The Anti-Drug Farce Again
Comandante Antonio García
Since the post-pandemic period and the most recent global economic crisis, which put in check the supremacy of the United States as the only global potential, it has been leading an alliance with the international extreme right, to reposition its imperialist strategy in Asia (Palestine, Syria, Iraq), while promoting a new counterinsurgency plan for Latin America.
In its strategy it presents its enemy to be fought as a demon carrying the worst vices and defects of humanity, it is the old imperialist weapon to wage its wars. The United States has allocated huge amounts of resources and propaganda to this end, since the counterinsurgency wars of the 1960s, the first war on drugs in 1971, Plan Colombia in 1999 and the war on terrorism that began in 2001.
In almost 70 years promoting invasions, dictatorships, genocides and coups d’état in the region, they have not managed to reduce the demand and consumption of drugs in their society, which massively resorts to cocaine, heroin, fentanyl and other synthetic drugs, to escape from existence and its consequences that capitalism has shown and taught as a “Model of Non-Life”, today in complete decline.
The United States is not interested in its citizens, who die abandoned in the streets from overdoses. Its false anti-drug fight of more than 50 years, and the bombastic version of the operations against Mexico or the fleets that advance towards the Venezuelan Caribbean, are the usual excuses to guarantee control and domination over Latin America, which in the end synthesize the agony of its influence and supremacy over the region.
The great drug trafficking market is in the United States and European countries, who really profit from this business, are the ones who control these large massive markets. That is why the DEA, if it persists in the use of repression to combat this phenomenon, should focus its efforts on putting an end to this large market and to “dollar launderers”; but since it does not, it continues to accumulate failures by inventing culprits that do not exist.
Today we are witnessing the moment when the claws are shown, in a war of intimidation against the Venezuelan people, as well as for a few months against the Mexican people and government, reinforced by new and strong intelligence and surveillance strategies sponsored by international agencies, which often act from Colombia and the Colombian-Venezuelan border.
This war of intimidation resorts to delegitimization and discredit, wanting to falsely make the insurgency look not only as a drug trafficking cartel, in perfect coincidence with President Petro’s statements, but also inventing the existence of a drug trafficking cartel within the Venezuelan government.
The purposes: to intimidate, generate panic, pressure, a feeling of defeat, delegitimization, in the face of a society that condemns drug trafficking as one of the worst crimes against humanity. For what? To regain lost control in the region in the face of the strengthening of new international players such as Russia, China or Iran; to increase pressure and aggression against leftist governments and to diplomatically isolate those who refuse to obey the imperialist mandates of the United States.
Today in the world, drug trafficking is one of the main businesses of capitalism. If the United States had a true commitment to its eradication, it would be working on drug demand reduction, prevention and public health approaches, and the investigation and punishment of its officials and businessmen, who profit from drug trafficking and allow tons of cocaine to enter the United States. Or why doesn’t the DEA declare the Gulf Clan, responsible for the largest transnational drug trafficking from Colombia, a narco-terrorist organization? Why are we only falsely accused of being drug traffickers, the insurgency and leftist governments?
Today the great counterinsurgency war machine is once again directed towards the peoples of Latin America. It is not only towards the ELN or the government of Venezuela. This onslaught is aimed at bleeding the stakes of sovereignty and social and political transformation in our region, and therefore, generates rejection of the imperialist war in all its formats throughout Latin America. If aggression occurs, there is no other way but resistance.
Regarding the ELN’s relationship with drug trafficking, once again, we ratify our proposal and invitation to carry out a great conversation and investigation on the drug problem, with the accompaniment and commitment of the international community, in which the world can demonstrate with evidence our policy of demarcation with drug trafficking. The ELN has never been linked to drug trafficking, in the future all these lies will fall. That time will come.

Gentrification, Another Face of Dispossession
Comandante Antonio García
A large part of public opinion was astonished at the beginning of July when the first march against gentrification was convened and carried out in Mexico City, the astonishment is partly because the majority of the population had never heard such a term before, much less knew its meaning. although they are largely affected by this phenomenon.
