This is a very good and timely point to make.

Look. It’s pay-walled. There is a chance this framing doesn’t reflect a piece that illustrates how obnoxious everything about this illegal incursion into Venezuela is, but it’s not looking likely. When capitalists show you who they are, believe them. Then start networking to fix the system.

Well SBSNews were quick to get on board. Maduro and his wife have been “captured” by the US, neatly legitimising the illegal kidnapping of the leader of a sovereign nation.

This was the Swiss version of the Grenfell Tower inferno. It was caused solely by allowing ultra-combustible building materials in the club ceiling, for which there is no excuse.

Seriously. Watch this on #Venezuela before you settle in to an opinion about Maduro. It’s fascinating. vt.tiktok.com/ZS5yYYnCK/

One time PR did good.
For the international audience, Australian Neo Nazis (NSN) have been wearing Helly Hanson jackets because of the initials. So local HH office signed on as a major sponsor of the Pride Regatta in Sydney & Aussies are getting around this meme: #NSNTasteTheRainbow 🤣 #auspol

We’re gathering at Flinders St Station in Melbourne #Naarm to protest this latest neocolonial disgrace by the West in #Venezuela . Self determination is crucial. The US has long led the West’s violent theft of other country’s oil, resources.
#Auspol must disconnect our foreign policy from rogue US.

When you are getting hot under the collar about how bad Maduro is, leave room for doubt. This often interesting influencer is married to a Venezuelan woman and his in-laws report a very different reality. I don’t know where the truth is, but the West does lie for profit. vt.tiktok.com/ZS5ULbpHr/

You must read Quinn Slobodian’s Crack-Up Capitalism to understand the stupidity and destructiveness inherent to the libertarian/techfash dreams of Special Economic Zones & Charter/Freedom cities.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

I wonder how many illegal acts of war Americans will commit before we stop calling them our greatest ally.

We should stand with the people of Venezuela, condemn Trump & demand he return their President. Sitting back & calling for “dialogue” is tantamount to applause. #Venezuela

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

Just got an email from NYtimes about the attack and kidnapping. No mention of this being illegal or an act of war. And that the times spoke with Trump. The press will be very casual about this.

If anyone tells you capitalism is a good system, walk away to resorting to violence.
And there ya have it…

Officials from top Wall Street firms will be traveling to Venezuela to investigate “investment prospects” of the country. “The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors.”

So the Macrons are probably safe from kidnap because Candace isn’t a core MAGA influencer + oil absence.

Will Venezuela be…mentioned to any foreign gov that considers eg taxing American fossil fuel ops in their jurisdiction?

Are the rest of the govs targeted by Trump’s crew ramping up ☢️ 💣 ?

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

This is the military industrial complex on steroids.
