On Foreign Agents, Max Blumenthal and Ben Norton expose the biggest frauds recruited as defectors and dissidents to lie about Official Enemies by the US regime.
The Bolivarian nation will not forget the traitors either. Juan Guaidó, the self-proclaimed president of Venezuela on January 23, 2019, will not have impunity despite the dialogues with the opposition he represents. Guaido was not elected by anyone. He was not even a candidate in May 2018, when the legitimate and legal elections were held in Venezuela to choose the president. He was just some guy Venezuela’s right-wing chose in complicity with the U.S. to play the role of a pretend “popular” leader.
“That is why impunity will not be negotiated, whether the talks are in Mexico or on Mars. What there will be is justice, deep justice, because they have done so much damage to the Venezuelan family’s life,” Maduro said during an interview for Venezolana de Televisión.
Guaidó is the protagonist of the robbery of the CITGO company, a subsidiary of the Venezuelan state-owned oil company PDVSA in the U.S. He is also responsible for the seizure of more than $8 billion and the theft of more than $2 billion dollars in gold deposited in the Bank of England.
ERIC ZUESSE—America’s three main targeted countries — Russia, China, and Iran — have basically socialized their military manufacturers, instead of allowed them to become controlled by private investors and motivated by profits (such as in NATO countries). Unlike in the U.S. and its allied countries, those countries control their armaments-makers, instead of being controlled by their armaments-makers (such as in The West). For as long as Europe allies itself with America, instead of with countries — especially including Russia, China, and Iran — whose armaments-firms are controlled not by any private investors, but instead by those respective Governments, and not motivated by profits, but by each of those Governments’ authentic needs for its own effective self-defense, Europe will continue to be the sop for the many aggressions (including sanctions, etc.) by the U.S. Government and its allies, and will continue to draw refugees from countries that America (and its allies) attack. That can’t be a good future for Europeans.
JOHN PILGER—Recruited from all over the Muslim world, America’s secret army was trained in camps in Pakistan run by Pakistani intelligence, the CIA and Britain’s MI6. Others were recruited at an Islamic College in Brooklyn, New York – within sight of the doomed Twin Towers. One of the recruits was a Saudi engineer called Osama bin Laden.
The aim was to spread Islamic fundamentalism in Central Asia and destabilise and eventually destroy the Soviet Union.
In August, 1979, the US Embassy in Kabul reported that “the United States’ larger interests … would be served by the demise of the PDPA government, despite whatever setbacks this might mean for future social and economic reforms in Afghanistan.”
Read again the words above I have italicised. It is not often that such cynical intent is spelt out as clearly. The US was saying that a genuinely progressive Afghan government and the rights of Afghan women could go to hell.
The matter of Crimea’s reunification with the Russian Federation was settled in March 2014. This hard-won decision was made by the local residents themselves in a referendum that followed the unconstitutional coup d’etat in Kiev in February 2014. This way Crimeans could remain true to their history, to their Russian culture, the right to speak their native languages, including Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar, and at the same time avoid the dangers of the punitive operation and civil war, which was later unleashed by the Kiev regime in Donbass, as well as the Nazi-like atrocities that Odessa residents suffered in May 2014.
