Who, REALLY, Was Fidel Castro ?

Leuren Moret, in around 2015 shared what she knew about him in this conversation with Alfred Lambremont Webber. The Iranian (Persian) and Roman papal families connection wasn't entirely new to me but the connection with Californian/Mexican land grants was.

I've made this 1 hour 14 minutes audio file from a much longer interview. I chopped out a huge amount of 'ums and arrs' that she ruins her speech with, but left in quite a lot too. I also removed some chunks that take the focus away from Castro. Perhaps I should have, but I didn't, chop out the stuff about Putin and Russia.

I know of at least one other member of this forum who is quite knowledgeable about Castro's ancestral roots and I hope he and others will join in this thread to flesh out the truth about a very poorly understood figure of 20th century history. The threads of significance span a lot more than the 20th century and involve a lot more people than Fidel Castro and I hope some dots can be joined in this thread.

The new excitement about "The JFK Files" even connects up with whatever this story turns out to be.

A starter listen to get things going. Even if subjective assumptions about ancient historical matters makes you sigh and tut at stupid little fake academics like me, the part about the Castro California land rights, as determined by the US supreme court in the 1800s, might get your attention.

Looks like an another jewish actor who got assigned a role to play in history ...

Fidel Castro took part in Hollywood movies "Bathing Beauty" in 1944 and "Holidays in Mexico" in 1946

