Noam Chomsky: Members of Migrant Caravan Are Fleeing from Misery & Horrors Created by the U.S.
As President Trump escalated his attacks and threats against the Central American migrant caravans making their way to the U.S.-Mexico border, the Trump administration unveiled new sanctions against Venezuela and Cuba on Thursday. National security adviser John Bolton declared Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua to be part of a “troika of tyranny” and a “triangle of terror.” We speak with world-renowned professor, linguist and dissident Noam Chomsky about U.S. foreign policy in Central America. He joins us in Tucson, Arizona, where he now teaches at the University of Arizona. Chomsky is also institute professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he has taught for 50 years.
AMY GOODMAN: As President Trump escalates his attacks and threats against the Central American migrant caravans making their way to the U.S.-Mexico border, the Trump administration unveiled new sanctions against Venezuela and Cuba Thursday. National security adviser John Bolton declared Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua to be part of a “troika of tyranny” and a “triangle of terror.” Bolton was speaking in Miami, Florida.
JOHN BOLTON: We will no longer appease dictators and despots near our shores. We will not reward firing squads, torturers and murderers. We will champion the independence and liberty of our neighbors. And this president and his entire administration will stand with the freedom fighters. The troika of tyranny in this hemisphere—Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua—has finally met its match.

(Español) México pendiendo entre la legitimidad, la legalidad y la guerra
(Texto enviado a quienes integran la LXIV Legislatura en la Cámara de Diputados)
El jueves 16 de noviembre la Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación (SCJN) declaró inconstitucional la Ley de Seguridad Interior por amplia mayoría. Al mismo tiempo la bancada de MORENA anunció que iniciará la semana próxima la discusión de una iniciativa de reforma constitucional para establecer el marco legal que permita la conformación de una Guardia Nacional bajo el mando de las Fuerzas Armadas (FFAA) con tareas de seguridad pública e investigación de delitos.
Como se ha sostenido por diferentes organizaciones y especialistas durante los últimos doce años y como lo confirmó la SCJN, el uso de cuerpos militares usados en tareas de seguridad pública no es adecuado, pues no están ni creados, ni entrenados para ella. Las FFAA están preparadas para la guerra y, por tanto, para eliminar objetivos y no para hacer tareas de prevención, disuasión o investigación criminal, por lo que tienden a mostrar un alto índice de letalidad.
