Specialized observatories that analyze U.S. media outlets used by the enemy as tools of communication warfare have confirmed that Axios “doesn’t function solely as a newsroom covering Cuba, but rather as a conduit for leaks, narrative framing, and signals emanating from the State Department.”
In other words, a nest where psychological warfare is orchestrated by the aforementioned Department, with Marco Rubio as the conductor of the anti-Cuban vengeful offensive, advised by Mauricio Claver-Carone and Jeremy Lewin. Claver-Carone operates silently, pulling strings of pressure, threats, and ultimatums, while Lewin takes center stage with fiery diatribes reminiscent of anti-Cuban congressmen associated with the mafia, both on social media and in carefully orchestrated appearances, all from his position as Acting Assistant Secretary.
Regarding the latest publication or episode, which attempts to reaffirm repeated lies about the alleged “threat” from Cuba to U.S. national security, the prevailing interpretation is that the media outlet—just as it did against Venezuela prior to the aggression against that country—is now orchestrating, with the drone hoax and the manipulation of the CIA director’s visit to Havana, a propaganda operation, psychological preparation for conflict, and the fabrication of consent for an escalation against the island, where the bellicose narrative dangerously shifts from the political to the military sphere.
Axios is part of a network serving Rubio’s destructive plan, which also includes Politico, El Nuevo Herald, The New York Times, Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and others that receive thousands of dollars to reproduce prefabricated messages designed to prejudice American audiences and international public opinion, and to poison the minds of Cuban social media users, who instantly reproduce and amplify the central ideas of interest to the Secretary of State and his cronies.
A recent study of the anti-Cuban publications in the aforementioned US media outlet concludes that there has been a shift in language from “contacts” to “operations,” from “negotiation” to “security,” conveying to readers the idea that Cuba is moving from a political issue to a potential theater of intervention.
It is no coincidence that Axios’s latest leaks, distortions, and lies occurred after the Cuban Revolutionary Government’s May 14th announcement regarding a visit to Cuba by CIA Director John Ratcliffe, who met with counterparts from the Department of the Interior.
It was too difficult for Rubio and his advisors to read that “the information provided by the Cuban side and the exchanges held with the US delegation categorically demonstrated that Cuba does not constitute a threat to US national security, nor are there legitimate reasons to include it on the list of countries that allegedly sponsor terrorism.”
Likewise, those attempting to escalate aggression and collective punishment through new sanctions, military intimidation, and the fabrication of interventionist pretexts found it counterproductive to hear the news, repeated worldwide by their own media outlets, that the visit had demonstrated “the interest of both parties in developing bilateral cooperation between law enforcement agencies, for the sake of the security of both nations, as well as regional and international security.”
Contrary to the interests of those who use Axios as a breeding ground for conflict, its falsehoods are becoming less and less credible. Distrust of the outlet, its anonymous intelligence sources, and the U.S. political-military apparatus is growing, despite the sophistication of its cover-ups, and its leaks are largely interpreted as war lies, psychological operations, and media manipulation, while the perception persists that Cuba is the victim of constant and escalating threats from the U.S. government.