Fidel Castro Ruz was born in 1926, the son of a rich landowner in the vicinity of Santiago de Cuba. The parents of his mother Lina Ruz, who was Jewish, emigrated from Turkey. Fidel Castro's father Angel Castro became a millionaire working for Rockefeller's United Fruit Company. While a student at the University of Havana Castro was also a notorious hooligan (Paul Johnson, "Modern Times", New York,
1983). Fidel joined UIR, an anti-fascist and anti-catholic organization. He also associated himself with communists. His friends were all communists. At that time Castro became a KGB agent.
While at the university, together with Ortiz he killed Manolo Castro-Campos on 22 February 1948. He was also involved in the killing of a police officer Fernandez and in the murder case of Lionel Gomez.
Castro was involved in the Confetti Key invasion of the Dominican Republic on 20 September 1947, a rebellion staged by a terrorist student group. He was armed with a sub-machine gun (Hugh Thomas, "Cuba: Or Pursuit of Freedom", 1998, pp. 814-916).
The journalist Gerardo Reyes wrote in his article "Scotland Yard Investigated Castro for Assassination" (El Nuevo Herald, 10 April 2001), that Fidel Castro was considered one of the suspects in the murder of the Liberal Colombian leader Jorge Eliecer Gaitin by Scotland Yard detectives, who investigated the case in July 1948,according to American investigator Paul Wolf.
Castro made an appointment with presidential candidate Gaitan.
On 9 April 1947, at 11 a. m., Castro and his associate Del Pino met in the Cafeteria Colombia in Bogota with Gaitan's assassin, the 22 year old student leader and freemason Juan Roa Sierra, hours before he shot the politician in a central Bogota street. The assassination brought on riots where 5000 people died. CIA agents William A. Wieland and Robottom kept an eye on the events.
The Cuban Ambassador to Washington, Octavio Belt, was present in Bogota, and in charge of providing a plane for Castro and the other communist terrorists to return to Cuba.
Castro got his law degree in 1949 in Havana and thereafter worked as a lawyer. At this time he also became a freemason. He lacked principles, and labelled himself a 'revolutionary'. He found inspiration in the Spanish dictator Primo de Rivera. As long as the Cuban economy was thriving, he was unable to introduce communism.
Castro together with Batista planned all the details of Batista's takeover from 1948 to 1950, sometimes in Batista's villa Cookyness.
Batista was called a symbiant, because the only purpose for having him in power was to help Castro and the communist takeover. Castro received communist training in the Soviet Embassy in Havana from 1948 to 1949. Batista's coup on 10 March 1952 was like a bad TV movie repeated.
On 26 July 1953, Castro led an armed riot against the dictator Fulgencio Batista in Santiago de Cuba, which officially rendered him
a 15-year prison sentence. He was, however, granted amnesty in 1955, after which he moved to Mexico.
Exiled in Mexico, Castro got even more help from the communists.
Veterans of the red brigades of Spain trained Castro in Mexico. The Mexican press accused them of being communist terrorists. The socialist President Lazaro Cardenas and London's bankers protected them. Cardenas also provided them with some fancy weapons and several farms and security houses where to train and live.
Benjamin Vega published Castro's interviews in Alerta, a newspaper owned by Vasconcelos and Batista.
On 2 December 1956, he returned from Tuxpan together with 82
terrorists that landed near Belic-Niquero, Oriente, in Cuba intending to fight Batista with the support of the CIA.
The Cuban authorities monitored the landing. They did nothing, because Fidel Castro was in symbiosis with Batista.
Castro's permanent headquarters was at Hacienda Sevilla, the largest farm in Cuba, in the Sierra Maestra Mountains, east of Turquino Peak. Rockefeller's Standard Oil earlier owned Hacienda Sevilla.
The Americans were also able to supply Castro from Guantanamo Bay. US Marine ships were caught transporting supplies to Castro in Caimanera-Guantanamo in 1957.
To justify Batista's not using his air force for the only large military operation of the war, Plan "H", Castro had his brother Rasl kidnap fifty American citizens in the area. The American consul in Santiago on 18 July 1958, without authorization negotiated with the rebels the release of the hostages. He made Batista promise not to use his air force anymore, to which Batista gladly agreed.
William A. Wieland, who led the State Department's Caribbean office in Washington, told Earl Smith, who was ambassador to Havana in 1957: "Cuba has been assigned to you to oversee the fall of Batista. The decision has been made: Batista must go." (Earl Smith, "The Fourth Floor", New York, 1962)
Smith was not a freemason, and he wished to warn the American public against Castro. He was stopped, and the State Department began working behind his back.
On 17 December 1958, Batista in a meeting with high-ranking army officers who were not part of the conspiracy, made public that Ambassador Earl Smith had told Batista he had to go. News spread to all garrison commanders and ended the army's will to fight. The rebels had not taken a single garrison or important town by that
time.
In Havana, the CIA was very pro-Castro ("The Communist Threat to the USA through the Caribbean: Hearings of the Internal Security Sub-Committee, US Senate", Washington, D. C, 1959-62). Castro's main advocate was Herbert Matthews of The New York Times, who portrayed him as the T. E. Lawrence of the Caribbean.
In July 1959, Major Pedro Diaz Lanz, of the Cuban Air Force, toured the United States, and revealed that Castro was a communist.
This fact was kept out of the media. The State Department was purposely covering up Castro's communist connections, the fact that his supporters were trained by the Soviet Union, and that he was carrying out a communist revolution.
Suddenly, all arms sales to Cuba were stopped by the White House.
A shipment of rifles was intercepted in New York harbour (Paul Johnson, "Modern Times", New York, 1983). The United States was arming only one of the sides - Castro's "revolutionaries".The Cuban economy was deteriorating, and support for Castro was growing. Before the arms embargo he had counted no more than 300
terrorist followers.
Batista went into exile on the island of Madeira (Portugal) and died in Spain in the early 1970s.
After the communist accession to power on 8 January 1959, the freemason Fidel Castro closed all 339 masonic lodges in Cuba with roughly 35 000 members except for the Grand Orient, where he had himself been initiated in his youth. He later had all lodges reopened.
In 1998, Cuba had 314 lodges with a total of 24 000 members.
After seizing power Castro had 100 000 opponents imprisoned. Not until 1961 did he introduce communism. On 2 December 1961, Castro proclaimed: "I have been a communist since my teens."
After the fall of communism in the Soviet Union, Castro voiced his opinion that it is better to perish like Atlantis than to abolish socialism.
Robert Hill, US ambassador to Mexico, said under oath in a Senate hearing: "Individuals in the State Department, and individuals in The
New York Times, put Castro in power." These individuals included Robert McNamara, Theodore C. Sorenson, Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr,
Roy Rubottom, McGeorge Bundy, J. William Fulbright, Herbert Mattews, and Roger Hilsman.
The afore-mentioned William A. Wieland claimed that the authorities and the military intelligence knew in advance of Castro's plans to enforce communism. Even so, the American press portrayed him as a patriotic and benevolent leader. Several observers were of the opinion that the Bay of Pigs operation on 17 April 1961 intended to get rid of Castro, was a deliberate failure.
Earl E. Smith, the former US ambassador to Cuba, stated: "Castro
could not have seized power in Cuba without the aid of the United States.
American government agencies and the United States press played a
major role in bringing Castro to power... The State Department consistently intervened... to bring about the downfall of Batiste, thereby making
it possible for Fidel Castro to take over the government of Cuba." (Letter to the Editor, The New York Times, 26 September 1979, p. A 24).
The historian Jean Boyer stressed that Castro's money and arms did not come from Moscow but from the United States. It was President Eisenhower who helped Castro to power.
Castro exploited foreign aid to become rich. He has at least 32 houses in Cuba, three of which are in Havana. He and his assets are guarded by 9700 guards. He has at least 14 children by different women (Georgie Ann Geyer, "Guerilla Prince: The Untold Story of Fidel
Castro", Boston, 1991). Castro's personal fortune is estimated at nearly a billion dollars. He is four times richer than Queen Elizabeth II.

zooming back out again . . .

