Protests broke out in various countries in Asia on Thursday, October 2, following the Israeli attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) on Wednesday and the abduction of hundreds of activists. The GSF, consisting of over 40 ships with hundreds of activists onboard, was heading towards the besieged Palestinian territory of Gaza in order to break the Israeli siege and deliver crucial humanitarian aid to its people forced to starve by Israel. The ships were attacked by the Israeli forces on the night of October 1, an attack which continued until October 3, when they were scores of miles away from the Gaza coast. Israeli forces abducted the activists and seized the aid the ships were carrying for the people of Gaza.

The 26th Political Council of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) concluded on Wednesday with a powerful final declaration underscoring the alliance’s continued resistance to foreign intervention and reaffirmation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace. The council meeting brought together high-level representatives from ALBA-TCP member states, who jointly expressed concern over escalating threats to peace, sovereignty, and regional stability—particularly those stemming from the imperialist aggression orchestrated by the United States. The member countries of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) reaffirmed on Thursday their commitment to the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace, within the framework of the XXVI Political Council, held in New York on the sidelines of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly.

Latin America And The Caribbean: Sovereign Zone Or Vassal Region?

September 16, 2025 Stephen Sefton, Tortilla con Sal. Educate! Caribbean, Latin America, Sovereignty, US Imperialism, Western imperialism

It is difficult to overstate the insanity of the ruling elites of the collective West. They have shown themselves incapable of recognizing they can no longer continue to dominate as before the governments of the majority world. For the moment, they continue acting to impose regimes that are easier to manipulate in countries susceptible to destabilization such as, in recent years, Bangladesh and now Nepal. However, in order to overthrow governments or political movements steadfast in defending the sovereignty of their countries, Western governments have had to resort to military aggression supported by regional allies and vassals, as they did successfully most recently in Syria.

Washington Projects Its Drug Problem Onto Latin America

A big Cadillac limo with Jersey plates was parked down the block. Few locals in East Harlem even owned cars, let alone new ones. Curious, I asked the street kids what’s up. They casually explained that the mafioso come weekly to collect their drug money. Later I found a playground, which served as a veritable narcotics flea market each night. If a blanquito from the suburbs and some third graders could uncover the illicit trade, I wondered why the officials – who plastered the city with “keep New York drug free” signs – couldn’t do the same. That was in the late 1960s, and I am still wondering why the US – the world’s largest consumer of narcotics, the biggest money launderer of illicit drug money, and the leading weaponry supplier to the cartels – hasn’t resolved these problems.

The Restoration Of The Monroe Doctrine

Since Donald Trump’s reelection as president of the United States, the world has watched in shock as US foreign policy has grown increasingly unilateral and aggressive, raising deep concerns about the future of international politics. These concerns stem not only from the record of his previous term but also from the growing resurgence of interventionist and unilateral policies that have gradually regained prominence in recent years—developments that have accelerated during the early days of Trump’s new administration. Given the campaign promises made under the familiar slogan Make America Great Again (MAGA), such concerns were far from unfounded. And they were only amplified by the administration’s early actions.

Latin America And The Caribbean In The Face Of US Desperation

September 4, 2025 Stephen Sefton, Tortilla con Sal. Educate! Caribbean, Drug Trafficking, Latin America, US Imperialism

The general consensus in Latin America and the Caribbean is that organized crime is the main threat to the region's security. What is usually omitted is the central role of the US government in manipulating the regional structures of organized crime and money laundering. US government propaganda uses the alibi of fighting organized crime and drug trafficking to justify its extensive military presence in the region. Lately, it has served the Trump administration in order to threaten Mexico with possible military incursions and to mobilize warships with amphibious assault capabilities and contingents of marines to intimidate Venezuela. In fact, for decades it has been conclusively demonstrated that US financial institutions launder drug trafficking money on a large scale and that the US authorities encourage organized crime and drug trafficking by means of the CIA and its so-called drug enforcement agency, the DEA.

China To Washington: ‘Latin America And Caribbean Are Not Anyone’s Backyard’

On Monday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said that “Latin America and the Caribbean are not anyone’s backyard,” in response to recent reports in which the commander of the US Southern Command accused China of “infiltrating and plundering resources” from countries in the region. Guo Jiakun urged the United States to “let the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean choose their own course of action.” He added that “the countries of the region have the right to choose their own development paths and partners independently.” The Chinese official dismissed the US accusations as “statements that contradict the facts and repeat outdated phrases,” which “once again expose the deep-rooted Cold War and confrontational mentality of some in the US.”

New Jersey Temps Fight Agency Efforts To Block Their Rights

It’s 5:30 in the morning and the warehouse is already buzzing. Workers are unloading trucks, breaking down pallets, folding boxes, and packing orders to be shipped to local stores. Most of the workers at this New Jersey warehouse are immigrants from Latin America and the Caribbean, and most are temps, hired by one of the 200 temp agency branches that advertise warehouse and light manufacturing jobs in the state. These agencies take a cut of workers’ wages while companies save on recruitment, benefits, and payroll costs. Companies use the temp agencies to shirk their responsibilities, since temps are officially agency rather than company employees. For many immigrants in New Jersey, particularly those without legal status, temp work is one of few employment options, but they face low pay and perilous working conditions.

