The Jimmy Dore Show · The Real Reason U.S. Wants To Crush Cuba! w/ Christian Parenti · 6 Jul 2026 podcast

It's amazing what, prior to that one operation in Venezuela, it's amazing what the Cuban intelligence managed to do.

And so I think that's a key part of it.

And I think the tell in all of that, like the psychological tick coming from the CIA, is that they're making a big deal of the four pilots who were killed back in 1992 working with an NGO out of Florida called Brothers to the Rescue.

And what happened with that was

There was a Cuban pilot, government of Cuba pilot, who defected in 1992.

The Soviet Union has just collapsed.

Everyone's looking at their watch.

Cuba's next to go.

This guy defects with a MiG jet to Miami.

And he ingratiates himself to the right wing there, ends up marrying the daughter of one of these Bay of Pigs veterans and infiltrating this group, Brothers to the Rescue, which was nominally a kind of humanitarian propaganda operation that sought to propagandize in Cuba, drop leaflets in Cuba, criticizing the revolution.

the Cuban government maintained that this was a CIA-affiliated terrorist organization.

It was just one of the many operations that they've been suffering from for years.

Operation Mongoose, all these assassination attempts, biological warfare against their crops, on and on and on.

I mean, it's all very well documented.

And so that's the light in which the Cuban government saw the Brothers to the Rescue.

And so

This guy, Juan Roca, who was the pilot who defected and becomes this right winger and kind of a celebrity in the scene, disappears.

And then two days later, two planes from Brothers to the Rescue in 1992 are headed towards Cuba and they're shot down by the Cuban government.

Cuban government's like, turn around, get out of here.

They refused, and they get shot down.
