Empire, Stability, and the Smokescreen of MoralityBy Renaldo C. McKenzieLet us be honest—brutally honest, the way history demands and empire resents.What is unfolding in Venezuela, and across the wider Caribbean basin, has little to do with democracy, human rights, or some sudden moral awakening in Washington. It has everything to do with power—raw, unapologetic, strategic power—and the anxiety that sets in when that power feels challenged.The United States does not intervene because a government is despotic. If that were the case, half the world's strongmen would be facing sanctions before breakfast. The United States intervenes when dominance is threatened—when a small country dares to rearrange its economic loyalties, when it flirts with alternatives, when it whispers to Beijing or Moscow instead of kneeling to Washington.This is not conjecture. This is pattern. Take Venezuela. The hostility toward the Maduro government is not rooted in humanitarian outrage. It is rooted in the fact that Venezuela has chosen to deepen relations with China and Russia—to do business outside the American orbit. That is the unforgivable sin. Everything else—drugs, dictatorship, democracy—is stage dressing.The same script plays across the Caribbean. Jamaica, like many of its neighbors, has welcomed Chinese investment: ports modernized, infrastructure built, capital flowing where Western lenders once stalled. Suddenly, “stability” becomes a concern. Suddenly, sovereignty is suspect. Funny how that works.This is not about policing the world's conscience. It is about preserving a hierarchy. History offers receipts. In Guyana, the United States once supported a government that was neither democratic nor just—one that violently suppressed dissent and oversaw the assassination of revolutionary scholar Walter Rodney. That regime, led by Forbes Burnham, was later found culpable by a commission of inquiry. Yet at the time, it enjoyed American backing. Why? Because it played ball. It served U.S. interests. Morality, apparently, is negotiable.Contrast that with today. Guyana now hosts massive U.S. oil interests, where American corporations extract vast wealth while the Guyanese people receive a fraction. That arrangement is deemed acceptable—commendable, even. But let Guyana decide tomorrow to nationalize its resources, to partner elsewhere, or to rely on itself, and watch how quickly the tone changes. Hypothetical? Hardly. We have seen this movie before.Consider Cuba—decades under embargo, not because it threatens the world, but because it refuses submission. Consider Ukraine, punished by war for seeking stability outside one imperial sphere and into another. When small nations move independently, the ground shakes.The language of “communism” is the oldest smokescreen in the book. It is wheeled out whenever convenient, retired when inconvenient. The real crime is not ideology—it is disobedience.This is the central argument of my forthcoming book, Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered: Unfair Competition and the Death of Nations. Nations do not collapse simply because of internal failure; they are often pushed—cornered by systems designed to ensure that wealth flows upward and outward, never inward, never locally, never freely.And here lies the uncomfortable truth: empire does not require virtue. It requires compliance.Yes, America wants to remain competitive. That desire is not irrational. But competitiveness built on coercion, embargoes, and destabilization is not leadership—it is fear masquerading as strength. And fear, history tells us, is a dangerous policy advisor.The Caribbean must tread carefully. Sovereignty is costly. Independence comes with consequences. But the alternative—permanent subordination dressed up as partnership—is far more expensive in the long run.Renaldo is the Author of Neoliberalism, 2021) and Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Unfair Competition and the Death of Nations", contributions by Martin Oppenheimer

Renaldo McKenzie, Author of the Neoliberalism book series, discusses his upcoming book in light of what is happening in the world today. Renaldo raises the issue of unfair competition a theme in his books and also classism and racism and zero in on the reason why Trump's America first is a facade - America first like racism is a strategic distraction to elitism. Renaldo asserts that Trump is willing to give billions of dollars to Argentina but is unwilling to extend the ACA healthcare premiums for millions of Working Class Americans whose insurance is set to go up. Renaldo highlights the issue of unfair competition in the world where post-industrial countries unfairly profit from Global South and vulnerable countries in the Global South while advancing draconian immigration policies on these countries while charging tariffs in addition to the huge gains they get from unfair tactics with these countries.Renaldo briefly notes these as points he will consider in his book that his coming up - Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Unfair Competition and the Death of Nations, part 2 in the Neoliberalism book series.Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered is co-authored by Professor Emeritus Martin Oppenheimer.Renaldo McKenzie is also the author of "Neoliberalism Globalization Income Inequality Poverty and Resistance"Renaldo is a graduate of University of Pennsylvania and a Professor at Jamaica Theological Seminary where he teaches Caribbean Thought in the Summer.

