    US secretly created ‘Cuban Twitter’ to stir unrest
    By Associated Press, April 3 2014
    ▻http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/us-secretly-created-cuban-twitter-to-stir-unrest/2014/04/03/8a2dc77c-bafa-11e3-80de-2ff8801f27af_story.html

    Documents show the U.S. government planned to build a subscriber base through “non-controversial content”: news messages on soccer, music, and hurricane updates. Later when the network reached a critical mass of subscribers, perhaps hundreds of thousands, operators would introduce political content aimed at inspiring Cubans to organize “smart mobs” — mass gatherings called at a moment’s notice that might trigger a Cuban Spring, or, as one USAID document put it, “renegotiate the balance of power between the state and society.”

    At its peak, the project drew in more than 40,000 Cubans to share news and exchange opinions. But its subscribers were never aware it was created by the U.S. government, or that American contractors were gathering their private data in the hope that it might be used for political purposes.

      Cuba’s Youth Were the Target of USAID’s ZunZuneo
      ▻http://www.ipsnews.net/2014/04/cubas-youth-target-usaids-zunzuneo

      According to Kornbluh, USAID “gets 20 million dollars dumped into its coffers for its Cuba Democracy project every year, and it has to figure out creative ways to spend it.

      BBC News - Senate requests information on USAID internet projects
      ▻http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-26975854

      In hearings in recent days, members of the House of Representatives and the Senate have inquired why the operations in the communist nation were concealed and not carried out by an intelligence agency instead.

      “Why would we put that mission in USAID?” Republican Senator Mike Johanns has asked.

      “Why wouldn’t you look at some other part of the federal government to place that mission? To me, it seems crazy.”

      On Thursday, Democratic committee chairman Senator Robert Menendez defended the agency, saying he did not believe USAID’s efforts to promote “resilient, democratic societies that are able to realise their potential” were a “cockamamie idea”.

      “Our work in Cuba is no different than our efforts to promote freedom of expression and uncensored access to information in Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Iran, China or North Korea.”

      The Obama administration has said the programme was not covert but instead operated “discreetly”.

      Cuban-born Republican Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen earlier defended such programmes, saying “they are so important to offer the other side of the story, the side that promotes American values: God-given values like freedom, justice or liberty”.
