PATRICE GREANVILLE—CNN, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, Fox, the NYTimes, the WaPo, the Wall Street Journal, the coterie of vassal media in subimperialist nations, fellow whore media like The Economist, the (UK) Guardian, and so on…and let’s not forget the deformations constantly introduced by supposedly comedy shows, like Bill Maher’s, which has gone full on zioimperialist, or Steven Colbert, always a dependable conduit for the Democrats’ lies du jour. The list is indeed long of those engaged in disinforming the public 24/7, all of them existing and operating chiefly for the benefit of their masters, the 0.00001% that owns everything worth owning in this world.
WASHINGTON’S VASSALS

CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—After all, if the US were so keen on getting its $20 million of humanitarian aid to the people of Venezuela, it could simply have given that shipment to one of the many nations that Venezuela is currently accepting aid from like Russia, China, India, Turkey or Cuba to deliver instead of instigating a hostile stand-off on Colombian and Brazilian border towns. Or, rather than demanding that a literally besieged government passively allow large, unexamined shipping containers to be delivered by the government orchestrating that siege into the hands of the Venezuelan faction that is collaborating with it, they could simply have given that shipment to the UN or the Red Cross for delivery.

FEDERICO PIERRACCINI—The major problem for Washington’s European allies has always been summoning the will to contain US imperialism. For many years, especially since the end of the Cold War, European countries have preferred to defer to Washington’s positions, confirming their status as colonies rather than allies. It is fundamental to recognize that European politicians have always been at the service of Washington, eager to prostrate themselves to American exceptionalism, favoring US interests over European ones.

Here’s Where America’s Imported Oil Comes from: Venezuela Is Currently the 4th-Largest
20 minutes readERIC ZUESSE—So: the US is replacing the world’s cleanest oil with the world’s filthiest oil, and that’s not only from Canada but also from Venezuela. However, because the US aristocracy want to take over Venezuela, the US Government now is set to zero-out oil imports from Venezuela, so as to increase the pressure on Venezuela’s Government to place in charge there a leader who will do America’s bidding. Canada has been working right alongside the US to achieve that objective, and will probably be supplying to the US much (if not all) of the 16,889 bpd oil that currently has been supplied by the other producer of very dirty oil: Venezuela.

China Expert Jeff J Brown publishes catalog of interviews: a solid resource for activists fighting the Empire’s disinformation
61 minutes readJEFF J. BROWN—I just spent several hours going through my blog log and listing all the interviews I have been involved in, either as host or guest. It all started in 2014, when Bruce Connolly at Radio Beijing AM774 began interviewing me about the first book of The China Trilogy, 44 Days, which ended up being an 18-part series. Then, Kevin Barrett at Truth Jihad invited me on his show and I said to myself, Hell, I can do this too! My first interviews as host were with Gail Evans, a three-part series on Africa. Suddenly, I was off and running, hooking up the microphone and I haven’t looked back since.
