FINAL WARNING: The Communist Agenda
The invasion failed, because it was not able to launch the attack at the
alternate site which had an airfield nearby and was more suitable for
the unloading of troops and supplies, plus, there were nearby
mountains to hide in. Besides the fact that the U.S. didn’t provide the
needed air support, it wasn’t even a surprise attack, because the New
York Times carried an article on January 10, 1961 with this headline:
“U.S. Helps Train Anti-Castro Force At Secret Guatemalan Air-Ground
Base,” thus, the complete communist domination of Cuba was
insured.
Russia, in May of 1962, realizing the potential of Cuba’s location, tried
to build missile sites on the island, but the U.S., considering them to
be a threat to our national security, threatened Russia with possible
military action if they weren’t removed. After a blockade was imposed,
the missiles were removed; however, the Soviets were still able to
bolster the Cuban military by providing advisors, troops, aircraft,
submarines, and military bases.
There are some researchers who believe that there were never any
missiles on the island. The objects identified as “missiles” in
government photos were no larger than pencil dots, and it was
impossible to concretely label them as ballistic missiles. It is believed
that the incident was created by the Russians, and that empty crates
were removed from Cuba, in exchange for an agreement by the United
States to remove missiles from Russia’s borders, and for a guarantee
that the U.S. would not support an anti-Castro invasion.
According to The Nuclear Deception: Nikita Khrushchev and the
Cuban Missile Crisis (Spook Books, 2002, an imprint of InteliBooks) by
Servando González (who was a political officer in the Cuban Army at
the time), the presence of missiles in Cuba was never proven. The CIA
maintained that there were never nuclear warheads in Cuba, and
American planes flying over “missile sites” and Soviet ships had never
detected any radiation.
In a 1996 article called “Fidel Castro: Supermole,” González said that
Cuba had turned into an economic embarrassment. He wrote: “Cuba,
which was intended to be a showcase of the Soviet model of
development in America, was in fact quickly turning into a showcase
of Soviet inefficiency, mainly due to the Cuban leader’s inability (and
