AI deception. Fake news sites. Bot farming. Attempted murder. This week the LMC speaks with Kurt Hackbarth and Arturo Dominguez to discuss the case of right-wing operative Fernando Cerimedo and his disinformation media network that has negatively influenced numerous countries in Latin America as well as his ties to the US.
Kurt Hackbarth is the co-host of the Soberania Podcast and Sin Muros on Mexico City’s Canal 11. Arturo Dominguez is a freelance writer based in Houston, Texas.
On a special 9/11 commemoration episode, the LMC speaks with historian Linn Shapiro on the life and legacy of the late Chilean human rights activist Fabiola Letelier and how she created the foundations of Chile’s continued struggle for justice decades after the US-supported Pinochet dictatorship.
Linn Shapiro is the author of “Fabiola Letelier: Face and Force of the Chilean Social Justice Movement.”
As the Trump administration strips away the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of hundreds of thousands of Haitians in the US, the LMC speak with Bertin Louis Jr., Professor of Anthropology and African American & Africana Studies (AAAS) and the Director of Graduate Studies (Anthropology) at the University of Kentucky, about the origins and modern-day uses of Anti-Haitianism worldwide.
