For seven years, from 2004 to 2011, Cuban journalist Raùl Antonio Capote Fernandez was a double agent. For the Central Intelligence Agency, the #CIA, he was an opponent of the Cuban government. In reality, Capote was trying to find out who was behind the Genesis project created by North American espionage, with its eyes fixed on Cuba.

Under the umbrella of the N.G.O., this plan was designed to indoctrinate young Cuban students abroad who, seduced by the idea of “modernizing” Cuba, would return home to sow the seeds of rebellion, first using social networks, and then the streets with forays into confrontation, to the point of demanding the intervention of the U.S. army. A first version of the “color revolutions” that have shaken the Middle East and part of the world following hybrid wars to promote coups d'état. In #Cuba, it didn't work because Havana knew about it.

Brummet contrasts the US government’s response to the hurricane relief efforts in places like Cuba, in particular, which although is often in the direct path of hurricanes, it historically has had very few hurricane related deaths.

The day before Hurricane Ian hit Cuba in 2022, 50,000 people were evacuated and taken to 55 shelters. By October 1, less than five days after Hurricane Ian’s landfall, 82% of the residents of Havana had their power restored. In contrast, over 100 people died in Florida as a result of the same hurricane, with many blaming delayed evacuation efforts.

Cuba has “drastically lower rates of deaths from hurricanes than we do here in Florida,” says Brummet. “And then when the storm has passed, it’s a priority for the government that everyone’s home is given attention, is repaired.”

In the US, “this is not even imaginable,” Brummet claims. “People are often permanently displaced because their homes are destroyed and they aren’t given the resources to repair them. With all the wealth that we have in the United States, we could prioritize making sure that our communities are safe from storms, that people are evacuated, and that where a storm does hit, that people’s needs are met and they can have their homes rebuilt and their lives can continue.”

#US congress failed to allocate relief funding ahead of Hurricane Helene, then skipped town early due to the storm.

Southern Command Launches an Attack on China and Russia in Latin America

Richardson’s call reflects the deep concern of the United States over the undeniable loss of geopolitical and economic influence in Latin America. Although she presented the proposal at the forum as a “humanitarian aid” and economic reconstruction effort, it is essentially an attempt to counter the growing presence of emerging powers of the multipolar world in the region.
