Cuba: 250 million dollars in two decades to manufacture the Cuban “dissidence”

Subversion against Cuba is still ongoing from the United States. It was expected that the extreme and cruel sanctions terrorism under Trump would end as Biden was vice President under Obama who timidly reduced the generations long repression of the small Cuban island…but it seems the new ‘Democratic’ regime is just as bad.

Although it has not borne the fruits that its North American promoters expect, subversion against Cuba continues to be a lucrative business that moves millions of dollars.

by Juventud Rebelde.-Rebel Youth.-Nearly 250 million dollars have been dedicated by the administrations of the United States in the last two decades to subversion programs against Cuba.

The cash, distributed through agencies, companies and organizations such as the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), funds activities aimed at overthrowing the Cuban Revolution, the local newspaper Granma denounced today.

These include the most recent incitements to violence, provocations in front of the Ministry of Culture (Mincult) to seek confrontations, and the actions of different communication platforms, which according to the country’s media have been encouraged and sponsored from the United States.

Proof of this is the coverage made by Nelson Julio Álvarez for the site ADN Cuba about the events of January 27 at the Mincult, for which he received between $ 150 and $ 200, according to a video by Álvarez himself published in the group of Facebook Cuban Telescope.

The Cuba Money Project site, by American journalist Tracey Eaton, states that in 2020 alone agencies such as the USAID dedicated around 2.5 million dollars to subversive activities.

The data corresponds to the public information that these North American organizations handle on their digital portals, but it is considered a partial figure, since there are many secret programs about which the recipients of the funds are not known.

He adds that since Donald Trump assumed the presidency in 2017, at least 54 groups operated programs with money from the USAID or the NED.

The combination of these actions with the economic pressures generated by the intensification of the economic, commercial and financial blockade, and with the establishment of other unilateral coercive measures against Cuba, was the commitment of that administration to destroy the social system of the Caribbean country, according to a review PL

#Cuba : 250 millones de dólares en dos décadas para fabricar la “disidencia” cubana

Denuncian financiamiento millonario de Estados Unidos para promover subversión contra Cuba

Aunque no ha dado los frutos que esperan sus promotores norteamericanos, la subversión contra Cuba sigue siendo un lucrativo negocio que mueve millones de dólares

Juventud Rebelde.- Cerca de 250 millones de dólares dedicaron las administraciones de Estados Unidos en las últimas dos décadas para los programas de subversión contra Cuba.

La cifra, distribuida a través de agencias, empresas y organizaciones como la Agencia de los Estados Unidos para el Desarrollo Internacional (Usaid, por sus siglas en inglés) y la Fundación Nacional para la Democracia (NED), financia actividades cuyo propósito es el derrocamiento de la Revolución cubana, denunció hoy el diario local Granma.

Entre estas se incluyen las más recientes incitaciones a la violencia, las provocaciones frente al Ministerio de Cultura (Mincult) para buscar confrontaciones, y las acciones de diferentes plataformas comunicativas, que según revelaron medios del país han sido alentadas y patrocinadas desde territorio estadounidense.

Muestra de ello es la cobertura realizada por Nelson Julio Álvarez para el sitio ADN Cuba sobre los sucesos del 27 de enero en el Mincult, por la cual recibió entre 150 y 200 dólares, de acuerdo con un video del propio Álvarez publicado en el grupo de Facebook Telescopio Cubano.

El sitio Cuba Money Project, del periodista estadounidense Tracey Eaton, afirma que solo en 2020 agencias como la Usaid dedicaron alrededor de 2,5 millones de dólares a las actividades subversivas.

El dato corresponde a la información pública que manejan en sus portales digitales esas organizaciones norteamericanas, pero es considerada una cifra parcial, debido a que hay muchos programas secretos sobre los cuales no se conocen los destinatarios de los fondos.

Añade que desde que Donald Trump asumió la presidencia en 2017, al menos 54 grupos operaron programas con dinero proveniente de la Usaid o de la NED.

La combinación de estas acciones con las presiones económicas generadas por el recrudecimiento del bloqueo económico, comercial y financiero, y con el establecimiento de otras medidas coercitivas unilaterales contra Cuba, fue la apuesta de esa administración para destruir el sistema social del país caribeño, según reseña PL

Free the Saudi women’s rights activists still jailed for speaking out!

Saudi activist Loujain al-Hathloul was released from prison at last, but several others remain in detention.

Freedom NOW for Samar, Badawi and Mayaa
binary comment

Rights groups welcomed the release of women’s rights activist Loujain al-Hathloul from prison, but several other activists remain behind bars in Saudi Arabia..

Over the past three years, Saudi Arabia has detained hundreds of people it sees as dissenters – including activists like al-Hathloul – but it has begun provisionally releasing some as it comes under a little pressure from the new administration in the United States.

