The U.S. ‘Bullied’ Castro? Not Even Close
Smith’s replacement — Phil Bonsal, a liberal career diplomat — fully backed and quickly adopted the official “carrot and even bigger carrot” policy towards Castro. The policy soon showered the new Cuban regime with $200 million in subsidies from U.S. taxpayers.
Castro was quick to respond:
“The U.S. is a vulture preying on humanity!” he raved just a week after Smith’s sacking. “Let the Marines invade! Then we’ll pile up 200,000 dead gringos!”

As mentioned, the only “U.S. invasion” then envisaged was one of smiling, groveling Yankee diplomats and Yankee taxpayer subsidies.
Alert Cubans started plotting against Castro almost from day one, but — alert to who helped him into power — they kept well clear of U.S. officials, turning instead to Rafael Trujillo in the Dominican Republic for some logistical assistance. Nonetheless, in August 1959, Phil Bonsal got wind of this plot and promptly alerted Castro to a conspiracy against his regime manned solely by Cubans. Thanks in part to Bonsal’s solicitude for the regime insulting his nation as “a vulture preying on humanity” and poised to steal $2 billion from U.S. stockholders, the anti-Castro plot was foiled.
Hundreds of the Cuban plotters were imprisoned.
Some were executed.
And the regime that three years later came close to vaporizing many of America’s largest cities with nuclear missiles (including Bonsal’s home) survived.
Then, as now, the word gringo was very rarely used by Cubans. So in his “vulture” tirade, Castro was already mugging to the Latin American gallery. Castro’s very first trip abroad as head of state was to Caracas, where on January 25, 1959 he, implored Venezuelan President Romulo Betancourt to “join” his “master plan against the gringos.” The newly elected Venezuelan president soon learned that his “joining” would consist of massive loans, financial aid, and shipments of free oil to Castro from Venezuela. So Betancourt decided to “think it over.”
It took Hugo Chavez for Venezuela to finally “join” Castro’s master plan. In mid-2005, 160,000 barrels of essentially free oil were flowing from Venezuela to Cuba daily, a flow that continues unabated despite Venezuela’s pathetic economy. Chavez’s honorarium comes in the form of the thousands of Cuban security specialists who staff his bodyguard ranks and basically run Venezuela’s Ministry of the Interior.
Not a bad bargain, actually. Trained and mentored for decades by the KGB and East German Stasi, Castro’s secret police is considered among the most “proficient” on Earth, as befits a regime that jailed political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin’s and executed (murdered, actually; the former term implies some form of judicial process) more people in its first three years in power than Hitler’s did in its first six.
Within weeks of his “dead gringos!” tirade and his Venezuelan visit, Castro’s regime had stolen the Cuban Telephone Company (an ITT subsidiary), commencing a mass larceny of U.S. property at Soviet gunpoint that would reach almost $2 billion in little over a year — and included the torture and firing squad murder of several U.S. citizens who resisted.
The Castro regime has never settled a penny of this mass burglary with its U.S. victims. Search for any mention of the above in an MSM article on the so-called U.S. embargo of Cuba (in fact, we’ve been Cuba’s main food supplier and fifth largest trading partner for close to a decade now) and you will draw a complete blank.
“But that’s hoary Cold War stuff, Humberto,” some will counter. But the same people run Cuba today as ran it in 1959.
This is very interesting but I’d like to learn more. Who was behind this and why? Eisenhower? Dulles? What did they imagine they were accomplishing?
Humberto …where have you been hiding? Have you ever read Spy Catcher? and the authors take on the missile crisis?
I agree with you there will be no change in Cuba (no good change) and Fidel’s quote ….Castro was quick to respond:
“The U.S. is a vulture preying on humanity!” now the president of the USA has a similar take on America.
regards, I always look forward to reading your posts.
There are good Cubans and bad Cubans. Both in Cuba and in the USA. The good ones are normal people, but the bad ones can be the scourge of the Earth. The bad ones can be right-wingers or left wingers. As usual, the bad ones are a minority, but they push their agendas pretty hard. The trick is to identify the good ones and deal only with them.
Thanks Mr. Fontova,
I appreciate your work. I always like to know the truth. Your piece makes sense to me with the “historical timeline” of events and how they were documented.
I have been trying to get a close friend (she is first gen. latina) who idolizes che and has one of his pictures on her fridge to seek some of the real truth and not the chomsky/msm version.
Please keep these works of yours coming.
The Cuban people have been hoodwinked, just like the American people, regarding how the Jesuit Order pulls the strings of all the major leaders of the world in order to foment wars and revolutions in their quest for a one world government and one world religion under a Luciferian, pantheist doctrine.
