FIDEL CASTRO Vs. CIA.

The CIA's 7 Most Bizarre Assassination Attempts

SARASIJ MAJUMDER

During my school, and college days, FIDEL CASTRO, and CHE GUEVERA were my heroes. I will talk today CIA’s  some assassination attempts  on Castro’s life.

Cuban dictator survived a total of 634  assassination attempts, and the CIA tried to come up with a number of strange ways to get rid of him. The details are listed below:

7. The Psychedelic Speech

Not all of the attempts were on Castro's life: America's intelligence services initially tried other methods to undermine the leader's public image as a charismatic strongman.

In 1960, the CIA planned to sabotage Castro's speeches by spraying his broadcasting studio with a chemical that would make him suffer similar hallucinations to LSD.

6. Poisonous cigars - At first, the CIA poisoned a box of cigars and sent it to Cuba. However, they never reached Castro, and nobody knows what happened to them.

5. Mobsters - The CIA also enlisted two gangsters to help with Castro's death. The government was ready to pay $150,000 (at least $1.2 million in today's money) to have the gangsters take Castro out. The mobsters happened to be Sam Giancana, the boss of the Chicago mob, and Santos Trafficante, the leader of the mafia’s Cuban operations. They hired a Cuban to take poisonous pills to Castro, but he never arrived because “his feet got cold.”

4. Explosive seashells - Although this plan never came to fruition, intelligence officials wanted to utilize Castro's passion for the ocean to kill him. They planned to lace explosives inside a large seashell and decorate it with beautiful colours to steal the gaze of the scuba-loving dictator.

3. Fungus suit - After that, the CIA wanted to ruin one of Castro's scuba suits with a fungus that would produce a deadly, chronic skin disease. The diving suit, as well as a contaminated breathing apparatus, ended up never leaving the laboratory, and the assassin gave Castro the wrong suit.

2. Femme fatale - The CIA tasked Castro’s lover—Marita Lorenz—with murdering Castro. Lorenz told Vanity Fair in 1993 that, while she was Castro's lover in late 1959, she was recruited as a contract-agent for the CIA and tasked with assassinating the Cuban leader.

She was given two botulism-toxin pills to drop in Castro’s drink, so her story goes. Just one would kill him in 30 seconds, but she got cold feet.

1. Poisoned Pen - They wanted to send an assassin with a hypodermic needle concealed inside a pen, but this never happened since the assassin complained about the method of killing and because the death of President Kennedy shifted the CIA’s focus.

They also tried dusting his shoes with thallium salts — which would have made Castro's iconic beard fall out.

Like the hundreds of other plots against Castro, all failed.

Former First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Council of State, Fidel Castro died of natural causes at 22:29 (CST) on the evening of 25 November 2016, at the age of 90.

  INDIANS EXTRAORDINARY FIRST PART HERE, I WILL COVER THE  OUTSTANDING INDIAN SCIENTISTS, CHRONOLOGICALLY MOVING BACKWARD . 1.0 NEENA GUPTA. In 2014, she was awarded the Young Scientists Award by the Indian National Science Academy (INSA) for solving the Zariski Cancellation Problem, posed by Oscar Zariski, one of the most eminent founders of modern algebraic geometry. “One of the best works in algebraic geometry in recent years done anywhere,” was INSA’s remark on Gupta’s solution.