There's a confusion in what Leuren Moret says about the ancient origin of the people she says are the earlier identity of the papal and senate families of the Roman era. The confusion, for me, is that the Alexander/Ptolemaic era people came after the older Persian empire that Alexander conquered. If the Farnese (Pope Paul III and Fidel Castro) family goes back to the head protector of Alexander (The Great) who became the first Ptolemaic Pharaoh, that's not the original Persian empire ruling elite.

I found a few episodes of a TV documentary tracking Alexander's adventures to the east in Asia when he took over areas previously ruled by the Persians. He found very well established cultures rich and more sophisticated than what Alexander would have brought to the party.

In one part of Leuren's story she points to that previous culture and in another part she traced the Farnese line only to Alexander's sidekick Ptolemy. Maybe there's a more complicated and divided network of power player bloodlines to map out. After all, we've heard plenty of talk about power struggles at the 'top'.

This video of 3 episodes of the TV docuseries I mentioned might interest some. It hasn't answered my specific question about the origins I'm looking for but it filled in some background for me about the depth of history in the Asian region there is to consider.

I can respond to this from the other side.

This is what I would call my last link to western culture. I haven't been able to post this until recently re-discovering it.

The Taliban erased my memories of this in 1992.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/69/Tapa_Shotor_Buddha%2C_Herakles%2C_Tyche_%28Niche_V2%29.jpg



That's Buddha of Tapa Shotor, Afghanistan, my mentor.

Do you recognize the companions?

Herakles and Tyche.

Who are they guarded by?

Alexander the Great.

Alexander was revered in distant lands centuries after his death.

Does anyone get the message?

I don't think you do.

The Romans annihilated it.

This culture of syncretic iconography dominated all the way to Commagene, Anatolia, where it definitely marks the marriage of Persian and Greek cultures.

More specifically, it coincides with the Parthian Empire.

This is important, because it is during the 200s that Persia is overtaken by the Sassanians, who begin "reforms" in Zoroastrianism that, in their harshness, are about as sharp as the stuff produced by the nascent western church in this same era. And then by around 300, we can find official Zoroastrian, Jewish, and Christian texts, that are all basically telling each other to go to hell, which is "religion" as we know it today.

Obviously, this is the complete opposite of voluntarily "marrying" your culture to another, which is shown not only in Greek syncretism, but also that of Byblos to Egypt. Those are functional; friendly; accommodating.

So, from my view, I can communicate with anyone's "Herakles and Tyche", while whatever is coming out of the Bible is something severed, unfriendly, basically dead and irrelevant.

For example, in one of our Buddhist texts from ca. 500 the Roman "Denarius" is used, and then in a copy from around 700, nobody knew what it meant and it was edited.

In around the 1500s, Catholic colonists of India found some Roman relics and had no idea why they were there. It was all brand new to them.

It means that Buddhist and Indian relations with the west were so strong, that traders had outposts in Sri Lanka. But then over the back half of the Roman Empire, it disintegrates, and all we know of is a rather Patrician system that conquers Europe and constitutes a Dark Age. It gouged itself out of an inter-connectedness that pre-dates written records.

On that side, you have some intricate dirty politics such as Jews shifting political allegiance back and forth between the Persians and Romans. Astronomical fallacies about the conversion of the king of Edessa. A lot of what I would call intellectual problems.

But before they go extinct, you have the real Semites, the Mandeans. How so? They are actually devoted to Shem. In the so-called scriptures, what is he, a symbolic figurehead? In that case. he's been dumbed-down and bottled. That's why the Mandeans reject Abraham and Moses. Instead, by honoring Shem, they can be found as what is known as the Order of Melchizedek. This is sufficient to explain the Judaic deviations.

The Mandeans are actually attached to Greco-Parthian syncretism, whereas nothing Jewish ever is. They had several centuries to get themselves "counted" or "accepted" or something, so this mental attitude of difference is persistent.

Now, against the malefic "powers that be", we are arguing about the meaning of Victory.

All too frequently, this is understood in the martial context, and thus become a reason for attacking anybody.

To us, it has a philosophical meaning, which is a lot more fun and interesting.

It was so well-stitched together, the Chinese were coming out avidly interested in the Greeks.

Well, since I am interested in connecting and sharing as much as I can, I'll say that the main connective tissue could be summarized as The Olympics.

As most people know, this is a sports competition with the prospect of being a replacement for battle. The official "Olympic Games", before being shut down, also issued an edict preventing "pagans" from participating, probably because the Romans were getting heavily beaten by the Asians.

