To the People of Cuba: Is Washington Preparing a “Soft Coup”? The Co-optation of Cuban Intellectuals
| Michel Chossudovsky Dec 31, 2025 In October 2010, I was invited to the home of Fidel Castro in the outskirts of Havana to discuss US foreign policy, the dangers of nuclear war, the global economic crisis and the unfolding New World Order. These meetings which extended over several days resulted in a wide-ranging and fruitful conversation which was published by Global Research and Cuba Debate. I should mention that Fidel Castro was an avid reader of Global Research. His writings were also featured on our website. While Fidel fully understood the insidious role of NGO’s and philanthropic foundations in supporting Washington’s covert meddling operations inside Cuba, he expressed hope that there would be a turn-around with Obama, for whom he had high regard. When we started our discussions on a Tuesday afternoon, Fidel had already read from cover the cover Bob Woodward’s book entitled Obama’s Wars, which had been released a few days earlier in Washington (expedited to Havana in the diplomatic pouch). |

| Meaningless Accusations of Anti-Semitism: The Moral Conscience of the Western World Has Been Silenced You express your legitimate feelings against such inhumanity Michel Chossudovsky Dec 19, 2025 Former British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn “was undone” by being accused of antisemitism. Ask yourself why anyone should be ruined by such a meaningless accusation. To be an anti-semite all you have to do is to make a criticism, no matter how small or how legitimate, of any Israeli policy. If your moral conscience is assaulted by, for example, Israel’s massacre of Palestinians in the open air concentration camp in which Israel keeps them pinned up, and you express your legitimate feelings against such inhumanity, you are an anti-semite. By definition, anyone with a moral conscience is an anti-semite. This is something of which to be proud, so why does it ruin you? Why did the US Congress censor the one member who spoke against, instead of in favor of, the massacre? Why have the governments of France, Germany, and the UK banned as anti-semitic demonstrations against Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians and theft of their country? Why did US law firms and corporations collect the names of university students who protested against the slaughter and blacklist them from employment simply because they have a moral conscience? Now ask yourself, how did Zionists achieve such power over the entirely of the Western world as to place Israel and Jews off limits for criticism no matter their behavior? Of all the peoples of Earth, Israelis alone can do whatever they please and no one is allowed to say one word against it. Why does every Western government submit to such humiliation? Why do they consent to having their voice and their moral conscience silenced? Why does the Western world cower in fear of being called anti-semite? The Biden regime is so terrified of Israel that it will even sacrifice America’s reputation for Israel: see this. The State Dept memo bluntly asserts that the United States is supporting Israeli “war crimes”. Will 100 with a conscience be declared anti-semites and forced to resign? *** Paul Craig Roberts is a renowned author and academic, chairman of The Institute for Political Economy where this article was originally published.
