Abby Martin: Cuba, AI & the Tech Bro Takeover of the US War Machine

The U.S. military's escalating campaign against Cuba is not about oil or security, but a Cold War grudge against a nation that has defied American imperialism for 70 years, according to independent journalist Abby Martin. In her new film *Cuba After Castro*, Martin presents a rare, unfiltered interview with President Miguel Díaz-Canel—revealing a leader who walks among the people, faces criticism openly, and embodies a radically different model of democracy than the one sold by Western media. This reality starkly contrasts with the U.S. narrative of Cuba as a repressive dictatorship. Martin argues that the real threat isn’t just military aggression, but the fusion of AI, surveillance, and war-making under Trump 2.0, where tech billionaires and Zionist elites are now openly embracing fascist ideology. These 'AI tech bros' are not just building data centers—they’re constructing a global panopticon that fuels environmental destruction, erodes democracy, and enables AI-driven genocide, as seen in Gaza. The film *Earth's Greatest Enemy* exposes the U.S. military as the world’s largest polluter, a role now amplified by AI’s insatiable demand for energy and water. Yet Martin finds hope in the global surge of resistance—not just in Cuba and Iran, but in American communities pushing back against data centers, and in the growing awareness that the real enemy is not foreign nations, but the U.S.-Israeli imperial machine that profits from perpetual war and ecological collapse.
