"It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself."
– Thomas Jefferson

Washington has used everything in its arsenal to bring down the Cuban Revolution – embargo, assassinations, invasions, bacteriological and chemical weapons, and even the threat of world nuclear conflagration.

But its most powerful weapons are lies – Big Lies repeatedly endlessly by government officials and the massive U.S. media machine, lies spread since the earliest days of the revolution. Washington wants us to believe that Cuba is a "Stalinist police state" that threatens the world with communist subversion, spying, biological weapons, and cyber-terrorism.

Though the most of the world laughs at these charges –and votes nearly unanimously in the UN to condemn Washington’s embargo against Cuba– refutations of the lies get little circulation in the U.S. We hope you will find the topics below useful.
