    "Trump administration attacks US left, alleging Cuba ties: Key takeaways

    US report says the beleaguered government in Havana is the ‘connective tissue’ of a global ‘anti-American coalition’.

    (. . .)

    The administration of United States President Donald Trump has released a 100-page report tying left-wing advocacy groups in the US to Cuba – often relying on circumstantial and ideological links, rather than direct connections.

    (. . .)

    In May, US authorities issued a criminal indictment against 95-year-old former Cuban politician Raul Castro over the downing of two planes in 1996 that killed four people, which Havana says crossed into the island’s airspace without authorisation.

    'It looks as though it’s just setting up an invasion or some sort of intervention. Most of the rest of the world is totally opposed to that,' Kapcia said.

    He added, however, that due to Cuba’s receding strategic importance and national resources and the rising antiwar sentiment in the US, Trump is unlikely to launch a military campaign against the island.

    'It seems to be rhetoric, but that could be wishful thinking. We could be hoping it’s rhetoric,' Kapcia told Al Jazeera. 'I rule nothing out when it comes to Trump.'

    Code Pink’s Benjamin said the report and other statements demonising Cuba aim to justify the 'demonic policy of starvation', referring to the US siege on the island.

    'I think they’re getting ready for an invasion,' she told Al Jazeera. 'I think they’re laying the groundwork, and this is part of the plan – because starving the people is not achieving the ends that they want, which is obviously regime change.'

    Republican Congressman Carlos Gimenez, who represents a South Florida district home to a large Cuban-American community, cited the report to call for regime change in Cuba.

    'Cuba is next,' he wrote on X.

    "Psywar on Cuba: A Declassified History of U.S. Anti-Castro Propaganda

    Jon Elliston
    (Editor)

    Newly declassified CIA and U.S. Government documents are reproduced here for the first time, exposing a 40-year campaign by Washington to use psychological warfare and propaganda to destabilize Cuba and undermine its revolution.

    The Cuban people have been the target for one of the largest psychological warfare campaigns ever waged by one country against another. This book details the U.S. psywar efforts, overt and covert, which have included rumor campaigns, posters, newspapers, books, comics, newsreels, leaflet drops, and radio and TV broadcasts from airplanes, blimps, boats, submarines, secluded islands and the U.S. mainland.

    As a comprehensive record of the political, legal and strategic aspects of this four-decade long, multi-million dollar propaganda barrage, the book will serve as a valuable case study and reference for teachers and students of political science, Cold War history, media studies and international communication.

    Hundreds of pages of previously secret documents are included in this unique and stunning contribution to the literature on U.S. foreign policy and anti-Castro covert operations.

    'An excellent overview of the whole sad story of U.S. efforts to use radio broadcasting and now TV against the Castro government — efforts which are simply part of a deceitful and utterly counterproductive policy,' Wayne S. Smith, former US diplomat in Havana."

  11. #Video - What Happens When US Citizens Defy Cuba Policy? | Medea Benjamin Responds
    peertube.world/w/hDBEgfUgfdq36
    Duration - 13:19

    [from #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    What happens when a US citizen tries to deliver #HumanitarianAid to #Cuba and criticizes the US government’s economic war on #Cuba?

    That was what Medea Benjamin did, and now the US government is investigating and intimidating her.

    Last March, #MedeaBenjamin, co-founder of #CodePink, traveled to Cuba as part of the #NuestraAmericaConvoy, amid a devastating economic crisis brought about by #US sanctions and an #oil #blockade designed to choke the island.

    She came to bring food, medicines, especially to the children’s #hospitals, where the maximum pressure sanctions are killing babies.

    Medea explains to BotB what the investigations really are, how she was saved by Cuban #doctors, why #HasanPiker's reach made him a target and why this won’t stop the #solidarity towards Cuba.

  13. Seeing that the Treasury Dept has supposedly issued a subpeona against Medea Benjamin and Hasan Piker supposedly over their trip to Cuba. There are reports of a subpeona on corporate media notably FOX, Medea says so far this is not yet the case.

    codepink.org/subpoenacubastate

    Normally I would call any such subpeona a declaration of war against the entire activist community, but they already DECLARED war on us with NSPM-7. Still, that did not directly name peace groups but rather us antifa. Now this shit might be getting extended to a peace group.

    YES, Donald Trump's regime may be declaring war on a peace organization. An attack on one is an attack on all. The US Dept of THEFT can eat shit.

  15. Hasan and Code Pink are being treated as criminals for bringing food, medicine, and diapers to Cuba — a country we're illegally starving. Not one Epstein-linked predator has been arrested, yet this regime has decided humanitarian aid is the real crime.

  20. ‘What I Saw in Cuba Was Resilience’
    A Cuban American’s Story from the #NuestraAméricaConvoy

    April 2, 2026

    “I traveled to #Cuba this month,” writes Gerardo Delgado. “As a #CubanAmerican, that sentence carries the weight of longing born of an estrangement from my roots. For much of my life, Cuba existed as a distant story, a place I knew only through descriptions from my father.

    “I was there as part of an international solidarity convoy; over 500 representatives from more than 30 countries, united by a simple conviction: no country has the right to strangle another simply because it chose a different path. I cannot stand by while the island of my family’s heritage is suffocated.”

    Delgado is an educator in Miami, Florida, working with the Miami Coalition to End the #US Blockade of Cuba. He recently returned from Cuba, where he went with #CODEPINK’s delegation to the island as part of the #NuestraAméricaConvoy.

    #CubanAmericans, #US activists, and organizations like #CodePink are going to Cuba together for a shared mission: bring humanitarian aid to the island and support the people amid a devastating US #oil #blockade.

    As part of the #NuestraAméricaConvoy, participants are traveling with medical supplies and essential goods, while also calling for the #Trump administration to end its siege on Cuba.

    For years, Cuba has suffered the consequences of the US economic war, a policy that restricts trade and access to basic goods. In recent years, inflation, mass migration and widespread shortages have further worsened the situation on the island.
