0·28 days agoThe Fate of the Furious (Fast & Furious 8, 2017) made history as one of the first major American studio films to shoot in Cuba following the easing of travel restrictions between the U.S. and Cuba. The production filmed intense, high-speed car racing scenes in Havana, featuring iconic local classic cars and utilizing the Malecón promenade as a, track. The Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Art and Industry (ICAIC) worked to secure permissions, handling official requests with stamped letters to navigate governmental bureaucracy.
The government allowed the production to shut down multiple city blocks in Havana, including major thoroughfares like the Malecón for the “Cuban Mile” opening race. The government granted access to shoot at Hemingway’s home, a popular, restricted museum. While initially cautious, the government permitted the first American helicopter with a camera to fly over Havana for filming, notes director F. Gary Gray. The government facilitated the project by lending military weapons for specific scenes.
The production created jobs for Cubans, including drivers, producers, and personal assistants. ICAIC, which supports up to 15 foreign productions yearly, viewed the project as an opportunity to boost the local film industry.

0·1 month agoThe SPD, a party of social democrats and democratic socialists, had a fruitful period of cooperation with the KPD, the Communist party until the KPD received marching orders from their new boss in Moscow in 1928, the newly ascendant Stalin, to refuse to cooperate with the ‘social fascists’ of the SPD, under the bizarre notion that the Weimar Republic collapsing under the weight of the far-right would let the KPD smoothly assume power, as though the army and paramilitaries were already communist instead of, you know, conservative as fuck.
This ignores the fact the fucking SPD and their goverment signed multiple secret agreements with the Soviets, and both worked to restart their arms industry, that was literally the entire deal of the Treaty of Rapallo. The SPD was made up of idiots who fucked up the treaty though. An interesting fact is that friedrich ebert’s son was a founding member of East Germany.

0·2 months agoI think Fidel genuinely didn’t knew Epstein. Epstein was huge buddies with Pastrana, I think Epstein left after staying one or two days in Cuba without Pastrana (Pastrana stayed there to talk about the Colombian Peace Process).
Redcuban1959 [any]@hexbear.nettoShit Reactionaries Say@lemmygrad.ml•“Fidel does appear in the Epstein files”English
0·2 months agoIn 2019, former Colombian President Andrés Pastrana publicly confirmed that he traveled to Cuba in March 2003 aboard Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet, the “Lolita Express,” specifically to meet with Fidel Castro.
Pastrana’s name appeared in 2003 flight manifests showing a journey from New Jersey to Florida and then to the Bahamas. While the final leg to Cuba was not officially recorded—likely to bypass U.S. travel restrictions—Pastrana confirmed they traveled from Nassau to Havana. He maintains that he was in Cuba to discuss a book he was writing about the Colombian peace process and that he had no knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities at the time. He has emphasized that he never visited Epstein’s private island, Little St. James.
Maxwell testified that she and Pastrana “just became friends” because they were both helicopter pilots. She claimed Pastrana was the one who actually organized the trip to Cuba to meet Castro. One of the biggest controversies involves photos of Maxwell wearing a Colombian Air Force flight suit. Maxwell claimed she used the uniform while piloting a Blackhawk helicopter in Colombia and even alleged she “fired a rocket at a terrorist camp”.
Extradited paramilitary leader Rodrigo Tovar Pupo (alias Jorge 40) stated that paramilitaries and drug dealers actively backed Pastrana’s candidacy in 1998. Reports from the time indicated that while the 1998 elections were generally transparent, they were marred by paramilitary intimidation and fraud in various regions to influence the outcome.

0·3 months agoFallout 1 and 2 had only vaguely anti-communism stuff (stuff from the old world), the start of fallout 1 with a cutscene of US troops killing journalists/guerrilla fighters in Canada (In Fallout Tactics theres a joke about leftist guerrilla infighting in Canada over naming their organization). Bizarrely the Soviets and Americans were close enough in the Fallout universe that some russians still lived in America before the war.

0·3 months agoI think you’re confusing Quiroga with Paz a bit. Paz (he is mestizo not white) is the libertarian us bootlicker and Quiroga (he is white) is the openly racist far-right US bootlicker. Evo was replaced by Luis Arce who is a socdem and also native american. Evo’s vp was also a white Bolivian.

0·3 months agoArgentina is not as conservative as countries like Paraguay or Peru (still pretty bad but not as racist as the US or Canada. They did try to erase mestizo and black history in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil for many years). Paraguay have been ruled by the same political party since 1954, 80% of the population hate the LGBTQ+, the US made sure to keep in power a literal pedophile until 1989. Paraguay actively wanted to participate on the Vietnam war and genocide against Palestinians.

0·4 months agoYes, Trump/US have been using social media to promote right-wing ideology and politicians. But it’s also undeniable that Boric fucked up basically everything, just like how the Peronists fucked up in Argentina, and Lucho in Bolivia.

World News@lemmygrad.ml•Can someone explain to me why the fuck do Chileans want to vote for this clownEnglish
0·4 months agoCan someone explain why this is happening?
Boric fucked up really badly and Trump/Local Elites/Social Media have been financing and promoting right-wing ideology in South America in response to the fall of the 2010’s Conservative Wave, and the Second Pink Tide (which started with the election of AMLO in Mexico).
are Chileans the gusanos of Latin America or are they just white people?
Chileans can be based communists, cringe liberals or really weird chuds, but that is basically the same for all of Latin America. But the two most conservative countries in South America are Peru (which still do have a large left-wing presence which usually mix with some form of Peruvian nationalism thanks to Gen. Velasco’s influence who was basically South American Nasser/Pro-Soviet Social Democrat Dictator) and Paraguay (basically a dictatorship since ever, the country has been controlled by the right-wing faction of the Colorado party since the 1940s, and their main opposition is the left-wing faction within the Colorado Party, who are usually social democrats or socialist christians, and the Liberal Party).
Chilean society is usually very progressive but their economy is really fucked, and it’s no wonder there are a lot of protests in there. Kast have been trying to become president for a while now, so most people knows who he is.
PRD barely even exists anymore. They say they are against PAN but fucking Vicente Fox was part of this protests lmao. There were genuinely protests in PAN controlled states/provinces but the western media didn’t say anything about it bc why would they.

0·8 months agoFidel Castro, Andres Pastrana and Jeffrey Epstein



I think it was a weird false flag shit, they kept using that to create some weird conspiracy theory to say that the left-wing peronists were the “real terrorists” bc they were protecting Iran. Meanwhile they ignore the actual terrorism and massacre of jews by the Far-Right 1970s - 1980s juntas.
