Trump’s Acceptance Speech

Listening to Mr. Trump:  If you take a look at the video, in the first five minutes he plays the god card and turns his bandaged ear to the audience time after time again, so that it becomes so noticeable. What is worse, listening to Mr.Trump, or to Zelensky? It is necessary to listen though in order to get a glimpse of what he is planning.

Nothing new – Iran is in the crosshairs, China is in the bullseye, zionism is better than good Italian ice cream. A few comments:

-’I will end every single international crisis that the current administration has created

-I think [Kim Jong-un] misses me

-We want our hostages back:  Donald Trump threatens Gaza: ‘We better get our hostages back before I assume office, or you will be paying a very big price.’  Whether it’s Trump, or Biden, or another Democrat, genocidal slaughter using US bombs will continue against the people of Gaza.  Trump or Biden, it does not matter, genocide has a green light.

-We’re gonna build an iron dome over our country  (Comment: perhaps he had not yet heard what the Houthis AND IRANIANS did.)

-Trump, about the Peace negotiations with the Afghanistan Taliban:
“He called me ‘your excellency.’ I wonder if he calls [Biden] ‘your excellency.’ I doubt it”


There is very little new here. The RoW faces a repeat of the previous Trump administration, because Trump is not able to understand that many of the ‘international crises’ were of his doing. I don’t see, intuit or sense a change. I don’t find an understanding that the problems are US Policy and not so much what he did, or what Biden or anyone else did.  It is systemic and long term.

THE US EMPIRE IS INCORRIGIBLE—Whether it’s Trump, or Biden, or another Democrat, genocidal slaughter using US bombs will continue against the people of Gaza.  Trump or Biden, it does not matter, genocide has a green light.

I want to add here a comment by the Chinese Foreign Ministry, before Trump’s acceptance speech. At the time of writing, it is not yet published on the site of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs but our trumpeting Global Times had an excerpt:

The US should immediately correct its wrongdoings, stop deceiving the world with lies, cease slandering and smearing other countries, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Friday commenting on the report of US Marine Corps’ release of official doctrine on how it employs deception.

The US should provide an explanation to the international community for spreading false information for its own benefit, said Lin, adding that the US should also provide an explanation for the serious harm caused to developing countries by its “deceptive” strategies.

From former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo publicly admitting that the US lied, cheated, and stole, to the recent disclosure of the Pentagon’s disinformation campaign against Chinese vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic, to the latest doctrine released by the US military titled “Deception,” who is spreading false information globally? Who is conducting cognitive warfare against specific countries? Who is engaging in cyberattacks and information warfare on an international scale, Lin asked.

The US is accustomed to pursuing its own interests in the name of the so-called international morality, spreading false information through deceptive propaganda, and using public opinion and cognitive warfare to suppress other countries, the spokesperson said.

He noted that the international community has seen through these tactics and remained vigilant against them. The era when the US could continue to lead the international community by deception is long gone, Lin stressed.

This is how the Chinese Foreign Ministry did a front-run on Trump’s acceptance speech.

In terms of Zionist Israel, Netanyahu canceled his trip to the US to speak before the House.  I believe that between now and the election, Netanyahu will do anything he can, to wait for Trump, as it is so that de facto Trump is taking over the presidential tasks and duties.


Finally, two comments from Mr. Lavrov’s presser after his speeches at the UN Security Council.

“After the United States and its allies imposed unprecedented sanctions on Russia, Iran, Venezuela, China and other countries, African and Latin American countries began to think about ways to protect themselves against such tantrums. After all, no one can be sure who the Americans will get angry at next.”

“The United States should simply accept the reality and stop claiming it will be in charge of everything everywhere.”

“Under our leadership The United States will be respected again and no nation will question our power, no enemy will doubt our might, our borders will be totally secure, our economy will soar … we will restore peace and harmony all throughout the world.”  Trump.

He continues to list the wars and threatening wars and of course, he will solve it all.  If we can only do what Mr. Lavrov says: “The United States should simply accept the reality and stop claiming it will be in charge of everything everywhere.”

