A full court press is taking place in Florida today (Presidents Day) with Republicans, Democrats, expatriates from Cuba and Venezuela and the fascist warmonger ministry of propaganda that constitutes the US media all denouncing Maduro and blaming him for the hardships imposed on Venezuelans by Washington’s sanctions and attacks on Venezuela’s currency . Even “liberal” NPR is reading off the same fascist warmonger script. NPR managed to report on Venezuela without mentioning the sanctions, without mentioning the theft of Venezuela’s gold foolishly entrusted to the US and British central banks, or the orchestrated protests funded by US-financed NGOs that are small in comparison with the crowds that support Maduro that are never mentioned in the US media. In other words, NPR is just another part of the whorehouse brigade.
What Americans forget, or never knew, is that the Cuban expatriates are the descendents of the corrupt Batista crowd that had looted Cuba for years and were thrown out of Cuba by Castro. The Venezuelan expatriates are from the rich elite that couldn’t adjust to Chavez running the country for the people instead of for them, and some of these expatriates were involved in the failed CIA coup against Chavez. All of these expatriates are nothing but shills for Washington’s takeover so that they can get back in on the take.
It is discouraging to see Trump, who the Democrats, the media, and the military/security complex are attempting to chase out of office participate in the attempt to chase Maduro out of office.
It is discouraging to see Washington’s vassals in Europe and in the Organization of American States throw all truth to the wind and line up with Washington’s lies.
It is discouraging that within Western civilization lies dominate all aspects of domestic and international policy. Truth has been stamped out.

Washington has already expressed its “full support” for the country’s defunct National Assembly as “the only democratically elected institution” and its 35-year-old US regime puppet posing as new “president”.

It is, sadly, pretty much what one has to expect of a dying Empire, slowly going mad, both collectively and it’s individual unelected “leaders”. The world is waking up, not just to what the American Empire truly is, but that they can, if they stand together, defeat it.
The Rulers of America and it’s “Deep State” are starting to scream irrationalities, like a poor old man with dementia seeing demons in the dark. Nothing to do but easy them out of their misery and protect ourselves.
I see the MSM keeps reporting that the Venezuelan Army is shooting unarmed civilians. Am I missing something here? Is my eyesight going ? The only presence I saw on Saturday was a thin line of riot equiped police forces on the Venezuelan side of the borders with Brazil and Colombia. I did not see any army resence there.
