To be far to the others, Fidel's would be assassins were a group of the most incompetent losers the world has ever seen.
And also I think that number is inflated a bit by counting every plan that was in the works at a some point, not all of them ended up being attempted.
attempt #572: "Hey, what if we tried to, um... actually never mind, that's stupid, forget it."
It should be mentioned that one of the plans was to place a booby trapped conch on the sea floor (Fidel loved scuba diving) in case he just so happened to decide to pick that specific conch up
Was one of the plans to replace one of his cigars with a stick of dynamite so that it would blow up in his face, leaving it covered in soot, thus causing him to be #canceled for doing blackface?
Literally yes. I'm not even joking.
I mean, not the blackface part. But they literally did try to kill him with an exploding cigar
if i remember right one of the plans was to dose with him LSD before an interview, so this isn't that implausible lol
“I got dosed with acid once, back in ‘61. Fucking CIA agent slipped it in my drink. Che started singing, I look over, your uncle Raul’s got laser beams shooting out his eyeballs!”
actually it was multiple unrelated attempts that just happened to take place on the same day
It was a weather balloon. Some swamp gas from over the horizon ignited and popped the balloon, which gave the optical illusion of JFK's head exploding. It was so convincing that he just went along with it for a joke, and then a Secret Service guy accidentally shot him.
My theory is that everything that occurred was just a really big slapstick sketch gone wrong
is it just a coincidence that Lee Harvey Oswald was trained at the Clown School of the Americas?
People forget that Moe Howard “couldn’t remember” where he was that day
Especially the French themselves.
I think one of my ex's family members was involved in one of the plots against de Gaulle, fascist military types stationed in Algeria
It was an interesting bit of trivia that came out during our time together, but otherwise she was seen as the family radical leftist for being like... a Bidenesque liberal.
But apparently, she was raised to believe vintage nazi propaganda so the fact she did not end up becoming a literal violent fascist is a big win for the world.
Absolutely absurd how incompetent the CIA is. I still cannot comprehend how it is possible to fail so many times.
They are competent at coups. Assasinations are FBI specialty.
