The US empire is waging a neocolonial assault all across Latin America.
The US blatantly meddled in Colombia's election. Trump and Marco Rubio backed the far-right, multimillionaire candidate Abelardo de la Espriella (a defender of fascist paramilitaries), and there are serious irregularities in the results.
Colombia's current left-wing President Gustavo Petro has been very pro-Palestine and pro-China. He cut relations with the genocidal Israeli regime and joined China's Belt and Road Initiative.
De la Espriella vows to form a close alliance with the US and Israel, and minimize relations with China. Just a few weeks before the elections, he was in Florida, meeting with far-right US politicians who are close allies of Trump and Rubio.
The same thing is happening across the continent. The US carried out a blatant electoral coup in Honduras, to put a drug cartel-linked, pro-US, pro-Israel, anti-China puppet in power.
The US is currently trying to steal the election in Peru, to put the daughter of the fascist former dictator in power.
The US empire already has far-right puppets in power in Argentina, Chile, and Ecuador. The leader of Chile is the Pinochet-defending son of a Nazi war criminal. The dictator of Ecuador is the son of the country's richest billionaire oligarch.
Brazil is the next target of the US empire's neocolonial assault, in this year's election.
This is the colonial Monroe Doctrine in the neo-fascist era.
Way too many people talking about this ADCC slam than I care to admit. Shit was bad, could’ve been worse, but we’ve seen way worse…
Keep it moving and let’s not make this a thing.
This is weird… so her buddy Matt Bernstein can attend Zohran & Brad Lander (a Zionist mind you) events unmasked, and still be treated as a respected voice on Palestine. Taylor can appear on Matt’s podcast, be perfectly comfortable with that relationship, and never seem particularly concerned about his lack of masking.
But she went out of her way to publicly attack a disabled Palestinian for not masking on the set of a podcast.
Influencers and friends get the benefit of the doubt. But when it’s a Palestinian, suddenly there’s a moral lecture.
It feels like Palestinians are the only people who are never afforded generosity, context, or understanding that everyone else, especially liberal Zionists, receives automatically.

They knew exactly who Mona Khalil was.
They knew the bright orange house in Mansouri, south Lebanon. They knew it was not a military site, not a command center, not a battlefield position. It was one of the most recognizable symbols of environmental conservation on Lebanon's southern coast; a sanctuary dedicated to protecting endangered sea turtles and preserving life.
Mona spent her years defending the most vulnerable creatures of the Mediterranean, teaching generations that every life matters, that nature is not a casualty to be discarded, and that humanity has a duty to protect what cannot protect itself.
Yet the same orange house that stood as a beacon of conservation became a target for terrorist Israel.
This was an assault on a woman whose life's work was devoted to safeguarding life itself. A woman known internationally for her environmental activism, whose name had become synonymous with the protection of Lebanon's coastline and its endangered sea turtles.
The murder of Mona Khalil sends a chilling message: even those whose only weapon is compassion, whose only mission is preservation, are not spared.

Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa on Lebanon:
Why is Lebanon always forced to choose between civil war and an Israeli war? Why can there not be a third option?
Let us search for a third option and reach an agreement within Lebanon to move beyond the current crises into a stable environment, especially now that the Syrian situation—which for years was a major pressure on Lebanese politics—has changed completely.
⭕️ NEW: Colombian President Gustavo Petro has alleged that Israel interfered in Colombia’s presidential election, citing alleged irregularities in the country’s vote counting process and calling for a full audit and recount.
🔸With preliminary results showing 49.3% for Abelardo de la Espriella and 49% for Gustavo Bolívar Cepeda, Petro noted that neither candidate can be declared president until the official scrutiny process is completed, which under Colombia’s electoral system determines the final result.
🔸He cited changes to the national registry’s server IP addresses, which he said indicate the electoral software may have been compromised. Petro claimed that “the only entity in the world capable” of carrying out the alleged cyber interference is “the state of Israel.”
▪️His remarks come just weeks after French authorities linked the Israeli firm BlackCore to digital interference campaigns targeting elections featuring leftist candidates in France, Scotland, New York City, Angola, and Togo. French investigators have not identified who commissioned the operations.
Petro alleged several additional irregularities in posts on X, including:
🔹 Lawyers being blocked from entering the main vote counting center in Bogotá.
🔹 Unsigned E14 polling forms being uploaded by election authorities.
He called for:
🔹 An independent forensic audit of the electoral software.
🔹 A recount of all polling stations.
🔹 Judicial oversight of the scrutiny process.
🔸Petro also urged Colombians to remain calm and called for national dialogue regardless of the final outcome.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is congratulating Colombia’s far-right candidate on an election victory before the official count has been announced, relying on a preliminary tally published by a private software. Colombia’s electoral scrutiny process, which determines the final result, is still underway.
Rubio’s early recognition has drawn criticism from observers who argue it seeks to shape international perception and build consensus before any official results are made public.
The move comes after President Gustavo Petro alleged the vote counting system had been compromised and claimed Israel was responsible, calling for a full audit.
The chief says it will take MONTHS to investigate this like we can't all see the video. What they hope is people will forget about it and the cop will be free to kill actual people next time.
