Watching over information security and denouncing Washington’s actions in this field has become a strategic issue for Cuba.Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) documents declassified by the U.S. Government reveal that this institution spied on the Cubana de Aviación Company in the 1960s. The evidence demonstrates the CIA’s meticulous monitoring of Cubana de Aviación flights to the island.
The Monroe Doctrine is one of the many means by which the United States has been expanding its hegemonic eagerness over the Latin American and Caribbean region since the early stages of its existence as a nation, Rodriguez pointed out. Over the years, he added, this policy has been reworked and adjusted.
In a surprising display of sincerity, the U.S. government has just admitted that it is Washington that prevents Cuba from accessing the Internet.

Their message of reconciliation has angered pro-embargo politicians like Marco Rubio, who has called for an F.B.I. investigation.
For sixty years the U.S. has sought to create a U.S. policy, in the words of Mallory (1960), that “while as adroit and inconspicuous as possible makes the greatest inroads in denying money and supplies to Cuba, to decrease monetary and real wages, to bring about hunger, desperation and the overthrow of government”.
