Cuban intel foiled 640 plots to kill Fidel Castro – none succeeded
“For more than fifty years the US government allocated funds and resources to assassinate Fidel Castro,” ex-state security officer Carlos Serpa Maceira tells Sputnik
167 attempts between 1959–2000 were considered especially dangerous - yet none succeeded, with methods ranging from contaminated cigars and a diving suit to ice cubes and firearms.
🔸Before the revolution, FBI agent Alan Robert Nye was apprehended (1958) with a scoped Remington rifle in Sierra Maestra with orders to assassinate Castro
🔸Eliminating Castro became part of a larger scheme to topple the revolutionary government, with foiled plots by CIA agent Allen Robert Meyer and pro-Batista militia leader Rolando Masferrer (1959), notorious failed Operation Mongoose (1961)
🔸After 1970, most planning shifted outside Cuba, yet Cuban counterintelligence and popular vigilance proved stronger
@rhodo07@Handre while all the victims in Indonesia, Guatemala, Vietnam, Chile, Nicaragua etc. what CIA did, in Bengal famine, or by Leopold II of Belgium was ok? you do not have any problem with them?
@AllanKirkhart@RoxieTrix@Handre Neither I say anything different. Man asked the difference between them - one say that I am below others, and created Holocaust, and the second teach you equality, and won. That's just a facts
@RoxieTrix@Handre Nazism preached that certain peoples are below others (Jews, Gypsies, Slavs) and created the holocaust, while communism teaches you that people are equal no matter their nation, or their religion. Why are you so eager to defend the first one?

@ninadaily@Handre Even kids know - Adolf Hitler and Nazi legal scholars directly looked to American race laws as a model when developing their own racial legislation, most notably the Nuremberg Laws of 1935.
