Reversing: The CIA Bay of Pig

Mau pilih Castro atau Kennedy atau the Exiles?

The Bay of Pigs
The Bay of Pigs Invasion was an unsuccessful attempt by United States-backed Cuban exiles to overthrow the government of the Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. Increasing friction between the U.S. government and Castro's leftist regime led President Dwight D. Eisenhower to break off diplomatic relations with Cuba in January 1961. Even before that, however, the Central Intelligence Agency had been training anti-revolutionary Cuban exiles for a possible invasion of the island. The invasion plan was approved by Eisenhower's successor, John F. Kennedy.

On April 17, 1961 about 1300 exiles, armed with U.S. weapons, landed at the Bahía de Cochinos (Bay of Pigs) on the southern coast of Cuba. Hoping to find support from the local population, they intended to cross the island to Havana. It was evident from the first hours of fighting, however, that the exiles were likely to lose. President Kennedy had the option of using the U.S. Air Force against the Cubans but decided against it. Consequently, the invasion was stopped by Castro's army. By the time the fighting ended on April 19, 90 exiles had been killed and the rest had been taken as prisoners.

The failure of the invasion seriously embarrassed the young Kennedy administration. Some critics blamed Kennedy for not giving it adequate support and others for allowing it to take place at all. The captured exiles were later ransomed by private groups in the U.S.

Additionally, the invasion made Castro wary of the U.S. He was convinced that the Americans would try to take over the island again. From the Bay of Pigs on, Castro had an increased fear of a U.S. incursion on Cuban soil.

Asal Sabah Adalah Milik Orang Islam yang Bersultan

Angkara British-Belanda-Sepanyol, maka porak-perandalah sistem beraja di Nusantara ini termasuklah di Borneo Utara atau Sabah yang kita kenali hari ini. Ia asalnya milik sebuah kerajaan Melayu Islam dan bukan milik Kristian. Begitu juga di Filipina yang asalnya diperintah oleh Kerajaan Melayu Islam (bukti pernah di paparkan oleh History Channel satu ketika dahulu) sebelum dijajah Kafir Sepanyol  yang telah membenamkan Moor Andalusia. 

(Dan nama sultan yang pernah memerintah Filipina mengikut rekod kami adalah bernama Sultan Syed Ismail ibni Raja Kemboja Sultan Muzaffar Syah 3 yang berpusat di Manila atau 'Fiamanillah' maksudnya Dalam Lindungan Allah taala. Baginda adalah adik beradik Panglima Bukit Gantang Syed Alang Alaudin Kedah-Perak dan juga adik beradik kepada Syed Mohammad Hatta Raja Perlis yang pertama. Sultan Ismail adalah cucu kepada Tengku Suria Marin anak perempuan Raja Langkat yang menjadi permaisuri kepada Khalifah Syarif Syah yang mana kedua-duanya adalah Korban Musuh Bisik yang mangkat diperlamenan di Kota Mengkuang 1821 akibat serangan hendap Sukhotai.)

Maka akibat itu orang Islam di Filipina dan Borneo disebut Moro yang bermaksud Moor atau orang Islam oleh orang Sepanyol. Maka lahirlah Bangsamoro atau dalam istilah lainnya bermaksud Bangsa (yang beragama) Islam. Seperti mana mereka ditentang orang Moor di Sepanyol, mereka ditentang pula oleh orang Moro di Filipina. 

Angkatan Islam dari Sulu ini dikhabarkan pernah turut serta dalam peperangan Musuh Bisik 1821 di Kedah untuk menghalang kemasukan Sukhothai di Utara Semenanjung Tanah Melayu.

"Pada tahun 1819 pula, pihak tentera raja inggeris telah menyerang Timor Leste dan kemudiannya membunuh Sultan Riau Lingga Sultan (Ali) Dili dan juga membunuh adik Sultan Riau Lingga iaitu Sultan (Ismail) Manila Filipina yang mana mereka berdua ini adalah cucu kepada Raja Besar Benua Siam Kedah Syarif Yang Dipertuan Yang Maha Mulia. Pada tahun 1819 ini juga, penjajah inggeris telah bekerjasama dengan pengkhianat untuk mengusir Sultan Iskandar dari Istana Raja Pagoh, Johor."

