I think they are paranoids, or pretend paranoids. It's not the first time I've
read weird things from this guy. Yoani still pushes the lies about Paya and
the mystery car. She wouldn't do that if she wasn't unhinged to some extent
because it's so illogical considering how things unfolded. However she hangs
with Paya's widow who can't see it any other way. Again, I feel sorry for them
but they're not helping in the truth department.
So what this means - the conference aspect - is that Cuba is clamping down
on the media war being waged against them. It's similar to what is being
released on Obama from Citizens United money. I do believe the dissidents
survive due to USAID and other funding, plenty of others have indicated proof
of that but of course it's going to be hidden so believe what you want.
