Democratic transition is code for "destroy the Chavismo movement and the social gains made for the working class of Venezuela and reimpose neoliberalism and privatize everything and anything that western capitalists can make a profit from privatizing. <br /><br /></span><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></p><blockquote><span style="font-family: inherit;">When Juan Guaido, the leader of Venezuela’s national assembly and the man recognized by the U.S. and more than 60 other nations as the country’s interim president, attended the State of the Union address in Washington this year, he received a standing ovation from Democrats and Republicans. The next day, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi saluted his courage. “We believe the plight of the people of Venezuela is a challenge to the conscience of the world,” she said.</span></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>1.

In December, Venezuela is scheduled to hold a rigged election for the legislature that Guaido now leads. If Joe Biden wins the U.S. election in November, he will have to decide how best to respond to what happens in Venezuela a month later. Early signs are that he will do the right thing. Biden was the first Democratic presidential candidate in 2019 to support Guaido as interim president, tweeting three weeks after Guaido was recognized by Trump: “It is time for Maduro to step aside and allow a democratic transition.”</span></blockquote><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><br />1. Elections in Venezuela are already probably the most heavily monitored in the world. Successive reports from hostile sources such as the European Union and the Carter Center have strongly praised the election system (MacLeod, 2018: 60-1). Indeed, President Jimmy Carter (2012) stated that the Venezuelan elections were ‘the best in the world’. The 2018 elections in Venezuela were of note because they took place under a fractured US-supported opposition, with some boycotting the proceedings. The US also demanded opposition presidential candidate Henri Falcon stand down, in an attempt to delegitimize the vote before it started. However, the vote took place in complete normalcy and under the auspices of senior election officials from around the world, who testified to the election’s validity. The Latin American Council of Electoral Experts (CEELA), consisting of senior election co-ordinators, most from countries openly hostile to Venezuela, praised the ‘high level of security and efficiency’, noting that the vote reflected ‘the will of its citizens, freely expressed in the ballot box’ (CEELA, 2018). The African mission’s preliminary report characterized the election as a ‘fair, free, and transparent expression of the human right to vote and participate in the electoral process’, endorsing the proceedings’ ‘comprehensive guarantees, audits, the high-tech nature of the electoral process’ (Venezuelanalysis, 2018). Indeed, the strongest criticism the international election teams’ reports had was that some polling stations were not on the ground floor, meaning some voters had trouble accessing them. In comparison, the Colombian election, which pitted the conservative Ivan Duque against the leftist Gustavo Petro, took place under a heightened state of terror, with Petro narrowly surviving an assassination attempt, while many of his supporters were not as lucky. The incumbent conservative party under President Alvaro Uribe had overseen a massacre of over 10,000 civilians (Parkin, 2018). Colombia is also the most dangerous place to be a human rights defender or trade unionist, as many more unionists are killed inside Colombia than in the rest of the world combined (Human Rights Watch, 2008). This is partially because the military and paramilitaries have been trained by the US to see agitating for better wages as a communist conspiracy to destroy the country and to respond with a clenched fist. The paramilitaries – right-wing death squads linked to the government – issued generalized death threats to those who tried to vote for Petro. There was widespread vote-buying, with American observers, such as Daniel Kovalik, mistaken for voters and offered money to vote. There were over 1,000 official electoral fraud complaints (Kovalik, 2018). <br /><br /><a href="http://mediatheoryjournal.org/alan-macleod-manufacturing-consent-in-venezuela-and-colombia/">http://mediatheoryjournal.org/alan-macleod-manufacturing-consent-in-venezuela-and-colombia/</a></span><div><blockquote><blockquote><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><br /><br />Biden has been careful to say he does not support “<span style="color: black;"><a href="https://www.americasquarterly.org/article/updated-2020-candidates-answer-10-questions-on-latin-america/">regime change</a>”</span> for Venezuela, the phrase used to describe the George W. Bush administration’s approach to Iraq. But he has come close to endorsing the concept in substance. As he told the Americas Quarterly in March, Maduro “is a dictator, plain and simple, but the overriding goal in Venezuela must be to press for a democratic outcome through free and fair elections, and to help the Venezuelan people rebuild their country.”</span></blockquote><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">I mean, this speaks for itself. The government of Venezuela was democratically elected. The US wants to overthrow it because </span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/#" style="font-family: inherit;">Venezuela has the largest oil reserves on earth</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> and it's Bolivarian socialism is providing quite the example and inspiration for the rest of the South American continent, as is always the case with popular governments that aren't letting Washington extract their country's resources and labor for super profits. The cold warrior domino theory comes into play and the threat of a good example has to be eliminated, lest it spreads. </span></p><blockquote><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">As Noam Chomsky <a href="https://chomsky.info/unclesam01/">more eloquently said</a>: <br /><br /></span></p><blockquote><span style="font-family: inherit;">US planners from Secretary of State Dean Acheson in the late 1940s to the present have warned that "one rotten apple can spoil the barrel." The danger is that the "rot"-social and economic development-may spread.<br /><br />This "rotten apple theory" is called the domino theory for public consumption. The version used to frighten the public has Ho Chi Minh getting in a canoe and landing in California, and so on.