Havana/Donald Trump’s invasion to Cuba is just around the corner. The rumor – with endless comments, reactions and conspiracy theories – has been repeated hundreds of times in January. The tension of the regime before the hostile movements of the north was the justification, some argue, to convene the exercise, when families still cried the death of 13 military in a Holguin arsenal.
The bastion is attributed, among the users, two unst declared objectives. First, reaffirm the moral of the armed forces with a national deployment of troops and weapons. Thus, they allege the rumors, the tragedy of melons – where an explosion of obsolete war material caused death, at the beginning of January, of officers and recruits – would be overshadowed by the mobilization.
The second purpose – which was increasingly repeated in networks as the Trump government announced measures that affected the finances of the Cuban army – was the relocation of the armament, in particular war tanks and anti -aircraft artillery from Russia, at key points and “aimed at Florida.”
It was even said that the explosion in melons occurred precisely during one of those Russian weapons manipulations
It was even said that the explosion in melons occurred precisely during one of those manipulations of Russian weapons, in this case Missiles SA-16 Gimlet supposedly sent by Vladimir Putin as a military guarantee against a surprising attack by Washington. On the other hand, the official press also gave what to talk about when he insisted, in each note about the bastion, that an emphasis had been placed on the anti -aircraft preparation of the military, because in the Cuban imaginary any invasion of the United States will be accompanied by bombing From heaven.
Any confrontation between Cuba and the US has-according to rumors-a clear winner, and is not Miguel Díaz-Canel. To the president, who did not remove the olive green uniform until the bastion ended and implied that the scenario of an aggression remained “real”, many users attribute a “escape plan approved by Raúl Castro.” Where to? The usual assumptions point to Caracas and Moscow as destinations of asylum. With Díaz-Canel I would travel, they add, the entire main flat of the regime.
On the real caliber of Trump’s interest in Cuba, much has been speculated. In mid -January lists of alleged measures circulated that the Republican would take against the Cuban regime. Armed intervention and economic suffocation were the common factors of these “plans” of the White House. There were those who got to the attack date: January 30.
If on January 20 – Trump’s investiture effect – it was relevant to Cuba, it was no less on 10, when he received the presidential band Nicolás Maduro. As it happened during the July elections in Venezuela, it circulated abundance of rumors about the military interference of the island in Caracas.
It was said that Havana had sent hundreds of soldiers to the Venezuelan capital to support the investiture and that the security of the Cuban State supervised the entire process. In addition, another rumor assured that the entire island was militarized with a view to the investiture and that the Internet service was cut in many places since January 8.
Rumors about the activities of Sandro Castro, grandson of Fidel Castro, have increased since he celebrated his birthday in Havana. Now it is attributed to having converted one of the Castro family protocol houses in the warehouse of his bar, Efe. Supposedly, use that residence to negotiate because it is outside the police radar and agents are prohibited from investigating the place. However, another rumor states that an officer arrested Sandro Castro for driving with speeding. By showing him his documents, the police –arran – had to let him go without a fine.

Violence and crisis are still part of the series of recurring rumors about Cuba. Police found a body in the San Miguel del Padrón river, according to a rumor. Others denounce the death of an eight -year -old boy in Havana for lack of ambulances and that of a 19th young man in Santa Cruz del Sur, Camagüey, without specifying the causes of death.
A young man was brutally beaten by the police in Matanzas, according to a complaint. Photos and videos of the agents’ beating were shared, which ended up leaving the young man on the ground. Supposedly, they had not given medical attention at the hospital of the municipality of Colón and began to protest. The agents arrived to quell their protest and lashed out at him. Another video shows a policeman shooting in the air during an operation in Santa Clara.
Usual also remains the consumption of chemicalthe drug of the moment in Cuba. In a matter of months the images of addicts in full “ecstasy” have been multiplied. In schools the situation has reached alarming levels and a secret report of the Provincial Directorate of Education, in Camagüey, cited by a user, describes it with two unequivocal words: “total chaos.”