Greeks such as the Spartans were very good at this, and the Romans sucked.

The deciding factor was combat sports.

Greeks had wrestling, boxing, and a total combat called pankration. There was such a thing as stand-alone pankration halls, but there was no such thing as a "School" or "Gymnasium" that lacked one. This type of "educational system" was replicated across Asia. And so our Shaolin martial arts system would be a continuation of this pankration. But tell me how many of the incoming Roman schools match this. They don't. What I personally have is mostly akin to a high school education from Okinawa in the 1800s. Normalized. Same as before. But then everyone around me is "uneducated" or "ignorant" by this standard. That is why I am not like them or not part of their culture or system.

Our personalities were divorced by the year 600.

Before then, yes, there was a magnificent Asian cultural heritage, and the Greeks certainly contributed to it. Their philosophy and mathematics were used, and important deities are taken up by Buddha. According to Emperor Ashoka, our "Dharma" is Greek "Eusebia", which would have worked very well in classical Greece, but is watered-down to near meaninglessness by the Bible.

If we could have kept the results of this fusion, it would have been amazing. Instead, they have covered up the fact that it contains all the lessons about and against Oligarchy. This clear knowledge has been replaced with monolithic polemics that intellectually condemn other people.

A bit of 'notes' gathering and head-scratching.

I'm still trying to find a reason why Iran (Persia) might be so important as this global power grab matures and drops all it's veils.

Baha’i was founded in Persia (Iran, today) in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The first of its key figures was Siyyid Ali-Muhammad (1819 – 1850) (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?48724-Is-Crestone-Baca-Colorado---the-Vatican-City-of-the-New-World-Order---&p=540385&viewfull=1#post540385)


K. Maurice Strong’s (Occult) Religions Behind the United Nations’ Intended “Global Transformation.” Since the global power elite seems to be intent upon bringing in a “one world religion” with their “new world order,’ it might be a good idea to investigate and begin to understand the religious orientation of these ruling elite personages. In addition to his commitment to the New Age religion, Strong is a said to be a devout Baha’i and a Mason. The Baha’i faith embraces a humanistic philosophy and tries to unify all faiths, prophets and the entire human race. According to “Contender Ministries:”

The goal of the Baha’i faith and its leadership is for the world to become a single superstate with Baha’i as its religion. It’s no wonder Baha’i is promoted vigorously by the U.N. and plays a major part in all United Nations spiritual events.

In “The Baha’i Faith and Wicca - a comparison of Relevance in two emerging religions,” Lil Abdo outlines the history of the Baha’i faith:

Baha’i was founded in Persia (Iran, today) in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The first of its key figures was Siyyid Ali-Muhammad (1819 – 1850) titled ‘The Bab’ (The Gate). The teachings of the Bab, were seeped in traditional Islamic magic, His use of talismans and sigils, often in the shape of pentagrams, were the same as those Arab philosophers and occultists expounded. The Bab proclaimed himself to be the Promised One of Islam, the Qa’im, and said that his Mission was to alert people to the imminent advent of another Prophet, “Him Whom God shall make manifest”. This was Mirza Husayn-Ali (1817 – 1892) titled Baha’u’llah (The Glory of God) the Prophet-Founder of the Baha’i Faith who revealed some fifteen thousand Writings (referred to as Tablets) which include the revelation of the foundation principles of a “new world order of society founded on the unity of mankind, equality and justice.”

In addition to claiming most-favored prophet status, Baha'u'llah also claimed to be the second coming of Christ and the spirit of truth recorded in John 14:16. He viewed himself as the fulfillment of the coming of Maitreya, the Buddha from the Buddhist scripture, the Krishna for the Hindus, and a fulfillment of "the Day of God" from the Muslim Qur'an. In fact, the Baha'is believe all of the world’s religions have pointed to the coming of Baha'u'llah, and that during his era, a promised reign of peace will be established.

Conservative Christians, of course, claim that Baha’i is just one of many the world’s false religions. From ‘Contender Ministries:’

The Baha'i World Faith claims to be a religion of unique relevance to the modern world. Its emphasis upon rationalism, human rights, international peace, education, equality of the sexes, and the eradication of all forms of prejudice gives the Baha'i Faith a very broad base of appeal. The Baha'i cry for one world religion appeals to the ecumenical spirit of the age, especially in light of the continuing insistence that Baha'i are in perfect harmony with the Christian Faith.

Critics of Bahaism, however, point out its connections, not only with Wicca, or modern witchcraft, but also with British imperialism, Russia, Zionism, the Shah’s secret police, and Freemasonry (Wikipedia: ‘Political Accusations Against the Baha’i Faith’).
