Fidel Castro Dead at 90...

[francoHFW]

You are confusing Fidel Castro with the American-backed dictator, Bautista.

I was in the Army and went to Lebanon during the Lebanese Crisis in 1958 for a month. I was on a troop ship anchored off Havana for three days in 1961 at the start of the Cuban Crisis. In Feb '62 I was in the 4th ID and went to Berlin in Feb '62 during the Berlin Crisis. Castro wasn't involved in the Lebanese Crisis but he sure as hell was in the other two. In 1959 Castro won his revolution. I wrote earlier in this thread about how the Americans were involved and how Castro went from becoming a folk hero freedom fighter to becoming one of the most hated murderous dictators in the world. When he died they should have thrown him in a hog pen. There's no confusion about it except Liberals love and worship evil.

There has not been a right-wing murderous dictator in Latin America who was not loved by the United States government.

You're correct. We loved Noriega so much we kept him locked up.

FINALLY, after he acted up. LOL. And only under "RINO" Boooosh. GOP policy has been a disgrace FOREVER.

assets.

1953

Iran – CIA overthrows the democratically elected Mohammed Mossadegh in a military coup, after he threatened to nationalize British oil. The CIA replaces him with a dictator, the Shah of Iran, whose secret police, SAVAK, is as brutal as the Gestapo.

Operation MK-ULTRA — Inspired by North Korea’s brainwashing program, the CIA begins experiments on mind control. The most notorious part of this project involves giving LSD and other drugs to American subjects without their knowledge or against their will, causing several to commit suicide. However, the operation involves far more than this. Funded in part by the Rockefeller and Ford foundations, research includes propaganda, brainwashing, public relations, advertising, hypnosis, and other forms of suggestion.

1954

Guatemala — CIA overthrows the democratically elected Jacob Arbenz in a military coup. Arbenz has threatened to nationalize the Rockefeller-owned United Fruit Company, in which CIA Director Allen Dulles also owns stock. Arbenz is replaced with a series of right-wing dictators whose bloodthirsty policies will kill over 100,000 Guatemalans in the next 40 years.

1954-1958

North Vietnam — CIA officer Edward Lansdale spends four years trying to overthrow the communist government of North Vietnam, using all the usual dirty tricks. The CIA also attempts to legitimize a tyrannical puppet regime in South Vietnam, headed by Ngo Dinh Diem. These efforts fail to win the hearts and minds of the South Vietnamese because the Diem government is opposed to true democracy, land reform and poverty reduction measures. The CIA’s continuing failure results in escalating American intervention, culminating in the Vietnam War.

1956

Hungary — Radio Free Europe incites Hungary to revolt by broadcasting Khruschev’s Secret Speech, in which he denounced Stalin. It also hints that American aid will help the Hungarians fight. This aid fails to materialize as Hungarians launch a doomed armed revolt, which only invites a major Soviet invasion. The conflict kills 7,000 Soviets and 30,000 Hungarians.

1957-1973

Laos — The CIA carries out approximately one coup per year trying to nullify Laos’ democratic elections. The problem is the Pathet Lao, a leftist group with enough popular support to be a member of any coalition government. In the late 50s, the CIA even creates an “Armee Clandestine” of Asian mercenaries to attack the Pathet Lao. After the CIA’s army suffers numerous defeats, the U.S. starts bombing, dropping more bombs on Laos than all the U.S. bombs dropped in World War II. A quarter of all Laotians will eventually become refugees, many living in caves.

1959

Haiti — The U.S. military helps “Papa Doc” Duvalier become dictator of Haiti. He creates his own private police force, the “Tonton Macoutes,” who terrorize the population with machetes. They will kill over 100,000 during the Duvalier family reign. The U.S. does not protest their dismal human rights record.

1961

The Bay of Pigs — The CIA sends 1,500 Cuban exiles to invade Castro’s Cuba. But “Operation Mongoose” fails, due to poor planning, security and backing. The planners had imagined that the invasion will spark a popular uprising against Castro -– which never happens. A promised American air strike also never occurs. This is the CIA’s first public setback, causing President Kennedy to fire CIA Director Allen Dulles.

Dominican Republic — The CIA assassinates Rafael Trujillo, a murderous dictator Washington has supported since 1930. Trujillo’s business interests have grown so large (about 60 percent of the economy) that they have begun competing with American business interests.

