Analysis
President Gustavo Petro has offered Colombia a tantalizing vision of “Total Peace:” a negotiated end to all the armed conflicts that have plagued the country for generations. At the top of his list is the National Liberation Army (Ejército de Liberación Nacional – ELN). The prospect of a demobilized former guerrilla — Petro was once a member of the M19 rebel group — who has risen to the presidency through victory at the ballot box convincing Colombia’s last major insurgency to lay down their arms and pursue its political aims peacefully is enticing. And it is a vision the ELN leaders have publicly bought into.…Read more >>

Evo Morales and Álvaro García Linera had planned to perpetuate themselves in power in the style of the Castros of Cuba and Hugo Chávez of Venezuela. The Electoral Body was commissioned to carry out the electoral mega-fraud in the elections of October 20, 2019 in order to achieve that political objective. The consummation of the criminal act was also carried out in the presence of almost 100 international observers from the Organization of American States (OAS) and the European Union.…Read more >>

Evo Morales paid 1.5 million dollars to dictator Fidel Castro for accommodation and food for students on the island. Another sign that behind the supposed social causes of the left only economic benefit is hidden. When a country is internationally isolated as a result of sanctions or economic restrictions caused by the authoritarian behavior of its regime, what happens is that in order to survive, alternative financing channels are created. Of course, these channels are born under characteristics of opacity and confidentiality. That is what the Cuban regime has done since the so-called revolution was established in 1959. However, it was not until the heyday of Chavismo in Venezuela that the Castro dictatorship obtained a means of financing tinged with a “social program”: the medical missions. Currently, Mexico is among the countries that have received these groups under dubious conditions.…Read more >>

What did Xi not see in those two weeks in Iowa? He did not see the loose structure that had made the United States the first power on the planet. And he didn’t see it because it is invisible. He did not see it because there are no political parties. Above all, Xi is a Communist Party man. His father, Xi Zhinxun, was a Vice Prime Minister in charge of the State Council, which did not free him whatsoever from Mao ‘s reprisals, including torture.…Read more >>

On October 17, 2003, Bolivia lost the first – which would ultimately be the last – democratic government of the new millennium. A country that in the 1980s had recovered democracy and controlled hyperinflation, now became a colony of 21st-century Socialism. Castrochavism kidnapped our homeland. That day began the route of national darkness. But the overthrow of President Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada was only the consecration of a plan that had begun a decade ago. Conspiracy that, in addition, had the support of North American NGOs, FARC guerrillas, Argentine advisers, Cuban intelligence, drug cartels and traitors to Bolivia, Carlos Mesa is the main one. Let’s look at a sequence of events.…Read more >>

The massacres and the persecution of the dictator Daniel Ortega against the population leave no doubt that he seeks to put an end to any vestige of opposition. But his authoritarian actions are reaching his allies: high-ranking officials of the regime who have committed abuses against citizens in the name of Ortega and the so-called “Sandinista revolution.” Ortega’s whip has recently been directed at officials of the Supreme Court of Justice (CSJ), a state power that operates like the mafias, and that the dictator has turned into a tool of repression against the opposition, as well as an instrument to influence peddling, bribery and blackmail, since he returned to power in January 2007.…Read more >>
