People of Venezuela just proved again that common US sabotage operations are not effective anymore


Since Hugo Chavez era, the US empire has tried every dirty trick against the socialist governments in Venezuela. From continuous economic sabotage to funding provocative operations of the right-wing opposition, and of course, unlimited propaganda by the Western mainstream media.

After the constitutional coup against Dilma Rousseff in Brazil, Nicolas Maduro is last barrier to be removed in the rοw of some key Latin America countries, so that the Empire will take back full control of its backyard.

The dirty war against Venezuela becomes wilder and wilder since Chavez decided to put back under state control the oil industry. Which means that the US big oil cartel is primarily behind the common sabotage operations (that we've seen so many times in past especially in Latin America) against Venezuelan government. It's not rocket science.

Recall that, a document under the title VENEZUELA: AMERICAN OIL AND SERVICE COMPANIES ENGAGE AMBASSADOR, from July, 2009, depicts the agony of the US oil corporations to stay in Venezuela, as they had already lost control over country's rich reserves. The summary is quite enlightening as gives the impression that the US companies were afraid that could be completely thrown out of the Venezuelan oil industry in the close future by then Chavez administration.



These operations, taken from CIA's textbooks, are aiming mainly to provoke public anger towards the ultimate goal, which is overthrowing socialist governments in order to be replaced by right-wing Washington's puppets.

As TeleSur reported:

Chavismo won another historic victory today in spite of the brutal U.S. war on the economy, the Washington-backed violence geared to the comprehensive and exhaustive media assault over the last few years, all aimed at overthrowing the government of President Nicolas Maduro. It hasn't worked - not with these people.

After all that the Venezuelan people have suffered, deprived of food and other essential products, violent attacks on their schools, hospitals and medical clinics, destruction of other public buildings, sabotage of their electrical grid, regular violent attacks by Colombian paramilitaries, having their elected leaders maligned, lied about and demonized, seeing their government resources diverted from production, services and development to defense, living with distress and fear in their daily lives and seeing their friends and love ones maimed and die simply because of their political views - despite all the suffering they have endured they supported their elected government today and sent the U.S.-backed right wing packing.

The result of regional elections that were held in Venezuela on 15 October 2017, showed again that these operations don't work. Because the majority of Venezuelans have chosen to support the socialist government. The United Socialist Party of Venezuela won at least 17 of the 23 governorships, also garnering 54 percent of the vote.

As expected, most of the mainstream media were shocked with the result and rushed to claim that the election was rigged.

It is obvious that the old style US sabotage methods start to become insufficient and this is probably one main reason why Donald Trump expressed openly his intention to 'take action' against Venezuela.

Just when the DNC "barons" openly call for a coup against Bernie Sanders, Politico accidentally reveals Bloomberg's real mission: "slow Sanders' delegate march" on Super Tuesday

globinfo freexchange
The sequence of events should not be considered random. It all started with a key question on the recent Democratic-primaries debate stage in Las Vegas.
MSNBC's Chuck Todd (you know, the one who described Bernie Sanders supporters as a "digital brownshirt brigade"), asked the candidates if the person with the most delegates at the end of the primary season should be the nominee even if they don't have a majority of the delegates. Of all the candidates, only Sanders answered positively, without hesitation. Something which, of course, shouldn't surprise us much.
The whole matter circulated around the corporate and the independent media for a while, with the progressives attempting to capitalize Bernie's response, in order to demonstrate his deeply democratic "reflexes" against the rest of the establishment candidates.
But it seems that the question was put in place by the establishment in order to test the "reflexes" of …

Another astroturfing operation against Bernie Sanders fails miserably

... right before the battle in South Carolina
globinfo freexchange
We are about to lose count of the number and different types of smear campaigns and dirty tricks that the DNC establishment has tried against Bernie Sanders so far. 
As the DNC "barons" and their super-wealthy donors understand now that Sanders' big power lies within a continuously growing, progressive movement behind him, they are trying to deal with it through the practice of astroturfing. In short, they are trying to undermine Bernie's authentic, grassroots movement, with a virtual one.

We witnessed another operation of this type during the latest Democratic debate, right before the next primaries battle in South Carolina. The operation involved an audience of supposedly authentic, ordinary voters, who, quite strangely enough, booed Sanders and cheered the billionaire Bloomberg!

Yet, one more time, progressive independent media (along with Sanders), exposed the new trick immediately.

Η πανδημία ακυρώνει προσωρινά τα σχέδια των νεοφιλελεύθερων τζιχαντιστών του Μητσοτακικού καθεστώτος

globinfo freexchange
Η αυτοδυναμία που πήρε η χειρότερη δεξιά της μεταπολίτευσης στις τελευταίες εκλογές, άνοιξε διάπλατα το δρόμο στη φράξια των νεοφιλελεύθερων τζιχαντιστών της, προκειμένου να πραγματοποιήσουν την τελική τους επέλαση ενάντια στο κοινωνικό κράτος.
Είναι σίγουρο ότι στα σχέδια υπήρχε η ιδιωτικοποίηση και του Εθνικού Συστήματος Υγείας, καθώς η φράξια ενισχύθηκε σημαντικά με την εκλογή φανατικών του νεοφιλελεύθερου δόγματος, όπως ο Μπάμπης Παπαδημητρίου.
Ήδη κάνουν το γύρο του διαδικτύου τα ηχητικά του Παπαδημητρίου που δήλωνε πως "Από τα κρατικά νοσοκομεία τα μισά τουλάχιστον πρέπει να κλείσουν. Γιατί είναι φορείς ασθενειών, γιατί έχουν πρόβλημα ...", με τον Άρη Πορτοσάλτε να συμφωνεί και να επαυξάνει λέγοντας πως πρέπει "όχι απλώς να κλείσουν, αλλά να γκρεμιστούν". 