With slogans such as: “Gringo go home”, “Here we speak Spanish”, “Dignified housing for Mexicans” or “Your comfort gentrifies, our struggle dignifies”, the demonstrators advanced towards the Paseo de la Reforma. This was a march called by the Lindbergh Forum of the Condesa neighborhood, one of the most affected by this social phenomenon. As they passed, the demonstrators expressed their rage, which they unleashed against commercial establishments and large financial capital with a presence in the city.
Gentrification refers to an urban process where traditionally popular neighborhoods experience the arrival of new inhabitants, most often from Europe or the United States with high purchasing power. This phenomenon is usually accompanied by investments in infrastructure, improvements in services, an increase in the value of properties and therefore an increase in the cost of living for residents. By formidably increasing the prices of housing, rents, services, food and transportation, among others, this causes the displacement of original families, who cannot afford the increase in rents and the general increase in the cost of living.
These displacements occur after a process of preparation, basically because when a territory has tourist attractions, or simply has some value for investment, it can be coveted by tourists who visit it or by investors to inhabit, rent or buy a property. To do this, they resort to financial strategies and pressures to get hold of most of the homes, with this they force residents to move to peripheral neighborhoods or to other cities or towns, thus generating and deepening all kinds of exclusion and social asymmetries. In general, the neighbourhoods in which the displaced settle are peripheral to urban centres and do not have basic public services or are not planned.
According to the opinion of experts on the subject, they warn that the phenomenon contributes to urban segmentation and inequality, which in Colombia is known as stratification. While privileged sectors have access to better services, availability and access to entertainment and leisure alternatives, others, the vulnerable and impoverished sectors see their possibilities of remaining in the area limited. Therefore, gentrification in the Mexican capital means a profound change both in the physical configuration and in the daily life of its inhabitants, uprooting, loss of cultural and social identity, and rupture in the social fabric of settlers who have historically inhabited a territory, have related to it and their fellow citizens and have built community from uses, ancestral customs and knowledge that has allowed them to adapt to the environment in which they live.
Gentrification goes hand in hand with the discourse of development, since under the promise of modernization of infrastructure, improvement in services, quality of life, the supply of housing aimed at international tourism and the proliferation of exclusive commercial spaces, an idea of collaborative economy is created, which has as its purpose the formation of a social economy, but in the end it ends up in for-profit business models, so for example digital platforms such as Airbnb are created.
This platform is in charge of acquiring properties at a lower price, modifying them and then renting them to users who mostly come from abroad, their rental is made according to the rates that the same platform determines and can be for days or months, which causes the rentier value to increase exorbitantly. This action has an impact on the displacement of tenants who used to rent an apartment for long stays in preference for tourists who stay by the night; as a result, a problem of housing shortage is caused for the historic inhabitants.
Neoliberal governments have strongly promoted this idea of business and the organization of cities tailored to the needs of capital reproduction, however, governments that call themselves progressive, as in the case of Colombia, have also been strongly encouraging tourism and the consolidation of rental platforms with the purpose of promoting tourism. which has caused serious impacts on entire communities in large cities and places of interest to these capitalists, in this sense, it is to be expected that indignation will grow and new scenarios of struggle will be incubated in our peoples by communities that resist being displaced from their territories because of the interests of big capital.
This phenomenon has many coincidences with the extractivist economy; a discourse that promises prosperity and wealth for all, legislative and land-use changes and finally produces displacement of local communities, to hand over the territories to international capital on a silver platter.

The Feat of Gaza – Antonio García
Antonio García, Primer Comandante of the ELN
Among all the barbarity imposed by those who want the world to live according to their own views and privileges, subject to their interests, barbarism that in many cases leads to armed conflicts, the barbarity suffered by the Palestinian people stands out above any other.
The figures speak for themselves. Since a year and a half ago, when the Israeli army invaded the Palestinian territory, without taking heed in its military offensive between armed combatants and the civilian population, 51,000 of their sons and daughters have been killed; more than 31,000 bodies lie under rubble, according to credible reports, and reports of missing people exceed 4,100 victims. To make matters worse, 345,000 people in Gaza are in phase 5 famine, which is equal to total starvation. A murder in dribs and drabs.
