Episode125 History of Cuba Part 3 Published Oct 16, 2022
Episode 125 is the third in a multiple episode wander on the history of Cuba dating all the way back to the island’s conquest by Spain. We take you swiftly through hundreds of years of colonial rule that shaped the geopolitics of the region and defined its 20th century relationship with the United States. In today’s episode we cover the period from the beginning of the Cuban revolution of 1895 up through the coup by Bautista in the 1930’s and we also roll the tape back a bit to add to the rich history of American political desires to annex the island, which go all the way back to Thomas Jefferson’s time. It is here on this island nation where the story eventually converges around the modern Cubans, CIA men and the mafia. All in one place. Join us in this continuing miniseries on Cuban history as we continue to set the stage before we explore the forces that were shaping the world in that era of the twentieth century. It’s history that immerses us in the Cuban story whose politics, geography, and economic circumstances would all collide and create an epicenter of geopolitical consequences. Consequences that would intersect in a crescendo right at the moment that JFK was coming to the Presidency. Understanding the leadup and history of Cuba is critical to this part of the journey that is JFK the Enduring Secret. Enjoy! Jeff
Hey Jeff what about David Ferrie? He’s the key to this whole mystery in my opinion. Why isn’t there an episode about him?
Absolutely loving the podcast mate.
Keep going pal, love from St Helens UK

Hello Sir! Hope you’re having a good day! I was just curious on your take of the Judyth Vary Baker take of this story?
Hi Sonya,
There are many highly respected researchers that have made some critical comments about the accurac of her statements and work on assassination research. I don’t have much of an opinion on her yet but may say more when we get to her on an episode. I have her on the list to review.
Thanks for reaching out!
