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.
Amid a failed coup attempt in Bolivia, a split within the leftist MAS party, and allegations of a “self-coup”, the LMC spends the hour with Gabriel Hetland to break down a series of events in Bolivia that raises more questions than answers for the struggling presidency of Luis Arce.
Gabriel Hetland is an associate professor of Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx studies at SUNY Albany in New York.
Following the death of former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, the LMC speaks with American journalist John Dinges, the author of “The Condor Years: The Secret History of South America’s Assassination Alliance,” on Kissinger’s dark legacy in Latin America.
