Liberal media didn't paint a good picture of him . I think he is in Russia now ..
Christopher Helali of the American Communist Party has been a high-level Venceremos Brigadista since he began traveling to Cuba in 2015. He has been to Cuba “many many times” since then.
Helali’s hero and mentor is George Galloway ( UK Workers Party - Sovintern ) , a personal friend and confidant of Fidel Castro since 1987. Fidel Castro was also a friend / colleague of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, starting in 2002. Sovintern was co-founded by the ACP, UK Workers Party (among other Communist parties around the world) and Fidel Castro’s Grandson: Fidel Antonio Castro Smirnov.
🇨🇺 In Cuba, Helali studied at the University of Havana under Dr. Thalia Fung (half Cuban, half Chinese), a founding member of Fidel Castro’s Cuban Communist Party (PCC) and a high-ranking member of the Committee for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR), part of the Ministry of Revolutionary Armed Forces—armed thugs that spy on Cuban locals to root out, oppress, and imprison dissenters.
🕵🏾♂️Helali started going to Cuba the year after ICAP President Fernando Gonzalez Llort (Convicted Spy & Leader of the Cuban Five / WASP Network) was released in a prisoner exchange under Obama in 2014. ICAP is Cuban regime’s premier intelligence front group & vehicle for radical left-wing extremism and subversive foreign influence in the U.S.
🇨🇳 Before 2015, Helali studied in Wuhan at Huazhong University of Science and Technology on a Chinese CCP state-sponsored scholarship for two years and traveled to the DPRK.
🏩 In January 2025, Helali went to Havana and attended the 6th International Conference for World Balance, sponsored by ICAP (Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples) that oversees the NNOC (National Network on Cuba). Helali and ICAP President Fernando Gonzalez Llort were part of the same plenary session on Cuban Solidarity.
The Havana Conference on WB was hosted by the President of Cuba, Miguel Diaz Canel (Raul Castro’s puppet) with many high ranking Foreign Ministers in attendance, such as:
🇷🇺 Dmitry Georgievich Novikov - First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs & prominent member and deputy of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF).
🇻🇪 Rander Peña Ramirez - Executive Secretary of ALBA-TCP deputy minister for Latin America of the Venezuelan Ministry of Foreign Affairs and VP for International Affairs of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV).
🇻🇪 Jorge Arreaza - Former VP & Minister of Foreign Affairs of Venezuela
🇫🇷 Boris Differ - International Secretary of the Pole of Communist Revival in France (PRF)
🇷🇸 Aleksandar Denić - Executive Secretary of the New Communist Party of Yugoslavia (NKPJ)
Also in attendance -
- Medea Benjamin of CODEPINK 🎀
- David Adler of Progressive International
- People’s Human Rights Observatory, GAMIP, Kavilando, Black Alliance for Peace, Veterans For Peace, Jose Marti Project, and World BEYOND War.
ICAP was one of five entities Rubio designated as off-limits under sanctions. The sanctions also target Cuba’s Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces (MINFAR), the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR), Minera La Victoria S.A., and the state-run tourism company Amistur Cuba S.A., which has arranged trips to Cuba with U.S. nonprofits in the Singham CODEPINK - People’s Forum - DSA - PSL Network.
Rubio sanctioned ICAP, GAESA, and the CDR earlier this year.
Interesting observation -
—> ICAP was sanctioned on June 4, 2026.
—> Helali stepped down from the ACP on June 5, 2026.