Trump started in savior mode and continued in savior mode.  But he has it in for Iran.  His administration will tell every country that if they buy from Iran, they will never do business in the US and he will put tariffs of 100% on every product.  He brings the old ‘Iran is close to having a nuclear weapon’ bugbear.   As I said, it is the same, just expressed kindly while turning a bandaged ear to the MAGA spectators.  Trump is not going to accept a ‘no’ from anyone else in this world of ours.  One tries to remain calm, but the strike at Mexico is completely warlike.  No green cars, factory being built and operated in Mexico will attract 100 to 200% tariffs.  I did tell you it is just the same – The China Virus gets its turn.

Trajectory to Armageddon [i]
The End of the West or the End of the World?

Introduction

Today, I want to discuss some rather depressing issues. I have had them on my list for some time, and now I decided to write about them. The topic is essentially what is currently at stake in Ukraine for all parties involved.

And I’m certainly going to touch upon several topics which might be very concerning, depressing, and certainly – unpleasant.

However, we should all be aware of these things because their effects and consequences will influence our lives and, in some cases, end them.

The Stakes are High

Those who have followed my blog for some time know what is at stake. I’m going to summarize it here briefly. 

For some time, there has been a window to contain the Ukraine conflict and end it there. This was the case until the Istanbul negotiations eventually failed.

Much of what we will discuss in this article will deal with the number of Russian casualties, as alluded to in the introduction. Russia suffered a horrendous number of dead soldiers within the first few weeks of the conflict, maybe up to 10,000. That’s the price of big arrows on modern battlefields with full intelligence/information/reconnaissance/artillery/drone coverage of the battlefields.

However, (up to) 10,000 dead is still a price that would have been worth paying to achieve the goals in Ukraine without going into a full-scale war. Had there been an agreement in Istanbul that would have terminated the conflict, ensured the rights of Russians in Ukraine, and kept Ukraine out of NATO and NATO out of Ukraine, one could remotely argue that “it was worth it.”

We all know what happened instead. As with all agreements that are not guaranteed with a gun on the West’s head, the West will ignore or scrap it at will. As happened with the Istanbul agreement.

What followed was the beginning of a full-scale land war in Ukraine. I classify it as a Russian civil war. Almost all the territory of the so-called “Ukraine” is Russian historic territory, including the people living there. Decades of brainwashing by “the West” transformed many people of these territories into Russia-(self)-hating zombies. Congratulations. Now, Russia is essentially fighting itself on its own territory.

If Russia wins, Russia loses. If Russia loses, Russia (obviously) also loses. How can you win against yourself? It (Western cultivated Nazism) is like cancer. It spreads everywhere until the host is dead if you don't stop it. What Russia is currently doing, explained with an analogy, is hammering with a little hammer for weeks on its hand, until the hand is eventually smashed and falls off on its own. Does Russia win in this case? This is a rhetorical question.

But what does this have to do with what is at stake in Ukraine? It is all about demography and losses. I think we all can agree that the “Ukrainian” idea is currently being killed on the territory of the so-called “Ukraine.” What is currently being done to Ukraine on behalf of the West and executed by the traitorous leaders of this artificial entity is essentially the extermination of Ukraine’s population. There is no turning back and no relief. More about that later.

Nevertheless, the war is also a burden on Russia in terms of demographics. President Putin is doing everything he can to stimulate the birth rate in Russia. On the other hand, we have the disaster in Ukraine. Up to two million people could be processed through the war during its duration, provided it does not expand. At the same time, Russia urgently needs people to keep its industry and economy running. Lastly, children are needed to keep the population growing and the social system viable.

Since most Russian males become fathers very late in their lives, we have the following problem: Hundreds of thousands of males are going to war. According to an interview given by President Putin, Russia lost up to 80,000 people. This is horrific.

If we look at that figure not with emotions but from a national standpoint, then we can assume the following: Most of these people might not have been fathers yet when they died. This means that from a national and demographic, maybe also macroeconomic point of view, their lives and birth were in vain. If it had been women, it would have been far worse. However, the highest purpose for people from a demographic and national point of view is to have two or more children. Dying without any children is a catastrophe.


Like a giant malignancy, the West detonated a process that may go on festering for generations.—Ed.

Don’t get me wrong. I intentionally ignored emotions here to explain the rational point of view. It is important to understand that fact to understand some actions that could result from this. President Putin, in particular, is a person who reasons, and this is precisely his thinking pattern. Therefore, it is important to understand this perspective, whether you agree with it or not.

Now that I have laid some groundwork, we can conclude the following :

  1. If Russia loses this war, the Nazi virus/cancer would spread forcefully within Russia and destroy it. Don’t underestimate this angle. It is very much a possible scenario in case of a military defeat for Russia.

