One must remember that above Cuba, which is only a ‘Goon in the international chess board, much higher interests had to be safeguarded. It was necessary to destroy the myth of the ‘monolythic unity’ of the Communist world, which the Communists have tired of proclaiming, and in the end it was necessary to show that they are also filled with great contradictions and to direct the global strategy against the leading enemy which is international Communism. “Well, CASTRO knew this well and he was beginning to get scared because he understood perfectly that when the USSR withdrew its last soldier the count down would begin for him (CASTR). . "Who were terribly harmed by the friendship and peaceful coexistence of the USSR and the U.Ss., by the lessening of world tension as.result of @ll this? ...China and CASTRO. Who had a life or death interest, at that time, in a return to a cold war as result of a sudden separation er coldness between both giants? ...China and CASTRO. Who we segently interested in provoking a transcendental event which might ret the break of those ties? ...China dnd CASTRO. The event tok: places KENNEDY was assessinated. However, the United States were aware of the sinister plot and aid not fall in the trap. “The same night of KENNEDY’s death the State Department published a note saying that ‘no foreign power had been involved in the. assassina~ tion.' The USSR was immediately pulled out of the affair.” 4 oe suspicion which began to arise was stifled. oN “Later on MZKOYAN and JOHNSON had an interview, and when MIKOYAN came out he declared that ‘relations between both countries remained unchanged.‘ However, in all his appearances CASTRO continued to insist that ‘plans had been directed against Cuba, the USSR, and peace.’ By all means he wants to pull the USSR down with him. Note the insistence *pid reactionary elements plan KENNEDY's assassination? I only ask myself thiz questions Is there anyone so stupid in the U.S. or in the world who thinks that there is going to be a sudden change in the situation because the President of the United States is assassinated?

Is this: true? "In my opinion, the assassin. ‘planned to escape and to seek ‘eefuge here (Cuba), maybe even under a fictitious name. Everything is:possible with these people. The diplomatic note also tries to involve the USSR, ‘and we are back at the same thing. At a givan moment, such a transcendenti happening as KENNEDY's death could suddenly provoke a collective hysteria” in the United States and maybe even provoke a confrontation with the USSR.. Therefore, it was a diabolical scheme leading to achieve an effective happening which might benefit someone politically, and that someone could be MAO and Fidel. “fhe objective might have been rapidly attained.

13-00000- SECRET ; Report # BEE-837, @@m, 20 Dec 63 (cont.) : the immediate beginning of an almost hot ‘Cold War’ with the subsequent support of all of KHRUSECHEV's missiles to the tottering Cuban regime. ‘Of course, this would be a brilliant and possible play in the case of an oxtrenely dangerous paranotc. “What a coincidence? Two days after KENNEDY's funeral a transcendental announcement is mades Venezuela officially accuses Cuba of landing a huge cargo of arms in that country. All the teams get mobilized and the immediate order is given to have a meeting of the Security Council of the 0.A.S. All this happens with the speed of lightning. The cache of arms was discovered on the 2nd of November 1963, but the transcendental step was not given until now.... In my opinion, that was the Plan which KENNEDY was holding in reserve. But KENNEDY had more time to carry it out, and JOHNSON does not have so much time; and besides, it is necessary to act while things are hot and that is why it was advanced. Now I do think that the crucial moment has come: The mouse fell in the mousetrap with cheese and everything: It will be very difficult for CASTRO to get out of this ambush. “Besides, many doubts and prejudices which we had been dragging for a long time now begin to get clarified. That was the Plan: Get CASTRO to accomplish something of such magnitude that it would affect all Latin American countries, so that all would have to adopt collective measures. The Plan was COLLECTIVE ACTION. That is why the Americans were opposed to actions by Cuban exiles. That is why they persecuted them. That is why KENNEDY rejected the idea of an invasion by the U.S. It was necessary to wait for the opportunity, and they waited for it. Everything will take place in the eyes of the world with the evidence on hand, according to law; that is the objective of Article 8 of the 1947 Rfo de Janeiro Mutual Assistance Treaty. America has in its hands the legal instrument to do justice against Communism. It is a case of flagrant intervention in a country which is a signer of the Treaty by one which does not respect any Law and which has placed itself outside the law. "If CASTRO has been shouting since the 2nd of December of 1961 that he ‘is a Marxist-Leninist,’ the fact is that he does not know absolutely anything about that. This gentleman has never been more ~5e SECRET - app 277248

That is why those who were hunting him let him ‘ loose. It was necessary to wait patiently for him to make a mistake, ‘and in the end he did make it. Fighting in Venezuela is a completely erroneous fight from all viewpoints, but in order to show that we are not--like they say we are~--resentful bourgeois we are going to prove it from the Marxist-Leninist viewpoint. “The CHINESE have said the following about this: ‘We uphold that in the fight against Imperialism, strategically, considering the whole, it is necessary to have contempt for the enemy, to dare fight against him and to conquer victory. ‘And at the same time, tactically, in each concrete struggle, it is necessary to take the enemy seriously into account and to adopt a conscientious and prudent attitude. Tactically, if the enemy is not taken seriously into account, and one acts in a rash manner, and if at the same time one does not dare to have contempt for the enemy strategically, one will inevitably commit the mistake of Adventurousnegs in Tactics and of Capitulationisem in ‘Strategy. ' And comrade MAO also has to say the following about Tactics in his select works: ‘If we do not act with prudence in each particular case, in each concrete problem, we do not take care in studying and in perfecting our art of fighting and we do not pay attention to winning all the allies which must be won (small farmers, small artisans and independent merchants, middle bourgeosie, students, teachers, professors and intellectuals in general, simple public servants, ‘professionals, and sensible persons) , we will make a mistake of leftist Opportunian. ' “But Mr. Fidel CASTRO was a magnificent Marxist-Leninist and the result is: nothing more illogical than what is being done in Venezuela. How is it possible for a Marxist-Leninist--even for a first grade one-- not to be aware that this type of tactical fight is only possible within a Dictatorial System, a System of the TRUJILLO type, a STROESSNER type, or a DUVALIER type? “How is it possible in Venezuela where BETANCOURT was elected through clean elections, and who is now going to hold elections and will turn the reigns of the Government over to another person or to another Party? Only a cretin will think of it. Tactics are erroneous and falls frankly into the worst kind of Leftist Adventurousness. CASTRO has dug his own grave. «a G = SECRET
