  1. I was not aware of the State Department Report. Has any media , conservative or liberal, written about it and the implications of it. ?

  2. Thanks for the link, TC. I found the report interesting.

    From the State Department:

    For 67 years, the Cuban regime has waged a campaign on every front. It has armed guerrillas, trained terrorists, sheltered fugitives, infiltrated the U.S. government, cultivated generations of American elites, built influence networks inside our institutions, and opened the Western Hemisphere to a succession of hostile foreign powers. It has sought to undermine, degrade anddestabilize America with spies and soldiers, but also with students and intellectuals; with terrorist
    cells, but also with solidarity committees and nonprofit networks. with intelligence officers operating under diplomatic cover, but also with ostensibly private exchanges, nonprofits, political organizations, and activist networks.

    Today, Cuban agents and operatives maintain a foothold in hundreds of front groups, activist organizations, solidarity centers, and ideological NGO and nonprofit networks. These groups collectively represent one of the single largest, most sophisticated and dangerous vectors for hostile foreign influence in modern American history. Many of the most significant upheavals in recent American political history – from the George Floyd riots to the rise of Antifa to the explosion of pro-terrorist activism on American college campuses – can be linked, in some way,
    shape, or form, to Cuban influence.

    Even as its economy teeters on the brink of collapse in the wake of decades of corrupt
    communist rule, the Cuban regime’s fundamental objective remains the same as it was when Castro first marched into Havana in 1959: a hemispheric Marxist revolution that erases the United States from the earth. This objective continues to serve as both the founding myth and the central principle of the Cuban state.

    1. Thanks, Fred. I think some of the Marxist color revolution we have seen in the US is instigated by other foreign actors such as China — and we can’t forget Antifa is an international organization with roots in Europe.

      Yes, Cuba has been a bad actor. I think Rubio and Trump would have loved to take over the island militarily, but this Iran thing turned out to be much more difficult than they calculated. Cuba would have been easy.
