Exposing Residente and his attacks on anti-imperialist governments in Latin America. During today's episode, we react to his new song, "This Is Not America," and discuss how it perpetuates imperialist propaganda. We also talk about Residente's support for U.S.-backed violence in Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba. Lastly, we discuss how imperialist media highjack "left" aesthetics and music to attack genuine revolutionary movements. Today's guests are Yhamir Chabur, Monisha Ríos, Comrade Libre, and Pedro X. Yhamir is a Colombian activist based in New York City. He is the host of The Bolivarian Flame. Monisha is a Puerto Rican psychologist, social worker, and anti-imperialist veteran of the U.S. Army. Since 2013, she has been investigating the American Psychological Association's 104-year role in the weaponization and militarization of psychology in service to imperialism. Monisha works to expose the psychological warfare component of U.S.-led hybrid warfare, with a special focus on the narratives used to destabilize peoples' movements toward liberation from capitalist-imperialist oppression in Latin America and the Caribbean. Comrade Libre is an Afro-Boricua poet, organizer, and communist based out of Miami, Florida, whose organizing involves moving theory into practice. As a member of the Troika Kollective, they organize in their communities; and as internationalists, they build with movements in the Global South and across Turtle Island. Pedro X is a Boricua nationalist in the diaspora who is involved in the struggle for Puerto Rican independence. Unmasking Imperialism exposes imperialist propaganda in mainstream media. Hosted by Ramiro Sebastián Fúnez.
