The State Department published an extensive report on Monday detailing how the Communist Party of Cuba has invested over half a century in the infiltration and destruction of American politics, accusing the communists of setting the infiltration of campuses as a “priority.” The 100-page report, titled “Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism,” accused the Cuban regime of waging a “sustained campaign of subversion against the United States” since a violent coup d’etat led by mass murderer Fidel Castro took over the island nation in 1959.
While the vast majority of Cubans at home were subject to malnutrition, severe political and religious persecution, and regime-led slavery for decades, the Castro regime focused its finances and resources on “espionage, infiltration, sabotage, proxy networks, and a revolutionary infrastructure designed to turn America against itself.” The communist regime is one of three nations on the State Department’s State Sponsor of Terrorism list – alongside Iran, North Korea, and soon-to-be-delisted Syria – for its sustained support of a variety of terrorist organizations including but not limited to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), Hamas, Hezbollah, and American terror networks such as the Weather Underground.
The release of the State Department report comes about a week before one of the biggest holidays imposed by the Castro regime, the anniversary of the July 16 terrorist attack on the Moncada barracks by Fidel Castro and his henchmen in 1953, considered the defining event of his bloody “revolution.” While much of the report focuses on the historic nefarious influence of the Cuban regime on American terrorism and Marxist activism in the 1960s and 1970s, the report also details how the Cuban Communist Party today, under 95-year-old dictator Raúl Castro, continues to fuel chaos, violence, and division within America.
“The Cuban regime functions less as a vehicle for the interests of ordinary Cubans … than a one-stop shop political service for the rotating cast of foreign left-wing activists,” the report asserted.
Recruiting these left-wing activists and fostering anti-American sentiment on American college campuses is a significant branch of these destabilizing activities, according to the report.
universities are one of the premier targets of Cuba’s subversive activities, serving as fertile ground for recruiting ideologically sympathetic young Americans who will ascend to positions of influence, power, and access,” the report explained.