Ecuador — The CIA-backed military forces the democratically elected President Jose Velasco to resign. Vice President Carlos Arosemana replaces him; the CIA fills the now vacant vice presidency with its own man.

Congo (Zaire) — The CIA assassinates the democratically elected Patrice Lumumba. However, public support for Lumumba’s politics runs so high that the CIA cannot clearly install his opponents in power. Four years of political turmoil follow.

1963

Dominican Republic — The CIA overthrows the democratically elected Juan Bosch in a military coup. The CIA installs a repressive, right-wing junta.

Ecuador — A CIA-backed military coup overthrows President Arosemana, whose independent (not socialist) policies have become unacceptable to Washington. A military junta assumes command, cancels the 1964 elections, and begins abusing human rights.

1964

Brazil — A CIA-backed military coup overthrows the democratically elected government of Joao Goulart. The junta that replaces it will, in the next two decades, become one of the most bloodthirsty in history. General Castelo Branco will create Latin America’s first death squads, or bands of secret police who hunt down “communists” for torture, interrogation and murder. Often these “communists” are no more than Branco’s political opponents. Later it is revealed that the CIA trains the death squads.

1965

Indonesia — The CIA overthrows the democratically elected Sukarno with a military coup. The CIA has been trying to eliminate Sukarno since 1957, using everything from attempted assassination to sexual intrigue, for nothing more than his declaring neutrality in the Cold War. His successor, General Suharto, will massacre between 500,000 to 1 million civilians accused of being “communist.” The CIA supplies the names of countless suspects.

Dominican Republic — A popular rebellion breaks out, promising to reinstall Juan Bosch as the country’s elected leader. The revolution is crushed when U.S. Marines land to uphold the military regime by force. The CIA directs everything behind the scenes.

Greece — With the CIA’s backing, the king removes George Papandreous as prime minister. Papandreous has failed to vigorously support U.S. interests in Greece.

Congo (Zaire) — A CIA-backed military coup installs Mobutu Sese Seko as dictator. The hated and repressive Mobutu exploits his desperately poor country for billions.

1966

The Ramparts Affair — The radical magazine Ramparts begins a series of unprecedented anti-CIA articles. Among their scoops: the CIA has paid the University of Michigan $25 million dollars to hire “professors” to train South Vietnamese students in covert police methods. MIT and other universities have received similar payments. Ramparts also reveals that the National Students’ Association is a CIA front. Students are sometimes recruited through blackmail and bribery, including draft deferments.

1967

Greece — A CIA-backed military coup overthrows the government two days before the elections. The favorite to win was George Papandreous, the liberal candidate. During the next six years, the “reign of the colonels” — backed by the CIA — will usher in the widespread use of torture and murder against political opponents. When a Greek ambassador objects to President Johnson about U.S. plans for Cyprus, Johnson tells him: “Fuck your parliament and your constitution.”

Operation PHEONIX — The CIA helps South Vietnamese agents identify and then murder alleged Viet Cong leaders operating in South Vietnamese villages. According to a 1971 congressional report, this operation killed about 20,000 “Viet Cong.”

1968

Operation CHAOS — The CIA has been illegally spying on American citizens since 1959, but with Operation CHAOS, President Johnson dramatically boosts the effort. CIA agents go undercover as student radicals to spy on and disrupt campus organizations protesting the Vietnam War. They are searching for Russian instigators, which they never find. CHAOS will eventually spy on 7,000 individuals and 1,000 organizations.

Bolivia — A CIA-organized military operation captures legendary guerilla Che Guevara. The CIA wants to keep him alive for interrogation, but the Bolivian government executes him to prevent worldwide calls for clemency.

1969

Uruguay — The notorious CIA torturer Dan Mitrione arrives in Uruguay, a country torn with political strife. Whereas right-wing forces previously used torture only as a last resort, Mitrione convinces them to use it as a routine, widespread practice. “The precise pain, in the precise place, in the precise amount, for the desired effect,” is his motto. The torture techniques he teaches to the death squads rival the Nazis’. He eventually becomes so feared that revolutionaries will kidnap and murder him a year later.

