Haaraahur. Posted September 24, 2005 Fidel Castro once said during an interview: "If surviving assassination were an Olympic attempt, I would win the gold medal," CIA plots to kill Fidel involved: Find a way to either poison his cigars with some strange toxin, or, God forbid, cunningly hide high explosives inside the cigars themselves. BLAM! Just like Elmer Fudd. Or maybe just inject the fruits of the recent *MK-ULTRA project into the cigar - specifically, LSD or BZ. Sneak thallium salts into his clothing, so all of his hair would fall out, depriving him of his virile, muy macho image. The Cubans would surely revolt then! Follow the Trojan Horse method - give Castro a scuba diving suit with tuberculosis-contaminated airtanks. The diplomat that was supposed to hand off the gift refused. Some people never play along. Or, better yet, hide explosives down at Fidel's favorite diving spots! He gets too close to a rigged conch shell, BLAMMO! Simplify, simplify, simplify. A CIA operative testified before the U.S. Congress that he was sent three times to assassinate Castro the old-fashioned way with a prayer to God and a really nice hunting rifle. And, finally, foment revolution by spreading propoganda that Fidel was actually the Antichrist. Giggle while the righteous and upstanding citizenry of Cuba rise up en masse and destroy the Beast. The scuba-diving idea and, of course, the guy with the gun are the only ones believed to have been tried; the rest were ideas that were bandied about seriously enough to leave a paper trail open to anyone with knowledge of the Freedom of Information Act and a few years to blow off to follow. It sounds hard to believe, but all of this is a matter of public record. In 1973, Gottlieb ordered all of the documents related to MK-ULTRA to be shredded. However, he missed a few, and there was still enough left over to cause a small scandal in 1977, when the Senate held a hearing on the project. *A CIA project that was authorized in 1953 to determine the effectiveness of certain psychoactives in mind control and interrogation. The director of the project was Dr. Sidney Gottlieb. Gottlieb was most interested in the drug LSD. He believed that it didn't have as much worth as an interrogation aid as it did in the strategic humiliation of an undesirable. In the first round of tests of the drug, CIA agents would secretly dose each other, then record the effects. Unsatisfied with an unscientific in-house test, MK-ULTRA took their drug to the street in Operation Midnight Climax. Working in co-operation with narcotics officers, they set up a wired bordello filled with drug-addicted prostitutes, and monitored the actions of unwitting Johns who were secretly dosed with Acid. source CIA plots to kill Castro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
