Germanía, Carlos beat me to it…about David Paul. These are Marxist activists, out for a Socialist Theme Park tour, all expenses paid, 200$ a night hotel, more like 300$ now, great restaurants in El Hatillo. No se pelan esta rumba.

Excellent write up Germania. I won’t call these folks misguided souls, naive idiots is more like it. Yes we met some DSA gringos during the occupation of the Washington DC embassy in 2019, led by the infamous Medea Benjamin from Code Pink. Good job. I will subscribe to the newsletter.
