BEHIND U.S. IMPERIALISM IN SOUTH AMERICA
In this 1995 interview, former CIA officer turned whistleblower Phil Agee—author of several books exposing the agency’s inner workings—discusses U.S. imperialism in South America.
He explains how Cuba’s success in providing state-funded universal health care and education, despite widespread poverty, set a dangerous precedent for the United States. According to Agee, Cuba’s example demonstrated that a poor nation could still meet the needs of its people without bowing to U.S. corporate or political control. The same was true for Grenada and Nicaragua—nations the U.S. sought to destroy and make examples of.
Agee makes the underlying reason for this aggression clear:
“Any movement that comes to power with the idea of providing for all the people, and escaping the control of the United States—its economy, its corporations, and so forth—is bad news here in the United States, particularly in the upper circles of power and influence.”
What is striking about this interview is how relevant it remains three decades later. The same patterns persist today: U.S. hostility toward Venezuela and its efforts to dismantle the Chavista and Bolivarian revolutions by promoting a U.S.-aligned figure such as María Corina Machado under the false pretext of a “war on drugs”; its pressure in Bolivia to remove leftist leader Evo Morales from power and later block his candidacy; its interference in Haiti; punitive tariffs on Brazil for aligning with the BRICS bloc; and threats against Panama for profiting from its canal. These examples show that the U.S. continues to pursue a hegemonic approach toward its neighbours—and indeed toward any country in the Global South that dares to step outside its capitalist orbit.
Just as in Agee’s time, truth-tellers who challenge U.S. power often face retaliation, even when they are Americans themselves. Agee had his passport revoked, endured years of CIA harassment after leaving the agency, was accused of collaborating with foreign intelligence services, and was expelled from several Western European countries—one after another—before finally finding refuge in Cuba, where he lived until he died in 2008.

@ProudSocialist @figgdimension All Imperialist Zionuts like Rubio know how to do is to project their nations own sins upon those whom they attack.
May he and all of his ilk face tribunals for their war crimes.

@JeremyWard33 @SocialistMMA It's a clear sign to me that they have never investigated the nuclear doctrine of any nation, including the US. They have only consumed the Russophobic propaganda that the self-styled "opulent minority" have fed the American public for centuries; those mfrs wanna colonize Russia.

@SocialistMMA When libs be like "Russia gonna drop the bomb" I snort with derision. They should be much more afraid of their own military industrial complex with a red or blue lunatic at the helm

a nuclear scientist just got killed in an airstrike in Iran and honestly i need to talk about this because western media won't & i think most people don't understand what they're looking at
as i've been explaining for weeks now in multiple threads, Israel through Mossad has been assassinating Iranian scientists for over a decade and i genuinely think the Fakhrizadeh case is one of the most terrifying operations in modern intelligence history
this man was killed in 2020 by a remote controlled ai-powered machine gun smuggled into Iran in pieces over several months, the whole thing weighed a ton, it was mounted on a pickup truck on the side of the road and operated via satellite from a Mossad command center 1 600 km away, 15 bullets fired in under 60 seconds, the AI compensated for the satellite delay the recoil and the speed of the car in real time, that's how far they're willing to go to eliminate Iranian brainpower one by one
but here's what i find fascinating, the assassinations didn't break the ecosystem because it runs too deep, so they escalated, US just bombed Iran's university of science and technology, one of the oldest and most prestigious in the country and if you've been following me you already know why this matters
these are the same institutions that took Iran from 58th to 4th in the world in nanotechnology in 20y that produce the engineers who designed the Arvand rocket engine and the maneuverable reentry vehicles, that trained the physicists behind the MRBM to IRBM leap to 4 000 km on Diego Garcia, i've been writing about this scientific ecosystem for years and everything happening right now is the logical continuation of what i already laid out
and i think that's the part nobody wants to say out loud, this war was never about nukes or regime change, i believe it's about dismantling the only sovereign state in the Middle East and i mean the ONLY ONE
look at every other country in the region, Saudi Arabia outsources its entire defense to the Pentagon & couldn't fight a war in Yemen for 8y without American logistics and still lost, the UAE bought F-35s in exchange for normalizing with Israel, Qatar hosts the largest US air base in the region at Al Udeid, Bahrain hosts the US Fifth fleet, Kuwait, Iraq Jordan are military protectorates in everything but name none of these countries design manufacture or deploy their own weapons systems, none of them have an indigenous defense industry, their sovereignty ends where the next Lockheed Martin contract begins, if Washington calls tomorrow and says stop they stop because they literally cannot function without american hardware
Iran is the ONLY country in that entire region that built everything from scratch under 40y of total embargo because NOBODY would sell them anything and that's exactly why they're the target
they know the only way to stop this machine is to kill the people who build it…and when killing them one by one wasn't enough to crack an ecosystem too deep to break, they started bombing the universities directly and i'll say this as clearly as i can
you don't bomb a university when you're winning a war, you bomb a university when you've realized the real threat was never the arsenal it was the intelligence behind it and you have no idea how to stop it

BREAKING 🔴 Reports that a nuclear scientist was killed in an airstrike in Dorud, Lorestan Province, Iran.

America is the richest, most powerful, and most generous country in the world. We are so superior to everyone else, and so charitable and kind and helpful, that unfortunately many of the lesser countries on the globe have become welfare queens who expect us to coddle, care for, fund, fight for and protect them. We are the parents who have taken good care of our children, but have not forced them to contribute enough, or earn their own keep, and now they are spoiled, ungrateful, and helpless. It’s time to cut the umbilical cord and force the rest of the countries to stand on their own two feet. We can’t do everything for everyone.

Breaking News: The U.S. will allow a Russian oil tanker to reach Cuba, letting critical fuel in after months of what amounted to a blockade. nyti.ms/4ddfEEw

If it’s not a blockade, why does Washington have to "allow" trade between sovereign nations? This "permission" is the smoking gun of a State of Exception (Agamben/Schmitt). Holding an entire population's electricity and food hostage for months is a Crime Against Humanity and a textbook case of collective punishment (Ian Brownlie).
The hypocrisy is deafening: the NYTimes headlines would be screaming about "war crimes" if China did this. We see constant outrage over the Russian invasion of Ukraine, yet the U.S. maintains a far more brutal, systemic strangulation of Iran and Cuba with zero media accountability.
They aren't being "humanitarian" by letting one ship through; they're just adjusting the noose they’ve had around Cuba’s neck for 60 years. Stop blaming the "system" when the U.S. Treasury is the one cutting the fuel lines. ⛽️🚫

That the Russian oil tanker enters Cuba is a victory for the challenge of these two nations against the Empire. The United States does not have the right to allow or not allow the entry of oil into Cuba.
The United States is not doing us a favor, in any case, the fair and correct thing would be to let us live in peace, and not prevent the entry of oil from anyone who is willing to sell it to us.
