Operation Peter Pan: how the USA transferred 14 thousand children out of Cuba under false pretenses by weavilsatemyface in DownTheMemoryHole

No, you’re literally lying in your post and comment. The church didn’t make up anything, they were told things or believed it would go a certain way due to what the Cuban government was implying and saying. Most of the propaganda was put forth by Cuban people afraid of communism, the American government only started doing it after other people brought it up to them.

They weren’t false pretenses, certain things did not occur, other things did occur. The government was taking over schools, businesses, and cracking down on religion, all true.

Once again, that’s not true. Most boys did not go to that, most boys met up with their contacts within the expected time, over 90% were reunited in the expected time(which wasn’t months). You’re literally lying and relying on one or two dudes who had a bad time when the vast majority didn’t do that.

You’re just a hateful dude that sees one stupid biased news article and thinks that’s the truth. What a sad person you are.

That’s a pretty negative take on the whole thing. Most of the parents doing it were middle class and most of the kids were teens, over 90% reunited with parents too. These weren’t families supporting Batista, that group already left.

You’re framing it like it was some evil thing, when in the end most people who did it did it because they saw terrible events occurring and some to occur(some of which were false, but not all).

Only people who wouldn’t think it was a success would be commies, because it points out how scary their country was.

Oh look at that, your first link is stupid biased and prides itself as “anti-imperialist” and “for the class” based in Venezuela, yea, I wonder why they would twist it that way.
