Cuba and Venezuela are in the crosshairs of the new Trump administration, and Trump has already put Cuba back on the heavily sanctioned state sponsor of terrorism list without reason. With declarations of a “Monroe Doctrine 2.0” and threats to seize the Panama Canal, the sovereignty of all of Latin America is at stake. Brian is joined by Manolo De Los Santos, the executive director of The People's Forum in New York, to discuss the tactics used in this hybrid war by U.S. imperialism against the country, which possesses the largest oil reserves in the world.

In the latest Venezuelan election, the U.S. brought out its imperialist toolkit of lies and propaganda to try to overturn the democratically elected government of Nicolas Maduro. But so far it hasn't worked, with hundreds of thousands mobilizing to defend the government and the military still intact. Brian is joined by Manolo De Los Santos, the executive director of The People's Forum in New York, to discuss the tactics used in this hybrid war by U.S. imperialism against the country, which possesses the largest oil reserves in the world.

In a massive, nationally coordinated crackdown, the United States has arrested nearly 3,000 U.S. students in the last week. Many have been beaten, pepper sprayed, and tear gassed; expelled from their housing; and many will be expelled from their university altogether. Using U.S. bombs and missiles, the Israeli military has launched a devastating assault on people in Rafah—where more than one million Palestinians took refuge from previous Israeli bombing. Brian Becker is joined by Layan Sima Fuleihan, a Palestinian organizer with the Shut It Down for Palestine coalition, a popular educator, organizer, the Education Director at The People's Forum, and an editor at 1804 Books, and Manolo De Los Santos, researcher at Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research and founder and executive director of The People's Forum in New York.

Seventy-five years ago, a witch hunt was launched in the United States against peace activists and leftists who opposed the growing danger of war with the Soviet Union. Today, as the United States has adopted major power conflict with China as its main military priority, and the danger of military confrontation with China grows, there is a new witch hunt against peace activists. But people are fighting back all around the globe. Brian Becker is joined by Manolo De Los Santos, the co-executive director of The People's Forum in New York, and Vijay Prashad, the Executive Director of the Tricontinental Institute for Social Research, Chief Editor of LeftWord Books, and a prolific author, most recently publishing a new book with Noam Chomsky called “The Withdrawal: Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and the Fragility of U.S. Power.” Please make an urgently-needed contribution to The Socialist Program by joining our Patreon community at patreon.com/thesocialistprogram.

For this discussion we welcome Manolo de los Santos to discuss the book Our Own Path to Socialism: Selected Speeches of Hugo Chávez.  Manolo de los Santos is the co-executive director of the People's Forum and is a researcher at Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. He co-edited, most recently, Viviremos: Venezuela vs Hybrid War and Comrade of the Revolution: Selected Speeches of Fidel Castro. He is a co-coordinator of the People's Summit for Democracy. Our Own Path to Socialism: Selected Speeches of Hugo Chávez is the first book length English translation of a collection of speeches from Hugo Chávez. Chávez left behind thousands of hours of speeches, and this book collects seven of them, presenting his theories, perspectives, and his visions of 21st century socialism. An almost encyclopedic blend of songs, stories, and dreams of the Venezuelan people, his words are a tool for young people seeking to understand the ideas of Chavismo and the Venezuelan process of building socialism in South America. This conversation is a combination of thinking with Chávez as a historian, as a student of socialist practice, a theorist, and as a revolutionary in his own right. We talk a bit along the way about the example of Cuba, Chávez's relationship to Fidel Castro, the influence of Mao Tse-Tung on his thinking, Chávez's thinking on urgency, socialism and the climate crisis, and on the critical importance of study to the revolutionary process. The book is available from 1804 Books and we highly recommend it. We want to thank Manolo and the folks at 1804 Books for this book and conversation. We also want to thank PM Press for donating 35 copies of the Mohawk Warrior Society for our incarcerated reading group (in partnership with Prisons Kill and Massive Bookshop). Thanks to their donation and contributions from listeners last month we do have enough to cover that book and the postage to send it in this month. And if you like what we do bringing you conversations like this every week then please become a patron of the show. Our show is 100% funded by our patrons and you can become one for as little as $1 a month and find out about things like our Wretched of the Earth study group which is going to start later this month.

A massive fire in Matanzas, Cuba, is coming under control after five days due to tireless efforts by firefighters and specialist crews. But the U.S. blockade, which worsened under Trump with 243 additional coercive measures, and which Biden has largely kept in place, has deprived Cuba of the equipment and resources necessary to handle this disaster.

The Summit of the Americas being held next month in Los Angeles is shaping up to be a humiliation for the Biden administration. In response to the United States' attempt to exclude Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua from the gathering, leaders in Bolivia, Mexico and Caribbean states plan to boycott. And activists in Los Angeles along with others throughout the country and the hemisphere are planning a People's Summit for Democracy as a counter-event to demand an end to U.S. aggression against Latin America and highlight the people's struggles against injustice inside the United States itself.

