The #Socialism2019 conference today has a panel on how China is a big evil imperial baddie, featuring speakers from two different NGOs that are bankrolled by the US gov's regime change arm the NED, which was founded by Reagan's CIA to spread "free markets"

Today's #Socialism2019 conference — sponsored by @DemSocialists, @JacobinMag, @HaymarketBooks — features regime-change activist Dan La Botz, who admits in a leaked email to DSA leadership that "there is virtually no left among the opposition" in Nicaragua

Almost all of these reports on Iran are misleading and irresponsible. If you don't stress in the title that it was the US that sabotaged the nuclear deal, destroying the entire purpose of it, then you're just making anti-Iran propaganda that helps to justify illegal US aggression
Here is a much more responsibly framed report: "Iran passes new nuclear deal limit as China blames US for crisis"

Iran can't break an agreement that was already sabotaged and destroyed over a year ago by the Trump administration
aljazeera.com/news/2019/07/i…
"The facts show that unilateral bullying [by the US] has already become a worsening tumour," said China's foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang.

"The maximum pressure exerted by the US on Iran is the root cause of the Iranian nuclear crisis," he added

It is false that the Venezuelan gov's CLAP food program only benefits Chavistas. 100% a lie

I also went to CLAP distributions in working-class barrios in Venezuela in February. There were groups of opposition supporters there getting food with no problems
UN "human rights" @MBachelet's claim Venezuelan opposition supporters don't get food is a dangerous lie.

The community organizes itself to give CLAP boxes to those who need it, including opposition supporters.

@AaronJMate was there with me and can attest to this undeniable fact
This is a ridiculous lie spread by Venezuela's right-wing opposition

It is especially dangerous because the Trump admin is trying to impose sanctions on the CLAP food program to starve Venezuelan civilians into submission

@MBachelet is helping this crime

The US embassy in Ottawa boasted in a March 2017 memo, “Canada Adopts ‘America First’ Foreign Policy,” just after PM Trudeau appointed hard-line hawk Chrystia Freeland as foreign minister.

via @GrayzoneProject thegrayzone.com/2019/07/05/can…
In this now declassified memo, the US State Department gleefully wrote that Canadian PM @JustinTrudeau appointed bellicose FM @CAFreeland “in large part because of her strong U.S. contacts” and that her “number one priority” was working closely with the US thegrayzone.com/2019/07/05/can…
Canada's hawkish FM @CAFreeland — who was celebrated in a declassified US State Department memo for bringing Canada an "American first" foreign policy — is the granddaughter of a Ukrainian Nazi propagandist.

She knew this, but called it "Russian disinfo"

THE INVISIBLE MEN

The vast army of men & women of the @CIA & the activities they carry out in conflict-ridden areas of the world are rendered almost completely invisible by western mass media. This indicates myopia, amnesia or malign intent on a massive scale.

@CNN @BBC @NBC
THE INVISIBLE MEN

The history of global covert interference by the @CIA is well known & documented. It cannot be the case that western commentators & editors are ignorant of its past activities. They also surely do not believe the CIA's tens of thousands now sit on their hands.
THE INVISIBLE MEN

What might be the reasons behind the extremely relevant factor of @CIA activity being so little reported in western press & media as to be almost totally absent? What factors could explain this absence? What beliefs or motivations?

After 70 years of imperial/neoliberal indoctrination the web of lies is so obviously absurde (9/11, Skripal, WH = ISIS, etc.), that it is dissoluting. The empathetic humanity connects, closes ranks and sends their eternal psychopathic rulers and their lackeys into nowhere land.
The "evil empire" is a lifelong three year old child. I certainly loved my children at that age too, however only because they created not only a surreal mess, but also made steady progress.

A great documentary about psychopathy and society:
The elite invented "democracy" to protect them from the empathetic people. The media are their means for misleading the people sedated by "democracy". This is definitely a bad thing since the people have become educated and the elite almost totally insane.
