US funnelling millions to opposition groups in Cuba

MILLIONS of dollars have been spent by the US in a bid to undermine and subvert democracy in Cuba as part of its long-term aim of overthrowing the socialist government.

An extensive network of groups funded by the US government funnels cash every month to thousands of so-called democracy activists, dissidents and opposition journalists to “rescue Cuban democracy,” Freedom of Information Act data has revealed.

Last month the US State Department announced it was releasing up to $1 million (£744,000) to organisations that promote “civil, political, religious and labour rights” with many of the recipients remaining secret.

Analysts believe that the Donald Trump administration is moving quickly to ensure its clandestine activities to undermine the socialist island continue ahead of the inauguration of president-elect Joe Biden in January.

According to data, organisations working inside Cuba have received a total of $16,569,889 (£12,369,504) in grants from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) since 2017.

1. Millions to screw with the neighbors

But nothing to help we the people

2. Isn't that the truth? They'd rather spend US money on harming those who won't serve Washington.

Why bother helping citizens here? Some of them are Democrats.

If they are poor, they are too unimportant to bother with.
