In this latest installment, I consider the polarizing figure of Fidel Castro in relation to the numerous tales of CIA subterfuge and “assassination attempts,” as well as the larger picture of how the CIA works under the CFR to control Latin America, and thus how Latin American operations are a microcosm of how the rest of the sectors are managed – from the Middle East to Eurasia.

I have NOT seen any evidence to this day that has changed my opinion..... Yes, we have seen many reports of debris "washing up" on the beaches of many islands in the Indian Ocean including Madagascar...
