The United States, a country that expects to “liberate” Syria by financing mercenaries, that “democratized” Libya by bombing it, and that has proved unable to evacuate its interrogation camps from Guantanamo, has recently found a way to teach Cuban youth the virtues of their civilization.
According to the website Along the Malecón, the State Department has just announced that it will award $700,000 to the person who manages to "invent" a video game that will encourage "critical thinking" among the Cuban youth — as if they were ignorant — with the purpose of causing "changes in society."
This offensive destabilization operation — another one in the arsenal of the psychological war against Cuba — takes place within a new millionaire plan that has a budget of $4.2 million. This money will be wasted on companies and organizations that live off of the kindness of Hillary Clinton's officials.
With a shameless blatancy typical of the imperial power, the State Department specifies that, among other donations that are part of the budget, it will give away $1,050,000 to "improve the capacity of human rights investigators and monitors, principally those outside of Havana."
This from a country that punishes those who dare act as unregistered agents from a foreign government with a prolonged stay behind bars.
The same applies to the beneficiaries of the $750,000 that will be squandered in order to provide "tools to denounce and detect human rights abuses and corruption" to the so-called "investigative journalists" who develop and propagate abroad "stories" that defame Cuba.
Once again, money will be spent to raise "dissidents," using vast amounts of money to bribe citizens confronted with the consequences of a blockade that has strangled the island for decades. Nothing less than a million dollars will allegedly be spent "especially among artists, poets, musicians and writers" (I quote) "in order to achieve this purpose."
Another $700,000 will go into the hands of corporations, companies and NGOs that will teach Cubans the beauty of the so called "free market," where rich people do not have to lose their houses to the banks.
Clinton's officials "prefer" potential contractors to be Spanish speakers "with experience on the island." However, they need the number of American citizens and permanent residents who travel to Cuba to be "limited or excluded."
Recent examples have shown that breaking Cuban law causes serious inconveniences. The State Department claims that it can demand that the beneficiaries of grants reveal who in Cuba receives the money and resources.
The business of destabilizing Cuba has made more than one State Department associate rich in the past, and has been the subject of multiple instances of leaking funds, acts of corruption and fraud scandals over the years.
