FINANCED BY TIIE CIA -- La Paz, Unidad, 16 March 1965
The Central Intelligence Agency of the USA "manages" some.
120 of the 500 organizations of Cuban counterrevolutionaries who
have united a small number of followers. The most important
instrument of the CIA is its well-equipped propaganda apparatus
which it directs against Cuba and the rest of Latin America.
Recently, "Voice of America" considerably extended its
broadcasts to Latin America in Spanish and Portuguese. At the
same time some groups of Cuban counterrevolutionaries led by
Manuel Artime, former chief of the Batista secret police, use
a transmitter operating from a ship which does not travel under
any flag. It is called "Radio Free Cuba" and it can be heard
throughout the Caribbean. The Radio is financed by the Central
Intelligence Agency although the exile groups consider themselves
owners of the.station. The transmitter, created in the likeness
and image of Radio Free Europe, is operated by Northamerican
political advisers, and furthermore, the radio propaganda from
Puerto Rico is of course well.rewarded.
But the CIA created something else: it created the ATP,
that is the Interamerican Press Agency. The director of the
agency with headquarters in Miami is a Cuban counterrevolutionary
but the real director is a Northamerican whose name is kept
secret. It is known that this Northamerican keeps close ties
with the CIA. .
