Protesters gathered in Mexico City and burned an effigy of US President Donald Trump, condemning what they called foreign interference in Venezuela and threats to regional sovereignty

[Fox News @FoxNews]

GET OUT: The U.S. Embassy Caracas issued an urgent security alert, warning Americans to depart Venezuela as soon as it is safe due to mounting risks.

Trump doesn’t even know what his own sanctions in 2019 did. And he’s incapable of being briefed so he asks questions about his own policies 🤦‍♀️

🚨OPERATION GLADIO: The international syndicate eliminating leaders from Patrice Lumumba, to Muammar Gaddafi, to control the world’s resources

‘Muammar Gaddafi cared about Libyans and he cared about Africans in general. And what happened to him? Well, he was assassinated because he dared to defy the central banking system and rely on gold in his own oil.

The same thing is true in Venezuela🇻🇪 today. When you become nationalistic and you want to use your resources to enrich your people, you get killed, you get overthrown.

They do it with these Gladio networks and the intelligence agencies and they deploy them. We did it in the Congo to Lumumba, he simply wanted to use the uranium…to enrich his own people.

What happened to him next? He was murdered. He was murdered by Operation Gladio elements.

Every leader that stands up for their country is a target from this international syndicate that wants to control all the world’s resources.’

In China, 99% of the police don't even carry guns, much less shoot civilians in their cars.

Be like China.

[Lee Camp [Redacted] @LeeCamp]

🚨 You want the REAL reason Trump has kidnapped President Maduro and waged war on Venezuela? It's not mentioned in any mainstream media outlet. If you watch those outlets/ read those papers, then you don't know the REAL reason.

It has nothing to do with drugs. Nothing to do with "fraudulent elections." Nothing to do with "helping" the Venezuelan people. And nothing to do with Maduro being "a bad guy."

Here’s the real reason.

The petrodollar system. Without (at minimum) economic war on Venezuela, the US dollar would collapse. Venezuela has more oil than any country on earth. But it’s not simply that the US wants that oil. If that were the case, they would make a deal with Maduro, which he offered if the US would end the belligerence. In order for the US to print endless money (for things like our trillion-dollar-a-year death machine), the US dollar needs to remain the global reserve currency. And for that to happen, it needs the petrodollar to remain strong. And for that to happen, fossil fuels around the world must continue to be bought and sold in US dollars. If VZ were to be allowed the full output of its massive oil reserves, much (if not all) would be sold in other currencies. This would greatly harm the petrodollar. It would also make Venezuela, a socialist country, one of the richest and most powerful countries on earth.

Both of those things are horrifying to the ruling sociopaths of the US empire.

You'll notice the word "petrodollar" will NEVER be said in mainstream media even though it is the heart of every single US dollar. Have you ever asked yourself why that is? It's the heart of the US capitalist system.

Anybody with half a brain can figure this out with a little bit of reading. Alas, the US mainstream media shills do not have half a brain.

[TravelGov @TravelGov]

Venezuela: The security situation in Venezuela remains fluid. As international flights have resumed, U.S. citizens in Venezuela should leave the country immediately. Before departure, U.S. citizens should take precautions and be aware of their surroundings. There are reports of groups of armed militias, known as colectivos, setting up roadblocks and searching vehicles for evidence of U.S. citizenship or support for the United States. Remain vigilant and exercise caution when traveling by road. Monitor airlines’ communications and websites for updated information.
Venezuela has the highest Travel Advisory level – Level 4: Do Not Travel – due to severe risks to Americans, including wrongful detention, torture in detention, terrorism, kidnapping, arbitrary enforcement of local laws, crime, civil unrest, and poor health infrastructure.

After all the bluster, chest-beating and warmongering rhetoric, reality eventually catches up. Make peace, you fools

[RT @RT_com]

Steve Bannon might run for President in 2028 — Axios

His goal isn’t the White House but rather ‘to shape the debate and pressure Republican candidates’

Wants an ‘America First agenda’ — no foreign wars, ‘economic populism and opposition to Big Tech’

Maduro the "isolated dictator with no popular support" is facing the 8th straight day of nationwide marches in his defense

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

Halliburton filed a lawsuit against Venezuela this December for damages it incurred when it was forced out of the country by Trump's unilateral sanctions

Rather than seeking financial restitution from Washington, these vultures targeted Venezuela's government

@CNC3TV Hmm. I thought by now, stealing was legalised in Trinidad and Tobago. If not, then, why is Prime Minister Kamla Susheila Persad-Bissessar SC backing the US as they steal Venezuela’s Oil?

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

In a normal world, this should be an immense scandal in Europe.

Le Monde has a long article (https://t.co/HsWFThQ5wF) describing the hellish life of Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the ICC in The Hague, due to U.S. sanctions punishing him for authorizing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant for war crimes in Gaza.

Guillou's daily existence has been transformed into a Kafkaesque nightmare. He cannot: open or maintain accounts with Google, Amazon, Apple, or any US company; make hotel reservations (Expedia canceled his booking in France hours after he made it); conduct online commerce, since he can't know if the packaging is American; use any major credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex are all American); access normal banking services, even with non-American banks, as banks worldwide close sanctioned accounts; conduct virtually any financial transaction.

He describes it as being "economically banned across most of the planet," including in his own country, France, and where he works, the Netherlands.

That's the real shocking aspect of this: the Americans are:
- punishing a European citizen
- for doing his job in Europe
- applying laws Europe officially supports
- at an institution based in Europe
- that Europe helped create and fund

and Europe is not only doing essentially nothing to protect him, they're actively enforcing America's sanctions against their own citizen - European banks closing his accounts, European companies refusing him service, European institutions standing by while Washington destroys a European judge's life on European soil.

Again, in a normal world, European leaders and citizens should be absolutely outraged about this. But we've so normalized the hollowing out of European sovereignty that the sight of a European citizen being economically executed on European soil for upholding European law is treated, at best, as an unfortunate technical complication in transatlantic relations.

[Scott Ritter @RealScottRitter]

Peter Hanseler, a renowned Swiss-born journalist who lives in Russia, confronts self-described Russian “expert” Gilbert Doctorow about his denigration of western independent journalists—including yours truly—when it comes to reporting on Russia.

Facts matter.
Peter has them.
Gilbert doesn’t.

BBC chief Tim Davie and Head of News Deborah Turness resigned, it was reported today. Good. Reminder: A years-long independent study by researchers in London and Hong Kong showed that the BBC was extremely biased against China - as were the FT, the Guardian, and the UK Daily Telegraph. The video I made at the time is less than 5 minutes long and summarizes the solid data on just how the media outlets named above cultivate hate for the Chinese -- NOT the Chinese government, but the country and the people.
