1. Yoani Sanchez and the U.S. White House

Tue May 27, 2014, 09:13 AM

May 2014

By admitting that the secret ZunZuneo, a disguised “Cuban Twitter” mimic was specifically designed for the purposes of encouraging political opposition to the Castro regime, the White House basically outed Yoani Sanchez as “The Cuban Twitter/Blogger”. The White House recklessly painted a bulls eye on Yoani Sanchez’ back while simultaneously admitting to an international violation of sovereignty.

Now that Gordiano Lupi has stated publicly stating that Yoani is a mercenary, a fraud and fueled by greed, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Mario Díaz‑Balart, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Marco Rubio, Lincoln Díaz‑Balart, Joe García and her many other supporters are no where to be seen and all questions are met with “no comment”.

I doubt they'll take Cuba off the list. Mika May 2014 #19

It's not that dramatic, it's a policy controlled by the right wing flamingdem May 2014 #15
