Nicaragua’s Authentic Democracy Defends the Will of the People

By Stephen Sefton on July 26th 2026

Celebration of the 47th anniversary of the triumph of the Sandinista Popular Revolution in Managua. (July 19th 2026)

Western leaders and media denounce foreign influence in their own corrupt elections but constantly meddle to vitiate elections in other countries. The latest false propaganda assault on Nicaragua’s Sandinista government uses dishonest reporting of remarks by Co-president Daniel Ortega announcing reforms to protect Nicaragua’s elections from US and allied country interference.  This latest episode in the West’s psychological warfare against Nicaragua should be seen as part of the wider global conflict now threatening all countries of the majority world.  (more…)

The recent meeting convened by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to coordinate international action against what has been labeled “left-wing extremism” has reignited a long-standing debate in Latin America over the limits of security policies and the construction of the so-called “internal enemy.” According to analysts and social organizations, the initiative reflects the continuation of a logic that, although adapted to the technological and political realities of the 21st century, bears similarities to doctrines implemented during the Cold War.

Cuba: Strong Rejection of the State Department’s New Smear Campaign

July 22, 2026

Cuba rejects, in the strongest terms, the report published on July 20 by the U.S. State Department, referring to Cuba’s alleged subversive influence against that country. This is nothing more than a mediocre propaganda pamphlet. It seeks to reinforce the false narrative that Cuba poses a threat to the United States—a pretext that the U.S. government uses to justify collective punishment and genocide against the Cuban people. By fabricating accusatory narratives, it aims to build consensus for a potential military aggression. (more…)

Sen. Joseph McCarthy and his map of alleged Communist Party organization, Army-McCarthy hearings, June 9, 1954. Seventy-two years on, the State Department calls the purges of his era a model worth repeating.

Two other anti-imperialist groups, BreakThrough News and Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, were served the same day.

What Bothers Marco Rubio

By Randy Alonso Falcon on July 21, 2026

Marco Rubio, archives

Facing criticism from all sides for his speech at the “anti-terrorism” summit concocted in Washington last week—a speech riddled with ambiguities and lacking in evidence—Marco Rubio and his State Department came out on Monday with an even worse piece of drivel in an attempt to show why Cuba is the “capital of communism” that threatens the United States.