<br />Maybe some US leaders believe this nonsense- it’s possible-but rational planners certainly don’t. They understand that the real threat is the "good example."</span></blockquote><p><span></span></p><a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /> </span><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-family: inherit;">To be clear: The elections in December will not bring Venezuela closer to democracy. They will have the opposite effect of purging Maduro’s opposition from the country’s parliament. That’s because the national assembly is supposed to choose the body to manage elections. The country’s supreme court usurped this power this year and appointed its own electoral commission of cronies. In addition, Venezuela’s top court has also disqualified the leaders of most opposition parties.</span></blockquote></blockquote><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /> </span><a href="https://venezuelanalysis.com/news/14905"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is just the opposite of the reality here.</span></a></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></p><blockquote><span style="font-family: inherit;">Biden has not gotten into much detail on this matter. But Trump’s special representative for Venezuela, Elliott Abrams, has. Speaking to reporters last week, he said the supreme court’s recent shenanigans are “yet another demonstration that with Maduro still in power and in a position to manipulate the elections and their outcome, there can be no free and fair election in Venezuela.”<br /><br />Abrams and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo were clear last week that the U.S. does not support any kind of negotiation with Maduro, other than one over the terms by which he would leave power. That stands in contrast to Trump’s <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">musings</a> in June that he may be open to meeting with Maduro, undermining the policy his administration had been building for the past 18 months. For now at least, it appears that negotiations with Maduro are off the table.</span></blockquote><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />How does one read this and not think Trump is a lesser evil here, if simply because of his incompetence? It would be better for the people of Venezuela if the US doesn't pull off this coup. With Biden's brain phasing in and out of our dimension, we can be sure he will play even less of a role in actually managing things as Trump does. With Kamala Harris as the VP pick, and the Clinton machines support for her, we can reasonably expect a return to the state department of HRC from Obama's first term. The same one that saw fit to bomb Libya for 7 months straight, and saw the popular leader of the country sodomized by bayonets from fascists labeled as rebels by western media, and then<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmIRYvJQeHM"> laughed about it on TV</a>. <br /><br />But I digress, back to the article. <br /></span><br /></p><p></p><blockquote>So Biden has an opportunity. He would weaken the dictator’s hand simply by saying that, if elected president, he would not recognize the results of the rigged election Maduro has planned for December. Such a message would be particularly effective for two reasons, one having to do with interpersonal relations and the other with international relations. First, Biden’s rejection of the upcoming elections could confirm Maduro’s already paranoid impression that the former vice president has long sought his demise. Back in 2015, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">Maduro</a> publicly accused Biden of fomenting regime change in Venezuela after meeting with leaders of Caribbean countries. At the time, Biden’s office said Maduro’s statements were an effort to distract Venezuelan citizens from the worsening political and humanitarian crisis in their country. Five years later, Biden could cause Maduro to doubt himself all over again.</blockquote><p></p><p> <span style="font-family: inherit;">This is just silly on multiple levels. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Maduro was right, the Obama admin. did in fact try to overthrow Maduro, or least set the pieces in motion to make it happen. </span></p><blockquote><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 30px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></p></blockquote><p></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">2. The US has already been trying to coup Maduro since Januaray of last year with each attempt failing more miserably than the last. I don't think the US continuing to not recognize Maduro would change anything. <br /><br /><span face="" style="background-color: white;"></span></span></p><blockquote><span style="font-family: inherit;">Second, and more important, a statement about the elections would strengthen the resolve of Venezuela’s neighbors that have supported Guaido’s elevation and Maduro’s ouster. For Latin American countries that have followed Trump’s lead, a faux election in December would be an attractive excuse to improve relations with Maduro’s regime. Biden should make it clear now that if he wins, they will be expected to stay the course that Trump set in 2019.</span></blockquote><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is just something the author is making up, based on the fantasy world crafted by the State Department and spoon fed by the mass media to citizens of the United States every day. The very fact that Maduro has lasted this long despite sanctions and coups and even assassination attempts shows it's going to take more effort than the US has been willing to put into regime change. If a military invasion wouldn't create backlash and instability it would have been done already. The whole point of the CIA and these NGO's and coups is to run the empire as smoothly with as little backlash and instability as possible. </span></div><div><p></p><p></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 30px 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></p></div>Outraged Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00559600291067752320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861021167855150227.post-38600025573348337532019-09-07T12:17:00.001-04:002019-09-07T12:17:02.182-04:00Why Socialism isn't Allowed to Work - The Philippines 1940’s and 1950’s<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PlGjKse4GeU" width="480"></iframe>Outraged Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00559600291067752320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861021167855150227.post-23706718682012210242019-08-18T10:03:00.001-04:002019-08-18T10:03:39.276-04:00Why Socialism isn't Allowed to Work- Greece 1947-1950's<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/st-pEwp3qqM" width="480"></iframe>Outraged Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00559600291067752320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861021167855150227.post-86150795519352125612019-08-13T05:59:00.001-04:002019-08-13T05:59:30.556-04:00Why Socialism Isn't Allowed to Work- Italy 1948<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OsAnSqI5bn8" width="480"></iframe>Outraged Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00559600291067752320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7861021167855150227.post-1183435209738863692019-08-11T20:24:00.000-04:002019-08-12T18:21:51.028-04:00Jefferey Epstein<span id="goog_45882164"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a><span id="goog_45882165"></span><style type="text/css">

