The White House and its allies, after announcing a war against what they call the “radical left,” indicate that they will proceed with investigations and persecution of opposition organizations and individuals whom they accuse of fomenting political violence and even ‘terrorism’ within the United States, and are apparently preparing a list of these “enemies.” (more…)

Fidel meeting with Malcom X in the Hotel Theresa in Harlem
In September 1960, in the heart of Black America, Harlem’s Hotel Theresa became the stage for one of the world’s most monumental encounters.
When Malcolm X and Fidel Castro met there 65 years ago, Harlem itself was transformed into a crossroads of revolutionary fervor. The rendezvous would leave an indelible mark not only on New York City but on the entire world, becoming a watershed moment that helped shape the conscience of generations of freedom fighters and sped the rhythm for the struggle for liberation in the United States and across the globe.

Historian Eric Hobsbawn described the 20th century as a short one that began in 1914 with the start of World War I and ended in 1991 with the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. He called this period the Age of Extremes. (more…)

El Pais; the Spanish newspaper that without shame supported the 2018 coup attempt in Nicaragua.
The “spied upon” headline from El Pais is unequivocal. The story, in the newspaper’s English-language edition, says that Nicaraguans live in “a climate of permanent surveillance” in which they distrust even their neighbors. Further, apparently harmless community meetings are really “a mechanism of social control” where they “feel watched.” El Pais sources a survey carried out “independently” by an organization called Hagamos Democracia (“Let’s Make Democracy”), based in Costa Rica. Its president, Jesús Tefel, says that people can’t “express opinions openly for fear of being betrayed.” El Pais’s conclusion is that Nicaraguans live under “constant surveillance and repression.” (more…)

We are referring to November 2020, when the United States deployed a warship—the missile cruiser USS San Jacinto—off the coast of Cape Verde: to prevent, according to the New York Times, “the regime” in Venezuela and Iran (and later Russia) from attempting to free Alex Saab, the Venezuelan diplomat who was kidnapped and tortured for trying to break the economic siege on Venezuela by importing food and medicine. This was at the height of COVID-19, a global pandemic. (more…)
