    Cuban Crisis('62): brazenly provoked by JFK's govt/advisors - US nukes to Italy+Turkey in '61 Archived Message

    Cuban Crisis(1962) - brazenly provoked by JFK's govt/military advisers: US nukes to Italy+Turkey in '61 ...in the same year the US attempted to invade Cuba.

    Wikipedia(not Galloway!):
    "Starting in November of that year(1961) the US government engaged in a campaign of terrorism and sabotage in Cuba, referred to as the Cuban Project."

    Ironically you'll never hear GG or the MSM stating this inconvenient historical reality - the incontrovertible fact that it was America and JFK's government and military advisors that brazenly, recklessly and multifariously provoked the October 1962 Cuban Missile crisis.

    Yep - even Wikipedia gets it bang-on right - lays out the still rarely-stated ugly, inconvenient, incontrovertible truth:

    (NB. the timeline: JFK and his government - elected in November 1960)

    "In 1961 the US government put Jupiter nuclear missiles in Italy and Turkey, and attempted to invade Cuba. Starting in November of that year the US government engaged in a campaign of terrorism and sabotage in Cuba, referred to as the Cuban Project, which continued throughout the first half of the 1960s. "

    So GG et al - in 1962 the relentlessly provoked(by JFK's government/advisors) Soviets understandably responded by moving unactivated nuclear missiles to Cuba.

    Yep - one's beloved JFK oh-so heroically defused an unprecedented human existential crisis that he and his government and military advisors had ignited.
    Fact. Right, GG et al ?

    The US - playing both fire-lighters and fire-fighters. Same as ever. Same story in Ukraine(..and Taiwan etc etc ad nauseam).
    And the same selectively-amnesiac, all-enabling media that only depicts US-NATO (and JFK..) as the heroic fire-fighters - never as the reckless or witless provocateurs and fire-lighters.