Since 1959, the Cuban Revolution has been a main target of the CIA and the entire U.S. government. Before the Revolution, Cuba was a de facto colony or semi-colony of the United States. Today, efforts to carry out counter-revolution are intensifying. Cuba is in the crosshairs -- what's at stake? Listen to our inaugural episode as part of BreakThrough News!

In this episode of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Anthony Lane, a student organizer at Howard University to discuss demonstrations at Howard University protesting unsafe housing conditions and a lack of shared governance, the repression that students are facing from Howard University administration, and the lack of student representation on and accountability from the university board of trustees.In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by journalist Spencer Snyder to discuss the financial interests that Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin hold that would happen to be affected by the reconciliation bill, the corporate media's lack of coverage on these financial interests, and its attacks and blame-shifting onto progressives.In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by technologist Chris Garaffa, the editor of TechforthePeople.org to discuss Google's manipulation of the online advertising market, its partnership with Facebook to track the online activity of Apple users, and the new cold war drive behind the proposition of a national research cloud by big tech companies that would profit from that project.Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Manolo De Los Santos, a member of the International People's Assembly, researcher for the Tri Continental Institute and co-editor of the new book “Comrade of the Revolution: Selected Speeches of Fidel Castro” which you can get at 1804books.com to discuss Cuba's success in vaccinating its population and contributing vaccines worldwide despite the US blockade, how the Cuban health care system has facilitated the proliferation of vaccines, the importance of internationalist perspectives in struggle against capitalism and imperialism, and impending protests in Cuba on the day Cuba is slated to open back up to tourism.

In this episode, I speak to Manolo about the reality on the ground in Cuba, how we can truly be in solidarity with those who are victims of imperial violence amongst many other topics.   Manolo De Los Santos is Co-Executive Director of The People's Forum and researcher at Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.

This article is the third in a series of articles on the situation in Cuba recently written by Manolo De Los Santos and Vijay Prashad. On July 22, US President Joe Biden and his Vice President Kamala Harris released a “fact sheet” on US “measures” against Cuba. The release from the White House said that Cuba was a “top priority for the Biden-Harris administration.” On March 9, Biden's Press Secretary Jen Psaki said, “A Cuba policy shift is not currently among President Biden's top priorities.” On July 12, NBC News reporter Kelly O'Donnell asked Psaki if Biden had reassessed his priorities regarding Cuba after the protests on the island the previous day. “In terms of where it ranks in a priority order,” Psaki replied, “I'm not in a position to offer that, but I can tell you that we will be closely engaged.” Not a priority, closely engaged, top priority: matters have moved rapidly from March 9 to July 22. What moved the Biden-Harris administration to focus so quickly on Cuba? On the morning of July 11, some people in Cuba—notably in the town of San Antonio de los Baños—took to the streets to express their dissatisfaction with the social and economic problems created by the US-imposed blockade and by the global pandemic. The reaction to these events in Havana and in Washington, D.C., is instructive: Cuba's President Miguel Díaz-Canel heard the news of the protests, got into a car, and drove the 40 miles to San Antonio de los Baños, where he met with the people; while in Washington, Biden used the protest to call for the overthrow of the Cuban government. US government-funded nongovernmental organizations and Cuban American groups hastened to take advantage of the frenzy, excited by the possibility of regime change in Cuba. On the evening of July 11, tens of thousands of Cubans rallied across Cuba to defend their revolutionary process. Since that Sunday evening, Cuba has been calm.

As we at Peoples Dispatch celebrate our three year anniversary, we hosted a one hour episode of your favorite weekly news roundup with two special guests. NewFrame news editor Monica Laganparsad joined us this week to discuss the food riots in Durban, South Africa and Manolo De Los Santos, founding director of The People's Forum, discussed the situation in Cuba. We also discussed updates from Haiti, billionaires (almost) in space, and Israeli authorities prohibiting Palestinian political prisoner Khalida Jarrar from attending her daughter's funeral.

Whether it is a social media bot campaign or a murky assassination plot, the call is: "Hands off Haiti" and "Hands off Cuba." And for this month's episode of the F-Word on fascism, Esther Iverem wonders aloud and about racist Jim Crow conditions and brutal dictatorship before the Cuban Revolution and asks writer and activist Manolo De Los Santos if this is the throwback reality that right-wing plotters want to revive. Plus headlines. Bonus content on Patreon: Professor Gerald Horne on the coming clash between U.S. and E.U. over climate policy.

