USAID’ s ZunZuneo – Just the Tip of the Iceberg

The disclosure by the U.S. news agency AP of a hidden U.S. plan to create a “Cuban Twitter” is just the tip of the iceberg of a large and dirty subversive plan using new technologies

The startling allegations recently made by the AP investigation on the existence, for years, of a secret project of the International Development Agency of the United States (USAID) to create an alleged “Cuban Twitter” called ZunZuneo actually are just the tip of the iceberg of the massive subversive campaign mounted against Cuba
The use of shell companies from third countries, the diversion of money, hiring mercenaries disguised as technological entrepreneurs, both inside and outside of Cuba; mounting covert operations that violate U.S. laws, international telecommunications, and even the use of illegal funds without Congress even being informed of the northern country, seem to be common denominators of these operations.
Programs may have different names and come from multiple sources, from USAID itself, the International Republican Institute (IRI), the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (IND) or the Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB), but all have the common goal for years, trying unsuccessfully to divide the people and overthrow the Cuban Revolution.
Spam networks
The Cuban mass SMS phones, whose numbers were fraudulently obtained, thereby violating the privacy of citizens and their own laws regulating communications in the United States were one of the key strategies used by ZunZuneo project.
Ever since that time, Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Cuba, Etecsa, notified over 200 suppliers SMS Centers, officially informing them that some of these platforms were sending unwanted messages or “spam” behavior usually rejected by international operators .
