P. GREANVILLE—The materials featured below is the work of great political didacts, people of great talent as filmmakers, and political analysts. Patricio Guzman, the Chilean documentarian and author of The Battle of Chile (BOC), filmed literally in the teeth of Chile’s bloody counter-revolution, its precious stock smuggled out of the country with the aid of a brave antifascist, none other than Harald Edelstam, the Swedish ambassador (who had already gained distinction in WW2 by rescuing Jews and many antifascists from the Nazis), needs little introduction. The documentary, needless to say, made on the mythical shoestring, and eventually completed with the aid of Cuba, is a masterpiece of astute and accurate storytelling. Indeed, Guzman’s small team seems to be everywhere something critical is happening: in the copper mines where the workers are wrongheadedly siding against the government; inspecting the critical truck owners strike that selfishly and myopically paralyzed the country at a decisive moment (an ominous sign that, as Communist party leader Luis Corvalán feared, the middle and lower-middle-classes had not been fully won to the revolutionary project); or inside the Chilean Congress itself, where one naked betrayal after another seals the fate of Chile according to plans already drawn up in the late 1960s (we now know for a fact) in the US White House and America’s sordid intelligence and military precincts in conjunction with the traitorous Chilean oligarchy.

Why is the “Deep State” arming the terrorists?
10 minutes readDonald Trump wanted to withdraw US troops at least from Northern Syria, leaving it in the care of Russians and Turks, but James Jeffrey, US Special Representative for Syria and Iraq, long in the service of the “Deep State,” lied to his president, downplaying the number of troops and giving a distorted picture of what was going on in the region. This eventually cost him his job, but Donald Trump did lose his battle with the system while still in office.

US Concern for Cuba, Latin America is Spin for Intervention
18 minutes readTAMARA PEARSON—Biden called on the Cuban government to “refrain from violence” – a hypocritical stance given the police murders and repression in his own country. “We are assessing how we can be helpful to the people of Cuba,” said White House spokesperson Jen Psaki, using the savior discourse, but not considering repealing the sanctions.
Legendary billboard with Fidel’s encoraging words: “Onward. We’re doing fine!”
Meanwhile, US vice-president Kamala Harris has been making a show of helping Central America and Mexico by ostensibly addressing corruption and the “root causes” of migration in the region. Seven months into the year and no actual help has arrived, but she did tell migrants fleeing for their lives not to come to the US, and the US has kept its border closed – in stark violation of human rights and its own asylum seeker laws.

Afghanistan War Outcome: Hope for Sovereign Nations Fighting the Scourge of Neocolonial Imperialism
33 minutes readGILBERT MERCIER—As far as military tensions in the region, there are many countries besides Syria where conflicts between Iran-supported groups and US-supported proxies are simmering, or full blown. The US does its work, not only via Israel in the entire region, but also Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in Yemen, and presently Turkey in Syria. Right now conflicts are active in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Palestine, but something could ignite in Lebanon at any time.
Iran views itself as the lead supporter of the resistance movement, not only through its support for regional allies like Hezbollah and Bashar al-Assad, but also beyond the Middle-East, for Maduro in Venezuela.
