[JTN] The now-infamous scenes of far-left activists descending upon Cuba in recent days were preceded by high-level meetings between leaders within the Singham Network and the strongman head of Communist Cuba earlier this month.
Earlier in March, in the lead up to this past weekend’s events, the leaders of the Singham-linked People’s Forum, Tricontential: Institute for Social Research, Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) Coalition, the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), and the International Peoples’ Assembly all traveled to Havana for a warm “solidarity” meeting with Miguel Díaz-Canel, the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba.
The so-called “humanitarian” trips to Cuba over the weekend — which continue to unfold this week — were in large part organized by groups within the activist network tied to and funded by wealthy Marxist and China-based businessman Neville Roy Singham, as well as by the far-left Progressive International (which counts the leftist anti-war group Code Pink, which is personally and financially tied to Singham, as one of its member organizations). |
