However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Slate: What was your feeling about Batista?
Hunt: Well, I thought he ran a good government there. There was a lot of corruption, but there's always been corruption in Latin America. We can't be too purist about these things.
Slate: Let's talk about the finals days and execution of Che. Do you know what the real story was there?
Hunt: I do. El Che was becoming a popular threat to Castro. Castro was a gradualist; his view was that great changes couldn't take place immediately. But El Che had a different idea—he had wanted the entire continent of Latin America to become Communist. And Castro, sort of to get rid of him, said, "Take a band down to Bolivia. Here's money, and radio phones, and all that." So Che went down there. But Che's very first [radio] transmissions were picked up by our people at the National Security Agency. The agency was able to track him wherever he went with his little forlorn band. The Bolivians wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, and our people kept the Bolivian army informed as to where he was.

Slate: I know there is a conspiracy theory saying that David Atlee Phillips—the Miami CIA station chief—was involved with the assassination of JFK.
Hunt: [Visibly uncomfortable] I have no comment.
Slate: I know you hired him early on, to work with you in Mexico, to help with Guatemala propaganda.
Hunt: He was one of the best briefers I ever saw.
Slate: And there were even conspiracy theories about you being in Dallas the day JFK was killed.
Hunt: No comment.
Laura Hunt: Howard says he wasn't, and I believe him.
Slate: Any regrets?
Hunt: No, none. [Long pause] Well, it would have been nice to do Bay of Pigs differently.

Are you going to remove the troll and totally irrelevant cut and paste about one of the Watergate burglars?
It is clearly only there to distract from a genuine news report on an extremely courageous protest by Cuban women against the brutal Castro disctatorship.
first, note that this is in the 'other press' section - not the general newswire. also note that i posted both of the above 'cut and pastes' So I suppose I am trolling myself?
i believe that it is relevant. for me, ive always been fascinated with the cuban revolution - certainly cuba is better off today than under batista and US proxy rule. but my libertarian tendencies still have, shall we say, 'serious issues' with the Castro disctatorship.
Ché exemplifies the spirit of rebellion and social change the world over. But Ché is also a bit troublesome of a figure - and not just from a 'pacifist' perspective either.
The cuban revolution also inspired a backlash in the US that got a President killed and further inspired US repression and intervention that continues to this day.
I didn't even know that E Howard was still alive, til today. Hunt's persective is still alive today with the neocons in the White House. But i also think that Ché would today probably side with the cuban disidents mentioned above and that Hunt couldn't care at all about these people's struggle.
