The Bautista brothers are convicted fraudsters who own the private off-shore company that manages Colombia's voting software
Their company botched Colombian elections in 2014 and 2022, when 400,000 votes for Petro's party went missing
Before any official tally, Trump and Israel-backed De La Espriella only leads by 250,694 votes
I’ll go one more. The US Military that went into Vietnam was probably the best version of the US military in modern times. It had the right balance of arms, troops, and platforms. It was just fighting a war it wasn't designed to fight.
The US empire is waging a neocolonial assault all across Latin America.
The US blatantly meddled in Colombia's election. Trump and Marco Rubio backed the far-right, multimillionaire candidate Abelardo de la Espriella (a defender of fascist paramilitaries), and there are serious irregularities in the results.
Colombia's current left-wing President Gustavo Petro has been very pro-Palestine and pro-China. He cut relations with the genocidal Israeli regime and joined China's Belt and Road Initiative.
De la Espriella vows to form a close alliance with the US and Israel, and minimize relations with China. Just a few weeks before the elections, he was in Florida, meeting with far-right US politicians who are close allies of Trump and Rubio.
The same thing is happening across the continent. The US carried out a blatant electoral coup in Honduras, to put a drug cartel-linked, pro-US, pro-Israel, anti-China puppet in power.
The US is currently trying to steal the election in Peru, to put the daughter of the fascist former dictator in power.
The US empire already has far-right puppets in power in Argentina, Chile, and Ecuador. The leader of Chile is the Pinochet-defending son of a Nazi war criminal. The dictator of Ecuador is the son of the country's richest billionaire oligarch.
Brazil is the next target of the US empire's neocolonial assault, in this year's election.
This is the colonial Monroe Doctrine in the neo-fascist era.
This is quite astounding. The Prime Minister of Qatar and the American Vice President are not just negotiating the deal, but they are actively typing it into the laptop.
They are doing the legwork, not just the decision-making.
🇺🇸🇶🇦 Qatar’s PM is in Lucerne with JD Vance and Jared Kushner, saying that work continues overnight.
These guys are grinding hard behind the scenes trying to hold this Iran deal together while Hormuz on a standstill and Lebanon is still a fragile hotspot.
No sleep for the deal-makers. Hopefully Trump can contain himself from making more threats.

"You’re going to see a spike like you never saw before.” Oil market expert @Dan_Dicker predicts oil could surge up to $135/barrel unless a lasting agreement is reached with Iran, as global stockpiles near dangerously low levels. - Bloomberg
Is Hormuz open for safe passage?
If so: Why does current tracking data show no vessels crossing Hormuz in last 24 hours?
This shows Iran still holds the cards that matter
I hate being right. I really do. This country is in for a nightmare economic collapse in less that 60 days if this Strait isn’t fully reopened like tomorrow. And if it doesn’t stay open.
US-Iran Peace Talks Fail.
The US delegation, led by JD Vance, entered the meeting arena first. This was strange, because the party that claims to be the upper hand typically arrives last.
Shortly after, the Iranian delegation arrived. They greeted the mediator, Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif, but informed him that they refused to negotiate due to recent threats issued by Trump. They didn't meet Vance and then abruptly left.
A panicked Sharif frantically requested his boss, "Field Marshal" Munir, to intervene, but Munir also appeared helpless. Watching from a distance, Vance approached and asked what had happened. A shaken Sharif and Munir apologetically explained the situation to him.
Trump: "I am disappointed Israel cannot put Hezbollah away. They can't do anything without knocking buildings down. I am close to giving this to ISIS because he would do a more precise job"
When Donald freaking Trump says ISIS would be more "precise" than you, you've officially hit a new low
🇺🇸🇮🇷 TRUMP HAS ALREADY VIOLATED SECTION 1 OF THE MoU!
Trump just threatened to "hit Iran very hard again" over Lebanon, a direct breach of Section 1 of the Islamabad MoU, which binds both sides to refrain from the threat or use of force against each other.
This is Damascus, the capital of my country.
Israel bombed it less than a year ago, despite the fact that not a single shot had been fired at Israel from Syria for over 60 years.
This had nothing to do with Iran, Hezbollah, or Hamas. It was part of Israel’s efforts to interfere in the country’s internal affairs and keep it divided and weak.
So when Israelis claim that Israel does not attack those who do not attack it, Damascus proves otherwise.
Hasan Piker: “Israel is the actual terrorist. Hezbollah would not exist if Israel had not invaded and occupied Lebanon. Right now it is the only force in Lebanon that is actually fighting back against the alien invaders that are illegally blowing up villages. I don’t care about your fucking feelings. I care about the truth. The truth is Hezbollah in Lebanon right now is not only fighting a just war, they’re fighting a moral one. Israel’s actions in Lebanon are war crimes. Facts don’t care about your fucking feelings”
🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷JD Vance on Iran and Israel:
"Do I think there are people within Israeli society who would like to turn Iran into Libya, basically a failed state with 90 million people? Probably."
Why are they telling the truth all of a sudden?