  2. This leads me to point two. Everyone knows Russia will not be militarily defeated, but it might be internally defeated. I think there is a certain threshold of dead Russian soldiers in this war that is tolerable to the Russian leadership. If I were forced to guess, I would say the number is around 300,000 men. But that is pure speculation.

    Suppose the number gets too high and the Russian leadership contains the war on Ukrainian territory with rather a soft approach. In that case, we will see riots and mass protests across Russia against the current Russian approach. I’m not talking about several hundred woke, drug-addicted zombies protesting on behalf of the CIA. I’m talking about protests that could get out of control, eventually leading to Russia's end.

I will continue this topic later.

This is what is at stake for Russia. In other words, if Russia loses too many people in Ukraine or loses militarily, then it would be the end of the Russian Federation. The West knows this, and the gamble is that Russia will not end the world in the process, just like the Soviet Union was dismembered without taking the world down in the process.

In other words, The West hopes Russia feels some common responsibility for humankind.

Frankly, It doesn’t.

Equilibrium of Forces

There is something good in the things that are happening. A mighty counter-alliance to the West is forming. I’m not talking about BRICS. Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea are the fundamental parts of this new MILITARY alliance.

This alliance aims to ensure the members' safety and the safety of other nations that might be attacked “democratically” if they don’t obey the West’s “Rules-Based International Order.” Democratically, because the civilian population that supports the government would be killed by democratic bombs. After that, there would be a solid democratic majority by the opposition. You see? Democratic bombing works! Just kill those disagreeing people, and the democratic results change in your favor.

This alliance is needed as well as BRICS:

  • The military arm will create an “Equilibrium of Forces” like in the Cold War days. Such an equilibrium is needed to ensure that international agreements will be adhered to. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the West did what it wanted because it couldn’t be held accountable by anyone. Who cares about agreements and laws if nobody can punish you? Or at least stop you from committing your crimes. This deterrence will be restored now. It is already almost restored.

  • BRICS is needed to offer an alternative financial and trade system that allows any nation to trade freely globally without the possibility of being sanctioned.

The defeat of the West on the battlefield is a prerequisite to a robust military deterrence. When Ukraine falls, the West’s military dominance will be buried in the history books.

Now we can finish the question about what is at stake: everything for Russia and everything for the West. The winner takes all, and the loser will essentially disintegrate.

This is also the reason why there will be no actual negotiations. All parties will pretend to appease the public by saying they want to negotiate. And perhaps, at times, there even will be some official negotiations. Again, only for the global public. The war will be fought until either Russia disintegrates (and kills us all) or until the West disintegrates.

Now, the question arises whether the West would kill us all if it goes down. In my opinion, it will not. Of course, I could be fatally wrong here. And here is why I think it won’t: Russia is acting from a national [existential] point of view. If there is no Russia, no one else should be there. That is literally what President Putin stated in an interview. The West is controlled by its oligarchs. And they are solely interested in their wealth. They would never approve of a situation where they would lose their power and wealth. And Armageddon would be such a situation. These Oligarchs will gradually withdraw only when there is no other possibility to avoid the nukes from flying. This is evident.

Collectivism vs. individualism.

The End of “Ukraine”


As initially stated, there was a Window to avoid letting things escalate into an “all-or-nothing” scheme. The negotiations are in Istanbul.

Since this opportunity has been missed, there is now only one possible outcome: the end of the “Ukrainian” idea. Since Ukraine will be defeated physically and comprehensively, it is to be assumed that the Russian language will be the dominant language again. The Ukrainian language will be there for some decades until it fades away.

As I stated many times, most parts of Ukraine will become part of Russia again. However, some parts might be left for Ukraine’s neighbors as a poison pill for the EU and NATO. Many central and Western European nations would have issues if Poland, Romania, and Hungary incorporated former territories of Ukraine. This is part of several poison pills that Russia and its allies are preparing to feed the West to help it disintegrate without a World War.

I want to be very clear here: There will be NO parts of Ukraine left that are Ukraine. Everything will be shared by agreement among Russia, Romania, Hungary, and Poland. A Rump Ukraine would be impossible. Why? First, it would keep the Ukrainian idea alive in the territory of former Ukraine. This could be used to reactivate Nazism, even in 100 years. Moreover, if this tiny rump Ukraine, however tiny it might be, would NOT join NATO, then it could always serve as a tool of plausible deniability to launch attacks and subversion against Russia and former parts of Ukraine, which are then parts of Russia.

