When I look at some of the ideas they came up with, I have to assume it was actually just a cunning plan for America to keep their more deranged inventors, schemers and general crazy folk occupied and out of trouble until and unless Uncle Sam needed their unique thought processes.

It was all managed through a proper chain of command so that they knew the plan and could inform Castro and he could avoid it. After all, they didn't want the plans to succeed, or they'd need a different way to keep those people occupied.

For the more serious folks, and those who know about this, this post is a bit of whimsy, it's not serious.
