Rebel, heretic, thing to flout —
But love and I had the wit to win —

Global Warming Set to Release Permafrost Carbon
Russian report on global warming effect on permafrost carbon release (in top US journal Science); projects release of 90% of permafrost carbon as methane or carbon dioxide, this hugely exacerbating the greenhouse effect.

From:
Ultimate Sacrifice: John and Robert Kennedy, the Plan for a Coup in Cuba, and the murder of JFK
by Lamar Waldron with Thom Hartmann 2005
page 128
...According to a declassified memo...McGeorge Bundy - told LBJ after the assassination that the "November 18 [1963] speech" by "President Kennedy...was designed to encourage anti-Castro elements within Cuba to revolt."5
Journalist Gus Russo wrote that "according to CIA Officer Seymour Bolton, President Kennedy personally approved the secret-encoded message" for the Miami speech and "Bolton told a congressional investigator that he personally carried the key paragraph from CIA headquarters to the White House for Kenneddy's approval."6...speech was crafted and fine-tuned at JFK's Palm Beach estate...even as JFK worked on his crucial speech, two Cuban exiles had taken the house next to JFK - and one of the exiles would make an unusually early call to Harry Williams about Lee Harvey Oswald after JFK's assassination...
page 157
...Somoza continued to secretly deal with Carlos Prio, an associate of Santo Trafficante and Jack Ruby...After JFK's assassination, the Somozas and Artime would be linked to many demonstrably false stories linking Oswald and Ruby to Castro.59 A Warren Commission document says the false stories were designed to "cause the USA to take action against Castro."60 Also, these stories raised the specter that Castro had killed JFK in retaliation for C-Day [U.S. covert coup of Cuba in progress at the time of his assassination], and helped to prevent a thorough investigation of JFK's death...
A CIA memo kept from law enforcement agencies by CIA Director George H.W. Bush in 1976, cited here for the first time in any book, shows one way Artime's part of C-Day could have been infiltrated and used by the Mafia. The memo says that at the same time Manuel "Artime and his group were supported by the CIA," Artime "was used by the Mafia in the Castro operation." That is a refere3nce to the CIA-Mafia plots, which included Santo Trafficante and Johnny Roselli...
Mafia chiefs' plan to penetrate C-Day and use it against JFK worked all too well...
...the Kennedys and Harry were using certain exile leaders in C-Day without telling them critical information. So it's possible that just prior to - and shortly after - JFK's death, Artime was being directed to take certain actions that he felt would put him in a better position for C-Day, without realizing that those actions were part of the plot to kill JFK.
However, Artime's activities and associates in future years certainly put him in a position to learn or suspect...yet he continued those associations. As detailed in later chapters, Artime was involved with associates of mob bosses Johnny Roselli and Santo Trafficante, and a protege of Artime became one of Florida's biggest drug kingpins shortly after Artime's death. In 1977, Artime talked briefly with Congressional investigator Gaeton Fonzi, who wanted Artime to testify about his work for the Kennedys and the JFK assassination.66 However, Artime became ill and died before he could give his testimony...
page286
..."another weapons trafficker" cited by Roselli's biographers, a "soldier of fortune" named "Frank Fiorini, who later gained fame as one of the Watergate burglars" and who "maintained intermittent contacts with both the CIA and Santo Trafficante." Fiorini - who later used the name Frank Sturgis - would be on the fringe of the Mafia's penetration of C-Day...
page 298
... Most scholars today don't buy the "lone Communits nut" theory of the Armas assassination. Even at the time, a history of Guatemala says that "there were whispers that mobsters from the United States, angered by" President Armas's "harassment of their incipient casino business, were responsible."27
...David Atlee Phillips, one of the original CIA agents who first brought Armas to power, later planned to use the same patsy technique. This was in 1971, for an attempt to assassinate Castro in Chile using Antonio Veciana, a close associate of C-Day exile leader Eloy Menoyo. Veciana says the plan "was similar to the Kennedy assassination. Because the person that" David Phillips had "assigned to kill Castro was going to get planted with papers to make it appear that he was a Moscow...agent and then he would himself be killed."
Roselli and Marcello were apparently happy with the results of the assassination. The new dictator not only went along with Marcello's false claim of Guatemalan citizenship, but he would initially welcome Marcello Guatemala after the mobster was unceremoniously deported there by Bobby Kennedy in 1961..
page 306
... Many of those in the CIA and the Mafia who would try to kill Castro in 1959 and later had actually been helping Castro just a year earlier...sense of betrayal - at having helped Fidel, only to have him seemingly turn against them - provided their shared motivation to kill him...
A major investigative report in Rolling Stone found that "when Castro began his revolution in the Cuban hills, Ruby initially supported him and sold him US-made weapons."4 Jack Ruby wasn't high in the Mafia...
page 390
...1960 election fast approaching, Nixon needed the boost that toppling Castro would provide. While the CIA plotted Castro's assassination with Rosselli and Trafficante, Carlos Marcello and Jimmy Hoffa were also trying to help Nixon. Around the time of the first JFK-Nixon debate, Bobby Kennedy's most trusted Hoffa informant witnessed a meeting in New Orleans between Marcello and Hoffa. THe purpose of the meeting was a suitcase filled with $500,000 in cash destined for Nixon - only half of a promised $1,000,000 contribution organized by the two.3 Rosselli, on the other hand, played both sides so he would have an advantage no matter who won the presidency - he introduced Senator John F. Kennedy to a lovely young woman named Judith Campbell, who was also close to Rosselli's boss Sam Giancana and Frank Sinatra...
page 739
...Hoover would erroneously tell "Bobby Kennedy that Oswald went to Cuba on several occasions, but would not tell us what he went to Cuba for."40
page 786
...exiles who risked their lives for a cause they believed in.
