A bombshell report from the State Department has pulled back the curtain on the Communist Party of Cuba's decades-long, systematic campaign to infiltrate and dismantle American politics, pinpointing U.S. campuses as a "priority" target for subversion.
Titled "Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism," the extensive 100-page document accuses the Cuban regime of waging a "sustained campaign of subversion against the United States" since Fidel Castro's bloody coup in 1959. While ordinary Cubans suffered untold misery, malnutrition, and persecution under Castro's iron fist, the regime was busy pouring its resources into "espionage, infiltration, sabotage, proxy networks, and a revolutionary infrastructure designed to turn America against itself."
The communist regime stands as one of the few nations on the State Department's State Sponsor of Terrorism list – alongside Iran, North Korea, and the soon-to-be-delisted Syria – for its unwavering support of terrorist organizations. This roster of terror includes the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), Hamas, Hezbollah, and even homegrown American terror networks like the notorious Weather Underground. The report's release is particularly poignant, landing just days before July 26, the anniversary of Fidel Castro's infamous Moncada barracks attack in 1953, the supposed genesis of his 'revolution' of chains and despair.
While much of the report delves into Cuba's historical footprint on American terrorism and Marxist radicalism of the 1960s and 1970s, it also lays bare how the Cuban Communist Party, now under 95-year-old dictator Raúl Castro, continues to fan the flames of chaos, violence, and division within America today.
"The Cuban regime functions less as a vehicle for the interests of ordinary Cubans … than a one-stop shop political service for the rotating cast of foreign left-wing activists," the report asserts, a chilling assessment of Havana's true priorities.
Recruiting these radical left-wing activists and cultivating anti-American sentiment on American college campuses emerges as a significant, ongoing branch of these destabilizing operations.
"U.S. universities are one of the premier targets of Cuba’s subversive activities, serving as fertile ground for recruiting ideologically sympathetic young Americans who will ascend to positions of influence, power, and access," the report explains. It continues, "U.S. intelligence analysis and DI [Dirección de Inteligencia, Cuba’s main foreign intelligence agency] defector testimony have both established that Cuban intelligence treats infiltrating American universities as a top priority."
The State Department observed that the communist government has poured resources into building academic ties between American universities and its own institutions, whose supposed educational purpose has been corrupted for decades to relentlessly advance the communist agenda. Cuba’s intelligence arms are "exploiting ideological affinity among left-wing students and faculty to both expand its ‘fellow travelers’ nexus and recruit active agents."
And somehow, they still expect Americans not to notice. "Cuban organizations and academic institutions maintain scholarships, exchange programs and other partnerships with a striking number of elite universities in the United States," the report shares. "As of 2023, the University of Havana – a key node in the Cuban intelligence network – purportedly held educational exchange agreements with nearly 80 U.S. universities."
The communist regime, according to the report, operates through a global web of Marxist agitator groups to ensnare new "talent" for its indoctrination programs, such as the infamous "Venceremos Brigade," once attended by current Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. These groups are designed to foster unrest within the United States. Highlighted as a prominent arm organizing communist activities in America is the People’s Forum, spearheaded by Manolo de los Santos. This group prominently participated in the brazen storming of Columbia University’s Hamilton Hall in late April 2024 and continues to organize pro-Hamas campus activity, exposing the clear link between global communist subversion and domestic radicalism.
“[De Los Santos] has been traveling to Cuba since at least 2009 and has been prominently featured in the Cuban-regime press for almost a decade,” ADN America reported in 2024. “Reports indicate that, back in the U.S., he organized rallies in the U.S. to support the Cuban regime and that he is a staunch admirer of Fidel Castro.” It appears the apple doesn't fall far from the communist tree.
The State Department then dropped another bombshell, noting that the People's Forum experienced "skyrocketing financial backing" beginning in 2021, largely thanks to China-based billionaire Neville Roy Singham. "The group’s rapid rise to prominence tracks with skyrocketing financial backing: At the end of fiscal year 2021, the People’s Forum reported $486,926 in revenue," the State Department highlighted. "By the end of fiscal year 2022, that number was $4,428,869 – a more than 800 percent increase in a single year. …The overwhelming bulk of that funding has come from the political network of Neville Roy Singham."
Unsurprisingly, the People’s Forum is "intimately linked to the Cuban regime," the State Department observed. "Since 2024, the Forum has served as the fiscal sponsor for the Venceremos Brigade."
The State Department first broke the news of this critical report on Cuba’s destabilizing activities to Breitbart News just last week, explaining that it would detail Cuba’s unique and outsized commitment to violent revolution in America. "The report finds that for nearly seven decades, the Cuban regime has played an indispensable role in nearly every notable far-left insurgency, revolution, and militant movement across the Western Hemisphere and beyond," the State Department stated.
This shocking report serves as a stark reminder that while the radical left cries about 'democracy,' America's adversaries are actively exploiting its freedoms to sow discord and undermine the very fabric of our nation. It's a wake-up call for every American who values national security, freedom, and the preservation of our cherished institutions against the insidious forces of communism and its fellow travelers on our own soil.
