Is this what I supposed to "learn?":
Charles Drago:
"In point of fact, the long-term survival of that [Fidel Castro-controlled Cuban] government was then -- and remains to this day -- a key component in the preservation of hemispheric threat as a justification for military expenditures and a cover for assorted deep political operations."
There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in the historical record to support that statement. I don't think I have heard anyone - leftwing, rightwing, middle wing, deep politics, on the surface politics promote THAT THEORY before. I guess there is a 1 in 1 quadrillion chance it could be accurate.
Both the official US government and the "deep politics" shadow government were doing everything they could to get rid of Castro-controlled Cuba from 1960 onward. VP Richard Nixon and Operation 40 assassins, the CIA Bay of Pigs fiasco, almost the entire US cabinet and military wanted to bomb Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis ... all except JFK - and his non-interventionist Cuba policy was a big reason he got murdered.
After Lyndon Johnson and the CIA murdered JFK, I think they were more concerned with the cover up and saving their skins than an invasion of Cuba. So the anti-Castro Cubans Kennedy haters were the ones that got left holding the bag. But it is not because they liked and wanted to save a Castro-controlled Cuba. The tone of the American people in the JFK assassination aftermath was one of grief, not anger at a supposed Cuban/Russian hit on the US president.
Having said that - the murder of John Kennedy by Lyndon Johnson and his CIA allies and shadow government friends, was the ULTIMATE ploy of Operation Northwoods, which was designed to get us in a war with Cuba. It did not work, but it was not for a lack of trying! The killers of JFK certainly were not working to preserve a Castro-controlled Cuba - quite the opposite!
US policy since then for 47 years has been one of economic sanctions on Cuba, travel bans, against normalization. Preserving a pro-Castro Cuba has NOT been a goal of US policy - official government OR shadow government - at any time. Only NOW, 47 years later, is the prospect of "normalization" becoming any real possibility.
From Defrauding America, Rodney Stich, 3rd edition 1998 p. 638-639]:
“The Role of deep-cover CIA officer, Trenton Parker, has been described in earlier pages, and his function in the CIA's counter-intelligence unit, Pegasus. Parker had stated to me earlier that a CIA faction was responsible for the murder of JFK … During an August 21, 1993, conversation, in response to my questions, Parker said that his Pegasus group had tape recordings of plans to assassinate Kennedy. I asked him, "What group were these tapes identifying?" Parker replied: "Rockefeller, Allen Dulles, JOHNSON of Texas, GEORGE BUSH, and J. Edgar Hoover." I asked, "What was the nature of the conversation on these tapes?"
I don't have the tapes now, because all the tape recordings were turned over to [Congressman] Larry McDonald. But I listened to the tape recordings and there were conversations between Rockefeller, [J. Edgar] Hoover, where [Nelson] Rockefeller asks, "Are we going to have any problems?" And he said, "No, we aren't going to have any problems. I checked with Dulles. If they do their job we'll do our job." There are a whole bunch of tapes, because Hoover didn't realize that his phone has been tapped. Defrauding America, Rodney Stich, p. 638-639]:
