As a result, Trujillo became a public enemy in the Americas starting in the second half of 1960. Even the United States was forced to impose sanctions on the Dominican Republic.
Without the president's tacit approval, the CIA's Cuba task force would not dare to discuss cooperation with Trujillo.
Unfortunately, President Eisenhower did not intend to protect Trujillo and believed that this "benefactor of the motherland" had lost control: now this bastard dared to come to New York to assassinate an American professor and use a car bomb to murder the Venezuelan president. What he will do in the future is really hard to imagine!
Although the CIA has been constantly stirring up trouble and subversion in Latin American countries since its inception, this does not mean that other American countries can do the same and extend their sphere of influence beyond their borders, nor does it mean that these Latin American dictators can extend their black hands to the US mainland.
Trujillo's recent actions clearly show that he has no idea of his own limitations and has seriously crossed the line. The White House believes that he needs to be replaced!
So, this fall, the CIA, while being ordered to assassinate Castro, was also asked to develop a plan to assassinate Trujillo.
——Thank goodness, at the same time that the CIA sent agents to assassinate Castro, Trujillo also sent his agents to assassinate Castro.
But he probably didn't know that in the eyes of the White House, he and Castro were no different. They were just targets to be eliminated.
Of course, no matter which side sent the killer to Cuba, it seems that they can't do anything to this Cuban bearded man with full dodge skills...
According to historical trends, the CIA will suffer the consequences of its own actions in Cuba next year, but fortunately, Trujillo in the Dominican Republic is not as tough as Castro in Cuba... Or, in other words, the CIA assassins sent to the Dominican Republic may be more powerful.
On May 30, 1961, a month after the disastrous defeat in the Bay of Pigs, CIA agents from the Dominican Special Task Force, along with local informants, organized a successful ambush and shot Trujillo to death in his Chevrolet sedan.
——In general, the CIA can do a good job when it takes its actions seriously.
But the problem is that throughout the Cold War, the CIA's moments of clarity were as rare as the Russians' moments of not drinking vodka...
"Banana republics" such as Las Vegas were once beaten up by the US military, which used to be unruly.
Well, even though these countries are generally only the size of a US state, after being beaten up, they can only cry out, "The American boss has no moral principles."
If there had not been the US military's armed sweep, how could the United Fruit Company have acquired so much land in Central America at almost free prices?
However, since the end of World War II and the establishment of the United Nations, the US military has had fewer entries and exits in Latin America, and has instead focused on staging coups through the CIA.
After all, the moral standards of today's international community have significantly improved compared to the 19th century. Colonial independence and the prohibition of large nations from invading smaller nations have become universally recognized political correctness. Even the United States, the world's largest power, has to maintain a certain level of etiquette.
Otherwise, is it appropriate for the United States to denounce the evils of European colonialism while frequently sending troops to invade and even annex other countries?
Of course, if the time comes to tear each other apart, the fourth-class troopers of the US Marine Corps will still curse and angrily invade Latin America.
Fili was still confident in the US military's invincibility in the Americas. Sixty years earlier, during the invasion of Cuba, fewer than 300 US troops had been killed in direct combat. However, a full 3,000 Americans had died on the Cuban front from poisoning from spoiled canned food.
The only problem is...
"As long as we deploy the same force we used to fight the Pacific War, Castro's ragtag army will be crushed by our regular army. That's certain. But the question is, will the Pentagon be willing to be led by the CIA?"
Firi pointed out a bug, “When I was at the Pentagon, I heard a lot of complaints against the CIA.
Rather than believing that the Joint Chiefs of Staff can be magnanimous and endure for the sake of the country, I believe that the Pentagon would be happy to see the CIA make a fool of itself!
——The birth of any new department will squeeze out the power and interests of the old department.
Since the US government began to pay attention to its behavior after World War II and allowed the CIA to carry out coups and subversion in Latin America instead of directly sending troops to Latin America to support puppets, the military's voice in Latin America will decline, and various gray incomes and invisible interests will also decrease, leading to resentment towards the CIA.
After all, cutting off someone's financial resources is like taking their life. Even if one is forced to do so and has no choice but to bear the pain, they will still think about how to counterattack afterwards.
Otherwise, it will really become a pariah unit that is bullied by everyone, and the morale of the entire organization will be destroyed!
Now that the CIA has turned the Cuban invasion into a half-finished project, how could the military possibly come and clean up the mess like a bootlicker?
Indeed, with a massive US military deployment, it would be easy to wipe out the Castro regime. But if the US military simply wanted to undermine the CIA and tarnish the image of the agency that spearheaded the Cuban invasion, would it be working in secret without exerting any effort, or deliberately slacking off?
Winning a battle is certainly not easy, but everyone can be lazy and slack off!
Even if the young Marines crave medals, why would the generals in the Pentagon want to carry out CIA plans?
After the CIA's "Pluto Project" completely failed, the Pentagon could use it to criticize the CIA's capabilities and kick the CIA out of Cuba, and then calmly formulate a Cuba strategy of its own and put all the benefits into the military's pocket.
"Besides, Vice President Nixon, after losing the election, is also a hidden threat... well, before Mr. Kennedy moved into the White House, he's still Vice President. Common sense would suggest he wouldn't want John Kennedy to take over the Pluto Project, into which he'd invested so much effort, and then triumph over "reclaiming the old Barack Obama."
For Nixon, this would have been as humiliating as if Kennedy had taken his house, car, and wife."
Firi went on to say, "During Nixon's final few days in office, he might have been secretly sabotaging things, like leaking intelligence to the media and Castro, or instigating the military to take advantage of the situation to suppress the CIA. And yet, no one has been able to stop him!"
—According to the memories of the time traveler, Fili had always assumed the utmost malice towards Nixon, the unscrupulous, vindictive "American scoundrel" and "Watergate lord," and speculated on his principles: for example, if he couldn't get it, he would destroy it...
It was a disaster comparable to a hurricane, because the top leader of this group was Nixon!
Therefore, as soon as the election results came out, the entire Cuban group of agents no longer had the heart to work properly, and they only thought about making money and shifting the blame.
In addition, I could sense that Deputy Director Bissell, Director Dulles, and most CIA directors seemed to look down on Mr. Kennedy. They probably thought they could easily guide Mr. Kennedy's thinking and let the new government make decisions according to their ideas.
They even felt that they could deliberately embarrass the new president, just like General MacArthur did, without facing any consequences.”
Fili spread his hands and replied, "Even though I think they're totally crazy, they all think this is normal!
Well, who is it that Mr. Kennedy and I are both Irish people who are “born stupid” in their eyes?
After hearing Fili's description, the expressions of the other two Mr. Jins instantly became gloomy.
But Firi continued to tell the truth that was not so pleasant to hear.
"Father, brother, this is the cruel reality we have to face. Those blacks and Asians who don't understand the situation may regard us as white people. But in the eyes of the orthodox WASP old money families on the East Coast, we Irish have never been considered white!
"It doesn't matter if we become congressmen, military officers, or capitalists. Even if an Irishman can appear before them as president, these arrogant "real Americans" will still think of us as a bunch of dock laborers and construction workers in their subconscious!"
—It is well known that the ruling people of the British Isles, the citizens of the British Empire that conquered the seven seas, are the Anglo-Saxons.
However, also in the British Isles there was another, more ancient group of indigenous peoples, usually collectively referred to as the Celts.
Specifically, the Celtic peoples of the British Isles are divided into three branches: the Welsh, the Scottish and the Irish.
Among them, the Welsh, where King Arthur was born, have the smallest number of people and were conquered by England the earliest. They now have little influence.
The Scots and Irish were more independent. The Scots and Irish, however, were more independent. The Scots, due to their strong martial virtues, fought hard to achieve almost equal status with England, as in Braveheart. The Scots and Irish were severely betrayed by the British Empire's lack of morality, a fact still fresh in their minds even today.
However, even the Anglo-Saxon people in England were not the real victors. Instead, they were defeated and trampled under the feet of the Normans or the descendants of Viking pirates during the "Norman Conquest" in the 11th century, and never established their own dynasty again.
——That’s right, the royal family of the British Empire has never been Anglo-Saxon! Even in the 21st century, this is still the case.
The earliest bloodlines of all levels of nobles under the British royal family also originated from ethnic groups other than the Anglo-Saxons.
After the Norman Conquest, all the English nobles were forcibly replaced by the French-speaking Normans. The few English nobles who were lucky enough to survive were forced to cross the ocean to the Crimean Peninsula on the Black Sea and establish a "New England" colony to survive.
——Before the establishment of "New England" on the east coast of North America, there was actually another, older "New England" in Russia.
