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

And then at that time, people think, what happened to Juan Roca?

Was he kidnapped or murdered by Cuban intelligence?

And then he shows up a couple days later or a couple weeks later in Havana, and he holds a press conference, and he says, I would never betray my country.

And lo and behold, it turns out this guy was a spy the whole time.

The whole thing was –

And Cuban intelligence operation, they, you know, steals this MiG, you know, shows up in Cuba, I mean, shows up in Miami, ingratiates himself and is passing intelligence the entire time to Cuba.

And what I thought was interesting about that

episode in history was in part his language at that press conference.

He doesn't say, I would never betray the revolution.

He says, I would never betray my country, right?

And that gets at this question of sovereignty and patriotism and this, you know,

Like that side of the anti-imperialism of Cuba.

That's not all about socialism.

It's also about just regardless of what the political economy is, who owns the means of production, a lot of Cubans don't want to be dominated by the United States.

And the US, on the other hand, is like, wait a minute, this set of institutions, this political party, this scene needs to pay for defeating us at the Bay of Pigs, defeating us several times in Africa.

And so when John Ratcliffe went to Cuba about a month ago, head of the CIA goes to Cuba about a month ago.

They want to, and then they do, indict Raul Castro, who is now 95.

They indict him for the killing of these four pilots from Boats to the Rescue from 1992.

I don't know.

To me, it just seems like a tell.
