cuba — The Podcast — Beyond Reproach

STEPHANIE introduces her favorite scandal from earlier seasons of Beyond Reproach—Episode 14: Operation Mongoose. This was the code name for the Cuban Project, the US government-sponsored terrorism campaign whose sole mission was to topple the Castro regime through a series of preposterous covert plots and unbelievable harebrained schemes.

Stephanie chronicles the Cuban Project code name: Operation Mongoose, the secret US government-sponsored terrorism campaign blessed by JFK whose sole mission was to topple the Castro regime.

Stephanie details Operation Northwoods. It is by a wide margin the most sinister mission that spun out of the JFK administration. It was that time we undeniably planned to trick the American public into supporting a war with Cuba.

Tux talks impeachment y’all! He tells the story of a president who travelled the country fanning the flames of racism, division and hatred. A president who viewed his opponents with open and vocal disdain. A president who was stubborn and combative and hostile when the country really needed unity and leadership. A president who worked hard to undo the achievements of his predecessor using executive power. This president, of course, is Andrew Johnson.
