Cuban bloggers like Yoani Sanchez and young exiles who reach out to
their counterparts on the island are part of a U.S. campaign to
overthrow the Castro government, according to a secret Cuban video
posted on the Internet.
The video also alleges Washington launched a secret effort in 2008 to
create 10 wi-fi points around the island that would have allowed up to
250 computers access to the Internet through satellite telephones --
totally independent of Cuban government controls.
The nearly one-hour video appears to be of a secret June 2010 lecture on
the Internet's dangers to the revolution, delivered by an Internet
expert to an audience of men and women in military uniforms -- likely
Armed Forces or Interior Ministry officers.
Its content largely repeats the Cuban government's allegations that
independent bloggers and groups like Raices de Esperanza -- Roots of
Hope, an organization of young exiles that has been establishing
contacts with youths in Cuba -- are part of a U.S. campaign to undermine
the Castro government.
Perhaps more surprising is the appearance on the Internet of what is
clearly a secret lecture to Cuban security officials.
Available at http://vimeo.com/19402730, the video appears to have been
first posted on the Internet by a person identified as Black Coral. It
was also posted by the Spain-based blog Penultimos Días.
