By Raúl Antonio Capote on February 2, 2026

Washington’s strategy to recolonize America

The question seems easy to answer, and it is. However, the power of the mainstream media and the US propaganda machine does its job non stop: twisting the arm of truth until it achieves the paradox of turning victims into culprits. (more…)

There is something that U.S. leaders have historically failed to understand about Cubans, and that is that since the 19th century, our people have been fighting relentlessly to first obtain and then defend its freedom, sovereignty, and independence. (more…)

Blue-eyed mother, mother of America:

my children are peaceful, they work, they sing, they dream,

they love under the green shade of their palm trees.

Robert, your young blond boy,

how happy he would be playing baseball with my cheerful Juan with his black hair!

However, the shady merchants who govern your people

want Robert to kill Juan under his own sky, on his own land. (more…)

José Julián Martí Pérez (Jan. 28, 1853 – May 19, 1895) is often sanitized in bourgeois histories as a gentle poet or a generic patriot. To understand Martí, however, is to recognize him as a revolutionary internationalist whose life’s work was the forging of a unified, anti-racist, and sovereign Cuban nation. His legacy is not a museum piece but a living tradition rooted in anti-colonial struggle across the Americas. (more…)

This week, Honduras inaugurated a new president, Nasry Asfura, a construction magnate backed by seemingly strange bedfellows: members of the notorious MS-13 gang and President Trump. Mr. Trump had urged Hondurans to vote for Mr. Asfura days before MS-13 gang members posing as election observers threatened to kill anyone who didn’t vote for that candidate. Amid weeks of election uncertainty and protests, Mr. Trump warned Hondurans of “hell to pay” if they chose a different outcome. Mr. Asfura’s victory marks the success of Mr. Trump’s campaign to resuscitate a political party tainted by its widely known ties to cartels. (more…)

When a government turns a tool into an automatic response to any problem, it stops using an instrument and starts practicing a reflex. That is exactly what is happening with the United States’ sanctions policy, and the Cuban case once again demonstrates this starkly. (more…)

The Venezuelan capital still bears the scars of the January 3rd bombing, when a U.S. military attack left more than a hundred people dead, including 32 Cubans. Yet the people have covered the wounds, and nearly a month after such upheaval, the city is beginning to recover its rhythm and vitality. Amid the whirl of Caracas’s historic center—between the bustle of daily life and the constant coming and going along the narrow streets near Plaza Bolivar, one familiar name resonates: José Martí.
