The Bay of Pigs: What in the Hell Happened?

  • In April 1961, under authorization by President John F. Kennedy, Brigade 2506 took part in the infamous Bay of Pigs invasion. Their mission, financed and coordinated by Washington, was to depose dictator Fidel Castro, install a new, Western-friendly regime in Havana, and, ultimately, deal a crushing blow to America’s Cold War adversaries - namely, the Soviet Union, with which Castro was closely aligned ... It did not go as planned.

      Why does the United States fight Communism so much? Why doesn't the US allow other sovereign countries to be Communist? Do you know why Martin Luther was such a feared character for the very powerful Roman Church of the 16th century? How did a single person make the Supreme Papacy tremble? Answer: Cuz the Church knew that he would have millions of followers. Ah! Do you know why a single country caused, and still causes, so much panic for Mighty Capitalism? For the same reason. Russia, in 1920, was the first Communist country on the planet... And, World Capitalism, knew that other countries would follow later. Eventually, Capitalism would be annulled. (If "Communism" were a bad idea, it would not be replicated in any country). .

      Cubans and South Africans fighting was 100% pawns for USA vs Russia.
      There was nothing ideological about it, just like USA currently forcing half a million Ukrainians to die for “America’s” interests and packaged to us as some noble cause. Russians manipulated Cubans but not nearly to the extent that the CIA has manipulated EVERYONE

    “The Economic Blockade that United States imposed on Cuba, and which has been uninterrupted for more than 60 years, is product of the revenge of Dulles brothers against Fidel Castro, as a result of Castro expropriating the United Fruit Company (UFCO), more than 50,000 hectares of cultivation (Sugar Cane). Allen Dulles (CIA Director), and his brother John Foster Dulles (US Secretary of State), were a shareholder in UFCO, and were on the payroll for more than 20 years. Both Bros. demanded payment from Cuban Gov’t for the land expropriated at ridiculously high amount, when United Fruit Co. had obtained these large estates for $7 dollars per hectare and demanded compensation for $4,800 dollars per hectare. Castro was also asked to pay the cost of hotels, houses and casinos owned by the New York Mafia and other figures of high politics in the US. As Cuba does not pay, the Economic Blockade continues. “If we can't assassinate Castro, let's assassinate his economy”. Now, 12 Presidents have passed in the White House, and the Blockade continues. Castro, Dulles Bros., Meyer Lansky, “Lucky” Luciano, Frank Costello, Kennedy, LBJ and all that generation have already died; they are no longer here. And the Economic Blockade continues. Why? Why, if Castro NEVER affected the interests of the US people? Castro affected the interests of the New York Mafia, the UFCO and the interests of the Dulles Brothers. The Castro Gov't affected the interests some companies (6 companies), that conspired to assassinate him, but not affected the USA People. (It would be an example to say that Mexico imposed an Economic Block on the US, cuz the US Gov’t confiscated properties from “El Chapo”, or from the Mexican Drug Trafficking Cartels). Castro never seized property from US citizens. Castro only seized the property of the New York Mafia. So, why? If perhaps the reason for the Blockade was cuz Fidel Castro was an ally of USSR, well, USSR has not existed for more than 30 years either. Then why? What is the reason for continuing with this Economic Blockade against Cuba? The answer to these questions, in any case, would be: "Cuz a dark power within the US wants to impose itself in Cuba, violating its sovereignty, in the same way that it has done and continues to do so throughout the world with the weakest nations". No common citizen of the US has anything against the Cuban people, but a certain sector of the Government's High Politics does…” Now, If you want to know about the atrocities and massacres of the UFCO and the CIA in Chile, Venezuela, Peru, Colombia, Cuba, all the Caribbean and Central America, consult Wikipedia: “Wars of the Banana Republics”. (From Stephen Kinzer book: “The Brothers”). Write the latter that appears in parentheses, and verify this information right here on RUclips. Or, do the same and search for it on Google.

To me JFK was such a big figure and so iconic. I cant help but wish he got his 2nd term and was able to live out afterwards. His assassination in office is such a strange thing to me. We arent even given an explanation for it. Is that not strange to anybody else? Sure weve been told Lee Harvey Oswald killed him but come on really? There is a much greater reason for that we havent been told and theyve held out on telling even a younger generation such as myself. Theres so many truths and lies now.

JFK should not have switched it from Trinidad to the Bay of Pigs. Typical inept leftist American leader. Instead of covertly sending Cuban immigrants to their inexorable demise, JFK should have owned the invasion and fully supported it with American naval and aerial power. He sacrificed the lives of the Cuban exiles who had been trained by Americans and had been prepared for an invasion of Cuba. In the end, JFK was responsible for the failure of the invasion and the deaths of many Cuban men. Keep in mind that it was the CIA that had recruited anti-Castro Cuban exiles in the Miami area.

      Ernie, President Kennedy was a decorated WW2 combat vet who knew what it meant to lead men and the reality of war. What do you know about raids?

    The US Armed Forces (Army, Marines, Navy, and Air Force) should have invaded Cuba in 1961 instead of Cuban exiles.

      Why does the United States fight Communism so much? Why doesn't the US allow other sovereign countries to be Communist? Do you know why Martin Luther was such a feared character for the very powerful Roman Church of the 16th century? How did a single person make the Supreme Papacy tremble? Answer: Cuz the Church knew that he would have millions of followers. Ah! Do you know why a single country caused, and still causes, so much panic for Mighty Capitalism? For the same reason. Russia, in 1920, was the first Communist country on the planet... And, World Capitalism, knew that other countries would follow later. Eventually, Capitalism would be annulled. (If "Communism" were a bad idea, it would not be replicated in any country). .
