A spectre is haunting Nuestra América, the spectre of revolution. In the latest evidence that the empire is crumbling, the Epstein Government of Amerika has decided to continue its legacy of sending guns, bombs, and blockades to steal resources and lives from the world to quench their vampiric thirst.
Currently, the fascist and imperialist government, working for the board members of the U.S. war machine, escalates the blockade, weaponizes fuel access, unnecessarily maintains Cuba on the State Sponsors of Terrorism list, and threatens overthrow of the Revolution. The claim that this nation of 11 million people poses an “unusual and extraordinary threat to U.S. National Security” is baseless.
It is the Epstein ruling class that poses an unusual and extraordinary threat to Cuba, as well as the international community. The United States is currently funding genocide and destruction and causing starvation in Sudan, Palestine, Congo, and greater West Asia and Africa. We see this imperialist aggression across the Caribbean and Latin America: in Ayití and Borikén through military occupation; through sanctioning regime change against the Bolivarian Revolution of Venezuela and the Islamic Republic of Iran, all to control the nations’ central banking systems.
The unusual threat comes from the growing trend of the global imperial state targeting and illegally brutalizing and kidnapping activists and migrants. We see it clearly in Kenya with the imperialist brutalization and detainment of Kenyan comrade and Secretary General of the Communist Party Marxist Kenya (CPM-K), Booker Ngesa Omole, who has been kidnapped by the U.S. puppet Kenyan regime and is currently being denied bail. The latest kidnapping of Comrade Booker highlights a global trend of the imperial state targeting and illegally brutalizing and kidnapping activists and migrants.
The ongoing genocides in Sudan, Congo, Palestine, and greater West Asia and Africa clearly show us that the imperialist enemy has no moral conscience, as Kwame Ture reminds us vividly. The cannibalistic and inhumane ruling class of the United States of Amerika, in solidarity with the Dajjal-worshipping entities of Israel, have continuously escalated their genocides and aggressions. They are able to do this with the continual support from reactionary puppet governments of the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Jordan, who have allowed for the injustices against our brothers and sisters in Sudan, Palestine, Congo, and Iran to continue.
As we see the horrors continue to unfold from the tiny screens of our phones, laptops, and TVs, the immobilization against the imperialist forces within the Belly of the Beast continues to astound me.
Washington’s Regime Change Plan for Cuba
Millions of Cuban people are being plunged into darkness and starvation due to fuel shortages caused by the U.S. complete oil blockade. This is an extension of a long maintained imperial policy in a futile attempt to force capitulation, to topple the Cuban revolution, and to achieve regime change by collectively punishing the Cuban people.
The United States has been illegally occupying a part of Cuba, Guantánamo Bay, for over 120 years, which has been since day one a violation of international law. The Platt Agreement was signed by force under duress. If Cuba did not lease this territory as a naval and coaling station, Cuba would have been exposed to a second intervention after winning The Ten Years’ War against the Spanish imperial pigdogs in 1898. The occupation of Guantánamo Bay is a violation of international law. The United States has used Guantánamo for purposes that are not exactly a naval station, revealed to be inhumane and illegal torture concentration camps where West Asian, African, and Indigenous brothers and sisters were taken against their will and were tortured by machine men with machine hearts.
Anti-Democratic and Colonial Dictatorship in Borikén
We see this explicit colonial manipulation through the implementation of white supremacist culture by forcing English to be adopted as the “national working language” in occupied Borikén, and the displacement of funds from public schools and local colleges and universities into private charter schools and private universities. This push to privatize education in Borikén is an imperial tactic with the sole aim of increasing militarization in Borikén.
This push to privatize education in Borikén is an imperial tactic with the sole aim of driving poor and working class students unable to pay for their studies or compete in the saturated job market to enlist themselves in the occupation forces of the United States military. The reactionary Puerto Rican government passed Law 69, establishing Yanqui military presence in Puerto Rico.
Only working for the interests of the endorsers of the PNP and the Epstein ruling class of the United States, they are destroying the socio-economic framework in everyday Boricua society by continuing to allow vulture capitalists to exploit Act 60 (formerly known as Act 20/22), which allows for 0-4 percent tax rate cuts. Act 60 has fueled a cycle of displacement and gentrification, where the vast majority of properties and businesses are privatized and converted to Airbnbs targeting tourists, rather than providing affordable housing and commercial space for long-time residents.
