#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.

Who is this commie puke?
Who 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.

My same response to you AGAIN is that you do NOT know that is a protester. You only know that someone says it is. You have no way of knowing that this is not a Maduro goon planted among the protestors for the prupose of making their movement look bad. That kind of shit is very common in situations like this and it happens all the time. You should know that and not need to be told. Your repetition showing the same thing over and over but from a different source means NOTHING. Give it up, I am. Bye Bye …
Video at link showing your Trumpanista Gorilla throwing a Molotov into the USAID truck. You can quit lying now, but you won't.

Sotiri Dimpinoudis Retweeted Sotiri Dimpinoudis For clarification the aid truck that was set on fire yesterday on the Francisco de Paula Santander #Ureñaof bridge in #Colombia has been an intentional act from protestors throwing Molotov cocktails towards the Venezuelan police officers into #Venezuela. - - - - - - - - - - #Update: Here you see the protestors throwing Molotov cocktails towards the Venezuelan police officers, and Venezuelan National Guards, into #Venezuela on the Francisco de Paula Santander #Ureña bridge in #Colombia. 1:35 PM - 24 Feb 2019 - - - - - - - - - - Same link, same source, same pic #Fact Checking this picture! No it was not gasoline it was water in the barrel, the protestor tried to put out the fire. The people claiming it was gasoline can go screw themselves. The Colombian police officers had give them the water to put the fire out. #Venezuela #Colombia - - - - - - - - - -
Yes the Trumpanistas started the truck on fire "accidentally" and then tried to put it out. Perhaps the can contained water. But they DID start the fire, and burn up the USAID truck. Ooops!

And this makes all your effort to place unmitigated blame of intentional destruction on the protesters lies. Ooops!
