On October 19, 1960, US President Dwight Eisenhower imposed an embargo on Cuba in an attempt to force the revolutionary government of Fidel Castro to follow Washington's instructions. Exactly one week later, on October 26, radio station Sobor, hosted by Francisco Greertz on the Swan Islands of the same name off the coast of Honduras in the Caribbean News program, broadcast the following message: "Mother, listen, the next law of the government will take your children from the ages of 5 to 18 years. Cuban mother, don't let yourself be separated from your child. 33 33 This is the government's new law, when it does, they will become monsters of materialism. Fidel intends to be Cuba's supreme mother." This radio station was a CIA propaganda asset under the leadership of David Atlee Phillips (Nicked Bishop), who effectively oversaw all US intelligence activities in Latin America and the Caribbean. According to the New York Times, Phillips participated in the overthrow of the CIA with the blessing of President Dwight Eisenhower of the government of Jacobo Arbenz Guzman in Guatemala in 1954. He was a lecturer in Havana and a businessman in Lebanon before going to Washington in 1960, when the CIA planned to duplicate Guatemala's feat in Cuba - a failed attempt at the Bay of Pigs. Mr. Phillips served as head of the House of the Dominican Republic and Rio de Janeiro. His last assignment was to lead a division in the Western Hemisphere, during which he said he ordered agents in Chile to distance themselves from the people who later implored President Allen. CIA agents spread the bogus parental rights law throughout Cuba, falsely claiming that Castro would place all children under the age of 20 in state custody.