1970

Cambodia — The CIA overthrows Prince Sahounek, who is highly popular among Cambodians for keeping them out of the Vietnam War. He is replaced by CIA puppet Lon Nol, who immediately throws Cambodian troops into battle. This unpopular move strengthens once minor opposition parties like the Khmer Rouge, which achieves power in 1975 and massacres millions of its own people.

1971

Bolivia — After half a decade of CIA-inspired political turmoil, a CIA-backed military coup overthrows the leftist President Juan Torres. In the next two years, dictator Hugo Banzer will have over 2,000 political opponents arrested without trial, then tortured, raped and executed.

Haiti — “Papa Doc” Duvalier dies, leaving his 19-year old son “Baby Doc” Duvalier the dictator of Haiti. His son continues his bloody reign with full knowledge of the CIA.

1972

The Case-Zablocki Act — Congress passes an act requiring congressional review of executive agreements. In theory, this should make CIA operations more accountable. In fact, it is only marginally effective.

Cambodia — Congress votes to cut off CIA funds for its secret war in Cambodia.

Wagergate Break-in — President Nixon sends in a team of burglars to wiretap Democratic offices at Watergate. The team members have extensive CIA histories, including James McCord, E. Howard Hunt and five of the Cuban burglars. They work for the Committee to Reelect the President (CREEP), which does dirty work like disrupting Democratic campaigns and laundering Nixon’s illegal campaign contributions. CREEP’s activities are funded and organized by another CIA front, the Mullen Company.

1973

Chile — The CIA overthrows and assassinates Salvador Allende, Latin America’s first democratically elected socialist leader. The problems begin when Allende nationalizes American-owned firms in Chile. ITT offers the CIA $1 million for a coup (reportedly refused). The CIA replaces Allende with General Augusto Pinochet, who will torture and murder thousands of his own countrymen in a crackdown on labor leaders and the political left.

CIA begins internal investigations — William Colby, the Deputy Director for Operations, orders all CIA personnel to report any and all illegal activities they know about. This information is later reported to Congress.

Watergate Scandal — The CIA’s main collaborating newspaper in America, The Washington Post, reports Nixon’s crimes long before any other newspaper takes up the subject. The two reporters, Woodward and Bernstein, make almost no mention of the CIA’s many fingerprints all over the scandal. It is later revealed that Woodward was a Naval intelligence briefer to the White House, and knows many important intelligence figures, including General Alexander Haig. His main source, “Deep Throat,” is probably one of those.

No, it is I that called you out. You just choose to ignore it, and pretend it was you, hoping others will be fooled. I have posted links which you ignore, and still blabber.
And I should have added one other thing to my last post to you, you are a commie that professes to know it is best, yet have never lived as a 'true peasant' under a true commie system yourself.

Bullshit. You haven't researched anything. You are a commie troll.

But his revolution had started. Maybe you should research multiple sources rather than believe simply what ,you are fed.

What are you talking about. Please provide evidence of this and Castro was not in power in 1958.

You made a claim, back it up. I have researched Cuba/US relations more than anyone on this forum.

Let see. I called you out on your made up lie and now you call me names. You must be a professional debater.

You posted zero links about this kidnapping. I called you out on it. Maybe Joe Beserker can find evidence for this since he gave you a gold medal. With all the things to criticize Castro about one should not have to lie.

Oh, goody goody! Then Fidel didn't confiscate any American property, holdings and bank accounts? That's good news. Even the Mafia will be relieved to know that.

BS, dupes. We've supported many worse dictators. He wasn't a terrorist, he was a revolutionary, and actually killed relatively few. We forced him into the arms of the USSR. GD Cold War stupidity.

Castro was a murderous animal who killed thousands of his own people. ...

You're correct. We loved Noriega so much we kept him locked up.

