    Reproduzo hoje trecho do livro Os Grandes Líderes: Fidel Castro. Esta parte do livro trata do episódio mais tenso da Guerra Fria: A Crise dos Mísseis, ocasionada pela instalação de mísseis nucleares soviéticos em Cuba, apontados para os Estados Unidos. Segundo o governo soviético, os mísseis eram uma retaliação aos mísseis nucleares americanos instalados na Turquia cujo alvo seria a União Soviética. Este conflito geopolítico poderia ter dado início a uma guerra nuclear.

  • In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba.
  • plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities
  • to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba's then new leader, communist Fidel Castro
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • "The whole point of a democracy is to have leaders responding to the public will, and here this is the complete reverse, the military trying to trick the American people into a war that they want but that nobody else wants."
  • neither the American public, nor the Cuban public, wanted to see U.S. troops deployed to drive out Castro. Reflecting this, the U.S. plan called for establishing prolonged military — not democratic — control over the island nation after the invasion.
  • a time when there was distrust in the military leadership about their civilian leadership, with leaders in the Kennedy administration viewed as too liberal, insufficiently experienced and soft on communism. At the same time, however, there real were concerns in American society about their military overstepping its bounds
  • reports U.S. military leaders had encouraged their subordinates to vote conservative during the election
  • One idea was to create a war between Cuba and another Latin American country so that the United States could intervene. Another was to pay someone in the Castro government to attack U.S. forces at the Guantanamo naval base — an act, which Bamford notes, would have amounted to treason. And another was to fly low level U-2 flights over Cuba, with the intention of having one shot down as a pretext for a war.
  • Afraid of a congressional investigation, Lemnitzer had ordered all Joint Chiefs documents related to the Bay of Pigs destroyed, says Bamford. But somehow, these remained.

    Em Cuba, se você tiver aptidão para o esporte, vai poder se desenvolver com total apoio do estado. Pô, assim não vale! Do jeito que eles fazem, com escolas para todos, professores especializados e centros de excelência gratuitos, é moleza. Quero ver é fazer que nem a gente, no improviso. Aí, duvido que eles ganhem de nós. Duvido!

    "A Aztec Account of the Conquest of Mexico In 1519 Hernan Cortés sailed from Cuba, landed in Mexico and made his way to the Aztec capital. Miguel Leon­Portilla, a Mexican anthropologist, gathered accounts by the Aztecs, some of which were written shortly after the conquest. Speeches of Motecuhzoma and Cortés When Motecuhzoma [Montezuma] had given necklaces to each one, Cortés asked him: "Are you Motecuhzoma? Are you the king? Is it true that you are the king Motecuhzoma?" And the king said: "Yes, I am Motecuhzoma." Then he stood up to welcome Cortés; he came forward, bowed his head low and addressed him in these words: "Our lord, you are weary. The journey has tired you, but now you have arrived on the earth. You have come to your city, Mexico. You have come here to sit on your throne, to sit under its canopy. "The kings who have gone before, your representatives, guarded it and preserved it for your coming. The kings Itzcoatl, Motecuhzoma the Elder, Axayacatl, Tizoc and Ahuitzol ruled for you in the City of Mexico. The people were protected by their swords and sheltered by their shields. "Do the kings know the destiny of those they left behind, their posterity? If only they are watching! If only they can see what I see! "No, it is not a dream. I am not walking in my sleep. I am not seeing you in my dreams.... I have seen you at last! I have met you face to face! I was in agony for five days, for ten days, with my eyes fixed on the Region of the Mystery. And now you have come out of the clouds and mists to sit on your throne again. "This was foretold by the kings who governed your city, and now it has taken place. You have come back to us; you have come down from the sky. Rest now, and take possession of your royal houses. Welcome to your land, my lords! " When Motecuhzoma had finished, La Malinche translated his address into Spanish so that the Captain could understand it. Cortés replied in his str

    Reproduzo mais um trecho do livro Viagem à luta armada. Nesta parte do livro Carlos Eugênio está no seu apartamento no exílio em Paris, deitado numa banheira e entorpecido por drogas, que não curam, lógico, mas ajudam a aliviar a dor das lembranças sombrias: das vidas que se perderam na guerrilha que fracassou, da revolução perdida. Ele se lembra da intenção de fugir para Cuba para escapar do serviço militar e da despedida do pai. Ao ler este trecho fico pensando em quantas pessoas neste breve, louco e já tão distante século XX tiveram que fazer a mesma despedida: soldados vermelhos na Rússia; Partisans na Itália; Espartaquistas na Alemanha; todos tiveram que deixar suas famílias, seus entes queridos. Pois a partir dali suas vidas seriam em prol da revolução e nada mais importava a não ser a luta por uma sociedade melhor.
