EXPOSED: Cuba-Linked Activists Plot Coordinated Strikes on California Military Bases and Federal Facilities

A stunning State Department intelligence report reveals that over 50 socialist and communist organizations—including groups with direct ties to elected California officials—have developed a coordinated rapid-response plan to target military installations, ICE facilities, and federal buildings across the Golden State within 24 hours of any U.S. action against Cuba.

This isn’t some fringe conspiracy theory. This is documented reality.

The 99-page report published this week exposes what federal officials describe as a “decades-long Cuban influence network” operating openly within American borders. And California, with its sprawling network of Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, and Army installations, sits squarely in the crosshairs.

The Blueprint for Disruption

The National Network on Cuba—a coalition bringing together the Democratic Socialists of America, Communist Party USA, and CODEPINK—has created what amounts to a tactical manual for nationwide mobilization. Their stated goal? Make it “politically and materially costly for the U.S. government to wage war on Cuba.”

Their targets are alarmingly specific: military bases, recruitment offices, federal buildings and courthouses, ICE detention centers and field offices. The plan even contemplates actions at “sports arenas during high-visibility events.”

Let that sink in. These groups aren’t just organizing protests. They’re mapping strategic targets and building rapid-response infrastructure designed to activate nationwide within a single day.

California’s Vulnerability

California’s strategic importance to national defense makes the state a prime focus of this mobilization strategy. Major installations stretch from San Diego County through Southern California, up the Central Coast, and into Northern California—each one a potential flashpoint under this coordinated plan.

A “Map of U.S. Militarization in Our Americas” created by Black Alliance for Peace—which the State Department identifies as a frequent Havana “collaborator”—catalogs 1,335 military and law enforcement sites across the Western Hemisphere. Federal officials don’t mince words: they call it a “target guide.”

Black Alliance for Peace openly urges activists to use the map to identify facilities in their communities and “strategize how and where to organize and agitate.” This isn’t theoretical planning. This is operational preparation.

The Los Angeles Connection

Here’s where it gets uncomfortable for California Democrats.

The State Department report specifically highlights Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and former Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, both of whom have maintained decades-long relationships with communist Cuba. Bass traveled to Cuba in 1973 with the Venceremos Brigade—a group that took Americans to the communist island for what they called “work, education, and political exchanges.”

She didn’t just visit once. Bass later helped organize Venceremos Brigade activities in Southern California and returned to Cuba multiple times, including as a member of Congress with President Barack Obama in 2016.

When Fidel Castro died that same year, Bass sparked outrage by honoring him with the title “Comandante en Jefe” and calling his death “a great loss to the people of Cuba.” Not a tyrant’s demise. Not the end of an oppressive regime. A “great loss.”

Meanwhile, the Democratic Socialists of America—a key member of the National Network on Cuba—has become increasingly influential in California politics, particularly in Los Angeles, where the local DSA chapter has backed multiple elected officials at City Hall.

The Cuban Intelligence Pipeline

The influence network extends far beyond protest organizations. The Cuban Institute of Friendship with Peoples (ICAP)—founded during Fidel Castro’s rule—has cultivated deep relationships with American universities, student organizations, and activist movements.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio sanctioned ICAP in June, explicitly identifying it as an arm of the Cuban government supporting intelligence and counterintelligence activities. CODEPINK and other U.S. groups within the National Network on Cuba have sent delegations to the island in recent years, maintaining these connections even as Cuba has grown closer to Russia, China, and Iran.

The Treasury Department and Department of Justice are already targeting funding streams for some organizations, including Code Pink. The group’s centimillionaire backer Neville Roy Singham is under investigation by the Southern District of New York for potential financial crimes.

A Growing Threat

State Department officials aren’t downplaying the danger. A senior official confirmed that domestic law enforcement and counterterrorism agencies “are looking carefully” at what they describe as a “very serious and distinct threat.” The official noted pointedly that some organizations in this network “have been involved in violent action in the past.”

Cuba’s deepening relationships with hostile adversaries have amplified the threat level. As the island nation has become more ideologically isolated from democratic nations, it has opened its doors wider to Russia, China, and Iran—giving these adversaries more economic control, more spying opportunities, and more operational space just 90 miles from Florida.

“They’ve continued to actually give Russia, China and Iran more influence, to control more of their economy, to do more spying from their territory, to put more foreign intelligence agents and foreign terrorists on their soil just 90 miles from the United States,” a State Department official stated bluntly. “So it is a growing and significant threat.”

The Stakes for California

This report arrives at a moment of heightened tension between Washington and Havana, with President Trump publicly discussing the possibility of military action against Cuba. Whether that scenario materializes or not, the existence of this mobilization plan represents a clear and present danger to California’s military readiness and national security infrastructure.

The question California voters must ask isn’t whether these organizations have the right to protest U.S. policy—they do. The question is whether state and local officials with documented ties to Cuban influence networks can be trusted to prioritize American security interests when crisis erupts.

The Democratic establishment in California has spent years dismissing concerns about socialist infiltration of progressive politics as right-wing fear-mongering. This State Department report proves those concerns were entirely justified.

California’s military installations, federal facilities, and law enforcement sites aren’t just strategic assets. They’re active targets of foreign-influenced organizations operating with sophisticated coordination and clear tactical planning. And some of the state’s most prominent Democratic officials have spent decades building relationships with the very regime orchestrating this influence network.

That’s not speculation. That’s documented fact. And it demands accountability from voters and officials alike.

The security of California’s defense infrastructure—and by extension, national security—cannot be entrusted to politicians who honor communist dictators and maintain active ties to organizations coordinating with hostile foreign governments. The stakes are simply too high, and the threat, as federal officials now acknowledge, is too real.
