<p><span>After six decades, the cast changes and the script remains the
same. Such a long-standing political strategy requires operatives to
renew the tactics in the field. The purpose remains the same: to employ
asphyxiating maneuvers until the prey loses all possibility of survival.
The 243 measures taken by the U.S. administration to cut off the
slightest maneuver of the Cuban government in the midst of the effects
of the pandemic, bet on bringing the end closer.</span></p>
<p><span>Faced with this scenario, Biden continued in the footsteps of
his predecessors. Now, in a context that has even motivated the Pope’s
reflections and rejection, the President must find pretexts to justify
his policy towards the archipelago. Hence, the most active official of
his government on the Cuba issue threatened the independent and
sovereign nation of the Caribbean. To an international media, the
principal director of National Security for the Western Hemisphere, Juan
Gonzalez, declared that Washington will respond with sanctions if the
promoters of the provocative march announced for November 15 in several
cities of the country are prosecuted.</span></p>
<p><span>In recent months, through social networks, platforms through
which the U.S. Government intends to build a parallel reality for Cuba
and manage its interventionist strategy, the federal employee even
exchanged with Cuban influencers to expose the vision of his
administration towards the Island.</span></p>
<p><span>Promoting the “free flow of information”, supporting political
operators associated with culture and “independent” journalism, as well
as erasing the legitimacy of the Cuban Revolution in the international
scenario, have been the matrices presented to the public opinion by the
also advisor to President Biden. But these ideas need their correlate in
practice in order to achieve their objective.</span></p>
<p><span>Weeks ago, in the midst of the VI Celac Summit, while several
leaders were betting on cooperation to face the current scenario, a
president chose “complacency” with Washington’s dictate towards Cuba,
and was out of tune with a sepia speech on democracy and human rights.</span></p>
<p><span>To support these arguments in the international arena, the
White House supports operators in Cuban territory. And now, once again,
behind the “peaceful” discourse, the intention is to stage an event that
articulates and advances the U.S. agenda and, furthermore, justifies it
before public opinion. Whether or not the purpose has been achieved,
the strategists have already ensured the counter-response: a
justification to sustain the blockade and to point the finger once again
at the Government of the Island for declaring such a “civic” expression
unconstitutional.</span></p>
<p><span>The main promoter of the “peaceful march” has denied any link
with organizations that respond to the US government; however, he
himself revealed that the demonstration would be led by several citizens
and civil society groups of which there is evidence of their financial
and operational dependence on Washington. Among them, members of the
self-styled 27N Movement and the Council for Democratic Transition. At
the same time, all the press financed through projects of the NED, USAID
and other organizations with similar purposes, maintains in its
headlines any content related to the march or its organizers.</span></p>
<p><span>The date chosen for the performance could not be otherwise.
They take advantage of the month and the day of the opening to
international tourism, of the return to schools, of the restart of
cultural life. Right now it is the information that the algorithms in
the large servers of the social networks, all managed by U.S.
corporations, rank in relation to Cuba.</span></p>
<p><span>Shortly before the mid-term elections that will renew Congress
and one-third of the U.S. Senate, the Democratic Party runs the risk of
losing control of Congress. The Republicans would only need five more
seats in the House of Representatives and one in the Senate to regain
the majority. In this dispute, despite not fulfilling his campaign
promises, Biden reaffirms his votes with the most recalcitrant and
powerful representatives of the Cuban community in the North American
country.</span></p>
<p><span>A march or any other representation, in tune with the
counterrevolution industry, will continue to be postable content in the
profiles of U.S. government officials and agencies. Meanwhile, Cuba
follows its own agenda. More than 7,000,000 people have received the
complete COVID-19 vaccination schedule. Florida and Washington know it.</span></p>