<span class="s1">Current and former presidents aside, many powerful and wealthy people have been implicated in Epstein’s crimes.<br />
<br />
On June 30, 2008, after Epstein pleaded guilty to a state charge (one of two) of procuring for prostitution a girl below age 18,</span><span class="s2"><sup> </sup></span><span class="s1">he was sentenced to 18 months in prison. While most convicted sex offenders in Florida are sent to state prison, Epstein was instead housed in a private wing of the Palm Beach County Stockade and, according to the sheriff's Office, was after 3 and a half months allowed to leave the jail on "work release" for up to 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. This contravened the sheriff's own policies requiring a maximum remaining sentence of 10 months and making sex offenders ineligible for the privilege. He was allowed to come and go outside of specified release hours.</span><span class="s2"><sup> </sup></span><span class="s1"><br />
<br />
American officials across the political spectrum have demanded answers and investigations into Epstein's death.<br />
<br />
Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr Saturday afternoon demanding the Department of Justice investigate Jeffrey Epstein's apparent suicide in jail. Sasse also called for those who allowed Epstein's death to occur under their watch to be fired.<br />
<br />
“We need answers. Lots of them,” Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, tweeted.<br />
<br />
If nothing else, his life, death, crimes and unanswered questions are a perfect example of how wealthy powerful elites live in a different criminal justice system than the working class.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I am 26 years old. My country has been at war with no less than two nations or otherwise militarily involved which now just means bombing without an official declaration, for more than half of my life. Not that the two "official" wars of <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jul/07/blair-chilcot-war-in-iraq-not-blunder-crime">Iraq</a> or <a href="https://www.alternet.org/story/93473/afghanistan%3A_the_other_illegal_war">Afghanistan</a> have an actual declaration either. Its all under the now 17 year old <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorization_for_Use_of_Military_Force_Against_Terrorists">AUMF</a>. There is so much to unpack here, lets start with some fun facts to better acquaint ourselves with what is actually going on with our tax dollars in our name. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<a href="https://chomsky.info/19990404/"><br /></a>
On the oil reserves in the middle east during World War II <a href="https://chomsky.info/19990404/">“It’s a stupendous source of strategic power and the greatest material prize in world history.” “It’s strategically the most important part of the world”</a><br />
<br />
That is all to say that, whatever you think you know about US Foreign policy- its bullshit. Unless it begins with or contains something along the lines "geopolitical strategical importance and/or natural resources." That might be news to some, but it really shouldn't be, this is pretty out in the open if you pay even the slightest bit of attention to the news.<br />
<br />
U.S. soldiers are fighting and dying for the bottom line of fossil fuel companies. That's what this is. Its not about "spreading democracy" or "liberating" people in the region. <a href="https://www.ecowatch.com/bill-nye-climate-change-1986259055.html">In a day and age when we could convert the worlds energy grid to green technology in a matter of months, this whole ordeal of permanently occupying the middle east is just a bad joke. </a> It really is, there's just no other way to put it, you have a small number of incredibly powerful wealthy people who are playing a chess game with with planet and peoples lives simply so they can <i>keep</i> playing the chess game and maintain their status as players, while the rest of us are expendable pawns.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijackers_in_the_September_11_attacks">Do I need to even get into the fact that 15 out of the 19 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia? </a>Perhaps our 2nd closest ally after Israel? No, I don't think I need to, but that information exists as well, and it adds to this picture, this real world picture that the occupation of the middle east has nothing to do with 9/11 or Terrorism <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRbnPA3fd5U">(btw the US is the largest sponsor of state Terror and it has been since the end of WWII)</a> or freedom or democracy. It has everything to do with maintaining a monopoly on the worlds primary energy source as well as making sure the folks who run that monopoly fatten their wallets while they do so.<br />
<br />
I'm even sure where I'm going with this anymore, but lets recap if only for my own sake: We're there for oil. Everything else said besides that is a lie. Okay. Cool.<br />
<br />
So what can we do? We the people? Organize. Push renewable energy. Demonstrate against the wars. Vote for anti war candidates or at least people who will begin the process of unraveling the empire. Aside from being aware, make <i>other</i> people aware of this too. We live in an age where people have the entire accumulated knowledge of human kind on their tiny little fucking rectangle, I believe the colloquial term is "phone". Use that, educate yourself, educate others. Its going to take solidarity on a national if not global scale to undo these things we're doing but its the right thing to do, not just morally but fiscally as well.<br />

I'm going to stop here before I keep going into different tangents. Stay strong, keep fighting.Outraged Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00559600291067752320noreply@blogger.com2
