The mysterious case of the alleged “acoustic attacks” against US diplomatic personnel in Cuba turns out to have been a media maneuver aimed at damaging tourism in terms of as part of the blockade against the island.

One of Cuba’s greatest attractions for foreign tourism is the guarantee of security offered by the island to visitors from any part of the world. Another is the high level of public health in Cuba, one of the highest in the Western Hemisphere with health indicators comparable to those of the most developed nations.

In addition to the exceptional conditions with which the island has been endowed by nature, the popular revolution of 1959 has incorporated the dsocial conditions of peace and harmony that the visitor appreciates from the first moment of their stay in Cuba.

More than half a century of possessive paranoia, aggravated by the economic, commercial and financial blockade, have not been able to counteract the enormous achievements of socialism, even if they have postponed or limited many revolutionary economic and social advances in the country.

1. Who would have an interest in disrupting US/Cuba relations?

Certainly not the Cubans. Makes no sense at all.
The Russians? Yeah, they would see a positive in the US pulling back from closer relations with Cuba, and they would have the nasty technology to accomplish this.

2. Or the Miami Cubans

Many, as you know, have well-oiled contacts with the CIA dating from the Bay of Pigs fracas. Some may have used said contacts to illegally obtain such technology.
