US SENT LATIN YOUTH UNDERCOVER IN ANTI-CUBA PLOY….SHE JUST CAN’T STAY OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE’S BUSINESS

Greetings,

Once again we are getting to see US imperialism….US Hypocrisy…..US arrogance & intransigence…..US wickedness on display for the entire world to see. Her policies of destabilization, color revolution, and government overthrow will one day soon come back to haunt her in her own land.

Today, they have filled the earth with their wickedness, and there is 100 per cent dissatisfaction against their continued rule . ….”She alone is to be charged with being the cause of the troubled world and people today.

America loves meddling into other people’s affairs. She just cannot stay out of other people’s business, whether they be a two-cents worth soap-box teacher or presidents and kings of countries.”–pg.115(tfoa)

US SENT LATIN YOUTH UNDERCOVER IN ANTI-CUBA PLOY

Venezuela’s opposition to meet with government

WASHINGTON (AP) — Fernando Murillo was typical of the young Latin Americans deployed by a U.S. agency to work undercover in Cuba. He had little training in the dangers of clandestine operations — or how to evade one of the world’s most sophisticated counter-intelligence services.

Their assignment was to recruit young Cubans to anti-government activism, which they did under the guise of civic programs, including an HIV prevention workshop. Murillo was instructed to check in every 48 hours and was provided with a set of security codes. “I have a headache,” for instance, meant the Costa Rican thought the Cubans were watching him and the mission should be suspended.

Over at least two years, the U.S. Agency for International Development — best known for overseeing billions of dollars in U.S. humanitarian aid — sent nearly a dozen neophytes from Venezuela, Costa Rica and Peru to gin up opposition in Cuba. The danger was apparent to USAID, if not to the young operatives: A USAID contractor, American Alan Gross, had just been hauled away to a Cuban jail for smuggling in sensitive technology. He remains there still.

USAID hired Creative Associates International, a Washington-based company, as part of a civil society program against Cuba’s communist government. The same company was central to the creation of a “Cuban Twitter” — a messaging network revealed in April by The Associated Press, designed to reach hundreds of thousands of Cubans.

According to internal documents obtained by the AP and interviews in six countries, USAID’s young operatives posed as tourists, visited college campuses and used a ruse that could undermine USAID’s credibility in critical health work around the world: An HIV-prevention workshop one called the “perfect excuse” to recruit political activists, according to a report by Murillo’s group. For all the risks, some travelers were paid as little as $5.41 an hour.

On Monday, the Obama administration defended the program, even while it acknowledged that the HIV workshop served a dual purpose. It “enabled support for Cuban civil society, while providing a secondary benefit of addressing the desires Cubans express for information and training about HIV prevention,” State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said……MORE HERE
