A good follow-up would be to end trying to overthrow their government, and turn it all back to the people, or their offspring, who caused the revolution in the first place with their virulent racist, classist, utterly dishonest, brutal treatment of the vast majority of Cubans, the same people who ran the Death Squads, and dropped bombs on the revolutionary fighters, and attempted, even after bloody dictator Batista bailed, having emptied the Cuban Treasury, to send out assassins to try to murder the wave of young teachers who were going out into the country side, staying up at night with lanterns, if needed, in teaching those who didn't know, how to read and write, the same people who set the crops on fire, and dropped chemicals on the livestock, people, in chemical warfare, which was acknowledged in a murder trial of Eduardo Arocena, after he and others in Omega 7 murdered a Cuban diplomat to the UN, Felix Garcia Rodriguez, at a stoplight. He admitted he had carried chemicals to Cuba for the CIA.

September 10, 1984: Anti-Castro Cuban Testifies Ship with Germs Sent to Cuba in 1980
Eduardo Arocena, leader of the Cuban-exile militant group OMEGA-7, testifies during his trial in New York that in the latter part of 1980 a ship traveled from Florida to Cuba with “a mission to carry some germs to introduce them in Cuba to be used against the Soviets and against the Cuban economy, to begin what was called chemical war, which later on produced results that were not what we had expected, because we thought that it was going to be used against the Soviet forces, and it was used against our own people, and with that we did not agree.” The testimony is later used by some to support the allegation that Cuba’s 1981 Dengue fever epidemic, which infected 300,000 and killed 154, was the result of US biowarfare.

US Bacterial War Details
J. Clancy. 5 June, 1997
A previous post from details provided by the Cuban Foreign Ministry described the recent release of Thrips Palmi insect over Cuban vegetable growing areas. Granma writer Rodolfo Casals has now provided the history of those attacks. But it is fair to remember that the Miami Mafia appears to act as an independent agent of the US Administration, while providing large financial help to both Democrats and Republicans.
"The US State Dept denies the veracity of these Thrip facts, alleging that "it has not committed a single act of violation of the 1972 agreement on chemical and biological weapons. Cuba maintains that all the following accusations against successive Administations have been confirmed over time from US information releases. In the early 1960's US Intelligence Services and the military began to elaborate plans for biological warfare, which have included blights that attack food crops, sugar cane defoliants, bacteria that thwart sugar cane cultivation and the interruption of rain by highly sophisticated methods.
In 1962, the CIA designed an operation known as Mongoose with the goal of destroying the Cuban Revolution. The opera- tion's strategies included the use of military force, sabotage and the assassination of the nation's leaders, as well as the introduction of nonlethal chemical agents that would cause illness among sugarcane workers (hundreds of thousands of persons) and keep them off work for a period of 24-48 hours.
The Long Island newspaper NEWSDAY revealed in 1971 that a virus originating in Fort Gulik, in the Panama Canal Zone, had been delivered by fishing boat to agents working against Cuba.
A book entitled,'The Fish is Red', for its part, reports that in 1972, CIA agents first introduced the African swine fever virus that decimated Cuba's livestock population. It is estimated that more than half million pigs were sacrificed, burned and buried to combat the epidemic.
Several years later, NEWSDAY reported that a biological warfare program aimed against poultry production in Cuba had failed, for reasons not revealed.
Between 1979 and 1981, four destructive diseases were unleashed that seriously affected individuals and crops vital to the Cuban economy: hemorrhagic conjunctivitis, dengue fever, sugar cane rust and tobacco blue mould. COVERT ACTION a Washington based publication, stated that as part of the CIA-Pentagon anti-Cuban arsenal, a disease known as hemorrhagic dengue was introduced on the island, where it infected hundreds of thousands of people, leaving 158 dead -including 101 children.
