#VenezuelaAidLive is trending on Twitter in the USA as I write this, forced to the forefront of public consciousness and into everyone’s eyeballs by a concert staged by billionaire plutocrat Richard Branson. Branson’s Virgin Group controls hundreds of companies and brings in some $21 billion annually, with Branson himself valued at around five billion dollars.
The concert is pure narrative control operation, designed to advance the proven lie that the Venezuelan government is shutting out all humanitarian aid from its people, and the proven lie that it has blockaded a bridge to prevent the aid from getting through, both of which are also currently being promoted by American mainstream media despite being thoroughly disproven. In reality, the Venezuelan government has been taking in humanitarian aid from all around the world to help its people, just not from America’s regime change operation that is so blatant even NPR recognizes it, and the bridge Branson has been posing in front of for his “billionaire philanthropist” photo ops
They’re lying to us about Venezuela. Anyone with access to alternative media has access to the fact that they’re lying to us about Venezuela. We know this for a fact. We also know for a fact that Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves on planet Earth, and that in spite of all these appeals to the humanitarian impulses of the US empire the Trump administration is openly interested in controlling that oil. We also know for a fact that US interventionism in modern times is consistently disastrous, and consistently never truly about humanitarianism. We also know for a fact that PNAC neocon Elliott Abrams, who is spearheading this “humanitarian aid” initiative, has previously used humanitarian aid as a pretext for arming militia groups in Nicaragua.
If you have access to alternative media, all of these facts are easily available to you. If all of these facts are easily available to you, and yet you still support the US government’s interventionism in Venezuela, you are a complete fucking moron.
That’s really all I wanted to say here. I have less than zero respect for those who join with Donald Trump, John Bolton, Elliott Abrams, Benjamin Netanyahu, Jair Bolsonaro, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, Fox News and MSNBC in manufacturing consent for this agenda, and I don’t care who gets their feelings hurt by my saying so. If you’ve been a longtime reader of mine and you still support Trump’s starvation sanctions, CIA ops, grooming and attempted installation of US vassal Juan Guaidó, and brazen propaganda war upon the minds of the unsuspecting US populace with the goal of toppling a sovereign nation’s government, then my writing hasn’t gotten through to you and you have gotten nothing out of it.
I’ve interacted with so many Trump supporters since I started this gig who claim to be anti-interventionist and anti-neocon, yet once their president started ramping up yet another neocon regime change intervention in yet another resource-rich country just like Bush and Obama before him, they fell right in line just like Bush and Obama’s supporters did. Ask them why and they’ll mumble something inarticulate about the absence of US boots on the ground (a point Obama’s defenders also made about Libya and Syria) or about hating socialism, but in reality the reason they support Trump’s regime change interventionism in yet another oil-rich country is because they are foam-brained human livestock who believe whatever the leader of their tribe tells them to.
Not all Trump voters have done this, but many of them have. For the most part those who continue to support this president are at best deadly silent on Venezuela, and are at worst actively cheering this bullshit on with everything they’ve got.
I actually have more respect for the people who have always been plugged into the CIA/CNN narrative than I have for those who saw through it during Obama’s interventions but not during Trump’s. Someone who has always been plugged into the mainstream narratives on US regime change interventionism is like a guy with his head up his ass. Someone who saw through Obama’s depravity in Libya and Syria but fails to do the same with Venezuela is like a guy who pulled his head out of his ass, then soaked his hair with lube and willfully re-inserted it.
There is no excuse for supporting this administration’s obvious lies and sociopathic interventionism in a sovereign nation. None.
Wise the fuck up, people.

Caitlin JohnstoneWho is this commie puke?
He said of himself that he is a “Rogue journalist, Bogan socialist, Anarcho- psychonaut, Guerrilla poet, Utopia prepper”
And….WAIT FOR IT….”Top writer in Government, Politics, Poetry.”
Take you pick of any or all to answer your question.
In any case, he is Deckard’s new “authority poster boy” for his source of information.

Do you get the feeling yet that you wished you had never posted this article?
One would hope that you would now see that and understand why.

Not at all - your rabid response to this article has revealed the true nature of your ignorance of history and your unfettered praise of admitted criminal Elliott Abrams.
Drain the swamp my ass! Trump is still neck deep in it.
The response by you and others of your warmongering ilk to articles such as this one only reinforce my belief that Trump supporters are cultists.

Okay, I have regained my composure.
The response by you and others of your warmongering ilk to articles such as this one only reinforce my belief that Trump supporters are cultists.Okay, I get it.
You maintain the idiosyncratic belief and impression that you firmly maintain despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality or rationally argued truth.
Oh what a burden of delusion you must carry with you in life.

Let me make myself clear - humanitarian aid to Venezuela is fine and should be encouraged.
A military coup is another thing altogether. And that is exactly what is happening here.
The appointment of Abrams is a prime indicator.
I have less than zero respect for those who join with Donald Trump, John Bolton, Elliott Abrams, Benjamin Netanyahu, Jair Bolsonaro, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, MSNBC...
Trump, Bolton, Biden, Pelosi and MSNBC - what a cabal!

Let me make myself clear -Oh God…dear God, please….please do.
- humanitarian aid to Venezuela is fine and should be encouraged.That’s a sensible statement and you are making yourself clear so far.
A military coup is another thing altogether. And that is exactly what is happening here.
Searching back through history we find that Napoleon Bonaparte used his military to overthrow the five-member Directory that ruled France. I will not bore you ny explaining the actions involving Francisco Franco, Muammar al-Qaddafi, Idi Amin and ugusto Pinochet but I am pretty safe in saying these are the 5 famous coups in history.
The appointment of Abrams is a prime indicator.Indicator that “they’re lying to us?” The discussion here is all about lying to us….not Abrams.
I have less than zero respect for those who join with Donald Trump, John Bolton, Elliott Abrams, Benjamin Netanyahu, Jair Bolsonaro, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, MSNBC...Hey, I hate to shock you sport. But I think it is safe for me to say that no one GIVES A SHIT about whom you do or do not have respect for.
Trump, Bolton, Biden, Pelosi and MSNBC - what a cabal!You really are going off the deep end to charge that these folks are “a secret political clique or faction.”
You obviously do not know that is the definition of a cabal.
