Regime change fails: is a military coup or invasion of Venezuela next?

by Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers Part 3 - Is War Against Venezuela Coming? A military coup faces challenges in Venezuela as the people, including the military, are well educated about US imperialism. Tillerson openly urging a military coup makes it more difficult. The government and opposition recently negotiated a peace settlement entitled “Democratic Coexistence Agreement for Venezuela.” They agreed on all of the issues including ending economic sanctions, scheduling elections and more. They agreed on the date of the next presidential election. It was originally planned for March, but in a concession to the opposition, it was rescheduled for the end of April. Maduro signed the agreement even though the opposition did not attend the signing ceremony. They backed out after Colombian President Santos, who was meeting with Secretary Tillerson, called and told them not to sign. Maduro will now make the agreement a public issue by allowing the people of Ven

globinfo freexchange Another story of alleged 'Russian interference' in the 2016 US presidential election came on surface after Robert Mueller charged 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities that assisted Kremlin's efforts to interfere in the election through an information warfare. The report reveals the names of the alleged conspirators, but still, we should be very skeptical with any 'proof' about any case, coming from US agencies, as their capability to construct false evidence to promote certain agendas is recorded and well-known for decades. But even if we accept these findings, the report actually clarifies three basic facts: 1st, that Russia did not actually 'hacked' the election, that is, did not altered the result through any kind of direct voting fraud, as previous 'Russiagate' stories were indirectly implied. These individuals were trying to reinforce support for certain candidates though information campaign

Απ' όσα έχουμε ακούσει, με αφορμή το σκάνδαλο Novartis, το... "η σκανδαλολογία ποινικοποιεί την πολιτική ζωή του τόπου", είναι η πιο διαχρονική και επικίνδυνη "καραμέλα" τον δύο Διόσκουρων του μεταπολιτευτικού πολιτικού μας συστήματος. του Κωνσταντίνου Ταχτσίδη Πλάι του στέκονται επάξια το σημιτικό: "όποιος έχει στοιχεία να τα πάει στον εισαγγελέα" και το "Δεν προκύπτει κανένα στοιχείο πιθανής τέλεσης ποινικού αδικήματος από τους κυρίους Τσοχατζόπουλο και Παπαντωνίου […], που επί μήνες προσεβλήθησαν και διασύρθηκαν αδίκως", από το πόρισμα των Βενιζέλου - Λοβέρδου σχετικά με την υπόθεση των μιζών στα εξοπλιστικά, για την οποία ο Άκης Τσοχατζόπουλος καταδικάστηκε τελικά σε φυλάκιση. Το "να μην ποινικοποιούμε την πολιτική ζωή του τόπου", δεν είναι απλά στρουθοκαμηλισμός, όπως θα έλεγε κάποιος αφελής, αλλά εντάσσεται στις ορολογίες της μαφίας, όπως η "ομερτά".

Regime change fails: is a military coup or invasion of Venezuela next?

by Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers Part 2 - US Regime Change Tactics Have Failed In Venezuela The US and oligarchs continue their efforts to reverse the Bolivarian Revolution.
