While the corporate media keeps *falsely* claiming that Venezuela is denying humanitarian aid, Caracas' health ministry just worked with the UN and Red Cross to bring in some actual aid.

Venezuela only denied Trump's fake Trojan Horse regime-change "aid."
While illegal, crippling US sanctions are preventing Venezuela from importing medicine and medical equipment (killing average Venezuelans), Caracas just worked with the Red Cross to deliver medical supplies
There was no medicine in the fake "humanitarian aid" convoy sent by Trump to Colombia in February as part of a failed coup attempt against Venezuela.

The right-wing Venezuelan opposition then set their own fake US "aid" convoy on fire—while blaming Maduro

Madness: Jeff Bezos' Wash Post full on neo-McCarthyite, fearmongering about YouTube's algorithm promoting an informative interview by award-winning journalists Chris Hedges & @AaronJMate because it's on RT.

YT should apparently only promote US propaganda
washingtonpost.com/technology/201…
I'm not exaggerating: Jeff Bezos' Wash Post treats only US corporate media outlets as "verified news sources"

The Post, owned by the richest capitalist on Earth (and Amazon has a big CIA contract), wants YouTube to further repress foreign media and act as a mouthpiece for the US
Jeff Bezos' Washington Post is now strongly implying that "Russians" should not be able to use YouTube the same way as everyone else.

Apparently only Americans can fully use YT.

(Also note how the US corporate media never distinguishes Russian civilians from their government.)

Unfortunately @JeremyScahill's claim that @TheIntercept has published "a wide range of voices on" Syria is completely false. 99% of its reporting on Syria has been cartoonishly pro-opposition (sometimes even more so than mainstream corporate media).
An editor of @TheIntercept is a hardcore sectarian who called Shia Muslims "dogs," smears everyone as "Assadists," shared a Salafi rebel propaganda video calling Hezbollah "the party of Satan," cheered at the murder of Qadhafi, & called Chávez a "dictator"
The Intercept collaborates with NED-funded regime-changers at Bellingcat and Qatar's Al Jazeera, and its articles on Syria quote fake "experts" like Charles Lister & fake government-funded opposition "NGOs" like SNHR, while its Twitter account retweets neocons like Michael Weiss.

.@Amnesty has blatant double standards: The leading "human rights org" has not said a word about the re-imprisonment of Chelsea Manning, who is being held in solitary confinement (torture), but it is exaggerating the case of an imprisoned Iranian activist
medium.com/@delshademami/…
Leading "human rights organization" @Amnesty International has been completely silent as Chelsea Manning @xychelsea has been re-imprisoned and put into torturous solitary confinement.
.@Delshade wrote: "Amnesty International’s double standard is a huge disservice to the notion of human rights as it has made a tool out of this org, like the corporate media, working only to serve the economic benefit of certain governments, mainly the US"

Venezuela has emerged from the US attacks on its electrical system.
By @MaxBlumenthal
Terrible news for Little @marcorubio @AmbJohnBolton & Guadio’s gang, but great news for the people of Caracas:

The city’s free Metro system is coming back on line as Venezuela recovers from its curiously timed electricity outages.
