"Within a day or two, we’re going to see a major series of demonstrations all across Venezuela tomorrow intended to convince the military, among others in Venezuela, that the overwhelming majority of the people of the country want the Maduro regime thrown out. --@AmbJohnBolton
"That’s what we hope and expect to do."
HH: Now Ambassador Bolton, your yellow pad the other day said, “5,000 troops to Colombia.” Has an Army combat brigade been ordered to Colombia or already there?
@AmbJohnBolton : (laughing) You know, when we say all options are on the table
we want to keep it at that level. And going beyond that, I think, would be imprudent, as George H.W. Bush would say." --@AmbJohnBolton hughhewitt.com/national-secur…

“Mr. Maduro was re-elected to a second term last May in a sham election in which opposition candidates were barred from running, and starving Venezuelans were extorted for votes. He has quashed dissent and demanded loyalty through coercion and intimidation nytimes.com/2019/02/02/opi…
Meanwhile, our economy has crumbled under corruption. Hyperinflation has meant prices double nearly every week. A carton of eggs costs more than the monthly minimum wage. More than three million people have fled our country. Venezuelans have had enough.
On Jan. 23, millions of us took to the streets around the country to oppose Mr. Maduro and to support our Constitution, our National Assembly and our new interim president, Mr. Guaidó.”

A small thread, about a large subject: The National Emergencies Act. About the only coherent discussion about it and whether it can be used by @realDonaldTrump for border barrier construction has come from @marklevinshow and me. I asked @JoniErnst about it this AM. 1
HH: “If they do not reach an agreement, I’ll come back to that, and the President uses a declaration of emergency, some are opposed to that, because they consider it unconstitutional. 2
I’ve looked at the law. It’s not, actually. It’s not a Youngstown Sheet and Tube sort of situation there. There’s a law on the books that has been used repeatedly in the past. Would you support the President using a national declaration in the event that no deal emerges? 3

"HH: Have you talked w/@realDonaldTrump about Venezuela?
@SenTomCotton: We have spoken about it, yes.
HH: How about with your friend, @SecPompeo and @AmbJohnBolton ?
TC: Spoken with the major players in the administration as well as my colleagues in the Senate about the issue.
This is something I think where almost everyone is on the same page. And frankly, a lot of Democrats are supporting this decision as well." hughhewitt.com/senator-tom-co…
HH: You have a seat on the Armed Service Committee. Yesterday, Ambassador Bolton walked into a briefing with a yellow pad that had on it 5,000 troops to Colombia. Are you informed of that?
TC: That was an interesting moment, Hugh. I’ll leave it at that.

THREAD - Let's talk about the history of U.S.-backed coups and regime change, especially in Latin America. It's history far too many commentators seem to have forgotten in the current case of Venezuela. I'm going to assemble some resources on the topic in this thread. 1/ #cdnpoli
"From 1898 to 1994, the U.S. government has intervened successfully to change governments in Latin America a total of at least 41 times. That amounts to once every 28 months for an entire century." John H. Coatsworth, Harvard Review of Latin America. revista.drclas.harvard.edu/book/united-st… 2/
"For decades, U.S. policies of military intervention and economic neoliberalism have undermined democracy and stability in the region, creating vacuums of power in which drug cartels and paramilitary alliances have risen." medium.com/s/story/timeli… 3/

Singing the Blues:
Taking Down an Insider Threat

"I had all of the advantages. I was already inside the network. No one suspected me. But they found my hack, kicked me off the network...

...and physically hunted me down."
Many pentests start from the outside, wanting to see how the perimeter might be breached.

This pentest started from the inside. My client wanted to assume they had already been breached, and, if breached, how far could an attacker go.

Could they stop me once I was inside?
So they snuck me in. Disguised me as a new employee. Gave me a work computer, an ID badge, an account in their system... hell, I even had a cubicle w/my assumed name on it.

The only person who knew who I really was was their CISO. Everyone else thought I was Jeremy in Marketing.

Q (Inaudible.)

THE PRESIDENT: Well, you’re going to have to see that. I have reports. And they have a lot of everybody in that group. It’s a horrible thing. And it’s a lot bigger than 5,000 people. And we got to stop them at the border.
And unfortunately, if you look at the countries, they have not done their job. Unfortunately, they have not done their job.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
