A Latino Alt-Right? This Is How Vox Advances In Latin America

In Mexico, he has already had the support of several congressmen. The Spanish party received the support of 15 senators and three congressmen from the traditional National Action Party (PAN) and the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).

But Mexico is not the only Latin American country where the right has already established ties with the Abascal movement. In Colombia, several politicians of the right-wing within Uribismo, see in Vox a model of a party more suitable to their ideology. Characters such as María Fernanda Cabal, a presidential candidate, are close to Trumpism and the Spanish right. She shares the idea of creating a common front against international progressivism and sees in Vox an ideal ally.

…

Likewise, they have also tried to open relations in Peru with the Popular Force party of the controversial Keiko Fujimori. The Vox delegation was attended by its vice president and deputy, Víctor González, MEP Hermann Tertsch and the director of the Disenso Foundation, Jorge Martín Frías.

Peter Thiel Embodies Silicon Valley’s Conservative Past and Dystopian Future

In August 2020, Thiel told Die Weltwoche that COVID-19 had created an opening. “Changes that should have taken place long ago did not come because there was resistance. Now the future is set free.” But the future desired by Thiel is one that involves less democracy, more restrictive immigration measures, and a tech industry even more aligned with the interests of the US government. Tech’s libertarian age is waning, but its future could be even worse.

TULSI GABBARD SIMPS WILL BURN IN HELL + War on Terror Moves to Africa

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Sebs Solomon — September 23, 2021

Just kidding, I don’t actually mean that—well, the war on terror is pivoting toward Africa, but no one deserves to burn in hell (I am being hyperbolic); however, now that I have your attention, let me explain why it is utterly foolish to continue “simping” for Tulsi Gabbard’s puka shells. Please excuse my lack of tact and do not be offended by my impatience-flavored directness — for I am tired of having to repeat myself on this issue (I know, not an excuse). I will try to write this piece as diplomatically as possible. Not that my opinion is the “most correct” or that this particular topic is “the most important thing to talk about” right now. The reason I’m even writing about this is because I’m also trying to understand why I, myself, am so triggered by the abysmal and sycophantic behavior I have witnessed from the supporters of the former Hawaii congresswoman, Tulsi Gabbard. Especially, since her recent comments regarding her time at an undisclosed location in Africa, as an officer of the Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command — assisting Special Ops fight “islamist jihadist terrorists” associated with Al-Queda.

Heads Roll As Biden Policies Move To The Right

To save its falling ratings the Biden administration is not only moving to a more hawkish position on immigration and foreign policies. It is also removing officials who are not hawkish enough.

U.S. Vaccine Mandate for Incoming Immigrants Takes Effect October 1

Waivers will also be considered for people with religious or moral objections to receiving the vaccine. Decisions about such applicants will be made on an individual basis by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). But immigration applicants who simply refuse the vaccine without reason will be deemed inadmissible

So, immigrants have more rights than US Citizens?!

Why Isn’t U.S. Policy Toward Nicaragua Working?

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

After the U.S.-Russian summit in June, there was no apparent irony in President Biden’s response to a question about electoral interference. “Let’s get this straight,” he said. “How would it be if the United States were viewed by the rest of the world as interfering with the elections directly of other countries, and everybody knew it?” But of course much of the world does take this view; by one count the United States has intervened in no fewer than 81 elections between 1946 and 2000, many of them in Latin America. Biden’s question reveals a fundamental gap in U.S. foreign policymaking: Why do its leaders appear unable to judge how U.S. actions are seen by ordinary people in the countries they affect?

US Influence and Neoliberalism are the Main Causes of Migration From Central America (Opens in YouTube)

In this episode of The Source, we interview Alejandra Mejía, who is Chief Editor of Migrant Roots Media. We talk about the ‘Policy Report: An Analysis of the Biden-Harris Administration Plan for Central America’ by Migrant Roots Media. We examine in what way the $4 billion strategy for Central America of the Biden administration “bolsters a neoliberal development plan”. We also discuss whether this approach is different from the one of the previous administrations – both Democrats and Republicans. Finally, we also talk about Kamala Harris’ first international trip as Vice President to Guatemala and Mexico and what came out of that visit.

Alejandra Mejía is Chief Editor of Migrant Roots Media, an independent media platform which seeks to unearth the root causes of global migration. She received her BA in Comparative Literature and Latinx Studies from Williams College in 2017 and is currently an Assistant Editor at Duke University Press where she acquires books in Latinx History. Her politics and devotion to migrant justice are largely informed by her lived experiences as a working-class Central American immigrant in the United States.

U.S. State Department Searching for Ways to ‘Support’ Cuban Protestors + Mayorkas tells fleeing Haitian, Cuban migrants to not come to U.S.

U.S. State Department Searching for Ways to ‘Support’ Cuban Protestors

Price went through the typical talking points of proponents of the embargo. He said there are exemptions for humanitarian goods. But study after study has shown, no matter how many exemptions, US economic sanctions still have a negative impact on the supply of food and medicine because it discourages companies from doing any business with the targeted countries.
