An important leader of Cuba

President Castro Castro, President of the Council of State and Council of Ministers of Cuba, was born on August 1926 13 in Bilan Town, Orientale Province, Cuba. He graduated from the University of Havana in 1950 with a doctorate in law. 1On July 26th, 953, Castro led an armed uprising against Batista's dictatorship, attacked Moncada Barracks, was arrested after failing, and made a famous self-defense statement "History will acquit me" in court. 1955, he went into exile in the United States and Mexico, where he founded the July 26th Movement. Castro returned to Cuba on 1956 and established a rebel and base in the Mastra Mountains. 1959 1 month, led the rebel army to overthrow Batista's dictatorship, set up a revolutionary government, and became the prime minister (later renamed the chairman of the Council of Ministers) and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Castro has been the first secretary of the Cuban Socialist Revolutionary Unity Party since 1962. 1965, after the party was renamed Cuban producers' party, it served as the first secretary of the Central Committee. Castro has been the chairman of the State Council since 1976. President Castro paid a state visit to China on 1995. For many Argentines, Fidel Castro is the last person alive. On the evening of 26th, tens of thousands of Argentines listened to the 77-year-old Cuban man's speech for two and a half hours with great enthusiasm in the biting cold wind in Buenos Aires, Argentina. ■ Argentines flocked to Castro's speech, which was organized by the Cuban Embassy in Argentina and some student groups in Buenos Aires. Since Castro had to catch a plane back to Cuba that night, the organizers only planned to hold a small exchange activity with a maximum of 1 000 people in the auditorium of the Law School of the University of Buenos Aires at 7 pm. Unexpectedly, since the afternoon, countless citizens of the capital have rushed here to get a glimpse of the revolutionary leader. Most of them are college students and members of left-wing political parties, as well as a large number of literary and art workers, intellectuals and journalists, as well as ordinary citizens of different identities and ages. Due to the rush hour, the traffic on Liberator Avenue in front of and near the law school was seriously blocked by the crowd, so that these two important traffic trunk lines in Buenos Aires were finally temporarily closed. The crowded crowd even smashed some doors and windows of the college. The organizer had to postpone the activity for two hours in order to find another way to solve the venue problem. They set up a temporary platform on the steps in front of the law school, which looks like an ancient Greek temple, connected with simple lighting and audio equipment. The closed-circuit video system plays the speaker's image on several large screens outdoors, and the audience gathers on several square lawns around the law school. ■ Castro fascinated the Argentines, and Castro's speech began in the cold wind. He said: "Buenos Aires is very cold in winter, but the enthusiasm of Argentines makes everyone take off their coats. The organizers really underestimated the Argentine people. " Castro, dressed in a gray suit, has a straight back and a trembling voice, but his tone is as impassioned as when he first visited the city 44 years ago. He talked about the Internet and environmental protection from the aspects of health and education, and told an anecdote about his close comrade-in-arms and legendary soldier Ernesto Guevara's life at the request of the audience. In his speech, Castro praised the Argentine people for "making great contributions to Latin America and the world" because they buried "a symbol of neoliberalism in the trench of the Pacific Ocean". According to the interpretation of Argentine media, Castro is saying that Argentines chose Kirchner in the just-concluded presidential election and rejected Menem, the representative of neo-liberal model and pro-American policy. Castro's speech was interrupted by thunderous applause and cheers from time to time. For Castro, who is good at long speeches, his speech lasted for two and a half hours, but his plane was about to take off. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? The book reveals an amazing inside story: Bacardi, Cuba's largest rum factory, has been plotting to overthrow the Cuban government for more than 40 years. During this period, they also cooperated closely with the CIA and hired mafia killers to plot to assassinate Castro. Nationalization of hatred in the heart "Bacardi Company" is the largest rum factory in the world and one of the most successful and largest famous wine enterprises in the world. The company was founded in Cuba in 1862 by a Frenchman and a Catalan, and its business has been growing since then. At present, the company sells an average of 240 million bottles of rum every year, and its products are sold to 170 countries around the world, with more than 40 offices in 2 1 0 countries such as North America, Europe and South America. The book Bacardi wrote, "It is hard for outsiders to imagine that behind the prosperity of the company's business is a huge empire." In order to overthrow the Castro government and "rebuild its empire" in Cuba, the company did not hesitate to use violence and other means, such as "sponsoring" right-wing extremist organizations and important American politicians, and invested millions of dollars in this regard. So, what makes such a well-known international enterprise so "hostile to the Cuban government"? According to Bacardi, it all started with the Cuban Revolution in 1959. After the victory of the Cuban revolution led by Castro, Cuba began to implement public ownership. 1960, Bacardi Company and other related industries of the company were all nationalized. Later, other enterprises successively reached an understanding with the Cuban government on the issue of nationalization, but Bacardi never did. Private enterprises that have worked hard for hundreds of years were nationalized overnight, and Bacardi Company has always been somewhat "dissatisfied". Since then, the contradiction between Bacardi and the Cuban government has become deeper and deeper. The book Bacardi, which was jointly planned by the CIA, revealed that in the 1960s, Jose Ping Pei Bosch, then the president of Bacardi Company, planned to blow up Cuba's oil refineries, hoping to cut off Cuba's nationwide energy supply and trigger a "national subversive activity". But somehow, this big conspiracy leaked out. Jose's plan and photos of the bomber he was going to use to drop bombs were exposed by The New York Times, but the company had to give up the plan. 1964, the company put forward another more detailed "plan" to assassinate Castro. It was not until more than 30 years later that the National Security Council of Cuba released the top secret files related to the "plan" from 65438 to 0998. According to the archives, this "assassination of Castro" plan was planned by the CIA behind the scenes, funded by Ping Pei Bosch, president of Bacardi, and sent members of the American mafia as killers. In order to assassinate Castro and his two comrades-in-arms, Raul and Che Govala, the CIA and Bacardi paid a total of $6.5438+$0.5 million to hire mafia professional killers, of which $6.5438+$0.5 million was paid by Bacardi President Ping Pei Bosch himself. It is closely related to the anti-Cuban forces in the United States. With the strong support of the President and the number one shareholder of Bacardi, the 198 1 Cuban-American Foundation was formally established, and this right-wing extremist organization later became one of the main forces of "reverse card". In the secret war against the Nicaraguan Sanding National Liberation Front launched by the Reagan administration from 1984 to 1988, the Cuban-American Foundation was also regarded as an intermediate communication channel. The foundation bluntly stated that the purpose of its participation in the Central American conflict was "to help build a free Nicaragua". 1996, the United States promulgated the Helms-Burton Act (hereinafter referred to as the Helms-Burton Act), which stipulated that it was illegal for foreigners to invest in enterprises designated by Castro as state-owned assets, and refused to issue American visas to company executives who dared to do so. The senior management of Bacardi not only strongly supported this law enacted by the United States, but also said that Cuba must take reform actions to change its image in the eyes of the United States and "let the United States think that Cuba is a democratic country" in order to obtain "diplomatic recognition" from the United States. Because Bacardi's implementation of Herbert Act can be described as "painstaking", this bill is even called "Bacardi Act" in the US Congress circle. As soon as Bacardi was written, the top management of Bacardi Company even raised money for Senator jesse helms, one of the planners of the Helms-Burton Act. 1975, the president of the Miami branch of Bacardi Company lobbied for Senator Helms to raise funds in various ways, and the total sponsorship fee for him was $75,000. Bacardi: This book is not worth mentioning. Although Bacardi's advertisement called the book "a true and credible description of this multinational company's struggle for political and economic interests", a spokesman of Bacardi Company disdainfully said: "I don't think this book is worth commenting on, everyone in the company shares my opinion!" ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 2002-07-25 Source: Qianlong. com Cuba has a senior journalist named Luis Bates. It is said that he has studied the historical data of hundreds of attempted murders of Cuban revolutionary leader and current Cuban President Fidel Castro by the Central Intelligence Agency, and is an expert. Not long ago, a reporter from the Spanish newspaper Pioneer interviewed him and asked him to talk about his little-known secret. The following are the questions and answers of the two of them in the interview ... Reporter: Where did you see so much information about this? I am 65 years old. In the past 65 years, I have written for Cuban newspapers for 42 years, and I have written all about President Castro. I was born in Havana. I have been married for a long time. I have three children. They all live in Cuba and are advocates of Castro's policy. The CIA has some declassified files, and the Cuban Security Bureau also has some declassified files. It is through these files that I have studied all the attempted murders of Castro over the years. By the way, Castro now has an heir, and his successor is now in charge of this country. Let me tell you one thing first: Castro used to have a habit of going to the Hilton Hotel (now called the Free Cuba Hotel) for chocolate cocktails every night. The CIA had planned to poison him with potassium cyanide, and later handed over the capsules containing potassium cyanide to the agents lurking in the hotel. Reporter: What, he smashed the cup wrong? No, it isn't, but the poor fool put the capsule in the refrigerator. When he took it out of there, the poison in it had broken down and failed. However, compared with other murders, this agent is not far from his purpose. Reporter: There are probably many murder attempts like this. -From the archives declassified by the Central Intelligence Agency and the archives of the Security Bureau of the Cuban Ministry of the Interior, I have seen more than 600 such murder plots! Reporter: So many times! So, sometimes 1 minute, how many times? For 43 years, once a month on average. Of course, I'm talking about the plan. Some plans have never been implemented, and some have finally miscarried. I mean all the top secret action plans against the Cuban revolution. Reporter: The most noteworthy attempt, can you introduce it to us? -When the left-wing politician Allende Chile was president, Castro paid a historic visit to Chile. The CIA arranged for a cinematographer to film Castro. The gun is hidden in the camera. But at the last minute, the photographer was scared and scared him away. Reporter: What is the stupidest murder? There is an agent named Thomas Perot in the CIA. He is one of the few conspirators in the CIA. His plan is to send his men to spread the news that "the second arrival of Christ is at hand" and spread the gossip that "Castro is against Christ", and said: Cubans should hold an uprising against Castro, which will be marked by the gunshots of American submarines. Reporter: In my opinion, CIA people really have nothing to do, so many people have nothing to do! -That's right. This young man named Pellao is a genius. However, all his plans are carefully worked out. It can be said that his plan once gave people "a glimmer of hope to get rid of Castro." Reporter: Let me guess: Does anyone want to suggest putting something similar to explosives in Castro's favorite cigar? I didn't find any information about this method of murder. But someone does want to inject a poison called "botulinum toxin" into his cigar. This poison is so powerful that anyone who touches his lips will be poisoned. Reporter: But I'm afraid that kind of sabotage will not only kill him, but also damage his reputation and image. -I read a document that an attempted accident tried to spray a liquid similar to LSD into the studio where Castro was going to give a speech, which made him sneeze and lose face. Reporter: Do you believe this plan really won't work? I'm sorry, what do you mean? Reporter: Just kidding. Really, I'm just kidding. Please tell me another story that surprises me! -All right. Within a year. There was another serious attempted murder against him, so that Castro himself said, "My greatest achievement is to survive, and I am still alive." -/Renwu/castelo/References. ...
