Cuba certainly had very good reasons for targeting JFK. They were thrown under the bus by the Soviets to resolve the Cuban Missile Crisis based on only a verbal promise not to invade Cuba.Meanwhile the assassination plots and sabotage raids continued. JFK continued to make bellicose speeches regarding Cuba as recently as a few days before his assassination. Rolando Cubella was being recruited as an assassin of Castro as a prelude to a coup which would be the pretext to a US invasion. That Cubella was not executed but merely imprisoned and later released and allowed to leave tge country suggests he was reporting this back to Castro.

Castro’s G2 had thoroughly penetrated the exile groups which is why so many of their efforts failed. Even today we are still uncovering Cuban moles that have been embedded in US intelligence for decades.

It’s possible that Castro personally may not have known about the plots. There is no reason to suspect that G2 could have rogue elements like what has been alleged of the CIA.

KB-

I largely concur with your observations.

In fact, LBJ's directive to the WC, to pursue the LN narrative, is often thought to have suffocated leads into the usual villains---the CIA, or others---but the instruction also snuffed out pursuit of leads into G2 or the KGB.

Moreover, we have had decades of people combing through available US documents and files, without conclusion...but who truly knows what is in Cuban or Russian files?

Or if any paper documents were kept regarding such an assassination?

My best guess is the JFKAC was a very small, two guys in G2 or Alpha 66, and the Alpha 66'ers could have been G2'ers or double agents. The pair worked with, or manipulated LHO.

Just IMHO.

Caveat emptor and draw your own conclusions.
