The present work seeks to demonstrate that in all political discourse, a work of masking reality is exercised, consciously or not, aiming at justifying behaviors in the political sphere. For this, analytical categories are proposed that allow dismantling the basic structures of discourse that the various theories or ideological justifications reveal. Methodologically, the analysis focuses on the study of discourses typical of the Cold War and the post-Cold War in the Caribbean. First, the unofficial internal political discourse of the United States is analyzed, which symbolizes the discourse opposed to the line of the US government in relation to the crisis in Haiti. Second, it examines the unofficial discourse, opposed to the Sandinista government, and the official discourse of the United States regarding the crisis with Nicaragua in 1979.
