“A totalitarian state that imprisoned its own dissidents and denied its own people the right to speak, organize, or travel exploited American academic freedom, free speech, free association, and due process to organize against the society that guaranteed them.”

Let this sink in.

Proof that true ideological belief will outweigh money every time in the long run. Wow, the proof here is overwhelming and disconcerting. Thank you, Secretary Rubio and the Trump administration in general for continuing to expose all these deeply held dark secrets.

Did You Know:

Karen Bass got her start in politics in the Venceremos Brigade, a Marxist front group in the US funded by Cuba

She traveled to Cuba many times

The Venceremos Brigade directly spawned domestic terror groups the Weather Underground and May 19th Org

I was going to make the same comment. Thank you.

Karen Bass needs a deep investigation into her actions and inactions to subvert. Would be so nice to send her to Cuba to stay.

This is the lesson the ruling-class machine never wanted Americans to learn: weak economies can still wage powerful ideological wars. Cuba did not need prosperity to damage the United States. It needed patience, cadres, front groups, useful academics, alienated students, sympathetic lawyers, and spies who believed betrayal was virtue. From the Tricontinental networks to the Venceremos Brigade, from Weather Underground influence to Ana Montes and Victor Manuel Rocha, the pattern is unmistakable. Totalitarians exploited American freedom to corrode American cohesion. Rubio’s report is not Cold War nostalgia. It is an audit of infiltration. The ruins of Havana were never the scoreboard. The converts were.

So now the question is what do we do about it?

And you can bet there were/are many in US intelligence fully aware and in support of this.

Thank you, Secretary Rubio. The situation in Cuba needs to be resolved before 2028.

Cuba has made a very powerful impact in our world by actually converting revolution into a commodity. Something it can sell as a service (for instance, its "security services to Venezuela"). It also builds the mystique of its product by glorifying and elaborating at scale its methods of creating superstitious melodrama. Can you think of a single Latin leader of Central or South America who doesn't fuel support through passionate superstitious drama? I lived in Venezuela for 4 years as a teenager. More often than not, there is always some kind of superstition to be exploited, but I never saw it done better than when Chavez convinced the people of Venezuela that he was the reincarnation of Simon Bolivar!! They really believed him, and since Bolivar is a much-beloved historical figure in South America, they followed him. And the passionate Che? The Castros could not control him, he really loved killing, but that didn't stop them from using his romanticized persona to put the fear of God into the peasants. He was a homicidal maniac. I briefly saw him at work close to Maturín, Venezuela. His presence in that area of jungle convinced my parents to get us on the first plane back to the States.
