This week we are again taking a break from our historical excavations for an intervention into current events. Our venal overlords and their propaganda apparatus wants you illiterate. They want you to be cognitively unable to think about multiple facets of American imperialism at once, unable to make connections between world events, and ultimately unable to do anything to stop, punish, or prevent their continuous crimes against humanity.

This week we are again taking a break from our historical excavations for an intervention into current events. Our venal overlords and their propaganda apparatus wants you illiterate. They want you to be cognitively unable to think about multiple facets of American imperialism at once, unable to make connections between world events, and ultimately unable to do anything to stop, punish, or prevent their continuous crimes against humanity. But Fourth Reich Archaeology seeks to be your antidote to their mind poison, so this week we’re going on a hemispheric world tour to take stock of what we and other comrades have been calling “Operation Condor 2.0” - the American (and Israeli) project to squash any signs of popular sovereignty, democratic self-government, or economic independence in “America’s back yard.”
We begin our discussion in Cuba, where the U.S. has been seeking to overthrow the revolutionary government ever since it won power under the leadership of Fidel Castro over 65 years ago. Under the corrupt imperialistic worm-infested regime of President Donald Trump, the U.S.’s war against the Cuban people has ramped up exponentially. The fully prone propagandist media is now peddling lies reminiscent of the type of false flags contemplated by Operation Northwoods, which President JFK rejected way back in the early 60s. We cover the absurd “Cuban drones” scare, as well as the outrageous indictment leveled against the 94-year-old Raul Castro for the crime of defending Cuban sovereignty from CIA-backed terrorists. Trump’s government of sickos is likely going to murder, torture, and humiliate the revolutionary icon to provoke a pretext for more violence against the Cuban people. More than ever, we need to speak out in solidarity.
We then move down South America way to discuss the tragic capitulation of the remnants of the Bolivarian revolution in Venezuela to the U.S. empire, as well as the Bolivian people’s struggle against right-wing austerity and the imperial plot to murder former indigenous President Evo Morales. Then it’s up to central america, specifically Honduras, where leaked audio–largely suppressed in the U.S. media–shows the country’s rightwing political elite openly conspiring to enrich American multinational corporations to return Donald Trump’s favor of tipping the country’s elections to the far right and freeing narco-ex-president Juan Orlando Hernandez. The recordings also discuss manipulating the media on an international scale to weaponize information against “left” governments like those in power in Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia.
Behind all of this neocolonial maneuvering is the same old cast of characters. The powers behind the throne. Peter Thiel and the tech-mafia are actively pulling strings to immiserate the people of latin america, enslave them in “special economic development zones,” and destroy their natural environment through the unregulated expansion of extractive and polluting industries, including data centers.
This is a pretty bleak episode for the bleak times we’re living in. We can’t wait for 2028 - no presidential election will solve the crisis the fascist ruling class is imposing on the entire world. We need solidarity, we need knowledge, and we need action. And fast.
