And there is violence in my heart~

Met President Aleksandar Vučić on the sidelines of the India AI Impact Summit. We discussed ways to deepen cooperation in areas such as defence, manufacturing, DPI, fertilisers and infrastructure. For many years, India and Serbia have worked closely and I am confident our ties will gain even more momentum in the times to come.

On May 15, 2019, Rev. Jesse Jackson broke the siege of the Venezuelan embassy in Washington to deliver food and supplies to antiwar activists defending it from the Trump admin and its violent proxies among the fake Juan Guaido mafia it had recognized as Venezuela's government.
Jesse took this physical risk and stood for international law while afflicted with Parkinson's, which had forced him to dial back his famously frenetic schedule.
Best known as a civil rights activist and understudy of MLK Jr., Jesse Jackson was also a diplomat who leveraged his status and personal gravitas to secure the release of Navy Lt. Robert Goodman, whose plane was shot down while attacking Lebanon, through in-person negotiations with Syrian Pres. Hafez Al-Assad.
Jesse was the first major Democratic presidential candidate to recognize the PLO and force the issue of Palestinian statehood. He campaigned against the criminal US embargo of Cuba, led grassroots opposition to apartheid South Africa, and spoke at the funeral of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
His geopolitical chops were on display during the 1984 and '88 primary debates, demonstrating a command of international issues that would have put any of today's leading Democrats to shame. Jackson's two presidential campaigns paved the way for those of Bernie Sanders, who proved more malleable and milquetoast on foreign policy.
Barack Obama considered Jesse a threat to his bid to win over the Zionist lobby and suburban white swing voters. And Jesse privately (and once on a hot mic) recognized Obama as a hollow fraud who would spend more time lecturing Black America than delivering material results for it.
With the backing of Wall Street and the war state, Obama supplanted Jackson, ensuring that there would no longer be a place for his brand of politics within the Democratic Party. Indeed, there is no contemporary successor to Jesse Jackson within the party, only the corporate misleaders and progressive pretenders now memorializing a whitewashed version of his legacy.

His family and a mariachi band were waiting for him.
