SNIPPET: "In March, La Nueva Cuba, an online newspaper, reported that “Russian personnel has been in Cuba for several months working on modernizing SIGINT operations in the old Lourdes surveillance and monitoring facility.”
The Web site said the supposed renovation was:
…part of a project of rearming and modernization of Russian armed forces and the goal of completion by 2011. The new operations could include military sections dedicated to hacking or computer systems espionage with a capacity to neutralize U.S. military networks…
Then last week, an opinion piece appeared in Miami Herald. The headline: Cuba capable of waging a cyberwar.
These reports are just thrown out there little or no evidence to back them up. It reminds me of the biological weapons campaign. Remember those headlines? Cuba capable of waging biological attacks. But I never saw any evidence that Cuba was actually planning or doing any kind of biological strike.
So now it’s going to be a cyberwar. How realistic is that? I mean, the same country that has a toilet paper shortage is suddenly going to wage a cyberwar?

SNIPPET: “Las nuevas operaciones podrían incluir secciones militares que se dedicarían al “hackeo” o espionaje de sistemas computadorizados y la capacidad de “neutralización” las redes internéticas militares estadounidenses en caso de situaciones sensibles y de emergencia de estallar un conflicto militar o de la necesidad política de presionar a un Estados Unidos debilitado y proclive a la presión política.
La crisis económica estadounidense y el relajamiento que se espera tenga lugar en las operaciones de seguridad de Estados Unidos, junto a la esperada reducción del presupuesto militar del Pentágono resultan esperanzadores para los tradicionales enemigos de Washington.
El reciente indicio de la recién estrenada capacidad de presión de China comunista -dada la herramienta potencial que poseen de tener control sobre gran parte de la deuda externa de Washington a China que la garantiza- ha sido blandida dentro del seno de los “halcones de la guerra” rusos como una lección que no debe ser ignorada.
Lourdes se convirtió en manzana de la discordia entre Washington y Moscú cuando el Congreso de EEUU exigió la eliminación de la base como condición para mayores ayudas económicas. Esta capacidad de presión de EE.UU. -gracias a la ayuda brindada a Rusia anteriormente- se encuentra evidentemente ya sin efecto.”

So, summing it up...how far will one go (pardon the pun) to make enough money to pay for toilet paper?
Only time will tell.
What do you expect? The commies are re-emerging to take advantage of Bambi’s weakness.

HAVANA, Aug. 27 (UPI) — A Cuban retiree says the country’s toilet paper shortage has created a lucrative business for seniors — buying and reselling newspapers as an alternative.
The Havana retiree said he and other seniors line up before dawn to buy surplus newspapers from distribution points for factories and offices that have closed for economic reasons and shortages of electricity and raw materials, The Miami Herald reported Thursday.