Bad Bunny’s residence caused a 664 percent increase in Airbnb usage, which furthered the class division in Boricua. Pero ya saben, acho PR es otra cosa y para que sea otra cosa, es la hora de dar revolución.
The government is enforcing the occupation forces of the United States’ inhumane immigration practices in the occupied nation. For months, gestapo ICE agents have targeted neighborhoods which has led to over 1,000 migrant brothers and sisters being indiscriminately targeted, primarily Haitians, Venezuelans, and Dominicans. Last November, the reactionary Puerto Rican state under the New Progressive Party (PNP), vende patrias, authorized and encouraged the illegal sale and construction of “luxury residential houses” where they will and are destroying the flora and fauna, displacing natural habitats and polluting waters and land, as seen with Proyecto Esencia, where the colonizers use the land as their personal playground.
This strangulation allows for the enforcement and continuation of a permanent war economy at the people’s expense, as we see with this current administration announcing the new Operation Condor 2.0 called “Operation Total Extermination” in tandem with the Shield of the Americas meeting with the ultra-right presidents of repressive governments across Latin America and the Caribbean. Alike Daniel Noboa, José Antonio Kast, and Nayib Bukele.
Military Exploitation in Ayití, colonially known as Haiti and Dominican Republic
The reactionary fascist puppet government of the Dominican Republic in support of the Core Group imperial interests has exerted state-sanctioned violence and terror in both occupied and forcibly separated nations of Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
Washington has historically implanted reactionary and fascist terror regimes alike Rafael Trujillo and Juan Bosch, who profited from the system of labor segregation and racial exploitation of Haitian workers in the sugar cane industry. The fascist Dominican state under the ill leadership of Puppet President Luis Rodolfo Abinader, with a net worth of $4.36 billion DOP, has been complicit with U.S. imperialism in recent imperialist aggressions against Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua.
Just last month, four Ayisyena women were forcibly removed from Borikén near Ayití’s southern border near the Dominican Republic and were murdered in cold blood by the reactionary gangs, acting as both combatants and drivers of instability in the region, alongside the reactionary imperial puppet governments of the Dominican Republic and Trinidad and Tobago.
This is not new at all and has unfortunately been a constant reality in the fascist country of the Dominican Republic. Pregnant Haitian sisters are viciously persecuted and then deported, often forced to give birth to their children at home alone and lacking the minimum resources and support needed for safe delivery. Lourdia Jean Pierre, a mother, died right after giving birth to her son, who minutes after being brought into this world was persecuted and unjustly imprisoned with his father. Children are not even spared from the evil. Stephora Anne Mircie-Joseph, a 12-year-old child and beloved daughter of Lovelie Joseph Raphael, was drowned on a school trip by racist and cold-hearted classmates who did this within sight of three adults. The anti-Haitianism and anti-Blackness is a sickness that is plaguing the minds and hearts of the people of Quisqueya.
Cuba exemplifies the global struggle against western hegemony and imperialism. Despite increasingly dire conditions caused by decades of U.S. warfare, Cuba’s commitment to internationalism has never wavered, materially, medically, or militarily. Cuba has been one of the world’s teachers, healers, protectors, and friends. As Fidel proclaimed, “We do not fold our arms and we will never fold our arms.” We must escalate our collective response by denouncing imperialist lies, increasing our material support, and telling the truth about this peaceful nation. We will not surrender. We will not rest until the genocidal blockade is removed and Cuba is able to forge its own destiny and exercise self-determination by any means necessary.
To end this war is to be in the necessary war against the Dajjalic evil men and women who disguise themselves as humans. Who continue to build a world where we are all forced to endure horror after horror. Where our children, because all the children of the world are our children, live in fear instead of being able to live joyfully and whimsically as they deserve to.
Our Cuban comrades have made our assignment astoundingly clear. “If we don’t do something, we’re all going to die.” As Martí instructed, “to do is better than to say.”
¡Que Viva la Revolución Cubana! ¡Insha’Allah Venceremos!