Όμως η επέλαση της πρόσφατης πανδημίας, λόγω κορονοϊού, έμελλε να αναβάλει, τουλάχιστον προς το παρόν, τα "υγρά όνειρα" των φανατικών του Μητσοτακικού καθεστώτος για αθρόες ιδ…

It's actually the liberal elites that are now on the ropes, not Bernie Sanders

globinfo freexchange

Bernie Sanders' latest defeat in another round of the Democratic presidential primaries was received by most of the liberal corporate media almost as his political ending. Just take a quick look at the headlines. You will immediately recognize a bizarre anxiety by most of them to portray Joe Biden as the ultimate winner in the mother of all battles.
One more time, the liberal apparatus has been exposed, giving one more evidence that the liberal elites are considering Sanders as a biggest threat than even Donald Trump. One more time, the liberal establishment completely justified the perception circulated among many progressives: corporate Democrats would rather lose to Trump again than give Sanders the leadership of the party.

So, why all this anxiety?

First of all, the primaries are not over yet. Sanders may have suffered another defeat, but he won't give up easily. And the fact that he is still there, ready to crush Biden in a debate with just the two of…

Bernie's most powerful secret weapon is not Latinos

globinfo freexchange
A lot of discussion circulated around the independent and the corporate media about Sanders campaign ability to approach successfully the Latino community.
Progressive reporters and journalists of The Hill's Rising show went further on the issue, claiming that the Latino vote is Bernie's secret weapon on Super Tuesday, as it has been proven to work so far in the primaries.

While, undoubtedly, the Latino vote will be crucial on the outcome of the Democratic primaries process, it is not Bernie's biggest secret weapon. Bernie has another potential secret weapon - much more powerful - that could make him sweep the primaries and even grab the number of delegates that the DNC demands. And the good news is that he is the only one who could activate it.
Right before the decisive Super Tuesday battle, two DNC agents, Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar, were ordered to withdraw their nominations in order to unify the moderate vote around the "dinosaur" J…

REVEALED: Chief magistrate in Assange case received financial benefits from secretive partner organisations of UK Foreign Office

The senior judge overseeing the extradition proceedings of WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange received financial benefits from two partner organisations of the British Foreign Office before her appointment, it can be revealed.

Part 4 - Same addresses
Declassified has discovered that the addresses given by Lord Arbuthnot and other parliamentarians for Tertulias and Tatlidil have been the same — despite no obvious connection between the two organisations other than the UK Foreign Office. All the addresses are residential with no clear reason why they would be official addresses of high-level Foreign Office-linked fora.
In 2012, Arbuthnot recorded in his parliamentary register of interests that the address of both organisations was a Grade II listed house in the village of Cowlinge, Suffolk, which has a population of just over 600 people. From 2013-16, the address changed to a house in Higham, a small village with 140 people, also in Suffolk.

Julian Assange extradition hearing sees US attack bravery, press freedom

The Grayzone
A hearing on the US effort to extradite Julian Assange for charges brought under the Espionage Act has begun in London. Satirist and broadcaster Randy Credico, a friend of Assange, discusses the stakes involved: an unprecedented assault on press freedom and a media publisher who has exposed the crimes and secrets of the US establishment. 

'You'll see rebellion': Sanders supporters denounce open threats by superdelegates to steal nomination

"The Democrats might be able to stop Sanders, but in doing so they would destroy their party's own electoral prospects."
by Jake Johnson Nearly 100 Democratic superdelegates told the New York Times in interviews this week that if Sen. Bernie Sanders does not arrive at the party's 2020 convention in July with a majority of pledged delegates, they are willing to thwart the will of the plurality of primary voters—and potentially risk damaging Democrats' chances of defeating President Donald Trump—in order to stop Sanders from winning the nomination. 
"In a reflection of the establishment's wariness about Mr. Sanders," the Times reported Thursday morning, "only nine of the 93 superdelegates interviewed said that Mr. Sanders should become the nominee purely on the basis of arriving at the convention with a plurality, if he was short of a majority."
The superdelegates, many of whom are current elected officials, are "willing to risk intrapar…

'Organized money vs. Organized People': New Sanders memo details stark choice between Biden and Bernie

"Voters face a decision between Bernie's working-class movement and his message of change, and Biden's effort to—in his own words—make sure that 'nothing will fundamentally change' for the billionaire class."
by Jake Johnson
Sen. Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign sent a memo to staffers and surrogates Monday evening spotlighting "stark" policy differences between Sanders and Joe Biden on Social Security, trade, and other major issues after the former vice president received a wave of high-profile endorsements on the eve of Super Tuesday.
The memo, authored by Sanders campaign manager Faiz Shakir and senior adviser Jeff Weaver, characterizes Biden's endorsements from Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Beto O'Rourke, and former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid as part of an effort by the former vice president to "coalesce the Washington establishment and its big donors around his campaign to protect the status quo."…