In other words, after this war, everything that is Ukraine today needs to be either Russia or NATO. And since Russia will certainly incorporate the biggest share of Ukraine, only former territories of the neighbors can be given to these neighbors (therefore NATO). This puts the MAD (mutually assured destruction) responsibility on the future owners of the respective territories.

So, there will not be a thing like “Ukraine” anymore. And here is where the problems start. The West has already incorporated millions of Ukrainians (Russians!). This helped solve their demography problems for several years and provided a cheap workforce. Remember the “Ostarbeiter” in WW2?

When Ukraine starts to collapse, then there will be several more millions of Ukrainians that will flee to either Russia or the West. This will happen at the latest in the Winter since there will be no heat or electricity. Or very little.

The problem is that there will be a huge diaspora of “Ukrainians” in the West. So the Nazi ideology will be cultivated in the West by the Ukrainian diaspora, and the idea of Ukraine and Stepan Bandera will be further advanced.

And from this pool of people, the West is going to recruit as many saboteurs as needed to conduct “lone wolf” sabotage and terrorist acts within Russia forever. Or to conduct subversion and agitation of the Nazi ideology on the territory of Ukraine.

And Russia certainly cannot take care of thousands of people in the West, and it cannot start a nuclear or conventional war because of this, depending on the severity of the actions.

Hence, the actions of the West need to be ended. But how?

I often think about Andrei Martyanov's words, which I heard more than a year ago. Russia is currently setting up tribunals to be held after the war. All the crimes of the West and the Ukrainian Nazis will be exposed there. But how do we hold the responsible people accountable if most of them live in the West anyway? And those who are not living in the West will certainly be evacuated to the West, if possible, when Ukraine starts to collapse.

As I said, I thought about how they should be punished for many months. And I think I have an idea of what that might look like. I will discuss that in the following section.


The End of the West 

We know that BRICS and the new military alliance of several BRICS states aim to ensure the safety of many countries from democratic bombing and democratic genocide. BRICS itself will ensure that these countries can no longer be sanctioned. At this point, the West will become superfluous. It will no longer be needed, resulting in the West's collapse.

New land-based trade corridors will be established in Europe through Russia (former Ukraine) and Serbia. Europe will be connected with Asia and the new trading spaces by land.

This, of course, will trigger a full-blown collapse of the current American-led puppet parties and politicians in the EU, which currently get changed like underwear because the public doesn’t want them. Considering how many are currently wasted, I wonder where they will train and find so many puppets. It doesn’t matter who you vote in. All parties that are allowed to win without being “Fico-ed” are forced to plug into the NATO/EU/Ukraine above everything nonsense.

For European countries to be able to plug into the BRICS financial and trade system, they will eventually need to drop their imperial governments and extradite all people prosecuted by the war-criminal tribunals in Moscow, Mariupol, and especially Odessa. That’s how they will be held accountable. Still, I have a hard time imagining how this could work with the United States.

I think, and I have written it numerous times, that Europe will go through an ugly period of collapse before all of this can happen. A collapse that will be necessary to squeeze all of the imperial WEF-trained puppets out of the European countries and decolonize them. A collapse that, from my point of view, will be 80% economic and 20% kinetic. I mean civil wars and wars between European nations amounting to 20% of the overall collapse damage.

BRICS will be on the sidelines, waiting and watching until the fighting (economic and kinetic) is over and governments are in place that will agree to the conditions to plug into BRICS. These conditions will most likely include demands to extradite the people responsible for events against Russia.

I’m afraid the Americans will have even bigger trouble by 2030. That is the forecast of the Chinese intelligence services. By 2030, the American problem will have solved itself without intervention.

As a European, I pray that our governments will do the right thing and consider their interests, exit the escalation spiral, and unilaterally make peace and conduct business with Russia. Some countries like Hungary and Slovakia are already trying. I don’t want to see downfall and war here again.


Pushing the Button

Now, we often hear that Russia is ready to use tactical nuclear weapons. Moreover, President Putin himself said that before Russia is defeated or gets into the process of disintegration, it would blow up the rest of the world and go as a martyr to heaven. Moreover, it was stated in a discussion between me and Russian Colonel (Reserve) Vladimir Trukhan that in case of a large-scale NATO air attack against Russia, Russia would use nuclear-tipped air defense means. What does this mean? And why?

