The Castro regime has released another television program in their series “Reasons of Cuba,” which if the dictatorship were honest they would have titled it “Reasons to keep Cuba under dictatorial rule.” The series is campy and laughable as it attempts to portray a dying dictatorial regime struggling to maintain its stranglehold on a nation as a benevolent protector, shielding the Cuban people from the evils of unfiltered information. They would like for the Cuban people to believe that the only way they can be kept safe from the dangers of information and the truth is for the regime to keep them enslaved and repressed.
In their latest installment, the paranoid and desperate Castro regime reveals the identity of another “secret agent,” and accuses a Reuters reporter of being a CIA agent.
Cuba accuses Reuters journalist of collaborating with US intelligence
HAVANA — Cuban state-television on Monday accused a former bureau chief for the Reuters international news agency of arranging a meeting on a darkened Havana street between an undercover Cuban agent and a U.S. diplomat who the program claimed was really a CIA operative.
The program, dedicated to uncovering supposed plots against Cuba, featured a professor and little-known dissident named Raul Capote, who described himself as “Agent Daniel,” the Cuban intelligence agent who purportedly took part in the meeting.
Capote said he attended a reception with Reuters’ then bureau chief, Anthony Boadle, at the German Embassy, without giving a date. The two left the party by foot two hours later, walking through the quiet Havana night, he said.
“We walked I don’t know how many blocks, until we arrived at a dark place where a car was parked. There was a shadow inside, a man,” Capote said. He said it was Mark Sullivan, a diplomat at the U.S. Interests Section in Havana in 2006-2008 who the program accused of being a CIA agent.
The program showed a picture of Boadle and said he served as a liaison between Capote and the CIA. It added that during Boadle’s “stay in Cuba from March 2002 through 2008 he published reports favouring local counterrevolutionaries and the interests of the United States and the European Union.”
Can you imagine if a right-wing dictatorship pulled this same shit? The usual suspects would be apoplectic with outrage and indignation. But Castro, Inc.? “We must respect their right to self-determination and a different philosophy.” But of course.
Que no jodan. Boadle was no more a serious regime enemy than most of the bloggers Carter met in Cuba are serious regime enemies…there’s a scheme and pattern here.
The scheme was the Bolshevik’s almost a century ago, and was eagerly copied by their star Cuban pupils, as we’re reminded by our friend and Bay of Pigs hero, Miguel Uria:

Frank Sinatra was brilliant in setting up fake Bobby-Soxer fans to scream and swoon in his audiences. The Castros do the same but with fake enemies.
“Those who forget history,” as Santayana famously quipped, “are doomed to repeat it.”
