Under the title Espionaje Internacional: Objetivo Cuba (international espionage: target Cuba), the publication announced it had access to thousands of classified documents, in which it is evident how Cuban diplomats and officials, leftist political leaders, journalists and social leaders were spied on.
In declarations to Prensa Latina news agency, Raya-s Editor-in-Chief Edison Bolaño explained that, via confidential sources, he was able to gain access to more than a thousand files which reflect a whole espionage apparatus against Cuba and its diplomatic corps based in Colombia.
According to the magazine, information was adulterated in the computer of a guerrilla chief to blame Cuba for the violent protest in Colombia at the end of 2019 and during 2020 and 2021.
The investigation points out that the espionage operation was named objective Charlie and developed, mainly, during the government of Iván Duque.
It also warns of documents in English under the name Secret/Rel to USA, Colombia that “come from U.S. intelligence agents.” This makes it clear that the U.S. agents were also interested in obtaining information from Cuban diplomats in Colombia. (International News Office)

There’s a worrying sign in the University of Michigan’s survey of consumer trends: “The problem is that wealthy Americans aren’t excited, and that may signal further pain ahead for markets and the economy as a whole.” . The rich do not want to spend and, as a consequence, everyone suffers.
CNN clarifies that the top 20% income segment is responsible for up to 40% of US consumer spending, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. An economy based on consumption suffers if there is a contraction of this.
CNN is concerned about how that will be reflected in the stock values of the nation’s top consumer companies: Amazon, Home Depot, among others. Per capita spending using credit cards has fallen, a bad sign for banks and finance companies.
CNN does not speak, as a possible solution to the problem, of horizontalizing consumption more, so that it is not concentrated in the richest segment. That is, make society more equitable. The idea that the rich is a necessity for the economy to function is one of the most defended ideological mantras of capitalism: without the rich there will be greater poverty.
The idea is not only defended in the US, it is constantly exported to all corners.
Disguised as unquestionable reality, the ideology of the economic need of the rich is just a myth. A myth carefully erected and cared for. The stubborn reality shows another side: the rich get rich at the expense of the poverty of others, not in favor of them. Continue reading Rich and Poor
