Kennedy fired Dulles over the Bay of Pigs operation— an operation deliberately designed to fail and engineered to pressure Kennedy into full scale war with Cuba. Dulles deliberately used CIA officers for the operation of the lowest third of the agency that did not even speak Spanish. The CIA officers had Arabic and German experience and went to Guatemala to train the Brigaidistas and Miami to train the Cuban exiles. Director of Central Intelligence Allen Dulles designed the Bay of Pigs to fail in collusion with Chief of Naval Operations Arleigh Burke and Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff Lyman Lemnitzer to push JFK into sending soldiers to invade Cuba and to back the rebels with U.S. bombing, in other words start a U.S. invasion of Cuba. In an act of insubordination to civilian control of the military, Leimetzer sent two battalions of soldiers on Navy destroyers off the coast of Cuba waiting to invade without first consulting Kennedy. After the Bay of Pigs fiasco was over, Kennedy fired Dulles and after releasing Dulles from his position, the CIA Director retired to his private mansion/layer estate where various of his former colleague spooks were seen coming and going in late 1961 after he was no longer with the company. President Lyndon Johnson, who, in service of the war masters, escalated the Vietnam war after getting Congress to pass the Tonkin Gulf Resolution in response to the deliberately staged Tonkin Gulf Incident, assigned Allen Dulles to investigate Kennedy’s death and propound the lone gunman theory as part of the Warren Commission Investigation. Kennedy didn’t want to send 60,000 soldiers to Laos to block the Ho Chi Minh trail since he received estimates that doing so wouldn’t make any difference in the fighting ability of the North Vietnamese or the National Liberation Front. CIA-backed General Phoumi Nosavan brought opium in from Burma and Kennedy’s cutting off of aid to the Royal Laotian government to bring Boun Oum and Nosavan into the coalition government and negotiating with neutralists and communists brought on the anger of the Joint Chiefs who wanted escalated war and the CIA wanted continued access to the opium trade. When Kennedy cut off aid, the Boun Oum Royal Laotian government and General Phoumi and the CIA relied even more on this illicit drug trade to finance their government. General Phoumi Nosavan was involved in the illicit opium trade of the Golden Triangle, so he wanted war since more war meant more covert operations and more covert operations lead to an increase in opium cultivation, so through sending in invading soldiers, this gave the CIA and General Phoumi Nosavan a guaranteed market for their opium through selling the drug to the troops. Kennedy believed that the CIA deliberately designed the Bay of Pigs to fail to lead the executive into further invading Cuba using invading soldiers and accelerated bombing of Cuba. Kennedy didn’t want to make a move in Laos which was so far if they didn’t make a move against Cuba, which was 90 miles away. CIA Director John McCone was against the Laos negotiations. The CIA deliberately tried to provoke Kennedy into invading Laos through building up General Phoumi Nosavan’s forces at the northwest provincial capital of Laos, Nam Tha. Kennedy advised eight weeks before that building these forces up would invite a Pathet Lao attack and the Phoumi wouldn’t have the ability to supply his soldiers in the rainy season. The CIA wanted the Pathet Lao attack on the concentration of Phoumi’s troops because this provided the rational for the U.S. invasion of Laos that Kennedy didn’t want. Kennedy expelled CIA agent John Hasey from Laos. The CIA through promoting the concentration of General Phoumi’s forces in Nam Tha to invite an attack wanted the destruction of the army it created to pressure Kennedy into invading Laos. This was a deliberate invitation of a Pathet Lao attack and CIA agents and State Department agents were against Kennedy’s attempted formation of a coalition government featuring rightists, neutralists and communists.