Israeli barbarity and terror that has no limits: it has repeatedly subjected the population of the invaded territory to move again and again, in the narrow territory they inhabit, carrying their few belongings, subjecting them to conditions of existence of extreme cruelty, without water, with barely a food ration per day, at most, without the right to enjoy any recreation or study for their children. living in tents, punished on several occasions by the bombardments of the invading army’s aviation, as well as by the incursions of its infantry that seeks, guided by drones and intelligence systems controlled by state-of-the-art software, with identification of voices and faces, the guerrillas of the Popular Front, Islamic Jihad, Democratic Front and Al Aqsa Brigades, and in the pursuit of which women and men, young people, the elderly and children are targeted. According to the counterinsurgency military doctrine, they are all guerrillas, some in arms, others without, some shoot, others are their eyes and ears.
In this military invasion, all human rights have been ignored, cornering a people whose territory has experienced a notable reduction year after year, their lands have become inhabited by armed settlers or permanently protected, by one of the best armed and barbarity trained armies.
It is a people who, in the face of the reality of violence, continuous aggression, disrespect and humiliation, do not renounce living according to their self-determination, and whose youth, full of hatred for the violence they suffer day by day, has no other option than to fight armed for freedom and respect. For them, invaded as they are, the way to evade the enemy is through tunnels, building in fact an underground city, through which they manage to evade the espionage and constant control that the invaders intend to make of their movements.
To try to get them out of these invisible trenches, the enemy uses bombs of up to 1,000 kilos, discharging several at the same time that they can collapse concrete constructions, at depth, of up to seven floors. The magnitude of what has been built reveals the immense effort made by thousands of people, to be able to raise and fortify their defenses, aware of the power of the enemy they face.
It is an enemy that does not contain itself before any rule, humanitarian principle or law, and by trying to capture, dead or alive, the guerrillas who oppose them, not only destroy the fortifications of sovereignty, but also devastate all homes and urban infrastructure, killing and wounding dozens of people in each attack.
There are air strikes and advanced infantry attacks in which it is becoming clear that the use of robotic and guided weapons is already the norm. There, the struggle of humans against remotely controlled machines is a daily occurrence, by systems engineers who do not risk their lives and destroy those of tens of thousands. A daily invasion and attack carried out, moreover, with the constant support of the United States army, which provides them with all kinds of weapons and supports them in intelligence by providing them with all the information collected, by their satellites directed over that territory, as well as the accompaniment and advice of several of the largest software multinationals registered in that country and that provide them with everything they require in this area.
Yet, with thousands of soldiers on the ground, with hundreds of armored tanks roaming the streets of Gaza and surrounding cities, with dozens of aircraft conducting combat intelligence or bombing entire neighborhoods, with the possibility of renewing its troops whenever it deems necessary, the invading army has not been able to defeat a few thousand guerrillas determined to fight for the freedom of their people. for their dignity, for respect for their territory and the right to be sovereign.
In their effort, which involves absolute mobility, the implementation of an armored communication system against eavesdropping, with the maximum use of surprise, as well as the use of all kinds of traps, which hinder enemy mobility and cause casualties that demoralize them, the guerrillas of the Palestinian resistance are teaching a lesson to the peoples of the world, teaching day by day that an army inferior in units and logistics, as Vietnam once did, can contain its opponent, resist and win.
The events summarized here clearly indicate, despite what is commonly said, that the right to rebellion is as valid as it was the norm decades ago, when the decolonization of the world advanced by leaps and bounds. New forms of colonialism take shape and, as a reaction, new and dynamic expressions of resistance are expressed and shown.
As a lesson for all the peoples of the world, we also have that the reality experienced today in Palestinian territory allows us to glimpse the first of the latest generation urban wars, one in which human beings confront machines, a remote-controlled war, with hundreds of drones in constant action, armored combat systems of all kinds, satellites monitoring the lives of thousands every second, and underground corridors, a new type of trenches, built with the use of engineering and the conscious arms of thousands of people.
