[…] the money. In the original Gordievsky article the Sunday Times used part of a front page of Tribune in 1961, the bit showing the headline ‘Hands Off Cuba’, to illustrate the Soviet influence on the paper (via money allegedly given to Michael Foot). Ross recounted how that Cuba story – his story – had […]
[…] there has been a bloody war being fought clandestinely and more openly in the form of propaganda pumped from the USA seeking to undermine the government of Cuba. Bacardi have been at the forefront of these attempts, being linked to convicted terrorists and mainstream think tanks and educational foundations – all the while trying […]
[…] do so. There is a very telling anecdote at the beginning of chapter 9. Blum rings up ‘the terrorism desk’ at the State Department and asks why Cuba has been included in a list of nations which ‘sponsor terrorism’. When told that Cuba ‘harbors terrorists’ he points out to the flak-catcher on the other […]
[…] immediately to what are supposed to be Soviet intelligence files on the JFK hit. This is what I found. On November 25 1963, the Mexican ambassador to Cuba reported to his embassy’s political section that an ‘extensive conspiracy’ had been behind the assassination. This report likely came from Cuban intelligence. The leader of the […]
[…] Crisis. Douglass goes from there into great detail, not only on negotiations with the Russians, and the test-ban treaty, or on opening a back-channel of communication with Cuba, but also lesser-known steps toward peace in Africa and Southeast Asia, most notably the negotiated settlement with the Pathet Lao. Douglass spends a great deal of […]
[…] prominent in the China Lobby, six were members of Liebman’s support group for Moise Tshombe (American Committee to Aid Katanga Freedom Fighters) in 1961, members of Liebman’s Cuba lobby (Committee for the Monroe Doctrine) in 1963, and five were on the National Board of the Buckley – Liebman Young Americans for Freedom in 1963. […]
[…] to launder the White House Watergate defence money; and whose close friend, Bebe Rebozo, was directly involved with Cuban exiles prominent in both the efforts to reoccupy Cuba and the international narcotics traffic. All through 1976 the FBI and Miami police moved increasingly to crack down on right-wing Cuban terrorism in Miami and elsewhere, […]
[…] Unclassified is back on form. Some interesting material in the Fall 97 issue, including an account of what looks like continuing U.S. covert ops (chemical warfare) against Cuba; an account of working with Coalition Missing, the group trying to bring to light the truth about Guatemalan death squads; a brief memoir from Ralph McGehee […]
[…] round the broken down old movie actor in Washington. There it was, in the middle of Washington, full of lefties, talking openly with Soviet embassy personnel, supporting Cuba and the Sandinistas, quite unimpressed by the anti-Soviet propaganda offensive of the late 1970s and 80s. The Crozier research team showed, without great difficulty, that the […]
[…] Carlos Salinas de Gortari has been treated by the American and European press as a homeless, tragi-comic figure, sending mad faxes and popping up in Canada and Cuba. He is, in fact, one of the richest men in the world. His brother Raul sits in jail in Mexico, as yet untried. His second choice, […]
