It was predictable that if the West either supported or ignored an actual GENOCIDE taking place in plain view for over 2 years, then the powerful would be emboldened to effectively end the system of international law altogether
The world now has the (pre-WW1) law of the jungle (and nuclear weapons and a climate crisis)
In August 1960, US President Eisenhower ordered the CIA to murder Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically-elected leader of the Congo
Five months later, Lumumba was dead
When former MI6 officer Daphne Park was asked if Britain had a role, she said: "We did. I organised it."
Thread on @YvetteCooperMP Cooper in parliament yesterday trying to defend the indefensible in a debate on Venezuela.
Incredibly, she backed the US overthrow of Maduro by saying he's wanted by the International Criminal Court, after 2 years backing Netanyahu during a genocide.
Disagree with Diane Abbott all you like, but on this, not only is she right, she's also much closer to Thatcher than Starmer, Farage, and Badenoch.
Further evidence of just how far rightward the Overton window has been pushed in the UK.
FACT CHECK: Kemi Badenoch said "we are spending ALL our money on welfare".
Welfare represents around 24% of Government expenditure.
If you exclude the State Pension that drops to around 12%.
Did Nick Robinson correct her?
Don't be silly! #r4today@BBCr4today
On our application for Judicial Review in Scotland of the proscription of Palestine Action, the UK govt are trying Catch 22.
They claim I have no standing in the case as I am not a member of PA.
If I am a member of PA I will be arrested for terrorism...
PA of course was never a membership organisation.
In the year of 2000 there were nine countries without a Rothschild owned or controlled Central Bank:
1. Afghanistan
2. Iraq
3. Sudan
4. Libya
5. Cuba
6. North Korea
7. Iran
8. Syria
9. Venezuela
@SaulStaniforth@MikeTappTweets So funny witnessing MPs & media types struggling with the fact that all their education/training taught them that western politicians aren't gangsters, racketeers & criminals & yet here they are supporting a genocide & kidnapping of a democratically elected president & his wife.
What I most love about this Venezuela event is hearing western politicians and commentators struggling with the fact that all their training and education taught them that western politicians are not gangsters, racketeers and criminals.
Saddam wasn’t removed for 'freedom' -he started selling oil in Euros.
Gaddafi wasn’t bombed for 'human rights' -he threatened the dollar with a gold-backed African currency.
Maduro wasn’t targeted because of 'democracy'- Venezuela dared to sell oil in Yuan and step outside U.S. financial control.
Every time someone messes with the petrodollar, they magically become a dictator overnight.
Call it what it is, racketeering with flags. 'Liberation' is what they sell to the evening news.
@Steven_Swinford "the capture"? Are you having a laugh pet?
The sTrumpet's thugs have *kidnapped* Maduro *&* his wife & attacked a sovereign state for their oil.
BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped.
The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.
@SaulStaniforth Yet this "advocate of intl law" refuses to recognise international law when it comes to the genocide being committed by the Israelis against the Palestinians or when those other barbaric genocide supporters in the US attack a sovereign state & kidnap their president & his wife.
The pattern of postwar US interventions in Latin America was set by Britain in 1953 when it overthrew the democratically-elected govt in ‘British Guiana’.
Ministers fabricated a communist threat when the issue was sugar/bauxite. Labour backed the Tories.

Listen to language Sky News uses when reporting on the US attack on Venezuela: “stunning,” “spectacular,” “lit up the night sky…”
You’d never guess they’re describing a coup, illegal strikes, and a kidnapping.
This is propaganda, not journalism.
