“Cuba Experts” in mighty fine company!
Amigos, I call your attention to the fine folks who attempted to incinerate and entomb thousand upon thousands of Holiday shoppers during the Macy's Day Parade in 1962, as reported by the New York Times on Nov. 18th 1962:
Amigos, I call your attention to the fine folks who provide invaluable assistance to the books written by the Council on Foreign Relations "Cuba Expert" Julia Sweig, and published by Harvard Univ. Press--as acknowledged by the 'expert" author herself in the widely-heralded book's own acknowledgments:
"In Cuba many people spent long hours with me, helped open doors I could not have pushed through myself, and offered friendship and warmth to myself during research trips to the island...Jose Gomez Abad championed this project.."
We will certainly look for the MSM to pick up on this tantalizing tid-bit of bait.
We don't call you "The Surgeon" for nothing...
