Fujimorismo 2.0: The Age Of Keiko Fujimori

July 5, 2026 Clau O'Brien Moscoso, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
Keiko Fujimori finally won the presidency after four previous failed attempts. Her victory comes after a hotly debated campaign run with the help of US Ambassador to Peru Bernardo "Bernie" Navarro acting as her unofficial campaign manager. Keiko Fujimori is the daughter of the former genocidaire and dictator Alberto Fujimori and former First Lady, who publicly denounced her husband's corruption.   Keiko Sofía Fujimori Higuchi was formally declared the next President of Peru in a close contest decided by fewer than 50,000 votes by the ONPE, or Oficina Nacional de Procesos Electorales, the electoral body that oversees elections.

The Weight On Delcy Rodriguez

April 2, 2026 Craig Murray. , , , ,
Almost everything you are told in the West about Venezuela is untrue, and the biggest lie is that Machado, Guaidó and the groupings around them are in any sense democrats or liberal. They are not, and have direct family and political links to the murderous CIA-sponsored regimes of the pre-Chávez years. They also have many scores to settle – Machado’s family, to give just one example, dominated the electricity supply before it was nationalised. A very large number of the “political prisoners” the West is so concerned about, were involved in efforts at military coup or violent insurrection, of which Guaidó’s comic opera attempt in 2019 was only the most publicised.

From Mogadishu To Minneapolis

March 8, 2026 Elizabeth Schmidt, Africa is a Country. , , ,
The Trump administration’s crackdown on Somali refugees, immigrants, and US citizens of Somali descent in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the home of some 80,000 people of Somali heritage, has been headline news in recent weeks—especially since the Immigration and Customs Enforcement killing of two American citizens—both white—who witnessed ICE brutality. The presence of so many Somalis in Minneapolis and the special antipathy the Trump administration has for them has roots that go far deeper than the president’s hostility toward Minneapolis Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, one of his most forceful and outspoken critics.

NED Leader Cut Off In Congress, Boasts Of ‘Deploying’ Starlinks To Iran

February 25, 2026 Max Blumenthal and Wyatt Reed, The Grayzone. , , , ,
Damon Wilson, the head of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), was interrupted by a member of Congress during a House oversight hearing on February 24 after revealing that his agency “began supporting the deployment [and] operation of about 200 Starlinks early on” amid the violence which swept through Iran last month. Before he could finish the sentence, he was cut off by the ranking member of the House Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs, Rep. Lois Frankel, who told Wilson: “You know what, I’m going to interrupt you – we’d better not talk about it.”

The Night The Protests In Iran Were Co-Opted By Outside Forces

February 21, 2026 Nargol Aran, Mondoweiss. , , ,
In early January 2026 I’m in southwest Iran to see my grandparents for Sizdah Rajab, the birthday of Imam Ali — our Father’s Day. There have been countrywide protests over the economy for the past two weeks. I’m worried that they might turn deadly — an infiltration is likelier now after the June onslaught than it has ever been. A former American official wished “a happy new year” to the “Mossad agents” walking next to Iranian protestors.  But there’s enough calm to keep us bound to our community: aunts, uncles, and cousins, those of us who have left for life in Tehran, are all home.

US Smuggled Thousands Of Starlink Terminals Into Iran To Fuel Riots

February 14, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Washington covertly sent 6,000 Starlink terminals to Iran to help protesters and rioters communicate during internet shutdowns, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on 13 February, citing US officials. The US State Department had purchased about 7,000 of the satellite terminals for use in Iran in the months preceding the protests that erupted in January after the Iranian currency collapsed. US Treasury officials manufactured the collapse of the rial by choking off the supply of US dollars into the Iranian economy. Mossad-backed rioters and armed gangs carried out a wave of attacks against protesters, security forces, government buildings, and mosques in an effort to sow chaos.

Khamenei Slams ‘Arrogant’ Trump, Vows Iran ‘Will Not Back Down’

January 10, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei vowed in a speech on 9 January that Tehran “will not back down” in the face of US pressure and threats, while strongly condemning foreign-backed rioters causing unrest in the country. “Everyone should know that the Islamic Republic came to power with the blood of hundreds of thousands of honorable people and will not back down in the face of saboteurs,” the supreme leader said. “Our nation does not tolerate mercenaryism (working) for foreign powers. Whoever you are, when you become a mercenary for a foreigner, when you work for a foreigner, that country considers you rejected,” he added, stressing that Iran will “not tolerate agents supported by foreign powers.”

Venezuela Charges Washington With ‘Theft, Piracy’

December 11, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Venezuela has accused the US government of “blatant theft” and “piracy,” following Washington’s seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker off the Latin American country’s coast on 10 December. The Venezuelan Foreign Ministry strongly condemned what it said was a “blatant theft and an act of international piracy, publicly announced by the President of the US, who confessed to the assault on an oil tanker in the Caribbean Sea.” “Already in his 2024 campaign, [US President Donald Trump] openly stated that his objective has always been to keep Venezuelan oil without paying any consideration in return, making it clear that the policy of aggression against our country responds to a deliberate plan to plunder our energy wealth,” the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry added.

