Looks pretty clearly like Guaido and John Bolton were duped by Venezuelan Defense Minister @vladimirpadrino and paid an embarrassing price for it wsj.com/articles/venez…
Walrus-like Chickenhawk @AmbJohnBolton may have hijacked Trump's foreign policy, but he's having a hard time getting the generals to go along with his plan to exchange the blood of American soldiers for Venezuela's vast oil wealth washingtonpost.com/world/national…
On April 30, @AmbJohnBolton and Juan Guaido enacted a plan to turn Venezuela’s military against President Nicolas @maduro_en.

Here’s how that worked out:
On April 30, @jguaido assured Washington that he had the support of the Venezuelan people and the country’s armed forces as he and his mentor, Leopoldo Lopez, launched another coup.

Here they are after it flopped. (Lopez soon fled into the Chilean embassy.)

John Sullivan instigated violence on January 6 and sold footage of it to CNN. A year later, as he continues to pose as a journalist in media interviews, and has so far avoided jail unlike many other rioters, there are still some unanswered questions. thegrayzone.com/2021/01/12/cha…
John Sullivan was granted a sit down interview with local Utah media today to defend his actions in the US Capitol. He claimed he was just “there to document history” and can’t wait to prove his innocence. kutv.com/news/local/jan…
Here’s John Sullivan’s contract with CNN, which did not do due diligence before hosting him on 1/6 and casting him as a courageous journalist. Prosecutors are seeking to seize these earnings from his bank account.

Neurotic shut-ins like Walker won't be happy until everyone is under de facto house arrest, actual prisoners are in cells 23 hrs w/o trial, govt's stop educating poor youth, African economies go deeper into debt, Amazon stock soars & masses starve so they can feel "safe" /Thread
We cited experts across the political spectrum who have been right about the insanity of lockdowns, including @DrJBhattacharya.

Also quoted was noted right-winger Christian Parenti, who captures "left" Branch Covidian cultists like @WalkerBragman well thegrayzone.com/2021/12/03/fla…
Dishonest Covidian neurotics like Walker can't openly discuss the pointless brutality & poverty that millions across the globe were subjected to under lockdown, especially the poor & minorities in the US-EU, so he resorts to framing all criticism as far-right.

Some hard facts

How many lies can @stephenkinzer tell about Nicaragua in 2 minutes?
He falsely claims Nica's govt killed 300+ during the coup in 2018
Falsely states Ortega arrested all other presidential candidates
Declares the FSLN is "the most brutal [regime] now ruling Latin America"
Kinzer's claim that "300 people were shot dead by police and thugs wearing ski masks working for Daniel Ortega" is a huge lie. Over 1/2 killed in the 2018 coup cheered on by Kinzer were murdered by opposition hooligans, including many police officers. thegrayzone.com/2018/07/30/how…
Kinzer's claim that "Ortega had all the people who announced they wanted to run for president arrested" is also a lie. 6 parties ran vs Ortega. Those detained had orchestrated the violent coup of 2018, were funded by CIA cut-outs and were never candidates. thegrayzone.com/2021/11/11/nic…

.@neil_ferguson of Gates-backed Imperial School triggered devastating lockdown policies in UK & US w/ bogus modeling that massivel overestimated fatalities.

He previously overestimated H1N1 deaths by 125X & avian flu by 10,000X

Ferguson was just confronted by angry citizens
In my discussion w/@toby00green, author of The Covid Consensus, we discussed Neil Ferguson's ignominious record of overestimating death tolls and why, despite being discredited again and again, his computing models convinced the UK gov to lock down
rokfin.com/stream/10545/F…
Imperial School's Neil Ferguson marketed fraudulent data with buggy code to panicked and intellectually lazy gov't ministers, inspiring hard lockdowns that devastated economies, crushed workers & spawned excess deaths. He has yet to be held accountable. dailysceptic.org/the-imperial-m…

Students "pushed back against a wearable 'bio button' designed to monitor heart rate, temperature and respiration, and warn the school if a student was showing signs of Covid-19."

"they get all this personal information and in exchange I get an education" wsj.com/articles/covid…
WSJ: "Millions of college students now take exams online while monitored through their computer camera by an employee of a proctoring company or software designed to detect any movement that could be construed as cheating."
"...95% of students are vaccinated but they need proof of a weekly negative Covid-19 test to enter campus. Students must leave classrooms to take a sip of water, rather than just sliding their masks down. Security guards circulate in the library and student union..."

Right now in Melbourne, Australia the most severe clash to date between workers and the state over mandated jabs as thousands of unionized construction tradesmen take the streets.

Victoria Premier Dan Andrews has shut down all construction for two weeks
From @therealrukshan’s FB livestream minutes ago, riot police opened fire on rebellious construction workers with teargas, but ultimately fell back
Moments before being teargassed by riot police, these union workers were singing Daryl Braithwaite’s The Horses 😂
