This counterrevolutionary media outlet, financed by the US State Department and US special services, was denounced before the public as what it truly is: an instrument of subversion against the Greater Antilles.
The denunciation made on Cuban television on Wednesday night brought to light the network of illegal actions that make up the U.S. government’s destabilization strategy against Cuba.
El Toque, a counterrevolutionary media outlet financed by the State Department and U.S. special services, was denounced before the public as what it truly is: an instrument of subversion against the Cuba.
For decades, the US has been determined to defeat the rebellious archipelago. How many times have they tried to provoke social unrest in Cuba and repeat episodes fabricated by them in other regions of the world?
In recent years, they have tripled the budget for the multifaceted war against the Greater Antilles; the objective has been to cause as much pain as possible, using hardship as a weapon, hunger and many other evils, true horsemen of the Apocalypse, unleashed on the people to destroy their capacity for resistance, demoralize them, and defeat them.
The economic blockade, linked to constant psychological aggression, has been carried out with surgical precision. They are betting on creating a chaotic scenario, shutting down our homes, paralyzing industry, transportation, and life itself.
As a fundamental element, the U.S. intelligence community is carrying out a strategy to distort Cuban finances and induce inflation within the Cuban market.
The economic warfare strategy is divided into several stages: shortages, induced inflation, supply boycotts, and financial blockade to limit the inflow of foreign currency into the country, mainly dollars. These actions focused primarily on undermining tourism and medical services.
The second phase includes the use of platforms financed by the US administration, such as El Toque, to stimulate inflation. The background to this phenomenon can be found in similar procedures carried out by Washington in Nicaragua, Zimbabwe, Argentina (Dólar Blue, via Telegram) and Venezuela (Dólar Today, via the web).
El Toque, under the pretext of providing “independent” and “objective” information, serves to degrade the income level of the population through speculative manipulation of the exchange rate.
As Cuban Television rightly denounced, its director, José Jasán Nieves, is a recipient of money from the US State Department. With part of these dollars, which are handed over while attempting to conceal the dark purpose behind such action, the aim is to train “leaders of change” from the private sector of the economy.
In the style of professional speculators who thrive on the poverty of the majority, without any real economic event to motivate it, the exchange rate rises or falls, moving mysteriously, always in favor of its operators.
Currency trafficking, financial speculation, and mercenaryism were denounced; it is a lucrative business that thrives at the expense of the Cuban people, crimes that are severely punished by international law.
