The national security of the United States depends on the freedom of Cuba

For 67 years, through 13 US presidents, the Cuban dictatorship has institutionalized human rights violations through state terrorism, created and sustained guerrilla warfare and international terrorism, invaded and interfered with sovereignty and independence, survived the communist defeat of the Cold War, acted as a narco-state, engaged in human trafficking, served as a hub for the expansion of extra-hemispheric dictatorships, and has an endless record of crimes. The Cuban dictatorship is a permanent aggressor and oppressor with an anti-imperialist narrative. The national security of the US and the Americas depends on the freedom of Cuba.

There is no crime, offense, or act of violence—direct or indirect—that the Cuban dictatorship has failed to commit for over 67 years, with complete impunity and under the guise of anti-imperialist revolution. The history of terror, bloodshed, and crimes against humanity that began against the Cuban people was quickly internationalized, staining every country in the Americas, Africa, the Middle East, and beyond with blood. Invasions, terrorist attacks, the formation of guerrilla groups, criminal infiltration, destabilization efforts and conspiracies, drug trafficking, human trafficking, mercenaries… all carried out with sovereign immunities.

The Cuban dictatorship went from internal state terrorism to becoming the main communist operator in the Cold War, perpetrating direct attacks such as the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, organizing urban and rural guerrillas, training and protecting international terrorists, invasions, destabilization efforts, kidnappings, assassinations, and political assassinations—crimes without end. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was sustained by the São Paulo Forum, led by Lula da Silva, and later by Hugo Chávez's intervention in Venezuela, which began in 1999.

The genocide perpetrated by the Cuban dictatorship against its own people, against the peoples of the Americas, and against the United States constitutes an “encyclopedia of crimes” because they have committed and continue to commit “every crime imaginable.” These crimes have been concealed for decades under the guise of revolution, with the complicity of governments, leaders, intellectuals, artists, religious figures, and a long list of fixers who still cling to the ploy of blaming the nonexistent embargo for the criminal conduct, corruption, and disgrace of Fidel and Raúl Castro, their families, and their entourages, now operated by Miguel Díaz-Canel and a militarized mafia.

After the implosion of the Soviet Union, US foreign policy persuaded Latin American democracies that the Cuban dictatorship would fall on its own because it was dying in its Special Period, something that might have happened if Hugo Chávez hadn't initiated the rescue of the dictatorship by handing over Venezuela in 1999. Chávez, and then the shift in US foreign policy with its withdrawal from Latin America after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, created the conditions for the 21st century, instead of being one of "full democracy," to be the "century of the expansion of the Cuban dictatorship," as head of the most successful transnational organized crime organization, which today traffics in slave doctors and provides troops to Russia in the invasion of Ukraine.

The Cuban dictatorship expanded its model in Venezuela with Chávez/Maduro/Rodríguez, Nicaragua with Ortega/Murillo, Bolivia with Morales/Arce, and Ecuador with Correa. Furthermore, through election manipulation, it seized control of governments in democratic countries, eventually dominating all of Latin America. Its power was demonstrated at the 2015 Summit of the Americas in Panama with the recognition of the US government, the Vatican, most European governments, and the support of dictatorships like China, Russia, Iran, and others.

Today, the following governments are in power as democracies serving the Cuban dictatorship—dictatorial in their own right: Mexico with López Obrador/Sheinbaum, Brazil with Lula, Colombia with Petro, Chile with Boric, and Honduras with Castro, in addition to the shameful support of Sánchez's Spain. These governments support, cover up for, and sustain the Cuban dictatorship so that it can continue to attack the United States and the democracies of the Americas, while starving the defenseless Cuban people.

Following the January 3rd operation that brought Nicolás Maduro, head of the narco-state usurping Venezuela's sovereignty, to justice, the US has begun the "extraordinary challenge of dismantling the Venezuelan dictatorship/narco-state with its own mafiosos." The main risk lies in the fact that the Cuban dictatorship continues to control the strategy and the Venezuelan regime through the Rodríguez family, Cabello, Padrino, and the entire criminal structure that seeks to maintain power with impunity by "giving space in exchange for time," betting that Trump 47 will be the 14th US president they manipulated.

The freedom of Venezuela, Nicaragua, Bolivia, and Cuba, the stability and national security of the United States, and all the democracies of the Americas depend on ending the transnational organized crime group that has held power in Cuba for 67 years. Anything else is merely submission to Castro's rules, which will ultimately prevail if the necessary steps are not taken by 2026 to restore freedom to the Cuban people.
