Zone of Reality: Castro Notes

By Rich Kozlovich

I realized today that we have a clear theme for this week's posts.

"There is No Such Thing as a Conspiracy Week!"

For years one of my favorite lines has been; "everything really IS a conspiracy!" Natually I get rolled eyes, snickers and outright laughter...and that's from my friends. That's ok, because as the years have gone by...I'm quoted by those friends.

It will be a lie of course, ...but then.... when has that ever stopped a conspiracy?

Mr. GARDNER. "Yes, that is right."

Senator Eastland: "Mr Smith, you had been warning the State Department that Castro was a Marxist?'
Mr. Smith: "Yes, sir....

Senator Eastland: "Would you say that the American Government then, including all of its agencies, was largely responsible for bringing Castro to power?"

Mr Smith: "The State Department played a large part in bringing Castro to power. The press, and other Government agencies (CIA), members of Congress are also responsible..”