A feat that can only be achieved through social leadership, as well as recognition among the people. Something already explicit when the representatives of the Palestinian resistance were elected eighteen years ago, by popular vote to direct the destiny of Gaza.
Politics, popular participation, legitimacy, a triad that gives way to leadership and effective armed defense.
Che had already taught it: nothing without the people, everything is possible with the people.

Antonio García on the Role of USAID in US Imperialism
By: Antonio García, Primer Comandante of ELN
U.S. Congressman Scott Perry in his X account had already been denouncing what now jumps out again among an endless number of scandals: “USAID financed Boko Haram, Al Qaeda with more than 697 million dollars (…) It financed the training camps for these terrorists. In Afghanistan and Pakistan it also financed terrorism with false programs.”
A strong and controversial denunciation made in previous years, now, in 2025, regains strength in the midst of the total change in US international policy, under the Trump administration.
At the beginning of February of this year, the new occupant of the White House, among many decisions he has made in his first month in office, made the radical decision of closing the Agency for International Development and Cooperation -USAID-.
He vehemently stated that much of the funds of this Agency have been used fraudulently, without a beneficial return for the United States.
This entity was created in 1961 and became a mechanism that, under the protection of “international aid”, had already been translated into a perfect mechanism of political interference in various countries, the objective was none other than to achieve the objectives and interests of the United States in the regions considered strategic for the northern country.
There are many cases that account for and ratify this statement, the case of the coup d’état and installation of a dictatorship in Chile, overthrowing the elected President Salvador Allende, more recent and under a similar logic stand out cases such as the support and promotion of the failed coup d’état against the then president of Venezuela Hugo Chávez in 2002, support and interference that extended to 2006, 2009 and later.
It is worth remembering that these actions of interference have been repeated throughout the region, just to refer to cases from the continent, they motivated the expulsion of USAID from Bolivia for supporting the opposition in the growing destabilization of the government of the time (2013), the same thing was done at the time by the then president of Ecuador Rafael Correa in expelling this agency from his country (2014).
In Cuba, for example, USAID financed destabilization actions through the use of social networks, the case called ZunZuneo. The list of actions is long and the denunciations profound.
Perhaps one of the acts of greatest interference has been to support and guide training processes aimed at public servants, judges, prosecutors, social organizations, but above all the media.
Almost 500 million dollars were allocated through the NGO Internews Network (IN) influencing a wide network of media, thus consolidating narratives related to the interests of the United States, that is, it ended up financing a wide network of manipulation and propaganda.
This extensive mechanism of manipulation has proven to be very effective in attacking and destabilizing governments not aligned with U.S. interests, generating a matrix of disinformation, a series of baseless accusations, but credibly edited to encourage hatred, as was the case of the proceeding against President Zelaya of Honduras, Fernando Lugo of Paraguay, Dilma Rousseff in Brazil, attacking everything that opposes its interests.
It has even been revealed how USAID has been key to activating destabilization processes against the government of Venezuela, with the participation of legal and illegal actors, media matrices from Colombia, as was done during the government of Iván Duque, when the network of destabilizing actions and deep corruption was conceived.
Now, this flood of information that comes to light, some open secrets, others unpublished data, does not imply anything satisfactory in the medium term, it is only the change of a foreign policy focused on threats, coercion, extortion and that rewards indignity and submission. Let this be clear to us.
However, this large amount of information is of great value to us.
Colombia is among the countries with the greatest “unconditional support” from this defunct agency, resources that were allocated, among others, to the implementation of the 2016 peace agreement, support for investigations and work of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), support for the issue of land, border, projects in strategic regions, etc.
It is good to keep in mind the reports presented to the Truth Commission in 2020, one in particular entitled: “From the beginning to the end. The United States in the Colombian Armed Conflict.” It leaves us with the question after reading it, because the one who has been the promoter of the war in Colombia since long ago, now serves as a “disinterested” promoter of Peace.
We cannot pass by and we are obliged to look carefully at the recipients of “hot money” from the “master of the North”, NGOs and some social organizations and even institutions of the current government, which regret Trump’s decision. They think that people swallow the “toad” that these monies come with well-intentioned purposes.

