Have a leftest friend who said she's looked into the Cuban protest and doesn't think there is any outside involvement. Obviously a lot of signs are there but I suck at articulating ideas, if there are some good sources I could send to her it would be great.
Edit: thanks for the info, looks like she was closer to correct then I was.
The protest could have been just local chuds, it was like 100 people, but the massive media and social media hype it's getting is 100% the imperial consent manufacturing machine in action.
