Some eagle-eyed viewers caught the inconsistency. The same footage – but with the slogans clearly visible – can be seen, for example, in a Deutsche Welle report on the situation in Cuba. Demonstrators declaring that “the streets belong to the revolutionaries” are probably not the kind of Cuban protesters that Senator Cruz had in mind.

    In the same news broadcast they “interviewed” a random Cuban on the streets that was part of the “protests”, and they “translated” him as saying that the government was evil and must be overthrown, that Fidel was a monster, etc…

    The man was Miguel Diaz-Canel… The president of Cuba and the head of the Communist Party…

        Yes, it actually happened… and it wasn’t even a protest, it was a citizen organized political rally in support of the government and Miguel came out to support them, talk to the citizens, and give a small speech 💀

        Western Media really just put in videos of Cubans protesting in support of the government, and then framed them as “Freedom loving protesters”.

        I can’t find the exact video at the moment, but here is a breakdown of the “protests” by a Pro-Cuban analyst/professor, and they describe Miguel visiting and speaking to Cuban people on the streets on the morning of the 11th. The same trip that the media used clips of to show an “Anti-Cuban Protester”. In the breakdown and analysis, you can also literally smell the attempted CIA colour revolution, it’s laughable how awful they did.

    Ted Cruz, the Texan senator from Canada with a gusano father, is definitely the expert one should ask when it comes to a absolutely laughable attempt at a colour revolution in Cuba.

    Peter Griffin voice “You think THAT’S bad, what about the time NBC depicted Cuban President Canel as a protestor?”
