In Cuba, hundreds take to the streets in rare protests as economic crisis deepens

[Marcus IM]

10. Elizardo Sanchez is on Cubanet's payroll. Cubanet is an exile run anti-Cuba propaganda program funded by the IRI.

Most anti-Cuba aficionados are completely ahistorical and w/o any real knowledge of or experience in Cuba, or of the Miami based RW propaganda outlet Cubanet, which is nothing more than a branch of the extremist GOP. Always amazed when people present their google results w/o any knowledge of said subject nor it's sourcing.

Americans and Cubans are free to do so.

Now, for HRW to take Sanchez's paid-for opinions as fact, without any mention of who his employers are, is, well ... dishonest.
To produce anti-Cuba propaganda for Cubanet, Sanchez and a few others are paid $4000 US a month.
They are wealthy by Cuban standards. And, they have a motive for producing such propaganda. Money.

HRW (and AI) has no bureau in Cuba, and this "report" op/ed is from 1990 about a few 1980's incidents - mainly these incidents were about those who were working for Cubanet getting paid in US dollars were working as unregistered foreign agents. None of it is mentioned by HRW.

You want to refer to RW republican funded "reports" from extremist RW Cuban "exile" organizations, go ahead.

Anyway, please post the pics of the Cuban jackboot thugs beating, gassing, kettling, penning, and arresting some of those hundreds of protesters on the thread I posted.
I'm still waiting for the pics of Cuban jackboots cracking heads of the demonstrators demanding more socialism.
Thanks.
