“Me and my staff were all Fidelistas!” CIA Cuba desk chief from 1957-60, Robert Reynolds, boasting to Fidel Castro himself in Havana, March 2001 — –“Then Reynolds is obviously a traitor/defector like the Brit Kim Philby?” you say–(HAH! Nothing of the sort! Instead the CIA PROMOTED Reynolds!)….Le RRRRONCA!!!

“Me  and my staff were all Fidelistas!” (Robert Reynolds,  March 2001, Havana, Cuba.)

“I congratulated him (KGB-trained  Cuban Secret Police chief and mass-torturer Ramiro Valdes) on the effectiveness of their system.” (Robert Reynolds, March 2001, Havana Cuba.) 

So who is this Robert  Reynolds,  you ask?  Some seriously “woke” Berkley  political science professor? Some  seriously “woke” scribe  for The Nation or Mother  Jones?

Nope. In fact Robert Reynolds was a prominent and powerful CIA officer.

“Then he’s obviously a defector to our enemies?” you say. “Kinda  like the famous Brit commie traitor Kim Philby?…Either that, or we nabbed him before he could slip away and he’s in prison, probably Sing Sing like the Rosenbergs!”

HAH!–nope again. In fact  Robert Reynolds  was the  CIA Caribbean Desk’s “chief specialist on the Cuban Revolution” from 1957-1960.

(”Without U.S. help Fidel Castro would never have gotten into power,” former U.S. Ambassador to Cuba Earl T. Smith during congressional testimony in 1960.)

So–apparently owing to Reynold’s brilliant plan of HELPING Fidel Castro and Che Guevara into power–Reynolds was PROMOTED to “station chief” in 1961 at the CIA’s Miami station, when  it was the “biggest and busiest CIA station on earth.” Along with the aforementioned honors and privileges, Reynolds  also served as busy-as-a-beaver  “deputy chief of the CIA’s Cuba Task Force in 1961.”

Any more questions why Fidel Castro died peacefully in bed at 90?

“Le RRRRRRRRRRRONCA!!!!“
