Titolo: i famosi dissidenti cubani non contano un emerito cazzo e sono solo buoni a ladrare soldi agli yankee

lo dicono gli yankee, non Fidel...
HAVANA (Reuters) - Despite years of U.S. political and financial
support for Cuban dissidents, the top U.S. diplomat in Havana said
opposition leaders are largely unknown, badly divided and unlikely to
ever run the country, according to a secret diplomatic cable obtained
by WikiLeaks.
U.S. Interests Section chief Jonathan Farrar said the dissidents
deserved backing as the "conscience of Cuba," but Washington "should
look elsewhere, including within the government itself, to spot likely
successors to the Castro regime."
"We see very little evidence that the mainline dissident organizations
have much resonance among ordinary Cubans," Farrar said. Without
changes, he said, "the traditional dissident movement is not likely to
supplant the Cuban government."
The cable, published on Thursday by Spanish newspaper El Pais, is one
of 250,000 confidential U.S. diplomatic cables Wikileaks has begun
issuing on the Internet and provided to a number of media outlets.
Farrar's comments, made in a cable dated April 15, 2009, raise
questions about the wisdom of the United States' longtime policy of
supporting Cuban dissidents as an alternative to the Communist
government that has ruled the island since a 1959 revolution put Fidel
Castro in power.
Despite claims they are supported by thousands of Cubans, Farrar said
"informal polls we have carried out among visa and refugee applicants
have shown virtually no awareness of dissident personalities or
agendas."
He described the dissident movement as largely ineffectual, due to
factors including internal conflict, outsized egos, preoccupation with
money, outdated agendas and infiltration by the Cuban government.
"The greatest effort is directed at obtaining enough resources to keep
the principal organizers and their key supporters living from day to
day," Farrar wrote.
MONEY AND MISTRUST
He told of one political party organization that told him "quite
openly and frankly it needed resources to pay salaries" and presented
him "with a budget in hopes the (interests section) would be able to
cover it."
"With seeking resources as a primary concern, the next most important
pursuit seems to be to limit or marginalize the activities of
erstwhile allies, thus preserving power and access to scarce
resources," he said.
Cuba views dissidents as mercenaries in the pay of the United States
and allied with anti-Castro Cuban exiles.
Farrar said dissidents get "much of their resources" from exile
groups, but also look upon the exiles with suspicion.
"Opposition members of all stripes complain the intention of the
exiles is to undercut local opposition groups so that they can move
into power when the Castros leave," he wrote.
Dissident leaders tend to be "comparatively old" and out of touch with
a Cuban society less concerned with freeing political prisoners than
"having greater opportunities to travel freely and live comfortably,"
Farrar wrote.