The American Media continues to mislead us about the truth about everything. Example, is it true that Hurricane Melissa devastated the island of Jamaica? NO. Yet they report that. Is it true that Somalia is a dirty country? No... Yet the President reports that and the public believes it because that is what the American media shows about the other... which continues to create false narratives about people and places. What if we were to say that Hurricane devatated the US? Would that be true? No for it only affected the people in New Orleans. They seem to be mixing up the whole with the part and the mathematical idea of subsets.Renaldo discussed this on this Podcast brief.Renaldo is the author of Neoliberalism, available at https://store.theneoliberal.com and worldwide on Amazon, Ingramspark and Barnes and Noble etc. Visit us at https://theneoliberal.com

Recently Trump declares that Immigrants from Black and Brown countries are not welcomed only those white people from Europe such as Norway. Yet European leaders are saying that Trump has not been an ally of Europe siding with dictators like Putin from Russia and disrupting the relationship between the European Union and USA.Renaldo discusses this as he shares some poignant points from his book Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality Poverty and Resistance which was part of a thesis at the University of Pennsylvania which he completed in 2013 and pusblished the book in 2021. Part 2 is about to be released under the title Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Neo-capitalism and the Death of Nations.The books are available worldwide in all formats and book 2 will be available later this year.

Question: Is there an attempt by Mainstream Media through movies and ads to ILLEGITIMIZE Podcasts?Recently, Netflix released a limited series called The Beast in Me. The series seems to use sly tactics to sow doubt in people's minds about the legitimacy of podcasters. Renaldo discusses this in his soliloquy raising the alarm about mainstream media's attempts to re-centralize and re-monopolize its hold over communication and information. Renaldo plays an excerpt of the series and presents his arguments.What do you think; do you agree with Renaldo's assessment and opinion here about the attack on podcasters by mainstream?

Faith often begins in the struggle. In this heartfelt message, Elena Renaldo shares her journey through seasons of loss, family challenges, and emotional hardship—likening it to the exhaustion of an early morning run that tested her endurance and resolve. Drawing from the story of Joseph, she reminds listeners that even in confusion and pain, God is weaving good from what feels broken. Elena opens up about moments of anger and distance from God during her adolescence and the peace that came when she surrendered her anxieties to Him. Her message calls believers to trust continuously, pray honestly, and release daily burdens to God. The session concludes with a prayer of gratitude and an encouragement to keep running in faith, confident that God's plan is still unfolding—even in the storm

