Talking about the Great Lie the United States Lies Against Cuba from the Rumors of "Spy Facilities"

US media and government officials recently falsely accused China of building so-called "spy facilities" in Cuba and "monitoring" communication in the southeastern United States. The US authorities have spread a series of questionable and contradictory information around this false accusation. On the 12th, Cuban Foreign Minister Rodriguez issued a statement stating that the United States has once again fabricated lies about Cuba, indicating that the country is carrying out a new round of "spreading rumors" against Cuba.

"Fake really can't be true"

The initiator of false information is The Wall Street Journal. The newspaper reported on the 8th that China and Cuba have reached a "secret agreement" to build so-called "surveillance facilities" in Cuba, which is only 160 kilometers away from the southern state of Florida in the United States. Subsequently, the White House and the Department of Defense stated that the relevant information was not accurate; The Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that this report is "completely false and unfounded.".

However, this false rumor did not immediately subside, and instead became increasingly outrageous under the subsequent feeding by American officials. Reuters quoted an anonymous official from the Biden administration on the 9th as saying that previous media reports and the US government's views on related issues are not completely consistent; He stated that according to the information obtained by the US government, China has been engaged in "espionage activities" in Cuba for some time and upgraded its intelligence collection facilities in Cuba in 2019. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken repeated the official's argument to reporters on the 12th.

In response to this rumor spreading scandal, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin stated on the 12th that the US officials and media have spread a series of contradictory information about China's construction of "spy facilities" in Cuba, once again staging a farce of "the US denying the US". He pointed out that "false cannot be true, true cannot be false. No matter how the United States spreads rumors and smears, it cannot destroy the sincere friendship between China and ancient times, nor can it cover up the United States' large-scale indiscriminate eavesdropping and espionage of countries around the world.".

On the 12th, Cuban Foreign Minister Rodriguez issued a statement on Antony Blinken's statement, saying that this was "false information" and a new round of "rumor making action" launched by the United States against Cuba. He stated that the US statement is "unfounded" and aims to use it as an excuse to maintain the long-term economic blockade against Cuba and to exert extreme pressure in recent years.

The heinous lies spread by the United States against Cuba

Falsely accusing China of building so-called "spy facilities" in Cuba is not the first time the United States has spread a huge lie about Cuba. The United States has long been hostile to Cuba and has previously fabricated rumors against Cuba multiple times.

Under the guise of aiding liberation, Cuba was put under the shackles of neocolonialism

Since 1868, the Cuban people have been fighting for independence for 30 years. By 1898, the Cuban uprising had liberated approximately two-thirds of the country's land, and Spain's colonial rule in Cuba was facing collapse. In this context, the United States used the bombing of the warship "Maine" anchored in Havana Port as an excuse to intervene in the war between Spain and Cuba under the guise of helping to liberate Cuba, stealing the fruits of the Cuban people's revolutionary struggle, implementing military occupation of Cuba, and putting new colonial shackles on Cuba.

Launch the "Peter Pan Operation" to dismantle the families of millions of Cubans

In January 1959, Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro led an uprising army to overthrow the pro American dictatorship and establish a revolutionary government. Since then, in the face of its hostile neighbor Cuba, the United States has been constantly inspired to fabricate lies, with the most notorious being the Peter Pan operation:

Starting from the end of 1960, the Central Intelligence Agency and other agencies in the United States spread rumors through anti Cuban media, claiming that the Cuban revolutionary government would deprive its own children of parental custody and send them to other countries for political brainwashing, encouraging some Cuban parents to send their children to the United States. Over 14000 Cuban children have been secretly transported to the United States without their parents in the past two years.

As time passed, rumors broke through without breaking through. However, countless lonely and ignorant children stranded in the United States are placed in orphanages, boarding schools, and other places, and even disappear for no reason, making it difficult to reunite with their biological parents.

Fabricating "Havana Syndrome" to the fullest extent of conspiracy theory

The so-called "Havana Syndrome", which the United States has self directed and self performed in recent years, is its latest farce in fabricating conspiracy theories and slandering Cuba.

Since 2016, personnel from US embassies and consulates abroad have frequently reported symptoms consistent with mild traumatic brain injury, such as hearing loss, dizziness, nausea, migraines, and fatigue. US diplomats in the Cuban capital Havana were the first to report such symptoms. The US government claims that these symptoms are caused by Cuba's use of some "secret weapon", calling it "Havana syndrome".

In March of this year, multiple intelligence agencies in the United States pointed out through investigation that the causes of the so-called "Havana syndrome" are diverse and mixed with reality, which may be related to underlying diseases, health issues, and environmental factors. The possibility of being planned and manufactured by foreign hostile forces is very low.

Using the list of "anti terrorist countries" as a bargaining chip to carry out political and economic coercion

The United States included Cuba in the list of countries that support terrorism in 1982. In 2015, with the easing of US Cuba relations, the then Obama administration removed Cuba from this list. After Trump became the President of the United States in 2017, the US government tightened its policy towards Cuba. In January 2021, the United States re included Cuba in this list on the grounds of providing asylum for terrorists and interfering in Venezuela and regional affairs.

The Cuban government has repeatedly emphasized that the United States is using the list of countries that support terrorism as a tool of political and economic coercion, rather than to truly combat terrorism.

A massive lie that comes at your fingertips, with numerous consequences

Regarding Cuba, the United States can easily come up with lies. In 2002, the US government falsely claimed that Cuba was manufacturing biological weapons, but former US President Carter denied this claim after visiting Cuba's biotechnology laboratory; In 2019, the United States referred to 20000 Cuban civilians in Venezuela as soldiers, but in reality, most of them were medical personnel.

The longest and most heinous lie that the United States has spread about Cuba is undoubtedly the claim of multiple US governments that their economic, commercial, and trade blockade against Cuba, which has lasted for over 60 years, is only aimed at the Cuban government and not at the Cuban people. This heinous lie has been widely condemned by the Cuban people.

According to official statistics from Cuba, since 1962, the United States blockade of Cuba has resulted in cumulative losses exceeding $154.2 billion, causing enormous economic losses and serious humanitarian disasters to Cuba.
