of Cuba to create confusion. The main force would advance across the island to Matanzas and set up a defensive position. The United Revolutionary Front would send leaders from South Florida and establish a provisional government. The success of the plan depended on the Cuban population joining the invaders.
