Da dreht ein scheinbar durchgeknallter Filmemacher eine
"Enthüllungsdokumentation", die praktisch auf keinen harten Fakten
beruht, und schon sehen sich rechtskonservative Foren-Störenfriede
wie Plegger und andere hier im Aufwind.
Vermutlich müssen sich diese auch melden, weil sonst die Gefahr
bestünde, dass jemand hier im Forum daran erinnert, von wem konstant
seit des Sturzes des brutalen, (selbstredend US-gestützten)
Mörderregimes Batistas die Aggression im Verhältnis zwischen Kuba und
den USA ausging: Von *jeder* US-Regierung, egal ob Kennedy, Johnson,
Nixon oder-wer-auch-immer an der Spitze der USA stand.
Kuba ist ein gutes Fallbeispiel, um aufzuzeigen, welche Nation seit
dem Zeiten Weltkrieg die krassesten Fälle von militärischen
Aggressionen gegen andere Staaten und Staatsterrorismus verübt hat:
Die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Nicht ihre Bevölkerung, sondern
ihre jeweiligen Führungen.
Hier sind ein paar Fakten über das Verhältnis der USA zu Kuba ...

"The Batista dictatorship was overthrown in January 1959 by Castro's
guerrilla forces. In March, the National Security Council (NSC)
considered means to institute regime change. In May, the CIA began to
arm guerrillas inside Cuba. "During the Winter of 1959-1960, there
was a significant increase in CIA-supervised bombing and incendiary
raids piloted by exiled Cubans" based in the US. We need not tarry on
what the US or its clients would do under such circumstances. Cuba,
however, did not respond with violent actions within the United
States for revenge or deterrence. Rather, it followed the procedure
required by international law. In July 1960, Cuba called on the UN
for help, providing the Security Council with records of some twenty
bombings, including names of pilots, plane registration numbers,
unexploded bombs, and other specific details, alleging considerable
damage and casualties and calling for resolution of the conflict
through diplomatic channels. US Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge
responded by giving his "assurance [that] the United States has no
aggressive purpose against Cuba." Four months before, in March 1960,
his government had made a formal decision in secret to overthrow the
Castro government, and preparations for the Bay of Pigs invasion were
well advanced (...)
Kennedy implemented a crushing embargo that could scarcely be endured
by a small country that had become a "virtual colony" of the US in
the sixty years following its "liberation" from Spain. He also
ordered an intensification of the terrorist campaign: "He asked his
brother, Attorney-General Robert Kennedy, to lead the top-level
interagency group that oversaw Operation Mongoose, a program of
paramilitary operations, economic warfare, and sabotage he launched
in late 1961 to visit the 'terrors of the earth' on Fidel Castro and,
more prosaically, to topple him."
The terrorist campaign was "no laughing matter," Jorge Dominguez
writes in a review of recently declassified materials on operations
under Kennedy, materials that are "heavily sanitized" and "only the
tip of the iceberg," Piero Gleijeses adds (...)
In February 1962, the Joint Chiefs of Staff approved a plan more
extreme than Schlesinger's: to use "covert means . . . to lure or
provoke Castro, or an uncontrollable subordinate, into an overt
hostile reaction against the United States; a reaction which would in
turn create the justification for the US to not only retaliate but
destroy Castro with speed, force and determination." In March, at the
request of the DOD Cuba Project, the Joint Chiefs of Staff submitted
a memorandum to Defense Secretary Robert McNamara outlining "pretexts
which they would consider would provide justification for US military
intervention in Cuba." The plan would be undertaken if "a credible
internal revolt is impossible of attainment during the next 9-10
months," but before Cuba could establish relations with Russia that
might "directly involve the Soviet Union."
A prudent resort to terror should avoid risk to the perpetrator.
The March plan was to construct "seemingly unrelated events to
camouflage the ultimate objective and create the necessary impression
of Cuban rashness and responsibility on a large scale, directed at
other countries as well as the United States," placing the US "in the
apparent position of suffering defensible grievances [and developing]
an international image of Cuban threat to peace in the Western
Hemisphere." Proposed measures included blowing up a US ship in
Guantanamo Bay to create "a 'Remember the Maine' incident,"
publishing casualty lists in US newspapers to "cause a helpful wave
of national indignation," portraying Cuban investigations as "fairly
compelling evidence that the ship was taken under attack," developing
a "Communist Cuban terror campaign [in Florida] and even in
Washington (...)"
On August 23 the president issued National Security Memorandum No.
181, "a directive to engineer an internal revolt that would be
followed by U.S. military intervention," involving "significant U.S.
military plans, maneuvers, and movement of forces and equipment" that
were surely known to Cuba and Russia. Also in August, terrorist
attacks were intensified, including speedboat strafing attacks on a
Cuban seaside hotel "where Soviet military technicians were known to
congregate, killing a score of Russians and Cubans"; attacks on
British and Cuban cargo ships; the contamination of sugar shipments;
and other atrocities and sabotage, mostly carried out by Cuban exile
organizations permitted to operate freely in Florida (...)
Terrorist operations continued through the tensest moments of the
missile crisis. They were formally canceled on October 30, several
days after the Kennedy and Khrushchev agreement, but went on
nonetheless. On November 8, "a Cuban covert action sabotage team
dispatched from the United States successfully blew up a Cuban
industrial facility," killing 400 workers, according to the Cuban
government (...)"
und so weiter.
Hört man von diesen Widerwärtigkeiten *aller* US-Regierungen gegen
die Kubaner und ihre Regierung? Nein. Natürlich nicht, das ist ja
auch nicht der Sinn unserer westlichen Massenmedien. Die Funktion von
Organen wie dem Spiegel, den meisten "Journalisten" der Print- und
audiovisuellen Medien ist eine ganz andere, wie man exemplarisch an
diesem Beispiel wieder sehen kann.
Wie gesagt, wenn man sich die Funktion unserer Massenmedien einmal
klar gemacht hat, sind diese "Enthüllungen" saukomisch. :-))
