"Declassified." The following messages were sent by the British
ambassador in the United States to the British Foreign Office. These telegrams include
conversations held between Allen Dulles, then director of the CIA, in which he suggests a plot to prevent British arms sales to
Cuba, in order to oblige Cuba to obtain arms from the Soviet Union. He ties the events to
what occurred in Guatemala, when the Arbenz government's purchases of arms from the
socialist countries served as a pretext for U.S. military invasion. This declassified
document was presented to the Cuban press by Thomas S. Blanton, director of National
Security Archive affiliated with George Washington University. |

"For this great mass of humanity has said, "Enough!" and has begun to march. And their march of giants will not be halted until they conquer true independence for which they have vainly died more than once. Today, however, those who die will die like the Cubans at Playa Girón. They will die for their own true and never-to-be-surrendered independence." |
