In Venezuela the intimidation of newspapers and television reporters has begun with the goal to eliminate freedom of expression. The indoctrination of children into communist ideology has begun. And the political subversion of the students of the Central University of Venezuela. And the creation of Castro-type militias and security apparatus trained by Cuba. And the creation of the infamous – Nazi Germany inspired – citizens committees to spy on the inhabitants of each city block.  73 words 

With a goal of eliminating freedom of expression, the government in Venezuela has begun to intimidate newspaper and television reporters, indoctrinate children in communist ideology, and politically subvert students at the Central University of Venezuela. More ominously, they have created Castro-style militias and a security apparatus trained by Cuba; and --inspired by Nazi Germany-- the infamous citizens committees that spy on their neighbors in every city block. 68 words

 

There is even this note from the Miami Herald written by David Kraslow of its Washington Bureau, published on Sunday, Sept. 22, 1963 on page 6-A, titled CASTRO LINKED TO ‘ALARMING’ COCAINE TRAFFIC? It says: "Fidel Castro is more than a Cold War headache to the United States. Federal narcotics officials said Saturday they can date an ‘alarming rise’ in the cocaine traffic into the U.S. from Castro’s accession to power in Cuba. And federal officials say it may be that Castro is relying on dope smuggling to get badly needed dollars for foreign exchange that he could not otherwise obtain." 101 words