Honduras: Plot By The US-Backed Far Right Causes Political Crisis

December 4, 2025 Alejandra Garcia, Resumen English. , , ,
More than 6 million Hondurans went to the polls this past Sunday to elect the country’s next president in a process marked by irregularities, foreign interference, and coup attempts by the far right. Pre-election polls showed a wide lead for the candidate of the ruling Libre party, Rixi Moncada. However, today Honduras marks three days without knowing its president-elect, amid technical failures and an extremely tight count that keeps conservative candidates Nasry Asfura and Salvador Nasralla in a technical tie, in what Moncada describe as an electoral plot.

Interfering In The Interference: Trump, WOLA And Honduran Elections

November 30, 2025 Adrienne Pine, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
Trump’s surprise promise to pardon convicted drug trafficker and former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández on the eve of today’s Honduran presidential election, in combination with his directive to Hondurans earlier in the week that they vote for Hernández-allied candidate Nasry Asfura Zablah have interfered with the carefully planned interference already underway in Washington. While Trump prefers the brutish approach that succeeded in keeping his friend Milei in control in the recent Argentinian election, other Washington actors have long maintained a different approach to regime change of coordinated messaging between politicians and organizations across the political spectrum to give the appearance of an unbiased shared concern based in human rights and democracy.

All Elements In Place For A US Decapitation Strike On Venezuela

September 5, 2025 Roger D. Harris and Joe Emersberger, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
President Donald Trump euphorically concluded his White House press conference on September 2 with breaking news: the US military had just blown up a small motor vessel in the middle of the Caribbean Sea. He alleged that the skiff came from Venezuela and was loaded with illicit drugs headed to the US. On social media, he further embellished his story by saying that the crew were members of the Tren de Aragua cartel, which Trump claims is controlled by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Trump alleges that this cartel is “responsible for mass murder, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and acts of violence across the US.” There was no attempt to stop and search the boat in international waters, before murdering the crew.

‘Barrack Is An Animal’: Protesters Force US Envoy To Leave South Lebanon

August 27, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
US Envoy Tom Barrack and the US delegation visiting Lebanon canceled a planned trip for a tour in southern Lebanese villages due to protests by supporters of the resistance on 27 August, a day after the envoy insulted journalists at the country’s presidential palace. Several Lebanese media outlets report that Barrack canceled the visit to the south, coinciding with the outbreak of protests in the cities of Tyre (Sur) and Khiam. According to Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA), the US envoy arrived in Marjayoun in a Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) helicopter but turned back as calls for protest began. As a result, Lebanese troops deployed across the area.

Mass Mobilizations Needed To Protect Bolivian And Venezuelan Revolutions

August 25, 2025 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , , ,
On August 17, in the Bolivian presidential elections, the leftwing candidates lost for the first time in twenty years. Some are calling this a continuation of the US-backed coup there. Just days before the election, the Trump administration announced that it was sending naval destroyers and 4,000 troops to Latin America that could be used in 'targeted strikes' against Venezuela. Clearing the FOG speaks with William Camacaro, a senior analyst for the Council on Hemospheric Affairs and a co-founder of the Venezuela Solidarity Network, about divisions within the left in Bolivia that led to their current demise and how Venezuela is mobilizing millions of civilians to defend their sovereignty against US aggression.

Iraqi MPs Reject US Meddling In Law To Institutionalize Anti-ISIS Resistance

August 6, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Iraqi lawmakers have fired back at Washington’s interference in a government bill to further institutionalize the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) into the state.  Mahdi al-Ameri, an Iraqi MP with ties to the PMU, told Rudaw on 5 August that they “will not submit to any external pressures regarding Iraq and Iraq's sovereignty,” adding that the law will serve all Iraqis.  “When we say Popular Mobilization Forces, we have Sunni, Shia, Christian, and Shabak PMUs. Even our Kurdish brothers are present in this institution. This is a security institution linked to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces,” he added.  The lawmaker stressed that there is a determination to pass the law despite US intervention.

A new wave of tensions has emerged between Bogotá and Washington. Both Petro and Trump have announced that they are withdrawing their respective chargé d’affaires in each other’s countries in the aftermath of reports of a possible coup plot against Gustavo Petro. According to a report published by the Spanish newspaper, El País on June 29, Álvaro Leyva, the former minister of foreign affairs in Petro’s government, met with the Republican congressman of the United States, Mario Díaz-Balart, to discuss an early exit of Petro’s progressive government. Petro and his supporters were quick to respond, denouncing the plot and calling for clarification of the events. Charges have also been filed against Leyva.
