Therefore, López Obrador requested that he be forgiven and released, after having exhibited major abuses by the US government and having released sensitive documents.of the most powerful nations in the world. He even revealed data about Mexico and the Felipe Calderón drug war. The latter accused Hugo Chavez of having financed Tabasco, a complaint that was mentioned before the United States. Everything was false.

Obrador said that a person who acted in this way should not be tortured for informing the world about acts of abuse by high-powered governments. In addition, he noted that Wikileaks revealed real data on how the Calderonist government stained its image when it was part of the opposition in the previous decade.

Orinoco Tribune operates without any advertising. We are not funded by any governments, think tanks, or large institutions. Our operations are entirely funded by readers like you. Our most generous donors have been targeted by the US for supporting socialist causes or are financially struggling. As a result, their accounts have been frozen, cutting off a significant revenue stream and severely threatening the sustainability of Orinoco Tribune.

We urge our readers and supporters, especially those not currently doing so, to help us with small donation (such as US $5 or $10/month) via Patreon, via Paypal/Credit-Card/crypto or via paper checks. Readers and supporters like you will allow us to continue bringing you progressive and hard-hitting news from Latin America, the Global South, and the world.

Help us reach our goal of $650 in monthly Patreon donations. We are counting on you as our only source of financial support!
