Resistance, Remembrance, and Comunidad: Cinco de Mayo, Mount Pleasant, and the Rebuilding That Erases
Cinco de Mayo is often misunderstood in the United States. It is reduced to a marketing holiday, a day of beer specials, paper flags, mariachi clichés, and the shallow consumption of Mexican culture without the burden of remembering Mexican history. But the heart of Cinco de Mayo is not consumption. It is resistance.
The day remembers the Battle of Puebla, May 5, 1862, when Mexican forces defeated the French army, then one of the most powerful military forces in the world. It was not Mexican Independence Day. It was not the founding of Mexico. It was a day when a people under pressure from empire stood their ground. It was a day when the powerful were resisted by those who were supposed to lose. It was, at its deepest level, a day about memory, dignity, land, sovereignty, and the refusal to be swallowed by imperial appetite. (MySA)
That is why, for me, Cinco de Mayo cannot be separated from another May 5: May 5, 1991, in Washington, D.C.
I was there.

FormBook Malware Uses Phishing, DLL Side-Loading, JavaScript
Two distinct phishing campaigns have been identified targeting companies in Greece, Spain, Slovenia, Bosnia and Central American countries to deliver FormBook data-stealing malware. The first campaign uses RAR attachments containing legitimate executables like Sandboxie ImBox.exe, TikTok desktop, Adobe PDF Preview Handler, and XZ Utils, exploiting DLL side-loading with malicious DLL files. The second campaign deploys heavily obfuscated JavaScript that drops encrypted PNG files, uses PowerShell with Base64 encoding, and leverages a custom .NET loader called Mandark to inject the payload into RegAsm process. Both campaigns deliver the same FormBook executable that employs advanced evasion by manually mapping ntdll.dll in memory to bypass user-mode monitoring and perform direct syscalls, enabling credential theft and data collection from browsers while avoiding detection mechanisms.

Hype for the Future 169E: Is Florida Caribbean?
Introduction Society often expects the State of Florida to be described as a peninsular state with the Gulf of Mexico to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, but why? Isn’t there also the Caribbean Sea in the area? Caribbean Definition Usually, the Caribbean refers to the insular areas of the Caribbean Sea and not to the mainland. These are often independent nations, though dependencies and overseas territories are also associated with the region. Sometimes, even the South […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/04/18/hype-for-the-future-169e-is-florida-caribbean/

@wyatt_h_knott Actually, the Aztecs invented rubber, which was re-invented in the 1800s. I just found out about that myself.
Aztec, Maya Were Rubber-Making Masters?
Ancients blended plant juices to get bouncier or tougher rubber, study says.
By Rachel Kaufman
Published June 30, 2010"Ancient civilizations in much of #Mexico and #CentralAmerica were making different grades of rubber 3,000 years before Charles #Goodyear 'stabilized' the stuff in the mid-19th century, new research suggests.
"The #Aztec, #Olmec, and #Maya of #Mesoamerica are known to have made rubber using natural latex—a milky, sap-like fluid found in some plants. Mesoamerica extends roughly from central Mexico to Honduras and Nicaragua.
"Ancient rubber makers harvested #latex from #RubberTrees and mixed it with juice from #MorningGlory vines, which contains a chemical that makes the solidified latex less brittle."

UN “Experts” Fueling Washington’s Attacks on Nicaragua

Who Will Be Romero Today?
Romero Rally Flyer 1990On this day we remember Archbishop Óscar Romero, murdered on March 24, 1980, while celebrating Mass. The church remembers him not simply as a tragic victim, but as a martyr whose blood was joined to the blood of the people he refused to abandon. Vatican sources still name him what so many already knew him to be in life: a “voice of the voiceless,” assassinated at the altar because he would not stop speaking for the poor.
Romero was killed soon after one of the most fearless sermons of the twentieth century. Addressing soldiers and police, he said that they were killing their own campesino brothers and sisters, and that God’s law stood above the commands of violent men: “Thou shalt not kill.” He declared that no soldier is obliged to obey an order against the law of God, and he ended with that thunderous plea: “In the name of God… cease the repression!”
That is why Romero remains dangerous. He did not speak in abstractions. He did not bless power from a safe distance. He did not soothe the conscience of empire. He named the sin directly. He named the victims directly. He named the moral responsibility of those ordered to carry out injustice. And for that, he was silenced by a bullet at the altar. Yet even in death he was not silenced, because martyrdom is a form of speech the powers of this world do not know how to answer.
Ten years later, in 1990, his name was still summoning people into the streets. The flyer for the Washington march commemorating Romero’s assassination called for an end to U.S. war in Central America, a march from the Capitol to the White House, and even nonviolent civil disobedience after the rally. It named the demands plainly: end U.S. aid to El Salvador, withdraw U.S. advisers, stop repressing the people, end the war against Nicaragua, lift the trade embargo, normalize relations. That call was real, and it was public. It survives in archival collections even now.
And I remember that day not as a line in a history book but as something lived in the body. Ten years after Romero’s assassination, I was arrested outside the White House after I and other activists built a miniature Central American village there. We were trying, in our small and vulnerable way, to make visible what policy papers and patriotic speeches tried to hide: villages, families, campesinos, the poor, the disappeared, the threatened, the dead. We were insisting that Central America was not a chessboard for Washington, but a place of human beings made in the image of God.