Leaders Across The Americas Unite Against Growing Global Fascism

On the final day of the Second Pan-American Congress this month, more than 60 delegates from 12 countries made their way into the Secretary of Public Education headquarters in downtown Mexico City. As leaders from the Americas walked through the building’s passages and patios, many stopped to take pictures in front of the walls lined with murals from famous artists, including Diego Rivera. The UNESCO World Heritage Site served as the location of the final plenary of the three-day gathering aimed at uniting progressive and democratic forces in the Western hemisphere to take on rising far right authoritarianism. Delegates representing communities from as far as Nunavut in Canada to the extreme southern tip of South America eventually took their seats in the Ibero-American Hall, a space adorned with a massive, nearly 1,500-square-foot mural, appropriately called “The Union of Latin America” by Roberto Montenegro.

Trump Is Sending Thousands Of Troops To Latin America

August 16, 2025 Samuel Karlin, Left Voice. Educate! Latin America, Trump Administration, US Imperialism, US military

The Department of Defense has ordered the deployment of air and naval forces to the southern Caribbean Sea. On August 15, CNN reported that Trump is deploying 4,000 U.S. sailors and Marines to Latin America, and that various military assets are being allocated to the U.S. Southern Command including a nuclear-powered attack submarine, several destroyers, and a guided missile cruiser. This operation comes after Donald Trump secretly signed an order last week directing the Pentagon to use the armed forces in the supposed “fight against drug cartels” in countries where groups declared “terrorist” exist, such as in Mexico, Haiti, El Salvador, and Venezuela. The operation was confirmed by Secretary of State and National Security Advisor, Marco Rubio.

What Lies Behind Trump’s Attacks Against Venezuela?

As if President Trump intended to meet professional US mercenary Erik Prince half way, US Attorney General Pam Bondi increased the existing US bounty on President Nicolas Maduro — originally set at $15 million — from $25m to $50m for anyone providing “information leading to his arrest or conviction.” In late 2024, Prince, a professional mercenary, alongside Venezuela’s far right, promoted a plan to deploy a private army to Venezuela. He suggested that if the US raised the bounty on Maduro’s head to $100 million, targeting not only the president but also Diosdado Cabello and the entire government, they could “just sit back and wait for the magic to happen.” Prince and Venezuela’s far right even launched a crowdfunding campaign, Ya Casi Venezuela (“Almost There, Venezuela”), to collect the $100 million.

Colombia Labels US Military Ops ‘Aggression’ In Latin America

Through a message posted Sunday, August 10, on social media, Colombian President Gustavo Petro reaffirmed his strong support for Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. This followed recent threats from the Trump administration against the Venezuelan government, which is trying to link Maduro with drug trafficking, and the discovery by Bolivarian authorities of arsenals of weapons belonging to terrorist groups linked to the extreme right. Petro emphatically declared that “Colombia and Venezuela are the same people, the same flag, the same history.” He emphasized that “any military operation that is not approved by our sister countries is an aggression against Latin America and the Caribbean.”

Trump Targets Latino Migrants: Ideology Over Humanity

July 28, 2025 John Perry and Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! Latin America, Mass Deportation, Trump Administration, US Sanctions

The importance of Latinos living and working in the US is enormous: if they were in a separate country, it would be the world’s fifth largest economy, bigger than even India. President Trump is recklessly attacking Latino migrants, inflicting calculated cruelty and disregarding the consequences for their home countries. Disastrously, US immigration policy affects the very victims of Washington’s destabilization campaigns in Latin America and Caribbean, which drive people to leave their homelands in the first place. In effect, by exporting chaos, the hegemon paradoxically ends up importing immigrants.

Trump’s Latin American Policies Go South

July 23, 2025 Roger D. Harris and John Perry, Popular Resistance. Educate! Donald Trump, Hybrid War, Latin America, Noliberalism

With the Trump imperium passing the half-year mark, the posture of the US empire is ever clearer. Whether animated by “America First” or globalism, the objective remains “full spectrum dominance.” And now with the neocon capture of the Democrats, there are no guardrails from the so-called opposition party. Call it the “new cold war,” the “beginning of World War III,” or – in Trump’s words – “endless war,” this is the era that the world has entered. The US/Zionist war against Iran has paused, but no one has any illusions that it is over.

Challenging The Media Myth Of Latino Machismo

July 12, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Becca Renk and John Perry, Popular Resistance. Educate! Gender Parity, Latin America, Machismo, Mexico, Nicaragua, Women

Patriarchy is alive and well throughout the world. But the English-language media flatters itself by one-sidedly portraying machismo as a particularly Latin American malady, all the while overlooking significant feminist gains made in the region. Take, for instance, the entry under “machismo” in the latest edition of Britannica which asserts: “It has for centuries been a strong current in Latin American politics and society.” But the encyclopedia makes no such recognition for its own Anglo society. An article in the AP on sexual bias in Mexico blames “Mexico’s ‘machismo’ culture and strong Catholic roots,” calling out patriarchy as a defining and harmful feature for the whole of Latin American culture.
