If you invade, you get Vietnam. If you "only" bomb, you get anarchy.

Maybe you kill Maduro. Maybe you hit some ministers.

You blow up central command and infrastructure.

Then what?

Do you really think María Corina and a few rich kids from eastern Caracas is going to stroll into Miraflores while colectivos, militias and the army stand aside?

No.

You get civil war - Benghazi with barrios, ten times the firepower and a hundred times the refugee crisis.

It's a hell of a racket.

- Impose sanctions to collapse the economy.
- Force people to flee by the millions
- Exploit the exodus for further aggression

The same policy that creates the refugees is then used to:
- Justify more imperial aggression abroad ("failed states", "humanitarian crisis")
- Justify more repression at home ("secure borders", "internal threats", "terror watchlists")

Rubio and his clique demand maximum pressure on Venezuela, then use the migrants that pressure produces to build a bigger domestic security apparatus.

The cost is not just Venezuelan suffering - it's American national decline.

Your medical bills. Your kid’s underfunded school.

The USS Ford parked off Venezuela’s coast? $13 billion.

That's 260,000 teachers' salaries. Or 1.3 million kids' school lunches for a decade. Gone.

Redirected into a carrier group enforcing corporate vengeance at the hands of a criminal gang of Zionist fanatics.

Chávez called it “the beast.” He was naming a system; one that consumes nations abroad while cannibalizing its own citizens at home.

He was right.

He also said the American people could defeat it from within; free themselves and, in doing so, free others from its reach.

Question for Americans:

How many more “blow them up” moments before you ask:

“Who exactly is this beast serving?”

For the good of all, the poor first.

A Venezuelan Little League baseball team earned their spot in the World Series, then got denied U.S. visas. Kids trained all year for this. Replaced by runners-up.

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott invested in 42 summer youth camps, 29 literacy programs, extended the rec center hours to 11 p.m. planned block parties, opened the pools for safe fun, and opened several schools up for summer classes…

Crime is down 62%.

Imagine that.

Illegal things landlords have said to me on tours today:

1. "Just you two? Great! I don't want to rent to families with kids."

2. "The sign says Sec. 8 accepted but don't worry we don't really rent to those people."

Stopped by Chicago's Graceland Cemetery today in hopes of seeing the coyote pups, but just this lone one popped out of the den to brave the heat.

It is by now apparent that what the internet set into motion was not the digital Jeffersonian Democracy that was predicted, but a new Dark Ages. We are careening toward reversing mass literacy and I don’t see any off ramp in sight.
