CIA was directly involved in the ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”Bay of PigsƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ invasion in Cuba in 1961. Ever since Castro assumed power in Cuba, United States launched multiple attempts to kill Fidel Castro so that they could continue their imperial march into Americas. One of the more open acts of the era was the launch of a pirate radio station to misinform the Cubans by the CIA. The radio was called ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-Swan RadioƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ as it was based in Swan Island near the coastline of Honduras.

Ironically, Fonseka uses Swan as his symbol. It is not clear whether there is some irony in selecting this symbol or whether someone selected it for him. However, as it happened in the famous ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”Bay of PigsƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ invasion, Castro victoriously called it the ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”First Imperial Defeat in AmericasƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢ and the whole Cubans galvanized their support behind him. The CIA believed and assured their leaders that the opposition groups will rally behind them once the invasion was launched. However, Castro who took charge of the command of the military himself managed to outmaneuver the invading forces and capture 1100 of the invading forces who were eventually repatriated to the USA.

The fallout was disastrous for the newly elected President Kennedy and an utter humiliation in the international stage. The history is going to repeat itself with a different setup. We hear the talk of the ambassadors in someoneƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s backyard regularly meeting to move the pawns. Cash is plenty and some people have a price. Despite invasions over 2500 years, we have emerged again in one piece and will be victorious once more and the puppeteers of the west will be humiliated along with their puppets among us.
