Bombing Cuba: Prisoners Defenders \/ Miami Fake Specials<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A new episode of Miami Fake, the Cubainformaci\u00f3n section dedicated to debunking fake news and the propaganda war against Cuba, reviews this week a particularly serious escalation of rhetoric: the open call for military intervention against the island, along with new campaigns to cut European funding, tighten the embargo, and criminalize Cuban migration in the US. All of this is driven by the Miami media and NGO ecosystem, aligned with the US government\u2019s policy of strangulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. At a Prisoners Defenders event, they call for military intervention in Cuba, as in Venezuela<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The war rhetoric is no longer disguised. Within the Prisoners Defenders NGO, some of the familiar faces of the US-funded opposition are normalizing the idea of \u200b\u200ba \u201csurgical\u201d military action against Cuba, following the \u201cVenezuelan precedent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Cubans Around the World website headlines \u201cWashington Now Goes After Cuba Before the Year Ends: Trump and Marco Rubio\u2019s Plan After the Fall of the Maduro Regime,\u201d citing a Wall Street Journal report that \u201cthe United States is pushing a strategy to promote regime change in Cuba before the end of 2026.\u201d The article insists that \u201cU.S. officials consider the Cuban economy to be in a critical situation,\u201d and celebrates that \u201cWashington has also intensified sanctions and financial restrictions against Havana.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The same publication features former prisoner and mercenary Jos\u00e9 Daniel Ferrer, who claims that the U.S. could apply a \u201cformula similar to that used in Venezuela\u201d to Cuba. Ferrer, during a virtual event hosted by Prisoners Defenders, an organization that represents him abroad through its president, Javier Larrondo, went so far as to declare: \u201cIf I had to choose between the current state of Cuba (\u2026) and a minimally invasive surgical operation to remove that tyranny from power (\u2026) then I would choose the second option.\u201d Let us recall the US \u201csurgical operation\u201d in Venezuela: the bombing of the country, resulting in one hundred deaths, and the kidnapping of the president and his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The machinery is completed by Mart\u00ed Noticias, which reports that the acting US ambassador in Havana, Mike Hammer, \u201cdiscusses the situation in Cuba at the US Southern Command,\u201d a clear military threat against the Cuban people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along the same lines, ADN Cuba reports \u201cIn the Cuban case, Trump could force a \u2018transition,\u2019 says Ferrer\u201d and \u201cMike Hammer meets with head of US Southern Command,\u201d reinforcing the idea that \u201cdemocracy\u201d (made in the USA) can arrive hand in hand with military uniforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. One more step toward cutting European funds for development cooperation<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another piece of the encirclement is the offensive to cut off European cooperation with Cuba, including that earmarked for development projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asere Noticias celebrates that the \u201cEuropean Parliament approves suspending cooperation with Cuba,\u201d noting that \u201cindependent Cuban organizations have supported similar calls.\u201d Independent? These are associations linked to and funded by the US government. Diario de Cuba reinforces the narrative with \u201cEuropean Parliament approves amendment to cease EU support for Havana,\u201d citing the Assembly of the Cuban Resistance (ARC), a Miami-based group paid with USAID and NED funds from the US government, which accuses Cuba of \u201ccomplicity with Russia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ADN Cuba goes even further with \u201cEuropean Parliament questions and calls for review of the Agreement with the Cuban regime,\u201d stating that \u201cCuba cannot continue to benefit from privileged cooperation with the European Union\u201d and accusing Havana, without evidence, of \u201cproviding military support to Russia and Belarus.\u201d The ridiculous and nonexistent \u201cmilitary support\u201d consists of several dozen Cuban mercenaries who have fought, privately and illegally, on the Russian side, even though it is well known that a mercenary network was dismantled in Havana and that international mercenaries fight for money on both sides and come from the US, Europe, and numerous Latin American countries. The text emphasizes that the EU finances \u201csome 80 projects in Cuba with a budget of almost 155 million euros,\u201d presenting this cooperation as a scandal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Tighten the blockade against Cuba by sanctioning Miami companies<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cubans Around the World publishes \u201cTask Force led by (Alex) Otaola investigates around 300 businesses in Hialeah for possible links to the Castro dictatorship,\u201d while Asere Noticias responds with \u201cNearly 300 businesses in Hialeah investigated for possible links to the regime.\u201d The latter notes that \u201cat least 20 companies were sanctioned with the revocation of their licenses,\u201d celebrating that the punishment even extends to small businesses in the Cuban community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tightening the blockade to the maximum, even sanctioning companies in Miami that engage in minimal trade with micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and families on the island, is sadism at its finest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. The debt that Cuba cannot pay due to US strangulation is an \u201cexcuse\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Cuba cannot meet its international payments due to the blockade, the blame once again falls on the victim itself. Diario de Cuba headlines \u201cThe Paris Club again hears Havana\u2019s excuses after granting it better terms for debt repayment,\u201d deliberately ignoring the impact of US financial sanctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Cubalex: Human Rights and \u201cNGO Language\u201d funded by the murderous empire<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The program also focuses on the use of human rights language as a political tool. Diario de Cuba publishes \u201cCubalex Facing the Future: \u2018A Race of Endurance\u2019 for Human Rights on the Island,\u201d which states that \u201chuman rights training is not provided at any educational level in Cuba.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under a seemingly technical and neutral discourse, the external funding of these organizations, integrated into the pressure strategy against the Cuban state, is legitimized, while the humanitarian effects of the blockade imposed by the very power that funds them are silenced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is worth remembering that both the media outlet (Diario de Cuba) and the NGO (Cubalex) are supported in their activities and staff by USAID and NED funds from the US government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Cuban Migrants in the U.S.: From victims to criminals<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, Miami Fake points out the selective criminalization of Cuban migration. Mart\u00ed Noticias publishes Mario J. Pent\u00f3n\u2019s article, \u201cExclusive: ICE Arrests Four Cubans in Florida with Serious Crimes,\u201d highlighting that they \u201crepresented a significant threat to public safety.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The message is clear: Cuban migrants are only \u201cvictims\u201d when they serve as a political weapon against Cuba; when they are no longer useful, they are portrayed as dangerous criminals, justifying the US government\u2019s own immigration repression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This new Miami Fake program shows how the media war against Cuba is not limited to disinformation, but also normalizes the blockade, legitimizes interference, flirts with military intervention, and uses the language of human rights as political cover. All of this with the same objective: to subdue, through hunger, fear, and isolation, a country that continues to resist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
