A new State Department report released Monday exposes the Cuban regime’s nearly seven-decade campaign of subversion, espionage, and ideological warfare aimed at undermining the United States from within.

 

Far from a simple economic failure, Havana operates as a sophisticated intelligence and influence machine whose founding mission remains the destruction of America through infiltration, proxy support, and turning citizens against their own country.

The report details Cuba’s extensive espionage network that penetrated the State Department, National Security Council, and Pentagon, alongside front groups used to recruit and radicalize Americans. It highlights Havana’s long history of training guerrillas, backing insurgencies across Latin America, and supporting violent left-wing movements. This ideological framework, advanced through conferences and propaganda promoting anti-Western and racial grievances, helped shape radical movements that continue to influence U.S. unrest.

The document links Cuban networks to events including the George Floyd riots, the rise of Antifa, and surging pro-terror activism on college campuses. Cuba also hosts foreign military, intelligence, and terrorist installations from adversaries such as Russia, China, and Iran, serving as a key hub connecting these forces with domestic radicals.

While pursuing this sustained assault, the regime keeps its own population in hunger, darkness, and conditions akin to modern slavery amid a chronically failing economy. The report warns that Cuba’s power lies in its ideological and parasitic subversion, not material strength — a durable threat that has outlasted the Soviet Union.
