Fidel Castro: Osama Bin Laden Is A US Agent

Fidel Castro says al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden is a bought-and-paid-for CIA agent who always popped up when former President George W. Bush needed to scare the world, arguing that documents recently posted on the Internet prove it.

"Any time Bush would stir up fear and make a big speech, bin Laden would appear threatening people with a story about what he was going to do," Castro told state media during a meeting with a Lithuanian-born writer known for advancing conspiracy theories about world domination. "Bush never lacked for bin Laden's support. He was a subordinate."

Castro said documents posted on WikiLeaks.org - a website that recently released thousands of pages of classified documents from the Afghan war - "effectively proved he was a CIA agent." He did not elaborate.

The comments, published in the Communist Party daily Granma on Friday, were the latest in a series of provocative statements by the 84-year-old revolutionary, who has emerged from seclusion to warn that the planet is on the brink of nuclear war.

Castro even predicted the global conflict would mean cancellation of the final rounds of the World Cup last month in South Africa. He later apologized for jumping the gun. Last week, he began highlighting the work of Daniel Estulin, who wrote a trilogy of books highlighting the Bilderberg Club, whose prominent members meet once a year behind closed doors.The secretive nature of the meetings and prominence of some members - including former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, senior U.S. and European officials, and major international business and media executives - have led some to speculate that it operates as a kind of global government, controlling not only international politics and economics, but even culture.

During the meeting, Estulin told Castro that the real voice of bin Laden was last heard in late 2001, not long after the Sept. 11 attacks. He said the person heard making warnings about terror attacks after that was a "bad actor."

You may laugh or think Fidel is losing it, but he's telling the truth in that Osama, who had kidney disease and on dialysis Rx in Pakistan around 9-11-2001, has had close contact/ties with the CIA. (His location was never a secret, but to the public.) Osama's elite Saudi family, after all, has had good relations with the U.S.

About a nuclear war, Noam Chomsky might publicly agree with Fidel and Obama might, if he were honest, in private. In fact, Chomsky has recently wrote about this very topic in the sense that bunker busters are being stockpiled for a war with Iran (or Yemen or whatever country U.S. military/gov't decides is doing what it shouldn't).

By the way, did you know that "Granma" was the name of the single over-loaded boat that Che and Fidel and about 80 others took to "invade" and overthrow the government of Cuba in the early 1950s?

It's kind of neat story, because they nearly capsized and actually got lost leaving Guatemala on their journey to Cuba. They ended up stuck in the mangrove swamp and had to wade through thigh-deep mud in their "invasion."

Compare this invasion to the U.S.-military trained personnel who manned the nice clean ships loaned by the United Fruit Company in their unsuccessful invasion of the Bay of Pigs during the Kennedy administration. We're talking a world of differences.
