looks like Radio Marti or some other florida/miami US backed organisation has found a new angle to spread its hate propaganda about Cuba

Cute. Basically, the majority of Cubans who fled to Miami and joined hands with the CIA were the pro-Batista officers, officials and supporters. CIA propaganda makes it seem like all of Cuba is in shackles and is unhappy, while Cuba manages to improve in aspects of the United States that the capitalist swine here haven't managed to begin fathoming.

Not to mention that about 50% of those who flee have commited crimes and/or are searched.

Their section on "the Revolution" is interesting. Not because it's particularly truthful. But because they basically just had to copy-paste trotskyist sources (as well as the AWL...) to conjure up a "convincing" denouncement of the revolution.

not precisely troskyist sources; many troskyist organizations, such as the IMT, critically support Cuba. While post-troskyists, such as the SWP in U.S openly defend it as a workers state.

I'm quite skeptical if their radio or that website even reaches people in Cuba...
I did read an article once, I think, that mention how expensive the program is yet doubted its effectiveness (i.e. their radio gets radio jammed quite successfully allegedly plus the website can also be blocked in Cuba).

It's nothing more than a myth that the Cubans don't have access to the internet. Although home computers are not widely available, due to conditions imposed by the US blockade, Cubans have full, unrestricted internet access at government-run computer centres throughout the island. Free courses in information technology are available at these centres. All schools in Cuba are also fitted up with connections to the internet. The myth that Cubans have to pay incredible prices at internet cafes is also untrue; these cafes are orientated towards tourists and are only rarely used by Cubans.