I will go through these questions, but before, I will add another angle. There is constant talk that if the West does X (e.g., strikes on Russian airfields), then Russia would have the right to strike at NATO territory.

That’s right, and the rhetoric is reasonable as well. So many things have happened already that would, according to international law, allow immediate Russian counterstrikes against Western targets. These counterattacks never took place and hopefully will never take place. Now, we can move to the “Why” question.

In case it is absolutely clear to Russia (President Putin) that there will be a big conventional war with NATO OR that more than the threshold of dead Russian soldiers is reached (my estimation is 300,000), President Putin will make sure that such a war does not happen. How?

Read very carefully:

In case an event takes place that indicates to President Putin that World War 3 is inevitable or that more than X Russians are already dead, the following will happen: Russia will fire all available carriers of tactical nuclear weapons across Europe and target the whole of NATO military infrastructure and civilian infrastructure that is used to support the military. In other words, it will atomize NATO in Europe. Knowing the consequences. Now, there will be a very short period in which NATO, or rather the United States, can decide whether they are willing to retaliate or back down and leave. If the indication is that the United States is willing to retaliate, Russia is going to preemptively fire off everything it has against all Western affiliated countries. Knowing full well that the US would do the same and that this would be the end for all of us, Russia fully accepted it. Amen.

Now the question is, of course, Why?

This question is very easy to answer for anyone who has lived in a warzone, seeing suffering (children), dead(children), starvation, rape, etc.

I won’t pretend that I went through this since I didn’t. But most of my family, including my own brother and my wife, did. So, I know a thing or two about war.

So, suppose President Putin concludes that there will be a world war. In that case, it has the following implications: Death, sorrow, destruction, violence, starvation, rape, etc., for several years until one of the parties involved prevails. At this point, the weaker party would start its nuclear arsenal, and everyone would die.

It is rational, straightforward, and an act of mercy to jump over all of these years of human suffering and directly trigger the end and go to heaven/hell, depending on where you belong.

So, my advice is the following: I know many of you can’t wait to see Russian strikes against NATO as a retaliation for XYZ. But this is a call for your death. If it happens, then it is almost certain that we will all die. I know there is a little window of hope that the Americans would back down after such strikes because their Oligarchs would want to survive, but there are too many uncertain factors to rely on such a hope.

The way to win for Russia is to defeat Ukraine (NATO) on the territory of former Ukraine, feed NATO and the EU with poison pills, and develop the military and economic alliances to make the West superfluous and thereby make it collapse internally.

Then everything that we see now in Ukraine, which Russia is doing to itself (Ukraine), will be seen in the West as well.

And again, as a European, I’m in horror when thinking about that. I am far from being happy about these prospects.

The next articles will be positive again, but today I’m going to leave you with the following homework if you live in the West:

Take a walk in your town and observe the big, strong, and dumb-looking people around you. And try to guess which one(s) of them will drag you into forced conscription for your civil war by 2030.

Venezuela Elections

President Maduro surrounded and literally supported by the Venezuelan people.


Venezuela will have an election on July 28. We will cover that election here as Venezuela, home of the Bolivarian Republic, has been under unprecedented sanctions for years and this will be used again for more pressure. Venezuela is the country that has shown how to withstand hegemony.  This country will thrive if the destabilization ends and if they can have the income from their oil industry and tourism. Just recently Hurricane Beryl wreaked havoc.


Here is some background: Venezuela run-up to elections .. as usual, in the crosshairs

Some older historical facts:

– Unlike the United States, Venezuela has Ratified all Major Human Rights Treaties, Has Incorporated Their Provisions, including Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, into the Bolivarian Constitution and Has Shown a Commitment to Implement Them.

– The Venezuelan government ratified the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) in 1969 and the Venezuelan populace incorporated their provisions into the Bolivarian Constitution, adopted overwhelmingly (72%) by referendum in 1999.

instituting a series of programs and “Misiones”, guaranteeing education, health care and low
cost food to the previously excluded poor.

The Russian Northern Fleet’s ships that made a call to Venezuela on July 2 as part of a long-distance voyage left today, but the reason for showing their flag is somewhat of a warning.  Russia and Venezuela are close and the Russian small fleet gave a visual reminder of this fact.  Venezuela is not alone!

