The Bay of Pigs invasion was just one of the many ways John F. Kennedy tried to destabilize Fidel Castro’s regime, though the President’s other methods were more cloak-and-dagger, such as hiring mobsters to poison Castro, deploying saboteurs, and secretly organizing a coup. Despite Kennedy’s actions, and Lyndon Johnson’s reversal of these plots, the Warren Commission concluded that JFK’s assassination had nothing to do with his Cuba policy.
