Israel Assassinates Palestinian Leaders: A Bankrupt Policy
Invasion and/or Assassination As An Official Policy Will Always Come Back To Bite You.
Ask America
Way back in 1961, the CIA Deputy Director of Plans, Richard Bissell laid plans for an invasion of Cuba in order to unseat Fidel Castro.
The invasion did not spark a popular uprising by the Cuban People and Bissell’s plan to organize the murder of the Cuban Leader failed as well.
The depths to which government officials can sink is illustrated by Bissell’s plan.
He recruited members of U.S. organized crime – specifically Sam Giancanana, among others to poison Fidel, in the hope that Castro’s death would enable the invasion to succeed.
The murder plot failed, but President John F. Kennedy had been “had”
JFK Trapped by the CIA
If Kennedy had cancelled the invasion, there was the real possibility that the CIA force of angry Cuban exiles might take over the government of Guatemala and so the invasion of Cuba went ahead. It failed dismally. It was denounced by Kennedy and forced the resignation of the Director of The CIA, Allen Dulles.
In the end, Castro’s forces captured hundreds of the CIA-sponsored invaders and eventually traded them for 50 million dollars worth of medical and other supplies.
All of this is contained in a recently-released top secret CIA report on the CIA fiasco.
Texas Congressman Dr. Ron Paul
The report contains damning evidence of an American shadow government, which operates in secret, following illegal policies with unlimited funds and – according to American politician Dr. Ron Paul – threatens American democracy. There is now a growing group of Americans who are calling for the dissolution of the CIA itself.
- When a government attempts to make policy by unlawful means, whether by invading another country or murdering political leaders, the door is opened to disaster.
We’ve seen it in Central America, in the Caribbean, in Iran, in Afghanistan, in Iraq and the new revelations about The Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba shows us the roots of this failed approach to foreign policy. Congressman Paul believes that Israel is treading on dangerous ground.
More from Dr. Ron Paul, a U.S. Congressman from Texas in this video.

Hmmm…yes. At the risk of inviting criticism, the word “conspiracy” comes to mind. Certainly, there can be no doubt whatsoever, that the CIA is out of control.

Thanks for the very relevant to the times history lesson. I think this is what you were looking for in the last link http://www.dailypaul.com/node/121958 . Of course Congressman Paul was speaking at a Libertarian gathering where this sort of truth telling is accepted and a few alternative sites picked up on it but you’d never hear about (without mocking and ridicule) on the MSM ( AKA – fawning corporate media). After the Bay of Pigs, Kennedy is, as I’m sure you are aware, reported as saying he wanted to splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter them to the wind. 2 1/2 years later parts of Kennedy were splattered by … the lone nut job.