Over the past century, oil has played an outsize role in Venezuela. It is no wonder that the United States, in its never-ending regime-change plots, chose to target this crucial sector with crushing sanctions.

The following video examines the crude reality of coercive measures against the Venezuelan oil industry.



Despite the sanctions, the Venezuelans are approaching the election with their usual effervescence. Everyone has street parades (See Brian Mier’s video at the end). They even cast mock ballots in a rehearsal vote with 3,000 polling stations opened for voters. The dry-run allows for citizens to familiarize with the voting process. The process additionally illustrates the mobilization capacity of competing political organizations. Each time the leftists win, the collective West cries election frauf and irregularities. This pomp and circumstance where most everyone is welcome and it turns into a Grand Fiesta, is one of the ways that this accusation is overcome.

In contrast, the major opposition alliance that is running candidate Edmundo González did not emphasize participation in the electoral dry-run. There were reports that opposition voters were confused about who was the candidate, some saying they wanted to vote for María Corina Machado, who does not appear on the ballot. She was thrown out by the Electoral Commission because she took part in the previous attempt to destabilize the Venezuelan government.

As we saw in Iran with their elections just completed, Venezuela is pretty serious about their elections. The election rehearsal also allowed international observers to tour voting centers and witness the country’s safeguards in action. Yet, they uninvited the European Commission because they started lecturing. The electoral commission said they could do well without the EU’s interference in the country’s affairs. [Not to mention the EU is not representing truly sovereign nations, but US vassal states.—Ed] The US-based Carter Center accepted an invitation by the country’s electoral authority to monitor the vote and announced that it would send a “technical election observation mission” to Venezuela. The Carter Center has observed numerous elections in the South American country, most recently in 2021. The institution said its assessment “will be based on the national legal framework as well as regional and international human rights obligations and standards for democratic elections.”

The CNE has extended invitations to a wide range of observation missions as well as more than 250 individuals, including the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), the African Union and an electoral expert team from the United Nations (UN).

This came as a surprise. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro announced on July 2nd, that his government would reopen direct talks with the United States.

“I have accepted the proposal of the US government to resume direct talks and we will debate and seek new agreements so that what was signed in Qatar is fulfilled,” said Maduro during his weekly television program.

The announcement that the Venezuelan government had accepted the US’ offer to restart negotiations, set to begin Wednesday, comes only a few weeks before presidential elections on July 28.

They know who is going to win. I am a man of dialogue and I want respect for Venezuela, its democracy, its people through dialogue,” said Maduro.

“I want to overcome this conflict of brutal and sterile confrontation with the north, it is up to them to comply,” he added. Maduro said that Venezuela’s sovereignty and independence would be front and center.

The Venezuelan president’s mention of Qatar is an allusion to previously unacknowledged talks with US officials.

The Spanish newspaper El País first reported Qatar-mediated talks between the US and Venezuela in June of last year, with former White House advisor Juan González leading the US delegation.

In October the US announced the temporary suspension of unilateral coercive measures after the signing of an agreement, known as the Barbados Accords, between the government and the US-backed opposition establishing certain conditions for the elections. The Biden administration later reintroduced wide-reaching economic coercive measures against Venezuela’s oil industry.

Qatari mediation reportedly played a role in the prisoner swap between the US and Venezuela, which saw the release of government envoy Alex Saab in exchange for several US nationals detained in Venezuela, including two former Green Berets who took part in an attempted paramilitary invasion.

Maduro stated that the US had failed to live up to the commitments it made with the help of Qatar, including the full removal of economic sanctions, and that the dialogue would be public moving forward. The president said that the US had been requesting direct talks for two months and that negotiations will be led by National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez alongside Miranda state Governor Héctor Rodríguez.

US State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel said Tuesday Washington welcomes “dialogue and good faith” but did not explicitly confirm direct talks with Caracas instead that they would work with the “international community and democratic actors” in Venezuela. He repeated the US government’s call for the “full implementation” of the Barbados Accords. You can see there is no goodwill expressed here, but only that the US will continue with their pressure campaign.

Code Pink is usually on the streets, saying the US will use the elections or specifically a win for Maduro to again attack the government of Nicolas Maduro.

Here’s what you need to know to oppose imperialist propaganda.
