The President of Chile Endorses the Awarding of Machado for the Nobel Peace Prize

By Nicolas Romero Reeves on October 13, 2024

Chile’s Boric a supporter of Machado and Zelensky

The recent support of Gabriel Boric’s government—through its foreign minister and figures from his coalition such as Jeannette Jara—for the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to María Corina Machado is not only incomprehensible: it is an affront to common sense and Latin American sovereignty. (more…)

The mood in the Caribbean grows increasingly tense, as the United States intensifies its military threats. Beneath the deceptive shroud of the “war on drugs,” the United States is actively executing a blueprint for military intervention in Venezuela, employing lethal force and projecting power in a manner that legal institutions and regional leaders have condemned as a profound threat to international order. This aggression is not a law enforcement operation; it is the negation of law, a neocolonial revival of the Monroe Doctrine, designed to shatter the sovereignty of Venezuela, seize control of the world’s largest oil reserves, and install a compliant regime.

Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution has been in the vanguard of the Global South. In contrast, President Javiar Milei’s government in Argentina represents the logical, though absurd, consequence of extreme neoliberalism, which he calls “anarcho-capitalism.” (more…)

A Revolutionary in Politics and Photography

By David Bacon on October 1, 2025

Tina Modotti [publicity still as “Rosa Carilla” in “Riding with Death”, 1921, photographer unknown]

Jeannette Ferrary, a fine photographer whose work has a rare and brilliant sense of humor, drew my attention to the obituary for Tina Modotti in the New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/obituaries/tina-modotti-overlooked.html).  I’m glad that the NYT series of obits on women who were ignored when they died chose to do one for Modotti.  The author, Grace Linden, deserves credit for getting acknowledgement in the Times for this radical hero, 83 years after her death.  Linden gives a good account of the work she did as a photographer in Mexico in the 1920s, where she is regarded as a founder of Mexican socially radical photojournalism and documentary work.

Fidel, the Art of Words: “Enough Words! We Need Action!”

October 12, 2025 from Havana

Fidel speaking at the UN for the second time, October 12, 1979

On October 12, 1979, in the “20th Year of Victory” for the Cuban people, Fidel returned to the same United Nations chamber where two decades earlier he had delivered his legendary four-hour speech, the longest in the history of this international organization. On this occasion, he addressed the audience as president of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) to present the results of its Sixth Summit, which had just been held in Havana. Would the Cuban leader be able to deliver a speech as significant as the first time? (more…)

The US:  Deciphering Trump’s “Indecision” on Venezuela

By William Serafino October 13, 2025

Resumen is running this article to give a different angle of the possible direction that the imperial intentions of the Trump Administration might go in its aggression against Venezuela. While tensions remain high and no matter what comes next it must be remembered that the end goal for the empire is to end the Bolivarian Revolution of Chavez that has continued under the leadership of Maduro. – editor (more…)

In February 1947, Eleanor Roosevelt, writer and activist, and wife of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-1945); Peng Chun Chang, Chinese scholar, philosopher, human rights activist, and diplomat; and Charles Habib Malik, Lebanese scholar, diplomat, and philosopher, began drafting what would become known a year later as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It was adopted by the countries that were part of the nascent United Nations (UN). It was a response to the “acts of barbarism outrageous to the conscience of mankind” committed during World War II. The declaration was signed at the Chaillot Palace in Paris. (more…)

STOP US AGGRESSION AGAINST VENEZUELA!

October 12, 2025

The Nicaragua Solidarity Coalition demands an end to US aggression against Venezuela, which is on the brink of outright war. Any escalation in the violence against Venezuela will cause more suffering and deaths in the South American country, destabilize the region, and endanger all countries seeking a path independent from US domination, especially Cuba and Nicaragua.
