Murderous History Of USAID, US Agency Behind Cuba's Fake Twitter - PopularResistance.Org

By Mark Ames for Pando - Mark Weisbrot, Center for Economic and Policy Research Last week, we learned from the Associated Press that USAID (United States Agency for International Development) — the government agency which manages billions in overseas “humanitarian” aid programs — plotted to overthrow Cuba’s communist regime via a covertly-funded fake Twitter platform. The idea was to get Cuba’s youth to sign up for ZunZuneo (Cuban slang for the sound hummingbirds make—get it?) without anyone knowing about USAID’s involvement, get the kids hooked on pointless tweeting, collect all sorts of data on the users, and then rile them into an anti-regime rage — a “Cuban Spring” revolution.

    I’m having a lot of trouble finding a link to the article in the very first sentence of that.

    Edit: seem to be referencing https://apnews.com/united-states-government-4ff07787ff8c45f4ba2a1d7d1e5644c6