According to the viewpoint of radical nationalism, it is no exaggeration to say that the modern Anglo-Saxon people have become slaves of a conquered nation. How can they still be proud of it?
——For those who like to promote the "noble national character of the Anglo-Saxons", this is really an irony.
However, even though their own people were under colonial rule, it did not prevent the Anglo-Saxons in England from following the Norman nobles and kings and showing off their power to the Scots and Irish.
Among them, the Irish quickly became colonies due to their lack of martial virtue, and then enjoyed the "favor" of being colonized by Britain for 700 years.
The most recent one was the Great Irish Famine in the 19th century, which killed more than one million people and forced more than one million Irish people to leave their homes.
——At that time, the entire population of Ireland was only four million, but half of them died within a few years due to the "benevolent policies" of the British Empire!
As far back as the 17th century, there was the British bourgeois revolution. Although modern people often tout the "Glorious Revolution" and criticize the bloodshed and brutality of the French Revolution, as if Britain's modernization process were civilized and gentle, in reality, this was not the case at all.
At that time, under the butcher knife of Lord Protector Cromwell, not only was King Charles I beheaded, but the entire British Isles were also ploughed through by his "New Model Army," with heads and corpses everywhere. The bloodshed was as brutal as that of China's Three Kingdoms period.
It’s just that the proportion of people “reduced” by the Protector of the Country varies in each region.
——During the British bourgeois revolution, "only" 7% of the English died, 20% of the Scots died, and 50% of the Irish died!
For the Irish, this is another population halving!
As for the earlier Plantagenet dynasty, when King Edward Longshanks of England was facing the Scottish army, his famous saying "Arrows are too expensive, use Irish people" fully proved that the Irish had a lowly status worse than pigs and dogs in the minds of British rulers.
Since the Irish were worth less than an arrow, they certainly did not deserve to hold precious land under the rule of the King of England.
Therefore, by the Victorian era when the British Empire was at its peak, millions of Irish people no longer had an inch of land in their homeland. All the arable land on the entire island of Ireland belonged to 300 British landlords, including the Duke of Wellington, who defeated Napoleon in the Battle of Waterloo.
Once you understand this, you can understand why the Irish frequently launched desperate resistance when the British Empire was at its peak.
So, in another place, after leaving their hometown and crossing the ocean to the New World, would the Anglo-Saxons in the United States, under the banner of resisting Britain, put aside the discrimination in their hometown, treat the Irish as compatriots, and treat each other as close as family?
No wonder!
Although the founding fathers of the United States opposed the rule of the British king, they never denied their Anglo-Saxon national identity!
The Irish, who were born stupid and lowly, actually wanted to be on an equal footing with the Anglo-Saxon citizens after coming to the New World?
Think beautiful!
Go to the dock and carry heavy bags, and die of overwork in the factory!
In fact, even the Scots and Welsh were discriminated against in the United States by English immigrants until the beginning of the 20th century.
As for the status of the Irish in the United States, it has long been inferior to that of the Protestant Dutch, Germans, Nordic people and French. At most, it is similar to the Italians and is considered "half white". Its status is only slightly higher than that of Asians and blacks.
——In modern America, "whiteness" is not a biological concept, but a political concept.
It does not mean that if you have blonde hair, blue eyes and skin as white as snow, you can be considered "white" and gain the power and status of a white person.
Because then they'll have to check your ancestry and religion and a whole bunch of other shit.
For example, Scarlett Johansson, the heroine in Gone with the Wind, was actually considered white by American standards during the Civil War, as her father was Irish and her mother was French, neither of whom were British, and she was also Catholic—though she may have converted to Protestantism.
Therefore, Scarlett, who is half Irish, does not meet the most stringent standards of being a "real American" and can only be described as "suspected white."
Of course, despite the above-mentioned discrimination, the Irish have finally gained room for advancement in the more ethnically diverse United States - just like when an Indian Shudra comes to Africa and sees that there are people in the world who are darker than themselves, he will feel that he has been upgraded.
In addition, as a country of immigrants, the ethnic composition of the U.S. population has been undergoing subtle changes.
By the early 21st century, the number of white English Protestants, the most typical "real Americans," had fallen to just 12% of the total U.S. population. If one excludes the Welsh and Scottish and only counts white English Protestants, the figure falls below 10%.