Fidel Castro was trained by Jesuits for seven years. His Jesuit advisor and right hand was Jesuit Father Armando Llorente. Castro was groomed in New York City as I have a picture of him in Central Park before the revolution in a nice, three-piece suit. And why was he in New York City? He was there to take his orders in person from the Archbishop of New York, Francis Cardinal Spellman, later the mastermind behind the JFK assassination.
At this time in 1959 just prior to Castro being given Cuba, it had been decided that Cuba must be isolated from the American Empire, the Empire under the command of the Archbishop of New York and directed by the Jesuits at Fordham and Georgetown Universities. (Jesuit Georgetown University is the capital bringing its national and foreign policies into the White House West Wing. The Capitol buliding is not the capital.) Cuba was and is intended to be a staging base for the coming Sino-Soviet-Moslem invasion of America. To make this possible, the pope’s international press must be given a reason to be shut out of Cuba via the justification of “communism.” Remember, communism was perfected by the Jesuits from 1609-1759 on their 59 communist reductions in Paraguay. Therefore, the Black Pope Pedro Arrupe gave the order to foment the Cuban revolution in 1959 using his CFR-controlled Press to paint Batista as a horrible, brutal tyrant thus enabling certain press lords like Ed Sullivan, a New York Roman Catholic Knight of Columbus, to back Castro. CIA director Allen Dulles, a Knight of Malta and Nazi-protector, backed Castro calling him “the Abraham Lincoln of Cuba” creating more sympathy in the hearts of the deceived and ignorant American people for “the liberator, Fidel Castro.” The CIA gave Castro guns and millions of dollars during and after the revolution knowing full well that he was a tool of the Jesuits—the very Jesuits who ruled the CIA via Knight of Malta Allen Dulles and later Knight of Malta John McCone who oversaw JFK’s assassination in 1963. The revolution would never have succeeded had not the Jesuit-ruled CFR-controlled US government backed Castro in every way possible—just as it had backed Jesuit-trained Joseph Stalin during Lend-Lease and after the world war giving the Soviets all of America’s high technology, be it aircraft or naval or electronic, while also giving the KGB supremacy over the CIA.
During the revolution, Castro’s headquarters was Havana’s Hilton Hotel, remembering that Knight of Malta Barron Hilton owned that hotel. Pope Paul VI, with his Black Pope Pedro Arrupe, was the power behind Castro for which reason we understand why Castro was openly backed by the CIA and openly opposed by the KGB before the revolution. (The USSR had been controlled by the Black Pope since the success of the Bolshevik Revolution in 1920, aided by President Warren Harding for the tune of $60 million worth of food and other supplies. Rome pretended to oppose Soviet Communism so as to deceive the anti-communist West while the intelligence agencies “on both sides” secretly worked together.) After the revolution, the KGB openly backed Castro while the CIA secretly backed him, yet both the CIA and KGB worked together during the entire Cold War, another hoax put upon the peoples of the West. To FURTHER ENTRENCH CASTRO IN POWER BY ELIMINATING TRUE CUBAN NATIONALISTIC PATRIOTS, the Bay of Pigs invasion was planned for 1961. President Eisenhower, Cardinal Spellman’s Knight of Malta and Crusader during WWII, had planned the FAILURE OF THE INVASION with his brother Knight of Malta Allen Dulles of the CIA.
At the time the invasion was to begin, President Kennedy gave his consent and permission for the operation to proceed the day before the attack. JFK was fully behind the plan to eliminate Jesuit and Freemason Fidel Castro because JFK refused to take his orders from the pope of Rome as he had declared at a meeting of Protestant and Baptist ministers in Houston, Texas, late in 1960. Thus, JFK did not cancel the air support. According to Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty in his book JFK, it was Skull and Bonesman McGeorge Bundy, JFK’s National Security Advisor, who canceled that air cover. Bundy even admitted it seventeen years later, as Prouty proves in his book. Kennedy was furious! He fired CIA Director Allen Dulles and CIA Deputy Director Charles Cabell as well as CIA Director for Plans Richard Bissell. JFK made plans for another invasion of Cuba: the date; December 1, 1963. This fact can be verified in the book Ultimate Sacrifice authored by Lamar Waldron and Thom Hartman. To prevent that invasion, he was killed nine days before on November 22, 1963.
