"We're fighting Narco terrorists In Venezuela!" -Trump
Trump confirms US military seized oil tanker near Venezuela: 'Largest one ever!'
I guess the best way to fight drug smugglers is to steal an Oil tanker?
The fact that anyone buys this garbage is astounding.
The same people who rightly laughed at the "Biden is Sharp & Focussed" lie, are now gulping down these lie for Trump's regime change war in Venezuela.

Most people do not misunderstand Asia.
They inherit Western misunderstandings
And mistake them for knowledge.
They know the Opium wars as trivia,
But not the famine that followed.
They know the "Vietnam War" through Hollywood,
But not the 2,000 years of resistance behind it.
Ignorance is not accidental.
It is engineered.
Trump is about to start another war, this time with Venezuela.
If you're not angry, you're not paying attention
Or you're a warmongering sociopath, like the "peace president."
While waging a fake anti-drug war on Venezuela, Trump will pardon the convicted narco prez Juan Orlando Hernández, who trafficked 500+ tons of drugs into the US – mainly because he figures in Washington's plot to manipulate Honduran elections
Raul Pineda, a Honduran lawyer and analyst who worked in his country’s Council to Fight Drug Trafficking, explained to The Grazyone that Hernández’s main achievement was to “create a fourth estate of drug trafficking within the republican model of governance.”
Hernández “began to replace [the old narco kingpins] with institutional trafficking, where military personnel and police were used [for protection], along with the cover of prosecutors and judges…” Pineda said. “He tried to replace narcos with elected military personnel, with police officers, with elected politicians accompanied by an entire structure of media, opinion leaders, and organized political groups.”
According to Pineda, Hernández transformed Honduras into a pivotal transit center for the drug trade: “He built six airports in a country of nine million inhabitants. And each airport, some of which have recently had three plane accidents in one year, had the sole function of being a logistical platform for drug trafficking. So instead of the plane landing on a dirt road, it landed on a paved runway and they paid for using it.”
Even though the US knew Hernández was a prolific drug trafficker, the DEA worked with him to provide the illusion of an anti-narcotics policy. “The DEA has very little credibility in the world of interdiction agencies,” Pineda said. “After all, the DEA’s highest decoration was awarded to Manuel Noriega. And the head of the Southern Command repeatedly came to Honduras to praise the virtues of Don Juan Orlando Hernández.”
We are supposed to look out for our neighbors, not hate them.
This country has never been perfect, nor will it be perfect any time soon, but it’s up to us to strive for better.

‘It’s not 75 years since the Nakba. It’s 75 years OF the Nakba.’
It’s ethnic cleansing.
It’s genocide.

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.
Nothing has ever trickled down.
“I know war. What’s going on in Palestine right now is not war.” “It’s genocide.” “It’s the ethnic cleansing of a specific people to take their land.”
“US taxpayers are paying for this, which makes it even more frustrating.” “This needs to stop.”

NEW: There’s this annoying assumption that while oligarchy may explain many bad trends in our society, it somehow has nothing to do with the housing crisis.
This argument is amplified by movements bankrolled by oligarchs - even as reams of data prove it is a flagrant lie.
Anyone else find it strange that 7 of the richest men on Earth aren't just billionaires, but also media barons?
Musk, Ellison, Bezos, Arnault, Brin, Page, Zuckerberg.
They own the feeds, papers, platforms and narratives that shape our reality and no one says a word.🚩
We have to recreate what the Italian dock workers did in Genova this weekend — striking, shutting down the machinery of the state and getting in the streets. It is the only mechanism to stop the genocide, and break the back of the ruling class.
The numbers don’t lie. Israel’s civilian kill rate in Gaza has surpassed the ratios seen in World War II campaigns waged by the Axis powers. Let that sink in. A state size of New Jersey claiming to act in “self-defense” is killing civilians at a pace faster than the most fascist regimes in history. This industrial-scale slaughter, aided by U.S. weapons and bombs. Can you imagine if any other country had these kinds of numbers?