Sultan Shakirul-Lah 1821 adalah brother of Aliyud- Din 1. Ini pada tahun-tahun Musuh Bisik 1821. Ini kita tidak pasti Aliyud-Din atau Alaudin tapi nama itu tetap ada dalam sejarah Sulu walaupun ianya tergantung. Mereka ini Alimudin 3-Aliyudin 1 dan Shakirul-Lah juga adalah adik beradik. Dan kita juga tidak pasti sama Shakirul - Lah itu gelaran atau nama sebenarnya kerana nama sebenar Jamalul Kiram 1 jika menurut cerita adalah Muwalil Wasit. Dan juga tahun pemerintahan Sultan Syakirul-Lah  juga tidak lama dalam lingkungan 1819-1823. (adakah mereka ini  orang yang sama?)

Dan kita orang Malaysia khasnya Melayu Islam telah diajar untuk berbangga dengan kisah Mat Salleh Pahlawan Sabah. Khabarnya senjata tak makan. Tetapi hari ini kita lupa pejuangannya dan lupa asal usul negeri yang cuba dipertahankannya. Sejarahnya telah hampir dilupakan, bahkan siapa yang tahu rahsia kehandalan isterinya yang simpan. Malangnya terbocor akibat muslihat musuh dan pengkhianatan.

Jangan pula dek kerana kes Sulu, kita benamkan terus sejarah realiti Kerajaan Umat Islam di Borneo. Jangan pula kerana kes Sulu kita bergaduh adik beradik. Sepatutnya sejarah Kesultanan Sulu ini dibongkar kembali demi tatapan dan penghayatan generasi Umat Melayu zaman ini dan zaman hadapan.

Maka kita perlu memahami sejarah realiti sebelum membuat sebarang dakwaan mengenai rakyat Sulu yang menjadi pelarian akibat percaturan politik British dan konco-konconya.

“At any rate, you will admit that your company cannot prevent us from dying for what we think are our rights. ” —Mat Salleh, to William C. Cowie, the managing director of the British North Borneo Company who had come from London on a special mission to arrange peace talks with him in 1898[3]:p.862 

Jika nak menuntut, maka seluruh Nusantara dan Benua Siam ini asalnya milik 'Melayu' Islam, ini termasuklah Wilayah Champa @ Viet Nam, Kemboja, Thailand, Burma, Filipina, Borneo dan Singapura termasuklah Kedah mengambil balik Pulau Pinang.

Panjang cerita.

Sekian.

The Sultan Of Sulu di Borneo Utara - Sabah

(Contoh stamp yang diguna pakai oleh British menunjukkan Kerajaan Islam Sulu adalah berdaulat di Sabah pada satu ketika dahulu)

The Mat Salleh Rebellion was a series of major armed disturbances against the colonial British North Borneo Chartered Company administration in North Borneo, now the Malaysian state of Sabah . 

It was instigated by Datu Muhammad Salleh (also known as Mat Salleh), a local chief from the Lingkabo district and Sugut River. He led the rebellion between 1894 until his death in Tambunan in 1900[1]:p.5[2]:p.41[3]:p.189-190. The resistance then continued on for another 5 years until 1905.[note 1][4]:p.54[5]:p.863 His revolts were widely supported by the local communities and affected a large geographical area from Sandakan, across Gaya Island, including the interior, especially Tambunan.[3]:p.190 His most notable uprising occurred at midnight on 9 July 1897, when he led his followers to successfully attack a major colonial settlement on Gaya Island. 

Biography of Mat Salleh

This is, apparently, the only known available photograph of Mat Salleh (marked with an white "X")

Mat Salleh was born in Inanam.[3]:p.190[6] His father was Datu Bulu, a traditional leader in Inanam and a member of the Suluk community.[6] His mother was of Bajau descent.[3]:p.189-190.[7] He had three siblings: Ali, Badin and Bolong.[7] The family moved to Sugut, which unlike Inanam, was in the Company's concession but since the abandonment of its tobacco estates, it had reportedly been “left largely to its own devices",[8]:p.47 and enjoyed relative autonomy. There, Datu Bulu assumed a local leadership position along part of the Sugut River on the eastern coast of North Borneo.[5]

Later in his life, Mat Salleh married a Sulu princess named Dayang Bandang.[3]:p.190[6] She was related to the Sultan Sulu's family and her village was at Penggalaban, Paitan. He later inherited his father’s local leadership position as the village chieftain in the Lingkabo district and Sungei Sugut.[3]:p.190[6][7]

Mat Salleh was often physically described as slender and tall, with pockmarked features. He was also well known as a mysterious [note 2][5]:p.862[9]:p.64 and intelligent man, with a commanding personality and presence. He was well-respected and his great tactical skills were renowned among the local communities.[5]:p.862
