Something is up in Cuba. Orlando Luis Pardo Lazo got detained after writing this:

6. I think you're asking the wrong questions

The question should be what do they hope to accomplish and why.

They cannot effect change because they are tied to right wing forces, Cuba cannot allow that.

They hope to get press and participate in the ongoing media war against Cuba.

The reason they want to do this is because they gain fame and position themselves as spokepeople because there is not much competition and they get money.

If they can disconnect from the right wing and USAID money I might be more favorable. Until then they represent a threat to my rights because that group in Miami is completely without ethics, much like what we see with all repukes these days, and they undermine elections in MY COUNTRY.

So this is not just about Cuba's problems, for that reason I distrust these individuals and believe they can do harm.

The solution is not getting media attention for this BS it's about solving the real suffering of the Cuban people. Yoani just adds her snark and makes a place for herself in social media, nothing much more to helpk solve anything, nothing sufficiently critical of the embargo - she might lose her $$ if she goes too far.
