An urgent question arises, what is Obama doing when talking about human rights in Venezuela, and signing interventionist executive actions, when in his country the white police kill afro descendants every day in crimes of racial hatred? From that point, it is impossible to speak of democracy in the country, a fallacy of the many invented by this interventionist system that should instead deal with its own domestic policy. Undoubtedly the worst embarrassment to the African descendant (...)

UNITED STATES - Obama’s Mockery to Undocumented ImmigrantsIlka Oliva Corado
11 July 2016, posted by Ilka Oliva CoradoDuring his visit to Cuba, Obama had the nerve to tell Raul Castro that the Cuban diaspora in the United States suffered from homesickness, trying with this to blame the Cuban Revolution for the immigration; he did not mention the Cuban Adjustment Act which the United States uses to punch the revolution below the belt with the aim to erase all the beauty of that poem.
In another very distant place away from Cuba, is the Latin American immigration, specifically the one from the Northern (...) -

UNITED STATES - Hillary Clinton, Interventionist in Latin AmericaIlka Oliva Corado
22 June 2016, posted by Ilka Oliva CoradoIt’s now that Hillary Clinton is contemplating the fruits of her decision not to have divorced when her husband committed the baseness to which the media and patriarchy have referred as “having a little fling”. They are the same media and the same patriarchy who stoned and re-victimized the girl involved in the affair; when the married man, the one who had a family, and promised fidelity, and failed, was he. “He is the president of the United States, he is allowed to do it,” so their (...)

UNITED STATES - Who Said That Neoliberalism is the Solution?Ilka Oliva Corado
5 May 2016, posted by Ilka Oliva CoradoOne day the world awoke to the news that Iraq was in possession of weapons of mass destruction; a US Machiavellian plan to which the UK, Poland, Australia and Spain joined -as the first front-. That was how in 2003 we saw the start of the Iraq war. A ruthless genocide against the Iraqi people was announced on international news as simply collateral damage. Meanwhile, US soldiers were honored by such courage in defense of humanity and the homeland and are now, revered veterans. Saddam (...)

UNITED STATES - Elections and Undocumented ImmigrantsIlka Oliva Corado
15 April 2016, posted by Ilka Oliva CoradoIn any country, under any circumstances undocumented migrants are always the hardest hit of the system. Invisible as people and visible as booty. Undocumented migrants are beneficial to the country that forces them to migrate; in exchange for this ingratitude their country of origin receives remittances which serve to keep the country afloat. The transit country that disrespects their human rights and freedom of movement (kidnap, torture and disappear them), also takes advantage of them. (...)

From America, I AmIlka Oliva Corado
12 March 2016, posted by Ilka Oliva CoradoIn the current presidential election process that the United States is experiencing it has come to light the importance of the Latino community living in the country. Yes, the importance, although it doesn’t seems so. Never in an electoral process have politicians taken as a topic of discussion the contribution of the Asian, European and African descendant community with the same zeal as they do with regard to the Latino community in the present elections. Of course, depending on the view (...)

UNITED STATES - Immigration Reform and Illegal Hispanic Population
Oscar E. Cariceo
24 de noviembre de 2014, puesto en línea por Claudia CasalIllegal Hispanic immigration is a significant social problem. The United States must deal with the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants. The Latino or Hispanic population faces poor employment conditions; significant lack of social benefits, such as quality health insurance, education opportunities, housing access, and fair retirement plans; and, ultimately, a tremendous segregation on the basis of invisibility of cultural characteristics and traditions. In other words, this is a (...)

7 July 2014, posted by DialJune, 17th, 2014 - Black Agenda Report - Since the meltdown of 2008, U.S. universities have collaborated with the Pentagon to study dynamics of social movements, worldwide.