The Neoliberal Round Podcast by Renaldo McKenzieEpisode Script: “Faith, Film, and the Future Featuring Abria Jackson”Creator/Host: Renaldo C. McKenzie[Intro]Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of The Neoliberal Round Podcast. I'm your host, Rev. Renaldo McKenzie.Today, I'm honored to sit with the dynamic, ever-charming, and deeply talented Abria Jackson—an actress, mentor, and graduate student whose career and calling blend art, faith, and service.Abria recently starred in Night of Violence, which opened at the prestigious FrightFest in the UK. She traveled to London with her mother to witness the premiere, and we'll talk about that powerful experience. We'll also dive into her work on Law & Order: Organized Crime, her inspirations from Viola Davis and Halle Berry, her mentoring of young women, and her pursuit of a master's degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology.[Segment 1 – The UK Premiere]Renaldo: What was it like, sitting in that London theater with your mom, watching your film open FrightFest?Abria: “It was very emotional. My father passed away a couple of years ago, and he was so supportive of my dream. Knowing my mom was in the audience reminded me that I have people who love me and support me. I also felt like my dad was there, watching from heaven. My mom was cheering, even when no one else was, and people around her were cracking up—it was unforgettable.”Renaldo: What did it mean personally to have her there?Abria: “It felt full circle. God was reminding me to keep going, that I'm on the right path. The fact that my mom was alive and present for that moment—it meant everything.”[Segment 2 – Acting as Healing]Renaldo: You mentioned Catwoman, a Black rock star, and Tanya from Mortal Kombat as dream roles. Why those?Abria: “All three connect directly to my childhood. They'd heal my inner child. Acting was more than entertainment—it was spiritual. Growing up, life wasn't always glitter and rainbows. Acting gave me an outlet, and now keeping that inner child alive helps me bring truth to every role.”[Segment 3 – Balancing Faith, Career, and Self-Care]Renaldo: How do you balance school, career, and everything else?Abria: “I'm very intentional with my time. I write everything in my planner and make sure I hit my goals. But I also remind myself that you can't pour from an empty cup. Self-care matters. For me, that's $5 Tuesdays at the movies—it's my reset.”Renaldo: And your faith?Abria: “Faith keeps me going. My mom once bought a name meaning that said Aabria means faith. That's my story. When auditions don't come, when money's tight—faith carries me.”[Segment 4 – Mentorship & Psychology]Renaldo: Beyond acting, you're also co-leading a mentorship group for teen girls and pursuing a master's in counseling. What inspired that?Abria: “Even in high school, people would come up to me and share their lives. It felt like a gift God placed in me. Now I want to perfect that gift—get licensed, gain knowledge, and help people in ways that blend spirituality and service.”[Segment 5 – Vision & Legacy]Renaldo: Looking ahead, what legacy do you want to build?Abria: “When God calls me home, I want people to say my life was an act of faith. Of course, I want roles that move people. But more than that, I want to be remembered as someone who served—who gave advice, helped people, and carried them through. What profits a person to gain the world but lose their soul? Character and service—that's the legacy I want.”[Closing]Abria Jackson is more than an actress—she is a storyteller, a servant, and a woman of faith. From Philly to London, from film sets to mentorship circles, her journey reminds us that art and service can walk hand in hand.You can follow Abria on Instagram at @itsabriajackson and on TikTok under her name.And stay tuned for her upcoming TV series Losing My Pride, expected in 2026.Thank you for listening to The Neoliberal Round Podcast. Until next time—walk good.

Question: Do you agree that Kamala Harris is not interesting and charismatic enough to be considered a leader? Twin Brothers Ricardo and Renaldo McKenzie debate whether Kamala was uncharismatic and not interesting during the last presidential election and throughout her time as VP and on Rachel Maddow Show last night 9.22.2025. It was former Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris first Live TV interview since loosing which also happen to mark the eve of the release of her new book. So the timing was no coincidence. Nevertheless the show is intersting as the twins get heated over the topic.

Words shape worlds. In this message, Dominic Renaldo begins with the story of Yellowstone National Park, showing how the removal—and later return—of wolves transformed the entire ecosystem. The illustration sets the stage for a spiritual truth: just as nature is interconnected, so are our words and their impact. Drawing from 1 Chronicles, Psalms, and Proverbs 18:21, Dominic reminds listeners that words hold power—not to create material things, but to bring encouragement or harm, life or death. Through personal stories and a creative experiment, he reveals how what we speak can strengthen others or tear them down. The message concludes with a call to speak life, use words that reflect Christ's love, and become restorers in the ecosystems of our relationships.

The US Open ended earlier this month but here is Renaldo talking up Tennis and US players as Coco was getting set to play Osaka the Japanese American player representing Japan, how ironic.

Renaldo sits down in Philadelphia with Twin Brother Ricardo Mckenzie and Media Consultant Paul Booth for a rapid-fire Pulse: Trump's rhetoric and “unity,” the constitutionality of sending National Guard into cities, whether militarized policing reduces crime, the real drivers of violence (poverty and inequality), and the right's gerrymandering blitz. Then a quick pivot to sports: the Eagles' outlook, the Chiefs loss, and why Jalen Hurts doesn't need anyone's validation.

Quan l'admiraci

Renaldo McKenzie of The Neoliberal Round goes off on how the pundits are underrating the Eagles performance last night against the Cowboys. Renaldo believes the Eagles never had to do much to beat the Cowboys and that the Eagles had a thin defense and rarely got their other stars involved in the game highlighting how easy the won was. #Eagles beats the @dallascowboys easily without having to get most of their stars involved I the game. Even with a so-called undisplined defense with young guys and a supportive cast of referees Cowboys failed to stop the @Eagles. Renaldo McKenzie is a Philly resident and Eagles fan. Renaldo is Author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality Poverty and Resistance.Visit us at https://theneoliberal.com.