Saudi Arabia has always had a ‘blank cheque’ to do what it likes from the US regime, due in the past to oil dependence and now to the 100 billion dollar arms deals, ignoring its sponsorship of Islamic terrorists, long war on the northern Yemeni people, links to 9/11, lack of democracy, slave-like immigrant labour force and, of course its treatment of women as slaves and chattels.

The detentions of women protestors cast a spotlight on the human rights record of the kingdom, an absolute monarchy that has also faced intense criticism over the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi by a team of Saudi agents in its consulate in Istanbul.

Al-Hathloul was one of at least a dozen women’s rights activists detained in Saudi Arabia in 2018, three of whom are believed to remain in prison:

KSN-Jin International Women’s Day Statement

via Kurdistan Solidarity Network

Solidarity message for the women of Kurdistan, and for women’s movements everywhere struggling against femicide, in defense of free women and society, on 8th March, 2021.

Today, we wish to send a message of strength, courage, solidarity and hope to all our sisters, and especially to all Kurdish women political prisoners currently on hunger strike in Turkish prisons.

The Kurdish Women’s Movement provides inspiration to women’s movements all over Europe, and for us in England, Wales and Scotland, as an example of collective women’s struggle.

Your dignified and strong response to the actions of the Turkish State is inspirational, is gaining increasing support in the national news and in the British Parliament, as well as amongst ordinary people who care about creating a better world and peace in Kurdistan.

We salute all the women who demand freedom and who resist in the prison of darkness, such as Laila Guven, Zainab Jalalian and many others.

As feminists, we know that struggle involves work and it involves love. It is militant just as much as it is joyful. Whether we look to you, our sisters and comrades who have been imprisoned by the Turkish state, to the women fighting in the mountains of Kurdistan, or the women building new ways of life across society in all four parts of Kurdistan, we see this same love and dedication in their actions.

We also see this love for struggle in the victories of the Irish, Argentinian and Polish feminists fighting for reproductive justice. We see it in the anti-racist and decolonial struggles across the world, from the Zapatistas to Black Lives Matter.


On International Women’s Day, together with our sisters of the Kurdish Women’s Movement and all free women, we will take to the streets. 

We join your call to continue the struggle, to stand side by side as free women and raise our voices, to oppose all forms of injustice and fascism, to strive for building a society where justice and equality prevail and where the rights and dignity of women are respected.

We call for unity and solidarity, against feminicide and in defence of a free life and free society everywhere. United we will overcome. We salute you and wish you peace and strength.

Jin! Jiyan! Azadi!

8 arrested are ”An Anarchist Group, responsible for the riots in Barcelona for Pablo Hasel’s Freedom” claim cops. Eng/Esp

All 8 arrested, 6 Italians, 1 French and 1 Spanish. were apparently held on the last day of the radical street resistance when the demonstrators reached an inner city police station where a police van was slightly burned. An Italian woman is charged with ‘attempted murder’- for supposedly spraying gel on the side of the van. After being humiliated by the fierce 8 day resistance the Mossos police have clearly mounted a revenge case with random arrests.

by Kaos. Antirrepresión shared with thanks

Eight detainees: An anarchist group is according to the Mossos, the main responsible for the riots in Barcelona for the freedom of Pablo Hasel. , there are eight people arrested: six of Italian nationality, one French and one Spanish.

Given the broad social response, especially among young people, to the aberrational imprisonment of rapper Pablo Hasel, the Catalan police already have those responsible, the scapegoats whom they intend to criminalize as a social lesson and hide, incidentally, the brutal abuses committed by the riot police (one eye of a protester blinded, the massive beating in Gràcia …).

In Paraná, peasants from the MST prepare food donations to mark International Women’s Day. Actions of March 8 and 14.

Priscila Facina Monnerat, coordinator of the MST Women’s Collective in Paraná, emphasizes the month of March as the annual period marked by the mobilization of women. This year, the defense of life takes center stage.

“This scenario that we face, of record deaths by covid-19, a lot of violence and insecurity, is the result of a genocidal policy of the Bolsonaro government. What we want is the return of emergency aid, vaccines now and for everyone, and the confrontation of the various forms of violence ”, she demands.

Tony Seed's avatarTony Seed's Weblog

On March 8, International Women’s Day, around the world women organize rallies, marches and gatherings of all kinds to assert their claim as women to a say and control over all the affairs of society. Their struggle to affirm their collective rights is part and parcel of the fight to defend the rights of all.

One hundred and ten years ago, International Women’s Day was established to highlight the fight of women for peace, for their rights as workers, and for their right to participate in political affairs and to take their place in the vanguard of all fields of human endeavour.
