The USA's favorite game: Interfere, Instigate, Incite and Incinerate other countries


Bombshell news out today about how the USA secretly set up "Cuban Twitter" social media in Cuba to get Cubans to revolt. Watch how the US media will douse this fire with the coldest water possible and push the ashes under a carpet.

Why do Americans never learn.  Why are they so thick-headed and why do they continue interfering in other countries' affairs?  Why does Canada and USA's other allies follow her blindly? Why don't the Americans give a chance for a true and genuine grassroots uprising of the people against governments they don't like to materialize naturally instead of instigating and funding, often times the wrong elements?  

I just don't get it why Americans don't understand the reason why they are hated with a deep intensity in many parts of the world.  

From NewsDaily:
....In July 2010, Joe McSpedon, a U.S. government official, flew to Barcelona to put the final touches on a secret plan to build a social media project aimed at undermining Cuba's communist government.

McSpedon and his team of high-tech contractors had come in from Costa Rica and Nicaragua, Washington and Denver. Their mission: to launch a messaging network that could reach hundreds of thousands of Cubans. To hide the network from the Cuban government, they would set up a byzantine system of front companies using a Cayman Islands bank account, and recruit unsuspecting executives who would not be told of the company's ties to the U.S. government.

McSpedon didn't work for the CIA. This was a program paid for and run by the U.S. Agency for International Development, best known for overseeing billions of dollars in U.S. humanitarian aid.

According to documents obtained by The Associated Press and multiple interviews with people involved in the project, the plan was to develop a bare-bones "Cuban Twitter," using cellphone text messaging to evade Cuba's strict control of information and its stranglehold restrictions over the Internet. In a play on Twitter, it was called ZunZuneo — slang for a Cuban hummingbird's tweet.

Documents show the U.S. government planned to build a subscriber base through "non-controversial content": news messages on soccer, music, and hurricane updates. Later when the network reached a critical mass of subscribers, perhaps hundreds of thousands, operators would introduce political content aimed at inspiring Cubans to organize "smart mobs" — mass gatherings called at a moment's notice that might trigger a Cuban Spring, or, as one USAID document put it, "renegotiate the balance of power between the state and society."

At its peak, the project drew in more than 40,000 Cubans to share news and exchange opinions. But its subscribers were never aware it was created by the U.S. government, or that American contractors were gathering their private data in the hope that it might be used for political purposes.....

  1. The Mercans never got over the Bay of Pigs failure.
    But in saying that, Cuba would be so much better off economically if they ditched their failed commie economic system.

    1. I don't disagree. But the movement and the momentum to topple governments should come from real patriots, a real grassroots happening. Money from the USA into the pockets of people for hire is not the way to go.
      We have seen the various examples of US "hired help" in Libya, Syria, Ukraine and if the USAID mentioned in the Cuba story had other US depts in its corner, the coffers would have continued flowing with an eventual uprising in Cuba, but at the cost of probably many deaths of innocent or gullible folks.
      I hate to see the gullible and naive being manipulated like puppets by people who do it only because they can.
