  1. It is true what Raul Castro said about the timing of President Kennedy’s assassination. At that very same time and day of Kennedy’s assassination an emissary, journalist Jean Daniel, secretively sent by Kennedy to Fidel Castro, was communicating Kennedy’s message of opening a dialogue for peace with Cuba and normalizing relations, in a face to face meeting at Veradero, Cuba. It was secret because the CIA and US military command, as well as military industry “cold war” advocates, were determined to defeat communism, even if it meant a nuclear war, which they were convinced the US would prevail because of it’s strategic advantage and they saw any peace dialogue with Castro or Khrushchev as failure and treasonous.
    After the near fatal standoff of the October Missile Crisis with the Soviet Union, over nuclear missiles based in Cuba to prevent a planned US military invasion of the island, Kennedy and Khrushchev saw the madness of the implementation of the nuclear war policy on both sides and began talks also secretively to deescalate the arms race starting with the Atmospheric Test Ban Treaty.
    Why so secret? President Eisenhower in his Jan. 17, 1961 farewell address warned Americans,” In the council of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted.”
    Weeks before Nov. 1963, a team of agents from Miami affiliated with the CIA and the failed Bay of Pigs invasion were organized by CIA deputies to carry out the assassination of President Kennedy. They traveled together from Miami to Dallas with the knowledge that certain precautions were being taken to allow them access to a site for the execution of the plan as well as a assassin decoy and cover that would hide the operation from public, media and government view and direct blame to the Soviet Union and/or Cuba.
    When Fidel, during the meeting and interview with the journalist Jean Daniel, got the call and heard that Kennedy was dead he said, “Everything is changed. Everything is going to change.”
    When Vice President Johnson assumed Presidential duties he put a halt to the behind the scenes overtures from Castro for a peace dialogue. He created a commission to be headed by Allan Dulles, the CIA Director President Kennedy had fired because of Dulles’ actions and deceit regarding the Bay of Pigs Invasion and trying to convince the President to order direct US military involvement in the operation so that it would be successful, to investigate the assassination of the President.

    1. of I do not know whether the allegation of CIA involvement in the assassination of President Kennedy is true. The commentator does cite to a book that, he asserts, supports his allegation, but a rigorous examination of the evidence cited in that book and of the many books about that assassination would have to be conducted in order to validate that allegation.
