Corporate Media Parrot Dubious Claims Used To Justify War On Venezuela

Since August, the US has been amassing military assets in the Caribbean. Warships, bombers and thousands of troops have been joined by the USS Gerald R. Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, in the largest regional deployment in decades. Extrajudicial strikes against small vessels, which UN experts have decried as violations of international law, have killed at least 80 civilians (CNN, 11/14/25). Many foreign policy analysts believe that regime change in Venezuela is the ultimate goal (Al Jazeera, 10/24/25; Left Chapter, 10/21/25), but the Trump administration instead claims it is fighting “narcoterrorism,” accusing Caracas of flooding the US with drugs via the Cartel of the Suns and Tren de Aragua, both designated as foreign terrorist organizations.

The city of Santa Marta, Colombia, became the epicenter of social and political dialogue in the region this weekend with the Third Social Summit of the Peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean that concluded today with grassroots representatives from all over the continent. The event, which brought together more than 1,500 local delegates and featured more than 200 international delegates, opened nine thematic tables dedicated to political dialogue, adhering to the common agenda of the peoples, with a central focus on sovereignty and on condemnation of the interventionist stance of the United States in the region. The summit, which began Saturday, had the fundamental purpose of fostering discussion among civil society to address common challenges affecting nations, with special attention to critical issues such as migration and the need for deeper integration.

Caribbean Leaders Call For Unified Resistance To US Attacks

The tiny Caribbean island nation of Barbados — with a population roughly the size of Anchorage, Alaska, or Lincoln, Nebraska — might not be the country one would first imagine taking the lead to stand up to U.S. military actions and ambitions in the region. But as the Trump administration continues to attack boats, first in the Caribbean Sea and now in the Pacific, leaders in Barbados have been vocal. “As a small state, we have invested tremendous time and energy and effort in establishing and maintaining our region as a zone of peace,” Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley said at a conference in late October.

Grenada – Forward Ever: The Caribbean As A Zone Of Peace

November 6, 2025 Kwabena Dennot Nyack, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Grenada, History, Revolution, the Caribbean, Zone of Peace

I am writing from a small country that once dared to imagine a different world. Grenada’s 1979 Revolution (the Revo’) offered a vision of dignity, solidarity and people’s power that still resonates today. Described by a 2019 Tribune Magazine article as “…a socialist revolution in the tiny Caribbean island of Grenada threatened to upturn the world economic order…”, the Revolution sought to bring about real change for its people and the world. When we said “Forward Ever, Backward Never”, it was not a slogan but a declaration of faith in our own humanity.

Two Trinidadian fishermen were among the six victims of the US military’s fifth airstrike on a boat in the Caribbean. The White House again claims the boat was linked to drug trafficking, but has not provided evidence. Since the October 14 attack, Trump has confirmed three other strikes, raising the death count of what many are calling “extrajudicial killings” of Caribbean people by the US to at least 30, since the aggression began in September. Lenore Burnley, the mother of one of the Trinidadian victims, identified as Chad Joseph, assured local media outlet Guardian News that her son was not involved in drugs.

US Control Of The Caribbean And Its Multiform War Against Venezuela

For centuries, the peoples of the Central American isthmus have had to face the consequences of the ambitions of European and US ruling elites for control of the Caribbean region. Since the 16th century, the great maritime powers, Spain, France, England and to a lesser extent Holland, disputed control of the islands and coasts of the Caribbean so as to exploit their natural resources and control the region’s commercial and military strategic points. For Nicaragua, foreign interference intensified greatly in the middle of the 19th century with the rivalry between European powers and North American elites over control of the routes of a possible interoceanic canal.

No To US State Terrorism In The Caribbean Sea

Organization for the Victory of the People (OVP) rejects the false narrative peddled by the Trump Administration, claiming that President Nicolas Maduro and his administration are connected to drug trafficking into the United States. The world is tired of US imperialism’s playbook, creating false flags and narratives in order to initiate wars and orchestrate regime change. President Ali and the PPP Government, in collusion with the Trump Administration, are leading Guyana in a direction that can only bring us chaos and catastrophe. War with our neighbor can never be in our best interest. The current dispute between Guyana and Venezuela, while framed as a territorial dispute, is related to much larger and more menacing issues.

The Historical And Contemporary Role Of Neocolonial Caribbean Governments In Supporting US Militarism And Imperialism

September 12, 2025 Tamanisha John, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Neocolonialism, the Caribbean, US Imperialism, Venezuela

The Caribbean region is a clearly militarized zone with the United States at the helm. Today’s militarization in the region is reminiscent of the kinds of earlier iterations, also led by the US, from the 1970s to the early 2000s.[1] The US Trump administration reportedly carried out a missile strike in the Caribbean on September 2nd under the pretense of combatting drug trafficking in the region. Based on video released by the US, the military strike utilized a drone and/or aerial bomb to target a boat that allegedly departed from Venezuela – which the US State Department accuses of being a “narco-trafficking organization” and not a state[2] – and purportedly contained non-specified drugs and 11 unidentified human beings (so-called “narco-traffickers.”)

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.”