The Colonial Legacy Is Perpetuated – Antonio García
By: Antonio García, Primer Comandante of the ELN
The international financial system alone transfers 30 million US dollars every hour from the countries of the South to the richest 1 percent in the global North.
Every year OXFAM generates a report for the summit of the richest, in Davos. This year was no exception.
Report after Report shows a timeline that shows how progress has been made in the construction of a world system in favor of the super-rich, accentuating inequalities and specifically the immoral accumulation of wealth.
Three thousand six hundred million human beings today live below the poverty line, that is, they live on less than 6.86 dollars a day, on the other hand the one thousand millionaires increased their wealth by almost 100 million dollars a day.
Now, how is this accumulated wealth generated?
The mass media owned by these same elites, sell the idea that these billionaires have earned that place with effort, hard work and discipline, sell their image and history as the new “saints” of the market god.
The truth is that the elites have benefited profoundly from extractivism in the global south (minerals, industrial agriculture, timber, etc.) thanks to policies that favor the exploitation of resources, accumulation and land grabbing at the expense of the present and future of the communities.
The adaptation of the normative and political infrastructure of states, their norms and institutions, thanks to the capture of democracy and now the capture of the state apparatus by these elites, facilitates and institutionalizes the transit of these resources to the global North, further enriching themselves by controlling the supply chain themselves.
International entities such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund are there to facilitate this extractive logic throughout the global South, as well as to promote the agile transit of these resources to the elites of the global North.
Extreme poverty, lack of access to economic opportunities, extreme concentration of wealth, reveal a systematic pattern of wealth accumulation, which is based on deep-rooted structures of inequality and on both economic and social exploitation, perpetuated throughout history.
Precarious working conditions, low wages, access to privatized basic services, with high costs, etc., an entire system that perpetuates inequality, sustained impoverishment and open injustice.
The number of people living in poverty and extreme poverty has hardly changed since 1990.
How was this possible?
State structures sustain an extractive colonial legacy, a system that favors elites and facilitates the extraction of wealth from the global South to the North.
The growing power in the hands of monopolistic companies has allowed the control of markets under the logic of real mafias, a de facto criminal order. Thus, these companies control markets, set prices, condition labor rules, and also condition the electoral system, generating an open capture of democracy.
Global and local tax structures have prevented fair taxation, the growing financialization of the economy has promoted privatization and has generated an environment where the interests of sectors of great economic power are prioritized.
These powerful economic elites have managed to structure the institutions and norms of the State to favor their interests, clientelism has been established as a “normalized” phenomenon, as well as illegal corruption, but also legal corruption such as political lobbies, campaign financing, among other ways that twist the gear in their favor.
This system of injustices is perpetuated, the concentration of wealth resulting from hyper-exploitation does not stop, which now with fascist governments are a “normalized” reality.
There is an urgent need to change this system, to break this sustained evil, this context of perpetuated injustices that result from colonial logics, dynamics and relations, of domination and subordination. This is an unsustainable, irrational reality, of open injustice, it is a hopeless reality.
Thus, a person who is born into an impoverished family, in this context, could get out of that situation, if the conditions are favorable, in 290 years.
This reality ratifies without a doubt, the right and duty of peoples to rebellion.

Colombia, ELN and UN Hypocrisy
By: Antonio García, First Comandante of the ELN
On January 22, the UN condemned the violence unleashed in El Catatumbo, reproducing the biased version that blames the ELN for the entire conflict, despite the fact that there are at least two parties involved: the ELN and the so-called 33rd Front of the extinct FARC. In reality, there are many more actors involved, given that the 33rd Front collaborates with – and is protected by – the National Army, which receives its orders from the Pentagon and the US intelligence services.
A few days earlier, on January 13, the same UN, through its Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, asked the Colombian government and the ELN to restore the bilateral ceasefire, which has been suspended since August 2024.
“I call on the parties to establish a new ceasefire as soon as possible, with a robust monitoring and verification mechanism and a sufficiently broad scope to improve the security of conflict-affected communities,” Guterres said.
We are talking about the same UN that has done nothing to pressure Israel to stop the 15-month campaign of genocide and war of extermination of the Palestinian people. Within the same UN, a ceasefire was vetoed four times in the Security Council. The UN that had nothing to do with the current ceasefire, between the Zionist entity and the Palestinian resistance. That did not lift a finger when the Zionists bombed civilian buildings in Lebanon for more than 50 days, or when they tried to occupy the south of the country.
In 1999, NATO dropped 27,000 tons of bombs and missiles over 78 days to “liberate Yugoslavia.” In the face of that massacre, the UN maintained a complicit silence, endorsing the “humanitarian intervention” of the then government of Bill Clinton.
The UN that approved the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and the invasion of Iraq in 2003, which left more than a million civilians dead, with a toll of one million dead for each war. The UN that approved the invasion and bombing of Libya in 2011, which destroyed the state forever, leaving it in the hands of warlords, all at the service of the interests of the Collective West.
The UN protests against Russia’s military alliance with North Korea, but remains silent in the face of Kiev’s military alliance with the United States and all of NATO, with the massive transfer of money and weapons for the war against Russia.
It is silent in the face of the policy of encirclement, attacks, sanctions, blockade, freezing and theft of Russian assets that exceed 300 billion dollars.
The UN has said nothing related to the 800 US bases of which a significant percentage surround Russia, ranging from the Baltic countries to Turkey, through Africa, Asia and Latin America; bases that in West Asia have served to support the aggressions against Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The Security Council witnessed yet another dark page in which the United States used the veto arbitrarily and shamefully, and for the fourth time in a row, since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza more than four months ago.
The League of Nations, the prototype of the UN, founded in 1920 after World War I, was never able to prevent the rise of Nazism and prevent World War II. There is a reason why former U.S. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge once characterized the League of Nations as “a diabolical creation with an angelic name.”
After that war, the League of Nations temporarily disappeared, re-emerging again in 1946 as the United Nations (UN) with headquarters in New York and thus became an unconditional ally and subordinate of North America, endorsing with its silence or consent the invasions of the United States to Panama (1918, 1920, 1925, 1958, 1989), Cuba (1917-1933), Dominican Republic (1965-1966), Cuba (1917-1933), Honduras (1919, 1924-1925), Philippines (1948, 1924-1925), Russia (1918-1922), Yugoslavia (1999), Guatemala (1920, 1954, 1966-1967), El Salvador (1932), Iran (1946, 1954), Greece (1946-1947), Vietnam (1960-1975), Egypt (1956), Lebanon (1958, 1982-1984), Laos (1962, 1971-1973), Cambodia (1969-1975), Grenada (1983-1984), Somalia (1992-1994), Afghanistan (2002-2021), Iraq (1958, 1990, 2003-continues to this day).
The League of Nations was the materialization of the international order imposed on the victors of World War I: the old European empires. At the same time, the UN represents the international order because of the victor of World War II: the American empire, which sealed its victory by dropping two atomic bombs on Japan. The law of the victor, and never that of the vanquished.
The liberal global institutionality, which emerged after the Second World War, has become completely innocuous and has entered into absolute bankruptcy.
The recent history of Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, West Asia, and Eastern Europe testifies that only resistance — and not pacts with outdated institutions — is capable of creating changes in the global order. In a world dominated by power, weakness invites exploitation; The capacity for resistance is the only language that the powerful and their institutions understand. Resistance is not simply an option, it is a necessity, a guarantee of survival.
The lies of the media matrix will be defeated by the truth. In the future, the truth awaits us all.

ELN Comandante Antonio García: The Reengineering of Colonialism
In December, which has just passed, the U.S. Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act for 2025 (FY25 NDAA).
Not only does it establish a framework for military spending and national defense, but it also reveals the real intentions of the northern country in the world and the region, generating profound direct implications for Our America.
What does this Law contain?
The FY25 NDAA Act authorizes perhaps the highest budget in this country’s history, totaling $843 billion, with a focus on modernizing military capabilities, research, and technological development; of course, for the war and subjugation of peoples.
Of note, the creation of a hybrid architecture that links satellite ground stations with the private and commercial sector, that is, private technology and commercial communications companies, with a technological framework at the service of the Department of Defense, in this same logic the implementation of a space control strategy is projected.
In the same direction is a policy on artificial intelligence (AI) and nuclear weapons. It is worth saying that the use of AI in the planning and execution of military strategies of population control and mass destruction is already being experimented, as in the case of the Genocide against the Palestinian people and in Ukraine.
This hybridization between the public and the private in matters of defense and security will undoubtedly bring difficulties for people, NGOs, organizations, progressive governments, defense and guarantee of rights, persecution, segregation, stigmatization, criminalization, etc.
This Law includes a strong component of missile defence and nuclear modernisation, which means the intensification of the arms race, with the clear purpose of increasing tensions in an already fragile context.
International agreements to control the increase and rise of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction are gradually fading, while the international order is collapsing along with the organizations in charge of sustaining peace, justice and human rights, of peoples and the environment.
Progress is being made towards control through an underhanded state of global war, reaffirming the so-called interoperability, which is nothing more than arming the war with public resources, weapons and men from the “allied countries”, a re-engineering of colonialism.
Continue to provide resources to NATO, allied countries in Europe and strengthen the military presence in the Asia-Pacific region.
This logic will generate greater regional tensions, to which is added the change of leadership of the “office for the management of North American affairs in the region”: the OAS.
The Law reflects a focus on geopolitical competition focused on “stopping” the advance of China, Russia, adding Iran, North Korea, the best excuse to advance in the militarist trend that, in the end, turns out to be a desperate formula not to lose its hegemony in the face of the advance of a new global order.
One aspect that seems to go unnoticed is its environmental component, as it includes provisions to promote practices that claim to reduce the environmental impact of military operations; however, it is this militarization that entails the control of strategic areas, for the extraction of natural resources, generating enormous environmental impact and displacement of native communities, increasing the risk and threat to the environment and the rights of the peoples.
This constant and acute militarization projected for 2025, present in this Law, translates into intervention in the internal affairs of Latin American countries “allied and non-allied”, which will undoubtedly further impact communities, which already face significant challenges such as poverty, violence, social exclusion
Not to mention the construction of a territorial peace with real transformations.
This law makes clear the objective, to undermine sovereignty under colonial logic, in a context characterized by the emergence of a new multipolar order and the weakening of U.S. global hegemony.
This is how Biden leaves and Trump resumes.

ELN Comandante Antonio García: Territorial Fragmentation, Imperial Policy
Speaking of world geopolitics, Venezuela is a nexus in which historical forces, oil policy and competitiveness between great powers converge intensely. If we take the Latin American context, we see a regional battle with profound implications for the international order.
At the center of this geopolitical turbulence are Venezuela’s vast oil reserves, the largest in the world. Let us remember that these lands were the domain of Exxon-Mobil, the former territory of the Rockefellers. If we add the historical context of corporate influence since the beginning of the twentieth century, and the current presence of the Southern Command in the territory, it is the result of the planned ambition for the control of strategic resources.
A situation that becomes more controversial as the world witnesses a Western push towards green energy; however, it is no coincidence that Tesla is losing ground to Chinese manufacturers, which are overtaking the United States in electric vehicle production.
China’s dominance in solar and wind energy technologies already exceeds European and U.S. capabilities, forcing a reevaluation of the energy strategies of Western capitals.
From this perspective, the potential “Syrianization” of Venezuela, proposed as a media campaign promoted by Venezuelan extremists from abroad, seeks, by violent means, scenarios that lead to the fragmentation of the Venezuelan State for its subsequent looting.
Venezuela’s other strategic importance, beyond its oil reserves, is the country’s position to control the Caribbean in its entirety, especially amid disputes over traditional and renewable energy sources, but also over hegemonic control over transoceanic commercial arteries.
It is worth highlighting what Donald Trump recently said: he referred to the transfer of the Panama Canal under the Carter administration, showing what the hemispheric policy of the United States really is.
The U.S. president lamented the “loss” of the Canal and pointed to China for alleged control of the Canal today, reflecting more anxiety about the loss of hegemonic influence. This narrative is part of a pattern also used against Cuba and Venezuela. The claim to “recover” control of the Canal reveals the persistence of a colonial mentality, which ignores the self-determination of the Latin American peoples.
Although Washington’s influence extends deeply to Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, and several other nations in the region, the fundamental challenge to popular forces lies in their ability to resist and prevent Our America from following the tragic path that has devastated the Middle East.
Therefore, the fate of Venezuela, intertwined with the struggle for Latin American autonomy, becomes a key battlefield, where the future of regional sovereignty will be determined.
The way forward requires not only resistance to external pressures, but the active construction of alternative power structures based on popular organization and regional solidarity. Only through this unified action can the region avoid the fragmentation and conflict that have plagued other resource-rich regions of the Global South.

Domination under the Costume: ELN’s Antonio García on US Imperialism in Latin America
The United States builds an elaborate system of control over Latin America, using apparently neutral but deeply manipulative instruments. While they talk about regional stability, they seek to “neutralize” any movement that challenges the neoliberal status quo.
U.S. military strategy constantly requires constructing threatening narratives. They need to show Colombia as a territory plagued by “Marxist terrorists,” Venezuela a supposed source of regional destabilization, and Cuba the paradigm of oppression. These narratives are not geopolitical analyses, but propaganda instruments designed to justify intervention. There are those who, oscillating in the center, follow the game.
The Southern Command, under the leadership of Laura Richardson, militarized foreign relations with high precision by announcing “the common defense of hemispheric sovereignty.” It is not only a matter of military presence, but of a network that involves civilian and diplomatic agencies and social organizations. We know that USAID and the State Department invest huge amounts of resources in community projects, but every dollar is strategically calculated to generate influence, which reverts to greater dependency.
Thus, the so-called “military missions” presented as humanitarian aid or the fight against drug trafficking, are in reality geopolitical infiltration devices. Dismantling drug trafficking networks is just the smokescreen for reorganizing local control systems, aligning them with U.S. interests.
We remember Laura Richardson’s speech at the Atlantic Council in 2023, on the “Lithium triangle” where she exposed, without mincing words, the true interests in the entire region: “we need the resources, especially those critical for the global energy transition”.
They have turned the idea of “transnational threats” into an instrument of geopolitical control. Any movement that challenges American hegemony is immediately stigmatized. While they launch their rhetoric against the so-called “populist left” on the continent, they are quietly working on the construction of paramilitary “proxies” that guarantee their interests.
The sophistication of this system at various scales can be seen, not only in Colombia, but also in the Southern Cone and Central America. It is no longer a question of open invasions, but of a molecular, capillary intervention that penetrates the social and political fabrics of each country. Eighteen intelligence agencies work in coordination to identify, map, and “neutralize” any deemed enemy.
It is a system of domination that operates under the guise of representative democracy and regional security. Obviously, Our America is not considered a territory, but a geopolitical battlefield where every social project, every political movement, every community initiative is being permanently observed, evaluated and potentially “neutralized.”
Therefore, the libertarian future of our peoples lies in the ability to weave continental unity. Two hundred years after Ayacucho, the struggle remains the same: to build a society based on principles of equality, where every experience and knowledge is valued.
The U.S. empire can deploy all its agencies, it can manipulate all international organizations, but it will not be able to destroy the hope of a genuinely emancipatory continental project.
Resistance, while being confrontational, is also an act of creating unity and hope. And in that collective creation lies our true possibility of liberation.

«Vocación» por los negocios
Por: Antonio García, Primer Comandante del ELN
El 23 de noviembre, el diario El Tiempo, se refiere a los negocios en que se mueve, como pez en el agua, Álvaro Jiménez; «trabajo» que le ha permitido pasar como un «adalid de la paz», qué chistosa esta historia.
Lo curioso es que El Tiempo lo haga público, luego haberse anunciado en mi cuenta X, hace más de 5 meses....
