Encourages Trump to Enhance the Venezuelan Death Toll
The cat's back when it comes to Trump's return to the White House, and the Western media and Democratic Party's puppet show ain't changing. From criminalizing immigrants to reclaiming Washington's "backyard" south of the Rio Grande, they're happy as clams to normalize or even outshine Trump.
US imperial grand strategy reigns supreme, baby, from mercilessly bombing Palestine to carving up the global South. And let's not forget Venezuela, where the US empire's favorite rag, the New York Times, is clutching pearls and yelling, "Depose Maduro!"
Columnist Bret Stephens bellows about military intervention, calling it "overdue, morally right and in our (US) national security interest." When you're a self-described "warmongering neocon," anything that boosts national security is tops.
Funnily enough, Stephens overlooked some salient historical facts, like how the CIA trafficked cocaine during the 1980s while in Iran/Contra cahoots. Today, the majority of drug trafficking snakes its way through Pacific routes, not the Gulf of Mexico.
The report on US-bound cocaine flow that Stephens waved around? Turns out it's less than 10% from Venezuela, with the rest flowing through US-allied countries. Hell, even the US government participates in drug perpetuation, supporting drug puppet regimes in Afghanistan and Honduras.
But hey, it's more convenient to accuse top Caracas officials of "narco-terrorism" without a shred of evidence. Just like old times, corporate media swallows US officials' word without questioning a thing.
Sanctions "didn't work," Stephens moans. Nah, they killed tens of thousands and caused a mass migration, but I guess that's just more fodder for the military adventure Stephens is proposing.
It's a wonder how the media can claim the sanctions only hurt Maduro and his allies when they're the main cause of economic hardship and migration. Like clockwork, support for economic terrorism has been widespread across the political spectrum for years.
Then there's the Iran bogeyman. Always handy for scaring the masses into buying into warmongering. The muffled rumors of Iran covertly shipping military equipment to Venezuela can't be confirmed, but hey, it'll sell newspapers!
So, what's next? Stephens provides something for everyone, even the bleeding-heart "liberals" giggling about Maduro's supposed electoral shenanigans. But come on, folks, US imperialist intervention always hinges on denying the Bolivarian government's democratic credentials while advancing fascism at home and genocidal war across the globe.
Y'all think Venezuela's like Panama, waiting to be swooped in on by the US military and its Zionist colonial outpost? Hell no, that's stupid. Venezuela's had 25 years to prepare for a "prolonged people's war of resistance."
If the US and Israel couldn't defeat the Palestinian resistance after nearly 500 days of genocidal war, an asymmetric conflict against a larger, stronger force in a much larger territory, well, let's not even go there.
It's time, people, to dismantle the US industrial-scale death machine, and that means taking down propaganda Tools like the New York Times. Shout it out loud: DEPOSE the New York Times' Goebbelsian propaganda!
