If you read deep into the JFK assassination, you’ll find that New Orleans and not Miami was essentially the headquarters for the Cuban government in exile.
Remember on the Nixon tapes when E. Howard Hunt was mentioned and Nixon said something to the degree of: Good lord not him, that will open up the whole Bay of Pigs thing again. Look into E. Howard Hunt and his connections to New Orleans and Cuban exiles...
I really hoped that some ambitious “journalist” would have picked up and run with that story about Rafael Cruz. I don’t think its gonna take much to get to the bottom of that. But it seems everyone has been scared off. Unless Wayne Madsen is still working on it secretly.
Delta still showed New Orleans - Havana - Caracas on their route maps well into the 1960s.