Faced with this situation, the traditional "WASPs," who were on the verge of becoming a minority, naturally no longer had the confidence to deny the Irish's white identity. Instead, they desperately sought to expand their base, including whites of all ethnicities, and build a major alliance to confront people of color.
But even though they have lived up to the values of the United Front, most modern American Irish "superiors" still enjoy the hidden benefits of being white, while taking advantage of their rather deceptive white appearance, shouting all kinds of white left-wing rhetoric, standing on the side of people of color such as blacks and Hispanics, and fiercely stabbing the "old mainstream ethnic group" of the United States - the Anglo-Saxons.
Ultimately, the largest group of Anglo-Saxons in the United States were suppressed and turned into "rednecks" who were burdened with original sin and were vulgar and lowly...
It is a very long process and cannot be accomplished overnight.
In the 1960s, "white" citizens in the broad sense still accounted for more than 80% of the total U.S. population.
Even if we further break down the population, excluding Hispanics and Catholics of other ethnic groups, such as the Irish, and only counting white British Protestants and white Protestants from the Dutch, Germans, and Northern Europe, they still account for more than half of the total population, thus maintaining numerical suppression over other ethnic groups in the country.
If we take into account factors such as social status, power, and wealth, the overwhelming advantage of white Protestants will be even more obvious.
Under such circumstances, the old conservative white Protestants of English descent in the United States naturally had little motivation to win over the Irish.
Therefore, President John F. Kennedy, an Irishman and a Catholic, was able to win the US presidential election in 1960 by taking advantage of a lot of negative buffs and the arrogance, laxity and bad luck of his opponents, and finally achieved a lucky victory.
——He is the first Irish president and the first Catholic president in American history.
Considering that the United States at that time had just experienced the baptism of McCarthyism, the atmosphere was more conservative and retro.
President Kennedy's rise to power in 1960 was almost as groundbreaking as Obama's becoming the first black president in 2008.
This will naturally provoke strong backlash and resistance from the traditional ruling ethnic group in the United States - the "WASP" white Protestants.
This includes all kinds of soft confrontation and trap-setting, as well as intentional or unintentional contempt and "obedience tests"...
As an affiliate of the Kennedy family, the Kim family, also of Irish descent, was naturally targeted while being flattered.
-
"Damn it! Do these damned Anglo-Saxons still regard us Irish as cowards and asses?"
After his younger brother, Ferry, pointed out the traditional American upper class's resistance to the Irish ascendancy, Bernard, the eldest brother, could not help but pound the table in anger and mutter, "Since the CIA is bent on shirking responsibility, then the responsibility should be put back on them!
"Couldn't we follow the original 'Pluto Plan' and ask Mr. Kennedy, after becoming president, to allocate a large sum of money to the CIA so that it could recruit 15,000 mercenaries to attack Cuba? With that many people, we should be able to conquer Cuba, right?"
"It's useless, this trick won't work! Right now, it's not just a problem of lack of money, but also a problem of lack of human resources, Bernard.
Even if Mr. Kennedy could get money for the CIA, it would be useless because there are simply not that many Cubans in the United States now!"
Fili sighed. "The CIA made the decision to recruit five brigades and 15,000 Cuban mercenaries in Florida on a whim, without even conducting a census. It wasn't until the time came to implement the plan that they realized something was amiss..."
"Maybe we could use Mexican mercenaries as impersonators? I see they speak Spanish like the Cubans and look similar."
Patrick's father came up with a bad idea, "As for illegal Mexican immigrants, the southern states have all the Mexicans they need.
As long as the CIA can provide asylum and enough money, recruiting 10,000 Mexican desperadoes should not be difficult."
"Mexicans pretending to be Cubans? Dad, that's probably not a good idea. Their accents are so different.
Moreover, the Cuban Special Task Force is currently showing no enthusiasm for recruiting. Even the "Wave" training camp in Coral Gables, Florida, has been converted into a brothel. If it were to be restored to its former state as a military training base, wouldn't all the luxurious renovations previously funded with public funds have to be destroyed?
Firi replied, "Also, the owner of this Wave brothel is none other than Captain Estelion of the Cuban Special Task Force!"
——It is obvious that for the unrepentant and greedy CIA bureaucrats, the agency's mission is not as important as personal property.
Even this private property was acquired by embezzling public funds...
But the meat is already in the tiger's mouth, how can it be easily spit out?
