How Castro survived 638 very cunning assassination attempts - triple j
www.abc.net.au
About 10 years ago, the former head of Cuban intelligence, Fabian Escalante, told a British documentary team the CIA had tried to kill Fidel Castro more than 600 times, over a period of about 40 years.

Crazy just how low the CIA will sink to kill someone they don't agree with. Truly the most evil and cowardly organisation on earth.

A series of newspaper reports in the 1970s led to a government investigation of the CIA's abuses of power. President Ford banned political assassinations in 1976, but according to Escalante they continued for two more decades, including in the '90s under President Clinton.

Corruption and lies the whole way down. No wonder the US is crumbling.

    My headcanon is that after the first few attempts, the CIA started sabotaging their own colleagues' assassination attempts because they wanted their own personal attempt to be what took him out.
