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.

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.
