Destabilizing Cuba

The United States Agency for International Development has been working hard to bring Ukrainian-style destabilization to Cuba.  Think of all the deaths and problems that will occur if they succeed.
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."
Has it occurred to anyone the goals can be reached peacefully?  Free trade.  For over fifty years USA has had an embargo on Cuba, to assure that no American can ever trade with an independent Cuba.
It turned to another young techie, James Eberhard, CEO of Denver-based Mobile Accord Inc. Eberhard had pioneered the use of text messaging for donations during disasters and had raised tens of millions of dollars after the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti.
Hmmm...  I more and more doubt that any of these "young billionaires" have done it by themselves, which Obama and Biden keep insisting.  And note there are IPR rules, but those can be overlooked when USAID is running a destabilization program.
To cover their tracks, they decided to have a company based in the United Kingdom set up a corporation in Spain to run ZunZuneo. A separate company called MovilChat was created in the Cayman Islands, a well-known offshore tax haven, with an account at the island's Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Ltd. to pay the bills.
So even if it looks benign, know it is not.
By early 2011, Creative Associates grew exasperated with Mobile Accord's failure to make ZunZuneo self-sustaining and independent of the U.S. government. The operation had run into an unsolvable problem. USAID was paying tens of thousands of dollars in text messaging fees to Cuba's communist telecommunications monopoly routed through a secret bank account and front companies. It was not a situation that it could either afford or justify — and if exposed it would be embarrassing, or worse.
O dear...  the USAID cannot tell when it is being scammed.  What idiots.  They are paying out millions to Cuba while the Cubans are using the same info for which the USAID is paying the Cuban state to find out which Cubans Cuba can round up.  Idiots.

Now, has it occurred to you yet why these tech companies that produce no income are all "worth" billions?  Because they are fronts.  And your pension is invested in their Blue Chip stocks.  Which will, one after another, be banned outside the USA.

Our government is out of control.  We need truth commissions.  Congress knew about this, but no congressman did his job.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.

Hi John,

This is an unrelated question but I didn't find another section to ask it. I was wondering, what's your opinion on a US resident wanting to become a citizen? Should he/she or not? The only disadvantage I can think of is the fact that you have to pay taxes even if you move overseas. Please let me know.


Thanks

Well, if you are a USCitizen you have responsibility for every act of the State, although you have no say so. You may imagine that if you have no say so, you have no responsibility, but the problem is you get a cut of the spoils of war, even if you are against the war.

If you are a citizen of the USA, the rest of the world expects you to fix the USA. That's a huge task. The taxes and regs and all that are insignificant compared to the job of fixing USA.
