USAID is clearly in the job of trying to bring about REGIME CHANGE in Cuba. It financed a program sending private contractors into Cuba secretly several years ago to set up satellite communications networks. And now we’ve found out, through this extraordinary Associated Press story, that it was trying to set up a SECRET Twitter network that has all the elements of a classic COVERT OPERATION. It has secret bank accounts, shell companies, multinational platforms in terms of various countries being used—Nicaragua, Spain, Ireland, London—and in the background a murky office in USAID called the Office of Transition Initiative, OTI, that clearly is, you know, competing with the Central Intelligence Agency for creative regime change programs in Cuba... This is one of the saddest elements of this whole story, is the way the Obama administration has DECEPTIVELY misrepresented these USAID programs. USAID, perhaps, is the NEW CIA here. --------- I am just posting the above because I was discussing this topic with somebody today while pointing out the history of similar USAID involvement in dubious to horrendous operations that make a mockery of the official mission of the organization (s. also eg the Wikipedia article on NSSM 200 [ tinyurl/3ydy6y]). This is all despicable.
