#VenezuelaAidLive is trending on Twitter in the USA as I write this, forced to the forefront of public consciousness and into everyones eyeballs by a concert staged by billionaire plutocrat Richard Branson. Bransons 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 Americas 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
Theyre lying to us about Venezuela. Anyone with access to alternative media has access to the fact that theyre 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 governments interventionism in Venezuela, you are a complete fucking moron.
Thats 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 dont care who gets their feelings hurt by my saying so. If youve been a longtime reader of mine and you still support Trumps 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 nations government, then my writing hasnt gotten through to you and you have gotten nothing out of it.
Ive 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 Obamas supporters did. Ask them why and theyll mumble something inarticulate about the absence of US boots on the ground (a point Obamas defenders also made about Libya and Syria) or about hating socialism, but in reality the reason they support Trumps 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 theyve 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 Obamas interventions but not during Trumps. 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 Obamas 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 administrations obvious lies and sociopathic interventionism in a sovereign nation. None.
Wise the fuck up, people.

You ask us not to believe what they say about Venezuela because you say theyre lying to us about Venezuela. Well, I will NOT believe you unless you post validated videos of convoys crossing the borders bringing in humanitarian aid to Venezuela, validated videos of ships unloading humanitarian aid at docks in Venezuela and validated videos of aircraft unloading humanitarian aid at the airports in Venezuela. Then and ONLY then will I believe YOU.
You say: In reality, the Venezuelan government has been taking in humanitarian aid from all around the world to help its people. I say show the reality of this and PROVE your charge.
You say: Anyone with access to alternative media has access to the fact that theyre lying to us about Venezuela. Since YOU have access to alternative media, then show us the links to prove theyre lying to us about Venezuela. Your links show us that Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves on planet Earth. Okay, accept that as a fact, but that in no way shows that Venezuela is receiving humanitarian because of that. What is shown about Venezuela oil is that it is grossly indebted to Russia and China for its current and future production.
Your bullshit link in no way PROVES your assertion that the Trump administration is openly interested in controlling that oil.Your other link to show that Elliott Abrams, who is spearheading this humanitarian aid initiative, has previously used humanitarian aid as a pretext for arming militia groups in Nicaragua only shows some guy on a blog making that CLAIM. Thats no proof of anything.
You still say: 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 governments interventionism in Venezuela, you are a complete fucking moron.
I have access to alternative media and I cannot find the facts of which you, the author, allege that are easily available to support your charges. But then I am an old man with poor eyesight so maybe I am missing them and someone can point them out to me if they find support for the authors claims.

If one is going to make this type of claim, then it better be qualified objectively because anyone coming away with the message that everything is just poochy in Venezuela is going to write off this entire article as BS because they do know that thing are in chaos there.
So they are lying about Maduro blocking aid coming into the country? Okay, maybe they are. But are they lying about the fact that the country is in dire need of aid? Here we have a country that, as claimed has all these wonderful natural resources, and it seems the author is implicitly agreeing that, in spite of that natural resource wealth, the country is suffering huge economic problems. Why is that? Could it be that Maduro is a lousy president who has instituted policies that have destroyed the economy?
It's one thing to say that the US should not be trying to install a puppet president there -- something I wholeheartedly agree with. But quite another to give the impression that Maduro is doing a fine job.

The U.S.-Venezuela Aid Convoy Story Is Clearly Bogus, but No One Wants to Say It
Elliott Abramsthe current quarterback of this latest affair in Venezuelaused humanitarian aid shipments to smuggle weapons to the Nicaraguas Contras in the 80s. Ultimately, these shipments allow for massive military buildups, without anyone in the media or Congress asking too many questions. After all, what kind of monster is opposed to helping starving people?
Its impossible to know if the current shipments to Venezuela are being used to transport weapons, although Venezuelan authorities say they have intercepted American arms shipments. But given the history of the U.S. (to say nothing of Abrams), and the fact that the Trump administration is openly calling for Maduros ouster while amassing forces along the Colombian border, its not exactly a long shot. Still, our political press dismisses the possibility as tin-foil hat stuff, at least in part because mocking wacky Latin American conspiracy theories is a mark of ones seriousness in foreign policy circles.
Elliott Abrams Admits His Guilt On 2 Counts in Contra Cover-Up
Elliott Abrams, the former Assistant Secretary of State who was one of the Reagan Administration's fiercest advocates of armed support for the Nicaraguan rebels, pleaded guilty today to two misdemeanor counts of withholding information from Congress about secret efforts to aid the guerrillas.
Mr. Abrams's guilty pleas and his promise to cooperate with Iran-contra prosecutors may open another avenue for investigators as they make what appears to be a final push to broaden their search for wrongdoing at the senior levels of the Reagan Administration.
The independent prosecutor, Lawrence E. Walsh, was forced on Sept. 16 to drop all charges against a main figure in the case, Oliver L. North, but he has made some headway in pursuing efforts to conceal the affair at the Central Intelligence Agency. The Abrams investigation takes Mr. Walsh for the first time into the Reagan State Department. Uncertainty About Knowledge

I stated:
I specifically stated that HIS link only shows some guy on a blog making that CLAIM and thats no proof of anything .meaning of course no PROOF of anything to do with current aid shipments to Venezuela.Did I specifically state that? Of course, I did.
Go to his link [https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1094335402612310016] and what you will see there is a twitter account for Michael Traceys blog. He describes himself as a roving journalist whose stated aim is to produce podcasts, videos, and other forms of journalism.
So, the author used some amateur want-to-be cub reporter who extracts two lines from the LA Times as his authority source to support his claim that: Theyre lying to us about Venezuela. Again, I say thats no proof of anything and agaom meaning theres no proof theyre lying to us.
Now you MUST ADMIT thats no proof that theyre lying to us because the first line in the second paragraph of your links truthfully states: Its impossible to know if the current shipments to Venezuela are being used to transport weapons.
I stand by the statement in my post.
I do however thank you for taking time to comment.
BTW, you continue to post some really onerously written shitty nebulous articles.

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.
Indicator that theyre lying to us? The discussion here is all about lying to us .not Abrams. 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. 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.

Show us the confirmation.
In this day and time with all the fake news how do you know this is even an actual photograph and not something photo shopped by an idiot who calls himself CNW @ConflictsW.
And tells us please, since you use him as an absolute trustworthy news authority, exactly who is CNW @ConflictsW and what are his credentials.
It is obvious to everyone with intelligence and uses critical thinking that you have an extreme problem verifying the truth before you so quickly accept what may be fake news planted propaganda.
