THE PENTAGON-MEDIA COMPLEX

ELIJAH MAGNIER—The initial agreement between the Kurds and Damascus (via Russia) consists in the ending of the self-administration of NES, the integration of the Syrian Kurds under the command of the Syrian Army, and the pursuit and destruction of all ISIS forces. A US withdrawal from the al-Tanaf border crossing between Iraq and Syria is also expected when a solution is found for the 64,000 refugees at the Rukhba camp.

Lee Camp and Jesse Ventura discuss the American media’s shameless regime of “managed news” in favor of the plutocracy’s agendas, including the selling of constant and expanding wars—which are naturally highly profitable to some segments of the billionaire class.

Tucker Carlson may be a rightwinger, and work for Fox News, one of the veritable latrines of world “journalism”, but he often comes up with valiant and correct opinions on topics that no one else will touch. Here’s one example. That should be appreciated and not denigrated.

MOA—The situation is at a stalemate. The U.S. will increase sanctions. Venezuela will, like Iran and Syria, find ways around them. Years later nothing essential will have changed.Guaidó may be an attractive looking man capable of charming officials in Washington. But he so far was not able to get anything done. He has only few followers and President Maduro simply ignores him.This was not the plan when this ‘regime change’ operation started. Trump was promised a fast coup during which the military would jump to the site of the random guy the neoconservatives sold to him as “interim president”. That did not happen.

PATRICE GREANVILLE—Mexican-born Ramos wants us to believe (and so he says in the interview with Cooper) that while he was admittedly a bit confrontational with Maduro—holding his feet to the fire so to speak—he was merely acting as a tough journalist, but that is not at all what Ramos does and was doing. In the guise of interviews, Ramos in fact specialises in hostile, real-time propaganda toward political figures the empire or the “Deep State” has put in its crosshairs.  He tried years ago the same ruse with Bolivia’s Evo Morales, and Evo, quickly seeing through his dishonesty, also kicked him out.
