@ChathamHouse@ChrisSabatini This guy is soooooooooo wrong. Cuba is infested with a drug epidemic.
The Cuban regime has been involved in drug trafficking for decades.
🧵 Why did I put a photo of Marco Rubio next to Fidel Castro on a story about new U.S. sanctions against Cuba?
1/ Because Secretary of State Rubio just took direct aim at one of Castro’s oldest malign foreign influence and intelligence operations: the “Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples,” or ICAP, the acronym for its name in Spanish, Instituto Cubano de Amistad con los Pueblos.
As a man of Cuban heritage,
Rubio inherited something that he didn’t have to go to school to learn: cultural intelligence.
Everyone has some level of culture intelligence about a culture from which they have emerged or in which they have immersed: it could be PTA tennis-mom culture, suburban New Jersey culture or Cuban culture.
Rubio probably long ago learned the power of these four letters in the culture of communist Cuba: ICAP.
Created in 1960, one year after Castro seized power, ICAP has spent more than six decades cultivating foreign activists, exporting Marxist ideology and building international support for Cuba’s communist regime.
Among those activists:
📍1970s Weather Underground terrorist members
📍Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (as Spencer Pratt highlighted in a recent ad)
📍 CodePink co-founders Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans
📍 Marxist political influencer Hasan Piker
📍 People’s Forum executive director Manolo De Los Santos
📍Progressive International cofounder David Adler
📍 American Marxist tycoon Neville Roy Singham and his Marxist academic father Archibald Singham
These activists deny any wrongdoing.
“For decades, Cuba has been the world capital for radical left-wing terrorism,” Rubio said yesterday.
“The regime in Havana has recruited, trained and backed violent Marxist and third-worldist movements across our hemisphere and beyond.”
Remember that term: “third-wordlist movements.” It is what China and Singham are using as a theme in their push for a “new world order,” led by the pro-Cuba Chinese Communist Party and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
Now Rubio has sanctioned ICAP among 5 Cuban entities, and he’s warned that anyone providing services to sanctioned Cuban actors is at risk. That means, CodePink, Piker, the Singham network.
This is Rubio directly confronting and dismantling the legacy of Castro in the modern U.S. nonprofit network funded by communist donor Neville Roy Singham.
My latest @FoxNews Digital story lays it all out and I’ll explain more in the 🧵:
