In the early hours of Tuesday, 3 November, the Central Bank of Paraguay (BCP) initiated a "resolution procedure" against Ueno Bank after its solvency ratio collapsed to 5.56 percent, less than half the regulatory minimum of 12 percent. The bank's app, cards and transfers went dark overnight, locking out 2.9 million customers in a country of 6.1 million people.

Within days, eight senior executives had been arrested, the president of the Central Bank had resigned, and the president of the republic, Santiago Peña, had announced his own departure in a crisis that is still claiming heads, after three consecutive nights of mass protests outside Congress.

Congress rejected Peña's resignation on Thursday, since accepting it would have made him a senator for life with immunity from prosecution, and the Chamber of Deputies voted 78-0 to impeach him. On Friday, the Senate rejected his request for a 72-hour extension to prepare his defense and ordered him to appear within half an hour. The same day, his chief of staff, Javier Giménez, his legal adviser, Roberto Moreno, and his interior minister, Enrique Riera, resigned.

Peña's is the first government of Trump's Shield of the Americas to fall. It comes two weeks after the defeat of Trump's candidate, Flávio Bolsonaro, in Brazil and three days after the massive repudiation of the Republicans in the US midterm elections. It exposes the brittleness of the regimes making up the far-right alliance established by Washington to police the hemisphere, most of them deeply unpopular and facing recession and protests.

The authorities and the financial press have worked in unison to insist that Ueno was an aberration. "Authorities say the crisis is limited to Ueno and does not reflect broader weaknesses in Paraguay's banking system," Reuters reported.

In fact, the collapse of a major bank, underwritten on Wall Street by JPMorgan and Bank of America, is a warning of the fragility of the so-called emerging markets. They are being squeezed by record debt, US interest rates near two-decade highs and inflation driven by war and tariffs.

The rush to open accounts elsewhere crashed other banks' apps, as the Paraguayan guaraní lost 8.8 percent against the US dollar throughout the week and country risk rose 23 percent.

The scale of the disaster is difficult to overstate. Ueno held approximately $850 million in public funds, including some $380 million belonging to the Social Security InstituPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Maduro activates Bolivarian National Militia in response to US “threats”, vowing to defend the country’s sovereignty and independence.
President Nicolás Maduro announced on Monday, August 18, that he is activating “over 4.5 million militia members across the entire national territory” of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in response to the US deployment of three Navy guided-missile destroyers and 4,000 military personnel to the Caribbean. The White House has described the deployment as an anti-drug trafficking operation in the region, while some analysts have called it a new threat against Venezuela – the country with the largest oil reserves in the world.

The US military deployment comes after Washington raised its bounty on the Venezuelan president from USD 25 million to USD 50 million, alleging links to drug cartels.

The “extravagant, bizarre, and outlandish threats” of the United States have been firmly rejected by the Venezuelan government.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Yván Gil described the accusations as a sign of desperation, revealing Washington’s “lack of credibility and the failure of its policies in the region”. He also pointed out that Venezuela has made major gains against drug trafficking after expelling the United States’ Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) – who many Venezuelans call “the planet’s chief drug traffickers” – from the country in 2005.

No US agency or international body has produced concrete evidence of drug production and distribution being concentrated in Venezuela or linked to Maduro. In fact, available global drug data makes almost no mention of the Caribbean nation or the alleged “Cartel of Suns” at all. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the epicenter of activity is in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, with the US identified as the main destination for distribution, recording the highest level of drug consumption in the world.

UNODC data reports that only 5% of Colombian drugs transit through Venezuela, and that the country is free of coca leaf cultivation, and marijuana and cocaine processing. The Trump administration, on the other hand, has maintained its position that the Venezuelan government is a “narco-terror cartel”.

Thread for news, books, info, etc. about Cuba.

Former Peruvian President and dictator Alberto Fujimori, whose Plan Verde implemented mass forced sterilization of indigenous Peruvians in a US-backed ethnic cleansing campaign, and who was removed from office for corruption and crimes against humanity, and who was eventually imprisoned… had a daughter named Keiko Fujimori, who recently was elected to be President of Peru with US backing and by an overwhelming margin of votes cast from Miami by "Peruvians" who don't actually live in Peru.

Things are not going great for Keiko Fujimori in the polls in Peru, and here's an excerpt from an article about it:

President Keiko Fujimori's popularity plunged in October as Peruvians expressed deeper concerns about the economy and crime, while also looking askance at closer ties to Donald Trump and the US.

Fujimori's approval rating fell to 28.3% in early October, down 14.5 points from a month prior, according to LatAm Pulse, a survey conducted by AtlasIntel for Bloomberg News and published Wednesday. Disapproval rose to 53.6%, up about 13 points, the poll found.

The content of the character of an American is the content of his activity in service to the liberation of Chagos, i.e anti-Americanism.

All American - white, black, asian, indian, native, gay, trans etc - is guilty until innocence is proven in act.

It is wrong to think that the victim of imperialism must die in a futile, romantic attempt to draw blood from the American baboon.

The responsibility of dying lies on the American leftist, who always has words of a comrade but actions of a satrap.

Bukele sends thousands of Salvadoran troops to Haiti with US, Colombian and Dominican support

Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele has begun sending more than 2,000 troops, along with helicopters and armored vehicles, into Haiti. According to an Axios report published Thursday, he did so after a phone call on Tuesday in which President Donald Trump told him: "Do what you have to do." Sources told Axios that the number could "double or triple."

The pretext is the fate of four Salvadoran aviation technicians in the UN-authorized Gang Suppression Force (GSF). They disappeared on October 18 after gunmen attacked their armored vehicle in Santo, in Croix-des-Bouquets, 12 kilometers from Port-au-Prince. Bukele has threatened that the attack "is nothing compared to what is coming."

On Thursday, writing in Haitian Creole, he declared: "We didn't come to Haiti to make money, because no one is paying us to do it. We came to Haiti to fight against the wicked."

Axios reports that the Salvadoran force "appears to be operating parallel to the GSF" and to Vectus Global, the private army of Blackwater founder Erik Prince. It describes Haiti as "a test case for Bukele and… Prince to act as public-private proxies for U.S. muscle in the hemisphere."

Washington has tried to keep out of sight. Secretary of State Marco Rubio "wants to keep Haiti off the radar," a source told Axios, and Bukele's request for US drones and transport planes was "officially denied." Colombia, the source added, "may act as an unofficial go-between" so there are "no U.S. fingerprints on the mission."

The fingerprints are there all the same. The first Salvadoran reinforcements landed in Port-au-Prince on October 23 aboard a US military C-130 that, according to the Miami Herald, was "provided by the Pentagon at the request of the U.S. State Department."

On October 27, the day of the Trump call, a Colombian Air Force C-130H Hercules, tail number FAC1005, flew Salvadoran troops and equipment from San Salvador to Port-au-Prince, according to flight-tracking data and press reports.

The Dominican Republic has become the operation's rear base. On October 24, two days before he opened the conference of the Coalition of the Americas Against Cartels (A3C), President Luis Abinader said he had spoken with Bukele to coordinate logistical and intelligence support.

Polacks come here and explain to us this happening.

Who are we rooting for? Will this lead to a civil war? How is sausage production affected?

Out of paranoia and dementia, could Trump have ordered this plane shot down? Usually only richfags fly on private jets. If Trump blew up someone important this could actually come back to bite him in the ass.

Hell no. It's time to burn it all down. This is absolutely so rage inducing.

"We, the workers in the ports, know very well that without us nothing moves. Without our hands, containers remain still, ships are not loaded, the war machines are blocked."

Dockworkers in more than 20 countries-from France to India to Greece-are withholding their labor on Friday to demand an end to Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza and highlight the role that commercial ports play in fueling deadly militarism worldwide.

Organizers said the work stoppages, led by dockworkers' unions at 113 ports across 22 countries, would be the "largest coordinated port action ever," easily surpassing the international day of action held in February. No Harbour for Genocide, a collective of trade unions and others supporting the day of action, said $2.8 billion worth of cargo will be halted at Mediterranean ports, where workers are planning to strike for 24 hours.

"A cargo refused in one port sails on to the next," said No Harbour for Genocide. "Refused in every port, it stops, and the workers have enforced the embargo that governments announced and did not."

In a joint statement last month announcing the day of action, dockworkers' unions from Türkiye, Morocco, Italy, France, Greece, Italy, and Basque Country laid out their demands:

1. An immediate end to the genocide of the Palestinian people and the opening of safe corridor for humanitarian aid.. An end of colonization, occupation and apartheid imposed to Palestinian People and the recognition of an independent Palestinian state recognized by the international community on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
2. An end to the war in the Middle East. No support, no facilitation, no participation in the US-Israeli war against Iran, Lebanon or any other imperialist intervention. Military fleets and bases out of the region. We express our full solidarity to the people of Cuba and Venezuela and Sudan menaced by US imperialism and we call for defend people's sovereignty, resources, territorial integrity, peace with justice, and the right for resistance for self-determination.
3. Ports must not be used for the transport of weapons, ammunition, military equipment and troops. We call on unions to strengthen vigilance, to inform workers, to expose the cargoes of war, and to organize mass collective resistance with all our rightful available means and our struggle.
4. An end to the militarization of ports and critical infrastructure. Ports belong to the peoplePost too long. Click here to view the full text.
