The United States engineered a text messaging network in Cuba to try and spread unrest in the communist country. More than 40,000 people have shared news and opinions using the service.

The documents obtained by the Associated Press state the project was led by Joe McSpedon, a US government official, who attracted a team of high-tech wizards from around the globe to set up a site that could reach hundreds of thousands of Cubans.

The Caribbean island has some of the world’s most stringent internet regulations, so text messaging via cellphones would help to evade the country’s strict information controls. Since Fidel Castro handed over power to his brother Raul, the use of mobile technology has been encouraged. Cubans were given the opportunity to call one another or send text messages, though the cost was high, given that the average salary is just $20 per month.

The network was called ZunZuneo, which was a play on twitter, with the word being slang for a Cuban hummingbird’s tweet. The project was financed by the US Agency for international development (USAID), best known for overseeing billions of dollars in US humanitarian aid.

The initial plan was to gain users by allowing access to light news stories, such as baseball bulletins, music and weather updates. However, once a critical number of subscribers was reached, operators would introduce political stories aimed at tarnishing the reputation of the Cuban government, with the aim of creating a ‘Cuban Spring’.

Critical mass was important for the USAID because, due to public demand, it would be much harder for the Cuban government to shut it down, while Cubacel, the cell phone company, would have seen a mass increase in their profits.

USAID staff had noted that text messaging had been a popular fuse in starting political uprisings in Moldova and the Philippines. At its peak, the site had more than 40,000 subscribers, who were never aware that the network was created by the US government.

"There will be absolutely no mention of United States government involvement," according to a 2010 memo from Mobile Accord, one of the project's contractors. "This is absolutely crucial for the long-term success of the service and to ensure the success of the mission."

The US government’s actions have already caught the attention of one American politician, senator Patrick Leahy, who is a Democrat from Vermont, who said, “On the face of it there are several aspects about this which are troubling.”

"There is the risk to young, unsuspecting Cuban cellphone users who had no idea this was a US government-funded activity. There is the clandestine nature of the program that was not disclosed to the appropriations subcommittee with oversight responsibility.”

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney responded Thursday, saying the program was completed in 2012, and that it was conducted out in the open, approved by lawmakers, and analyzed by government watchdogs.

“Suggestions that this was a covert program are wrong,” Carney said. “Congress funds democracy programming to Cuba to help empower Cubans to access more information and to strengthen civil society.

These appropriations are public, unlike covert action. The money invested has been debated in Congress. In addition, [the Government Accountability Office] reviewed this program in detail in 2013, and found it was conducted in accordance with US law and under appropriate oversight controls.”

Carney added that while it was not a secret program, the government was “discreet” about its operations, as it was conducted in Cuba, a “non-permissive environment.”

“That’s how you protect the practitioners and the public,” he said. “This is not unique to Cuba.”

There are a number of questions regarding the projects legality. US law requires that any covert action by a federal agency must have presidential authorization. Officials at USAID would not say who had approved the program or whether the White House was aware of it. McSpedon, the most senior official named in the documents obtained by the AP, is a mid-level manager and he declined to comment.

To try and hide their tracks, they used a maze of different companies, with a bank account from the Cayman Islands to make sure that no one could ever find out this was an operation set up by the United States.

Although the project had hoped to obtain 400,000 subscribers, they eventually decided to cap the number at 40,000 by the end March 2011, which was less than one percent of the population of Cuba.

Interest was being lost in the project with every month that passed, and, by the summer of 2012, Cubans began to complain that the service was inconsistent, and then one day it just disappeared.

The USAID say that did not have any more money available for the project, while the Cuban government decided not to comment.

Americans see democracy as election time every four years
and that is size of it. It would be very interesting if real international community (this term used by American administration is a joke) take a look at American plutocracy and start world wide media campaign to show the world that American democracy is indeed war mongering, killing, raping, torture in the name of their neoconservative mafia "national interest". Sometimes I have a feeling that Al Capone is sitting in White House.

But Uncle Sam is really incorrigible, if he still doesn't realize that Cuba is a nation of highly educated people, with political awareness unmatched by any other nation in the world. The trick which works in North Africa and some European countries will never succeed in Cuba.

Revolutionary Cuba has seen many administrations come and go in Washington, and it will see more still. If the Cuban people no longer wanted the Revolution, then it would be gone.

It is amazing how much "concern" (ha, ha, ha...) has US government for the people living outside of US, but somehow it shows much less concern for it's own citizens, which it shows by cutting their unemployment benefits and food stamps among other things, but somehow finds enough money (billions and bilions) for "foreign aid". Very interesting phenomenon..

Not to mention that the president can spend without limits on entertainment and travel. Billions could be saved by slashing the budget of congress and the white house by 80%.

