‘Hondurasgate’: A Warning For Latin America

May 24, 2026 John Perry and Roger D. Harris, LA Progressive. Educate! Honduras, Latin America, Monroe Doctrine, US Imperialism

Governance in Honduras shifted sharply to the extreme right within months of National Party’s Nasry Asfura taking office on January 27, succeeding the Libre party’s progressive Xiomara Castro. In November 30 elections, the National Party was trailing a poor third before Trump threatened to end all aid to Honduras unless Asfura won. Even then, Asfura had only a wafer-thin plurality, which might well have disappeared had the electoral council not broken its mandate by halting the count before all the votes had been tallied.

Laura Dogu And Washington’s Regime-Change Playbook

February 13, 2026 Roger D. Harris and John Perry, Popular Resistance. Educate! Latin America, Laura Dogu, Monroe Doctrine, US coups

Laura Dogu, newly appointed US envoy to Venezuela, is described by the Los Angeles Times as an appropriate choice because she “navigated crises” in Nicaragua and Honduras during periods of “social and political volatility.” What the LA Times fails to add is that it was precisely Dogu’s job to create crisis and volatility in both countries. In Latin America she is widely regarded, for good reason, as the “US ambassador of interventions and coups.” The LA Times appears entirely relaxed about a US diplomat’s job being to meddle in the internal politics of a country whose president the US has just kidnapped in an operation resulting in the murder over 100 people and involving the bombing of key public buildings and health facilities.

The Struggle Against The Monroe Doctrine Goes On

February 9, 2026 Francisco Dominguez, Morningstar Online. Educate! Cuba, Democracy, International Law, Monroe Doctrine, US Imperialism, Venezuela

Donald Trump's order that the US military attack Venezuela on January 3 2026 led to heavy bombardment of four cities (Caracas, Miranda, La Guaira and Maracay), focusing on military and civilian targets, leading to the violent kidnapping of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, both of whom were taken prisoner and flown to New York City. The US government’s narrative to justify this blatant violation of international law evolved from bogus charges about the Venezuelan government being responsible for “drug-trafficking” and “narco-terrorism,” attempting to obscure the real objective: taking possession of Venezuela’s oil — the world’s largest reserves — by military force.

Venezuelan Journalist Diego Sequera Destroys Trump’s Monroe Doctrine

February 7, 2026 Mnar Adley, MintPress News. Resistance Report Monroe Doctrine, Nicolas Maduro, US Imperialism, Venezuela, Wars and Militarism

It is a monumental act of war. After being kidnapped and flown to the United States, President Nicolás Maduro has pled not guilty to spurious drugs charges in New York – even as U.S. government documents admit that Venezuela is not a major drugs producer, and prosecutors concede that Maduro’s supposed Cartel of the Suns never existed. Moreover, Trump’s star key witness, former Venezuelan Gen. Hugo “El Pollo” Carvajal, is a deeply compromised figure. Once a senior official in military intelligence, Carvajal has long been frozen out of power in Venezuela, and became a vocal supporter of U.S.-backed, self-proclaimed president, Juan Guaidó.

Here’s Every Time The US Has Coup’ed Latin America

January 7, 2026 Lee Camp, Substack. Educate! History, Latin America, Monroe Doctrine, US coups, US Imperialism

I thought this column was only going to take me a minute. The idea was simple: Slap down a list of all the times the US government (and the slime molds who control the US government) perpetrated or facilitated coups, kidnappings, assassinations, and plane landings (really fast into the side of a mountain) in Latin America since about 1950. The slapping down of said list ended up taking me several hours, and the list certainly isn’t exhaustive and doesn’t include a lot of things it probably should but some of those things are debatable. …But it’s a list.

Ecuador Votes To Reject Foreign Military Bases

November 18, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Resistance Report Colombia, Daniel Noboa, Donald Trump, Gustavo Petro, Latin America, Marco Rubio, Monroe Doctrine, US Imperialism, Venezuela

The Donald Trump administration is trying to expand the presence of the US military across Latin America, in an attempt to forcibly impose Washington’s hegemony in the region. The people of Ecuador just delivered a major blow to Trump’s aggressive Latin America strategy. More than three-fifths of Ecuadorians voted to reject a change to their progressive constitution, which would have allowed the Pentagon to establish US military bases in their territory. Ecuador is currently governed by a right-wing president, Daniel Noboa, who is a key regional ally of Trump.

Summit Of The Americas Derailed Due To Tensions Caused By US

November 5, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Monroe Doctrine, Summit of the Americas, Trump Administration, Venezuela

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Dominican Republic announced on Monday that the 10th Summit of the Americas, scheduled for early December, has been postponed due to deep regional differences that are hindering discussions. A new date was not provided. According to a statement, the decision followed a “detailed analysis of the political and social situation in the region” and was “reached in consensus with key partners, including the United States, the forum’s main driving force,” along with the secretary general of the Organization of American States (OAS) and the president of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), who supported the postponement.

