Harry J.Dean Posted March 00, 0000 Harry J.Dean Members 000 Share Posted March 00, 0000 Hi, James Along the line of Oswald playing both sides, pro-Castro and anti-Castro I am reminded of the time after being appointed acting secretary of Fair Play for Cuba Committee in Chicago by Communist Party, and 00th Of July Movement leaders this while I was reporting to the local FBI, they then later assigned to me the task of infiltrating the opposition anti-Castro CIA combine in order to discover when the attack/invasion of Cuba that was soon to take place. I was instructed to renounce the Fair Play For Cuba Committee, the 00th Of July Movement and other connections. I was also instructed to enlist with the combine as a volunteer, pilot or other. No 'exact' info. resulted from this effort. A short time later the invasion took place, and I was then distributing pro-Castro anti-invasion 'Hands Of Cuba' leaflets on the streets of Chicago, and continued reporting to the Bureau. (Harry Dean) Interesting, Harry. There seemed to be a fair bit of flipping sides during this period. Did you find that mistrust was the general atmosphere amongst the Cubans? Can you say who in the FBI was running the show in Chicago? Thanks as always. James <{POST_SNAPBACK}> James There were always 'some' viciously pro-Castro persons in the 00 Of July Movement threatening and suspicious of other members who might betray the cause, moreso as the 'expected invasion' of Cuba drew near. Raul Roa had earlier exposed the 'entire' invasion scheme to the United Nations. Re; the FBI, Chicago, I only knew that Director Hoover made the Castro/Fair Play For Cuba Comm. et.al. top concern for the Bureau. I met with agents only at various pre-arranged places or via two way phone calls re; information, never at hdqrts. I would say it was the cointelpro{spelling} program?