The full story of this operation is far more revealing. The US set up a front in Spain, which then used the cell business to attempt to determine potentially politically active cell phone user's political views (an illegal invasion of privacy) via reactions to tweets, ferreting out potential cell users useful to a future "smart mob" protest, as the longer article from AP carried on Huffington Post, but unfortunately edited in the RT shorter version.

The critical feature of the program, relevant to Ukraine, is the breach of law by collecting cell users political views, that served as its basis, and was going to be used to create "smart mob" future protests, which may give insight into how the US aid agencies, via the State department also, organized/manipulate d the social unrest in Ukraine.

Before Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba by CIA, British intelligence analysis, provided to the CIA, indicated that 'the Cuban people were predominantly behind Castro, and that there was no likelihood of mass defections or insurrections'. They tried to invade anyway. Kennedy (like Kerry) who knew this lied "I have emphasized before that this was a struggle of Cuban patriots against a Cuban dictator. ...we made it repeatedly clear that the armed forces of this country would not intervene in any way" But he knew that the CIA had used and paid dissidents to do it.

USAID is not nor has it ever been a "humanitarian nor for that matter a "development&qu ot; organization as its name implies.
What it has always been was a covert arm for the State Department, the CIA and the Pentagon. I could give you many examples but R restricts our posts' lenght. So let me mention the most infamous instant.
USAID systematically provided the cadres and assassins for the CIA's Operation Phoenix in Vietnam responsible for the murder of over 20,000 (by William Colby's admission in front of the Church Commission) Vietnamese civilians deemed sympathetic to the Viet Cong.

US stats show 1/6 of the US is on food stamps which officially makes 1/6 of them living in poverty. The "land of the free" has the highest % of population incarcerated of any nation and that does not even include those on parole , home detention or suspended sentence.

If governments in the still-free World had the guts to explain to their people the Illuminati conspiracy (its existence is common knowledge in EVERY top political, financial and military circle in the World) nobody had to worry about such things.

Sam e thing for Russia, gov is doing all this kind of laws and regulations but if they explained what was going on they wouldnt need any law and regulation conserning the issue of subversions, color revolutions and other shady business.

This is pathetic RT, just because a American company started up a text service that is used by 40,000 people, which is the size of a small town in my u.k by the way you flat out accuse them of trying to cause open revolt. wipe the rabid foam from your chin RT and start again.

There is a difference between western freedom and Freedom.

Th e western freedom you advocate is corporate enslavement, mass destitution and misery, social destruction, family destruction, criminality, drug abuse, prostitution, deviant practices.

Take ur 'democratic freedom' and stick it in ur 'democratic avatar'

U mad bro?

Delete your account from twitter if your so against the west. You bums on here talking about the west and it's corporate enslavement but your sitting here using technology created by corporate america.

Spreading hate about America???? Really man?? I think the USA does a pretty good by itself in making people hate them without the help of RT, lol.

If America would stop putting its nose into everyones business and stop dropping drone bombs on random families then I bet alot of people would stop hating on us as much. Lets not forget that we also try to tell other countries what to do and if they don't do it then we sanction them or worse, we bomb them and attempt to overthrow their Government.

RT "The United States engineered a text messaging network in Cuba to try and spread unrest in the communist country".

I first read this article on another online news website, and the article was not written in a biased manner like RT did. How did RT know the US intent behind the mobile network messaging set up?

The y will pick a particular Political issue in a target Country and will then use Software to analayse the data. This data will be then used to stir up trouble in target country.

No t all the people who are doing this work are in full knowlege of what they are actually doing.

Not long after 911 the Bush admin announced concern that Cuba might have "WMDs" and "ties to international terrorist groups".

The US oligarchy has wanted Cuba for a long time, and the "war on terror" is just part of they way they plan to get it.

Enter handheld electronics. As the US is talking about the rule of law internationally they're trying to subvert a nearby government for the interests of the worst of the US' own criminals.

The US government wants to lay down the law to everyone else but doesn't want to obey any laws themselves, and that's what "American exceptionalism" is really all about.

Clearly the Cuban government fears it's own people, or it would not have had implemented such strict internet censorship in the first place. Twitter could spread unrest in the USA, so why doesn't it? And despite the fact that it's the world's biggest tyrant!

What that means is that the little tyrants are hypocrites too.

So does Communism mean no communication allowed?

Do es Capitalism mean that only people with skullcaps may speak?

Does Socialism mean jobs in the army? What of the others?

"The island in the Caribbean has some of the world’s most stringent internet regulations"

Although interference in other countries' matters is wrong, I think this is a good way of providing Cubans with the opportunity to communicate outside the supervision of their government.

yeah, giving Cubans the tools that most of the rest of the world have is really destabilizing. No doubt about it.

The U.S.Government must be masochistic in nature. Its already the most hated in the world, but apparently its not satisfied with this, impersonating little Oliver and asking for more. Arent they satisfied with the mess they created in Kiev ? How much more misery in the world do they intend to create before the entire planet turns against it ?
