Company behind Zunzuneo, the Cuban twitter

[flamingdem]

The blog AlongtheMalecon had a company listed in Costa Rica a few years ago that was getting a lot of USAID money. I always thought that was curious. Turns out it was sucking down part of the 30 million of taxpayer money handed to USAID.

From AlongtheMalecon today - see related articles from years past at link:

Mobile Accord, ZunZuneo and Pakistan

The Pakistan ruse

The U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, managed the project. Creative Associates International was the contractor and Denver-based Mobile Accord Inc. was one of the subcontractors.
Mobile Accord's $1.69 million contract with USAID called for "short message service support to be provided to displaced people in the northwest frontier of Pakistan."

Instead, Mobile Accord developed ZunZuneo.

Some of the work on the project took place in Costa Rica, where Creative Associates International had set up a secret base.

1. And you think this goes on solely for the Cuban American exiles in Florida.

The money for anti Cuba (as well as pro normalization) activities is widespread.
There's many more players that/who are not Cuban American exiles. Cuba policy, both pro and con = Money.
