Under the suggestive name of the "United States Agency for International Development" are hidden intentions to subvert the constitutional order in sovereign and independent nations.
USAID, an agency of the State Department, which has for decades served as a cover for Washington to finance illegal actions, including coups d'état, against governments elected by their citizens.
Cuba has always been one of the targets of the well-known agency, which has sought to create destabilizing situations to bring about political change in the country.
Millions of dollars have been made available to USAID to promote chaos in Cuban society, an action repeatedly pointed out by the top authorities of our country.
Carlos Fernández de Cossio, U.S. director of the Cuban Foreign Ministry, recently denounced the delivery of money by that entity to organizations that encourge a so-called opposition in the Caribbean nation, such as the DNA, Digital News Association, an anti-Cuban group in Florida.
Some four million dollars from U.S. taxpayers have been given recently to groups linked to the island, with a track record in attacks and campaigns against Cuba, Fernandez de Cossio said on his Twitter account.
USAID has even dedicated funds to attacking Cuban medical aid to other peoples and that has been widely recognized internationally.
It is unfortunate that in the midst of the global health emergency caused by COVID-19, which has resulted in more than 220,000 deaths in the United States so far, that country has been squandering money on actions against other countries, instead of using it to provide an effective response to the pandemic.
USAID does not publish detailed reports about how it spends the funds to achieve the so-called democracy, or how it has ended up in hands of those who have made this anti-Cuban policy big business, off which many make millions of dollars.
However, the list of actions is quite long. At the beginning of this century, representatives of Miami based non-governmental organizations and counterrevolutionary groups, traveled to Cuba pretending to be tourists, only to pay for and supply with technological means to the so-called internal opposition.
We might recall the implementation of subversive plans in the field of telecommunications, which gave life to independent internal networks.
There we have the ZUNZUNEO project, which was aimed at younger generations. Then came PIRAMIDEO, whose purpose was to create a social network of alleged friends for the manipulation and dissemination of false information.
There have been multiple USAID programs against Cuba over all these years, which have not achieved their objective and have served as a source of income for many, squandering the money of U.S. taxpayers, whether they like it or not.
