ATILIO BORON—That is why I can only express my satisfaction with the article that Juan G. Tokatlian published on March 12, 2020, on the opinion page of the Argentinean newspaper “Clarin.” For its clarity and forcefulness, I would like to recommend it to those who follow my writings because it adds novel elements derived from an analysis of the current moment of the Trump Administration and the dangers it entails not only for Latin America and the Caribbean but also for all humanity.
US LAWLESSNESS
To understand the nature of the January 2019 coup unleashed against Venezuela, it is important to see it in terms of its basis in economic warfare designed to undermine the sovereignty of the Venezuelan state. Former United Nations (UN) special rapporteur, Alfred de Zayas, declared in a UN report on Venezuela, completed in August 2018, that the “economic sanctions and blockades” like those being imposed by the United States on Venezuela in defiance of international law were “comparable with medieval sieges of towns. Twenty-first century sanctions attempt to bring not just a town but sovereign countries to their knees”
MoA—We followed (see below) the strange story as it developed and found that the official UK government version of it made absolutely no sense. Many of the assertions made by the British government did not withstand any scrutiny. The story was also inconsistent with a later incident in the nearby Amesbury during which Dawn Strugess allegedly died of contact with a similar substance as the one that supposedly poisoned the Skripals.
ED CURTIN—The important point is that the entire system of propaganda works on fear that is promulgated via the electronic media: television, cell phones, and computers. It is pumped out non-stop. The fear is the fear of death, the fundamental human fear that the powerful know how to manipulate to control people. Death that can come at the hands of fabricated enemies, disease, or state forces that will get you if you step too far out of line. Russia, China, Iran, corona virus, Julian Assange, and Chelsey Manning being a few prominent recent examples of what to fear and what will become of you if you resist the fear-mongering and lies, and are brave.
China is Confronting the COVID19 Epidemic with Endless Creativity Towards a Shared Future for Mankind
PETER KOENIG—Circumstantial gut-feeling tells me, this is not just a series of three coincidences. This is rather a maliciously planned disaster. This is a dark sinister plan carried out by a murderous western elite to attack China’s rapidly growing economy, outpacing that of the United States. It is an attack on the solid Yuan which is also gradually replacing the US dollar as a world reserve currency. When that happens the US-empire is doomed. This is not allowed to happen by those “men in the shadows”, who pull the strings behind western politicians.