On this episode of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Dr. Jack Rasmus, economist, radio show host, & author of 'The Scourge of Neoliberalism', to discuss comments made about Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell regarding inflation and unemployment, how the economy is set to impact housing in the near future, and the fate of the Democrats' infrastructure bill.In the second segment Jacquie are Sean are joined by Kambale Musavuli, activist, writer, & analyst with the Center for Research on the Congo-Kinshasa to discuss DRC President Felix Tshisekedi selecting former IMF official Malangu Kabedi-Mbuyi as the first woman to head the Congo's Central Bank, how this connects to the exploitative history of the IMF and World Bank in the Congo nad how the appointment can be used to obscure the reality of how Bretton Woods institutions have impacted the country.In the third segment, Jacquie and Sean are joined by Nino Brown, an elementary school teacher and organizer with Reds In Ed, to discuss what's really motivating the right-wing campaign against Critical Race Theory, what CRT actually is, how it's really a manufactured issue played up by the Right for a ‘culture war' and how teachers are organizing to fight this effort and teach the real history of the United States.Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Manolo De Los Santos, a member of the International People's Assembly, researcher for the Tri Continental Institute and co-author of ‘Viviremos: Venezuela vs. Hybrid War,' to discuss the misinformation campaign concerning Cuba amid recent protests, the difference between and embargo and a blockade, and how Cuba factors in the US' plans to maintain full spectrum domination.

US officials and their corporate media mouthpieces were elated at the sight of protests in Cuba in recent days against deteriorating living conditions that are a direct result of the US blockade, which Trump increased and Biden has maintained during the pandemic to deliberately heighten suffering at a time when Cuba was sending doctors around the world to fight the disease.As is often the case when an adversary country experiences protests of any kind, it was immediately weaponized to push for a regime change narrative against Cuba. There's so much to unpack, from the protest double standards, to the blatant efforts at meddling and sabotage, to the pure hypocrisy from those in power. To help make sense of it all, Rania Khalek was joined by Manolo De Los Santos, founder & co-director of The People's Forum in New York City and a researcher with Tricontinental who spent six years living in Cuba. 

In this segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Manolo De Los Santos, researcher for the Tri Continental Institute and co-author of “Viviremos: Venezuela vs. Hybrid War” to discuss the Syringes for Cuba campaign, how the US embargo against continues to cause suffering for the Cuban people under the coronavirus pandemic, Cuba's historic and contemporary contributions to humanity and how the campaign functions as a part of anti-imperialist struggle.

Ron Desantis' restrictive new voting access bill, how it clearly targets poor, working-class, Black people and people of color in the state, and Desantis' assault on Florida's people's movement, ‘from the ballot box to the streets.'In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Manolo De Los Santos, researcher for the Tri-Continental Institute and co-author of “Viviremos: Venezuela vs. Hybrid War” to discuss the Syringes for Cuba campaign, how the US embargo against continues to cause suffering for the Cuban people under the coronavirus pandemic, Cuba's historic and contemporary contributions to humanity and how the campaign functions as a part of anti-imperialist struggle.Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Ben Norton, journalist, Assistant Editor of the Grayzone, and the Producer and Co-host of the Moderate Rebels podcast, the escalating police violence against the working class and poor in Colombia as protests continue; the similarities between US imperialist involvement in the narco regime in Colombia and its involvement in the Contra counterinsurgency force in El Salvador; why Colombia is considered the Israel of Latin America; and how the biased reporting by US media of the Israeli violence against Palestinians in the recent Al Aqsa mosque attacks show that corporate media are stenographers for the ruling class, and why international solidarity is critical to fighting the entire system.

In this episode of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Manolo De Los Santos, researcher for the Tri Continental Institute and co-author of “Viviremos: Venezuela vs. Hybrid War,” to discuss the revolutionary life and legacy of Vladimir Lenin on his 151st birthday, Langston Hughes' timeless tribute to the communist leader, and why studying the methods and strategies he offered subsequent generations is so crucial for serious anti-capitalist organizers.

Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Frank Chapman, Director of the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, and author of the new book, “Marxist-Leninist Perspectives on Black Liberation and Socialism,” to discuss the move by Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot to silence Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez as he demanded answers in the police killing of 13-year-old Adam Toledo, why many have little faith in the proposed Department of Justice investigation of the Minneapolis Police Department, and how the theories and practices first articulated by Vladimir Lenin show meaningful change in the social structure can only come through unity among working Black people and revolutionary factions in the US.

In this episode of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Richard Becker, Western Regional Coordinator of ANSWER to discuss his latest article in Liberation News, "Trump and the Tactics of Mass Disenfranchisement," whether Donald Trump may seek to overturn the results of the election, and the alarming tactics by his supporters he's apparently endorsing.In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Chris Garaffa, editor of Tech For The People, to discuss the National Security Agency's public refusal to discuss whether they're continuing to install backdoors in devices, and the abuse of Department of Motor Vehicles information in California being sold to third parties.In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Dr. Gnaka Lagoke, Assistant Professor of History and Pan-African Studies at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania and founder of the Revival of Pan-Africanism Forum, to discuss the latest in the political crisis in the Ivory Coast, why many are calling for a "transition" away from the government of President Alassane Ouattara's, and the forces behind the conflict.Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Manolo De Los Santos, researcher for the Tricontinental Institute, to discuss early voting in the 2020 US Presidential election, the millions of people excluded from 'democracy' here, and the ongoing imperialist machinations of the capitalist system abroad.