Your comment was so witty that it gained three well-deserved Likes. Notwithstanding your implied denial that Manuel Noriega was loved by the Americans like so many dictators in Latin America, you might consider it no record of jocularity to know the following facts:
Noriega was recruited as a CIA informant while studying at a military academy in Peru. He received intelligence and counterintelligence training at the School of the Americasat Fort Gulick, Panama, in 1967, as well as a course in psychological operations at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He was to remain on the CIA payroll until February 1988.
Fort Bragg - Wikipedia
Noriega made himself valuable to the US during the Contra wars when he allowed the US to set up listening posts in Panama and by helping the US campaign against the leftist Sandinista regime in Nicaragua. Noriega allowed Panama to be used as a conduit for US money and weapons for the Contras as then US president Ronald Reagan sought to undermine the Sandinistas."Upon taking power, he allowed the U.S. to set up listening posts in Panama and is believed to have served as a conduit for U.S. funds to Nicaraguan contra rebels fighting the leftist Sandinista government. The U.S. looked the other way as Noriega established what would be described as a "narco-kleptocracy,"

Oh, goody goody! Then Fidel didn't confiscate any American property, holdings and bank accounts? That's good news. Even the Mafia will be relieved to know that.

When Castro nationalized the country he offered compensation to all land and company owners. The compensation was based on the current tax rates. Since the US was getting a sweet deal on their taxes because their puppet Batista was in power they were not offered as much as other land owners and companies. The US even contacted people from other countries and told them to refuse any offer. The owners from other countries took their compensation while the Americans held out. The largest company in Cuba was the United Fruit Company owned by John Dulles. His brother Allen was the head of the CIA and he also sat on the board of the United Fruit Company. Now put the pieces together and you'll see why Castro has been regarded with such animosity. Please read all the links I provided. If you are interested in finding the truth.

Any explanation that any dissidents had their wealth and property stripped from them before they were jailed or executed.
About your links, I've known quite a few Cubans who escaped Cuba and I believe their accounts before I believe any party propaganda. I also would remind you of the accounts by the parents of Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.

You do not truly expect to get an objective opinion from a Cuban living in Florida now, would you?

I see what you just did there. It's called moving the goalposts. It's a logical fallacy. You first brought up Fidel confiscating "American property, holdings and bank accounts" I gave you a short answer to that and then you brought up dissidents and Cubans who escaped Cuba. You are now talking about a different group of people. I know for a fact that the first wave of Cubans to arrive in Florida were the bloodsucking supporters of Batista. Did you know your government actually paid money to Cubans that criticized Castro.

I remember quite a few years back there was a woman who told of the horrors of Castro killing her kind old grandfather. She said he was a sweet dear person who would never hurt anyone. When I researched this story I found out Castro killed him years before she was even born. I also found out that this sweet dear Grandfather of hers was a henchman for Batista who had personally executed many Cubans. I also found out that she was given a brand new home and lots of cash for telling her sob story. So as far as stories from Cuban dissidents, I take them with a grain of salt. I'm sure some are true but I know many are BS.

What is more ridiculous and how everyone on the right believes what is said about Castro. It is common knowledge America initialized a psywar on Cuba by way of blatant propaganda. The documents became declassified years ago. Yet they still go on believing everything that is spoon fed to them.
Psywar on Cuba

Oh, goody goody! Then Fidel didn't confiscate any American property, holdings and bank accounts? That's good news. Even the Mafia will be relieved to know that.

When Castro nationalized the country he offered compensation to all land and company owners. The compensation was based on the current tax rates. Since the US was getting a sweet deal on their taxes because their puppet Batista was in power they were not offered as much as other land owners and companies. The US even contacted people from other countries and told them to refuse any offer. The owners from other countries took their compensation while the Americans held out. The largest company in Cuba was the United Fruit Company owned by John Dulles. His brother Allen was the head of the CIA and he also sat on the board of the United Fruit Company. Now put the pieces together and you'll see why Castro has been regarded with such animosity. Please read all the links I provided. If you are interested in finding the truth.

Any explanation that any dissidents had their wealth and property stripped from them before they were jailed or executed.
About your links, I've known quite a few Cubans who escaped Cuba and I believe their accounts before I believe any party propaganda. I also would remind you of the accounts by the parents of Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.

Party propaganda? My links are sourced from actual declassified documents. The documents are in large part of the propaganda and Psywar implemented by the US against Cuba. You are kind of missing the whole point.

Yep, that has been my point. Too many have left and told their stories.

You do not truly expect to get an objective opinion from a Cuban living in Florida now, would you?

And I don't expect to get an objective opinion from the left wingnuts, the guy was brutal to many rammed boats of Cubans trying to leave his country, imprisoned those that disagreed with him, fed his people and the world propaganda to support his regime. Killed thousands of Cubans.

You go ahead and love the guy, I don't.