The assassination of Kennedy sealed Cuba’s fate. No longer would the pope’s CIA pretend to attempt to overthrow Castro. With his most dangerous enemies eliminated thanks to Bonesman Bundy and the KOMs Dulles’/McCone’s CIA, Castro could now proceed to kill every Cuban patriot and reduce that once prosperous and beautiful island to poverty, crime and tyranny. The CFR-controlled US government even gave Castro $60 million in food and medical supplies “in exchange” for Cubans captured and tortured after the failed invasion. This blessing to Castro further removed his enemies from Cuba while he received aid to benefit his Jesuit-ruled government. During the Cold War, Castro would secretly work with the CIA via Cuba’s DGI, both agencies being arms of Rome’s secret “Holy Office of the Inquisition.” All the military supplies necessary for arming arriving Chinese and Moslem invaders from Africa would be stored awaiting the day of invasion. Arms would secretly be brought into Guantanamo Naval Base for years by the US Navy under the protection of the CIA/NSA. Ultimately Gitmo, with its precious deep water port, would be given back to Cuba—which event is now in the making. Further, there is an underground tunnel from Cuba to Miami with a mag-lev, high-speed train that will be used to transport invading, front line troops into Florida to kill the second largest Jewish population in North America resident on “the Gold Coast.” Meanwhile, China’s huge shipping company, COSCO, will deploy its ships to transport Moslem and Chinese invaders into Miami for its invasion of the once White Protestant and Baptist Old South. The Russian Navy will escort the invasion from Venezuela now being put in place.
This is why Jesuit Castro was put in power. This is why thousands of your people risked shark-infested waters to escape Castro. This is why thousands of Cuban nationalists were tortured and murdered in Inquisitor Castro’s underground prisons. This is why Cuba will never be free. And JFK tried to stop this plan of the Black Pope for which he was adjudged “a tyrant and a usurper” and “extirpated” according to Jesuit-directed Canon Law. He was murdered by the CIA, the Secret Service, the Mafia, the FBI along with Army and Naval Intelligence—all working together.
Is the poster above Kochevnik, serious or joking … that’s the craziest crap I’ve ever heard? Even crazier than Humberto’s post.
Comrade Kochevnik may sound crazy but read the book by Comrade J….he was the highest ranked KGB to defect…open your eyes to the reality with the Venona files and blacklisted by history…searc the above.
looks like some idiot connected all the dots and came up with gibberish.
…sometimes the dots aren’t connected.
Cuba during the Fulgencio Batista era was corrupt and he needed to be squeezed out of power. Still, the country’s economy was consistently growing as well as its middle class. Cuba required a political evolution—but not a revolution. The peasant class had next to nothing to do with the overthrow of Batista’s government. Nope, that honor mostly belonged to the spoiled brats of affluent parents comparable to our own Jane Fonda and Bill Ayers. The irony is that these useful idiots were among the first to be pushed to the side by Castro once he gained power.
The CIA has been a left-wing organization since its very beginnings. Its spies and officials were normally recruited from the Ivy Leagues. These “elites” were inclined to fall for any lying tyrant espousing utopian doctrines. They desperately wanted to believe! The warning signs regarding Castro were fairly clear and unambiguous for those not desiring to be deluded. In this respect, Castro had much in common with Obama.

You forget that George Bush and Elvis Presley, under the direction of the Duke of Edinburgh, went back in time (using the Roswell time machine found in the wreckage of the flying saucer in Area 51) and then, using certain information that in his second term there would be an annihilating nuclear war, persuaded JFK to assassinate JFK. Yes, a time-traveling JFK was on the grassy knoll, and he and Elvis were in the car which forced the Princess of Wales’ car to crash. It is the Duke of Edinburgh, with the assistance of other Illuminati (such as George Bush I and II, Osama bin Laden, Barack Obama, Rupert Murdoch, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Vladimir Putin and Britney Spears), who are attempting to establish the new world order. The alarmist lies about alleged anthropogenic global warming, the recent supposed financial crisis, the pervasiveness of hip-hop, the subversion of free media and the desuetude of the comparative adverb can all rightly be blamed on this cabal of Rosicrucian Templars.
Oops. That should be “… who is attempting to establish the new world order.”
Some people are crazier than others . . .
Corrupt as compared to what, Italy that was run by the Christian Democrats in league with the mob. Or France with the Corsican gangsters, or the rest of Latin America, or Cook County or “Landslide Lyndon’s” West TExas of ’48.
Now Deadman’s riff on our Russian friends, sounds eerily like Milhous on the
Simpson’s explaining a local event, referring to the moleman and the reverse
vampires
#8 JOHN,or is it IVAN? What’s wrong ,dear,is Fontova complicating your stalinist picture of an evil, all powerful US,bullying a helpless small nation,defended by a heroic socialist? How about you get a doctor to connect YOUR dots,and conclude that you nedd a course of penicillin to cure your Syphillis? It seems to have grown tertiary.

Remember by April 1962 Dulles was dying of cancer … and Wieland was running much of the show at foggybottom

“I spent thirty-three years and four months in active service in the country’s most agile military force, the Marines. I served in all ranks from second lieutenant to major general. And during that period I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. Thus I helped make Mexico, and especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenue in. I helped in the raping of half-a-dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers and Co. in 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras ‘right’ for American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.”
