We already covered USAID’s frittering away of $1.6 million creating and then abandoning a “Cuban Twitter,” which aimed to fuel political unrest on the Caribbean island nation. That was just the tip of the iceberg.
The Obama Administration also had a long-standing policy beginning in 2009 of sending young Latin Americans to Cuba under the guise of health and humanitarian programs, while secretly being ordered to foment rebellion against the Cuban government.
Some posed as tourists, some posed as aid workers. One of the memos related to the scheme dubbed an HIV-prevention workshop a “perfect excuse” for the US to send workers to undermine the Castro government.
Despite the operations being completely contrary to the nominal mission of USAID, the agency remains defiant about such fiascos, insisting they consider regime change in Cuba to count as “aid.”
But while the Cuban Twitter program was mostly just an embarrassment, this revelation could be more far-reaching, inevitably leading other nations targeted by the $3 billion Obama Administration HIV program to ask whether the program is about HIV, or simply an excuse to stir up unrest.
Frankly, Cuba is the USA's Gaza.
There is no aid in USAID, only CIA and others that are to destroy other nations right to chose, right to live, right to their freedom are in every bag of rice which are poisoned by Uncle Sam and state department lies.
The Mr Gross who is detained in Cuba supposedly working with the 'Jewish community', I went to school with his daughter in Williamsburg, VA. They were living at Camp Peary – the guy was totally CIA.
The stupid nation allows the US to send just anybody in whether they're real doctors or not.
The smart nation sends its doctors to the US for training and then handles its own problems.
The smaller nations of the world may be tempted by US dollars and flashy consumer goods, but they need to take a long, hard look at the nations who have received such largesse- are they any better off? Is their standard of living really any better- or are they worse off than they were before? Are they now self-sustaining, or do they now depend on the good graces of the US to remain viable at all?
