Unwanted Truth 1: Black Lives Matter Was a Cuban Intelligence Operation

Five years after Black Lives Matter upended American politics and radicalized the Left, do we know what it really was?

Today, Top Secret Umbra launches a new series: Unwanted Truths. This series will expose difficult or challenging realities, often from the secret world of intelligence, about what stands behind official stories. These truths are unwanted because they contradict accepted ideas and norms. TSU will go where the media refuses to, and most people don’t even know where to look.

Fittingly, this series begins during Holy Week as Easter approaches, on Holy Wednesday, which is sometimes termed Spy Wednesday. It gets that handle because it remembers the day that Judas Iscariot, the turncoat apostle, took his 30 pieces of silver to betray Jesus to the authorities. Judas is a bad example of the espionage business, but Spy Wednesday is a fitting day to commence this series.

So, without further delay…

Five years ago, as America suffered lockdowns under the COVID-19 pandemic, the country was about to explode in a sensational racial moment after the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police on May 25, 2020. Immediately, protests spread across the United States attesting Black Lives Matter. These involved marches, rallies, even riots. Public gatherings of any kind had been strictly banned due to the pandemic, but suddenly they were deemed mandatory, indeed morally imperative by liberal experts and authorities. Five years have passed and it’s already easy to forget what a strange moment the summer of BLM was.