The ‘Donroe Doctrine’: Trump’s Neocolonial Plan For Latin America

October 27, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Resistance Report China, Colombia, Donald Trump, Latin America, Marco Rubio, Monroe Doctrine, Pete Hegseth, US Imperialism, Venezuela

The US government has always meddled in Latin America’s internal affairs. This is far from new. The United States overthrew at least 41 governments in Latin America from 1898 to 1994, according to research by Columbia University historian John Coatsworth. In the past three decades, Washington has backed dozens more coups, coup attempts, regime-change operations, and “color revolutions” in the region. The US military has intervened in every single country in Latin America, according to data from the Congressional Research Service. (The only exception is French Guiana, which is a colony of France.) US imperialism has always been bipartisan in Washington, and has continued under both Republican and Democratic presidents.

The Restoration Of The Monroe Doctrine

September 7, 2025 Tiago Nogara, Orinoco Tribune. Strategize! Capitalism, Donald Trump, Globalization, Latin America, Monroe Doctrine, Political economy, US Imperialism

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’s Long Fight Against The US For Sovereignty

May 14, 2025 John Perry, Consortium News. Educate! Anti-Imperialism, Book Review, Cuba, George H.W. Bush, History, Latin America, Monroe Doctrine, Nicaragua, Sandinista Revolution, Sovereignty, US Imperialism, Venezuela

“An American team will win the next soccer World Cup,” a Nicaraguan boy once told me. It took me a second to realize he meant Brazil or Argentina, not the United States. Greg Grandin’s new book shows that “America” (or, in Spanish, América) was the name used for the whole hemisphere by the late 17th century. In the 18th, the great liberator Simón Bolívar set out his vision of “our America”: a New World free of colonies, made up of distinct republics living in mutual respect. He even cautiously welcomed the newly declared Monroe Doctrine as a rejection of European imperialism. Bolívar died without realizing his dream of a Pan-American international order but, Grandin argues, his ideals live on in Latin America today.

Trump Helps BlackRock Buy Panama Canal Ports To Weaken China

March 6, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Resistance Report Belt and Road Initiative, BitCoin, BlackRock, China, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, G7, Marco Rubio, Monroe Doctrine, Panama, Panama Canal, Wall Street

The Donald Trump administration has made it clear that the top two priorities of the US government are to weaken China and to strengthen Wall Street. The small Central American nation of Panama has found itself at the center of Trump’s strategy. In his inauguration speech on January 20, the US president falsely claimed that “China is operating the [Panama] canal”, and he insisted “we’re taking it back”. In a press conference two weeks before, Trump implied that he was willing to use military force to take over the canal if Panama refused to give the United States effective control.

What Is A ‘Multipolar’ World?

February 17, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Resistance Report BRICS, China, Donald Trump, Gaza, Greenland, Latin America, Marco Rubio, Monroe Doctrine, Multipolarity, Panama, US Imperialism

It is now widely acknowledged that the world is multipolar. This is so uncontroversial that the Munich Security Conference chose the title “Multipolarization” for its 2025 annual report. However, there is not a common definition of “multipolarity”. The Munich Security Report noted that, while “the world’s ‘multipolarization’ is a fact”, the “international system shows elements of unipolarity, bipolarity, multipolarity, and nonpolarity”, in which “multiple order models co-exist, compete, or clash”. Governments have radically different understandings of the meaning of multipolarity.

Panama: Self-Determination And National Popular Unity

February 2, 2025 Abdiel Rodríguez Reyes, Orinoco Tribune. Strategize! Donald Trump, Manifest Destiny, Monroe Doctrine, Panama, Panama Canal, Self-Determination, Sovereignty, US Imperialism

The peoples have the right to decide their own collective destiny as established by the Bandung Conference in 1955 and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 1966, which was not gratuitous but a product of the struggle of the peripheral countries for their decolonization. Amid this reality, the United States never gave up extending the Monroe Doctrine to the present day. Making the situation worse, imperial irredentism becomes explicit with President Donald Trump. The Panamanian people’s distrust of the political elite at this juncture is being reproduced in the collective imagination in a marked disinterest in Trump’s imperial irredentism.

Whether Biden Or Trump, US’ Latin American Policy Will Be Contemptible

January 30, 2025 John Perry and Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! Donald Trump, Drug War, economic war, Latin America, Migration, Monroe Doctrine, Tariffs

With Donald Trump as the new US president, pundits are speculating about how US policy towards Latin America might change. In this article, we look at some of the speculation, then address three specific instances of how the US’s policy priorities may be viewed from a progressive, Latin American perspective. This leads us to a wider argument: that the way these issues are dealt with is symptomatic of Washington’s paramount objective of sustaining the US’s hegemonic position. In this overriding preoccupation, its policy towards Latin America is only one element, of course, but always of significance because the US hegemon still treats the region as its “backyard.”

Zone of Peace In Haiti And The Americas

January 24, 2025 Clau O'Brien Moscoso, Black Agenda Report. Resist! Americas, Haiti, Monroe Doctrine, US Imperialism, Webinar, Zone of Peace

Thank you for joining us for this critical webinar exploring the multifaceted tools of imperialism and their impact on the Americas, or rather, Our Americas or Nuestra América. This discussion will unpack how sanctions, soft power mechanisms like the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and USAID, militarization, and global banking systems are weaponized to uphold U.S. power and undermine sovereignty across the region. Panelists will analyze the historical and contemporary roles these tools play in destabilizing governments, fostering dependency, and suppressing popular people’s movements for self-determination, highlighting resistance strategies and pathways to combat imperialism and defend sovereignty while building solidarity among peoples and nations in the Americas.
