The Trump administration is taking more than $40 million that was allotted for supposed "humanitarian aid" for Central America and giving it to violent right-wing coup-mongers in the Venezuelan opposition.

This shows the true intentions behind USAID "aid"
latimes.com/politics/story…
This "aid" was supposed to go to Honduras and Guatemala, countries that have been completely destabilized by the US, basically turned into colonies, with extreme violence and brutally repressive right-wing regimes pushing large numbers of refugees to flee

The US already created the current migrant crisis by overthrowing Honduran democracy and installing a murderous right-wing narco dictatorship

Now the US is using millions of taxpayer dollars to further destabilize Venezuela and fuel another refugee crisis

Told you so: The UK military pays the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) -- which is notorious for producing fake "leftist" imperialists who support regime change around the world -- for “cultural advice” on how to operate in former colonies
morningstaronline.co.uk/article/b/left…
Among the pro-imperialist fake "leftist" academics at @SOAS involved in the British military scheme is Gilbert Achcar, a strong supporter of regime change in Libya & Syria, portraying it as a "revolution"

Achcar gave training to the UK Ministry of Defence
morningstaronline.co.uk/article/b/left…
Pro-imperialist fake "leftist" academic Gilbert Achcar -- who we now know has voluntarily collaborated with the UK military, giving it training sessions -- is a regular contributor to @JacobinMag, where he portrays NATO regime-change plots as "revolutions"

Yesterday hundreds of thousands of people from across Nicaragua gathered in the capital Managua for an all-day celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Sandinista Revolution

It was one of the largest demonstrations I have seen in my life

Report coming soon at @GrayzoneProject
@GrayzoneProject Sandinismo is a very powerful and popular force in Nicaragua. The working-class population in Managua overwhelmingly supports it. We walk down the streets and random people come up and shout, "Tell the media to stop lying! We love our gov!" (The same thing happened in Venezuela)
@GrayzoneProject Countless Nicaraguans traveled far from other cities and towns. For hours yesterday morning, I saw torrents of people crammed in buses and cars, waving FSLN flags, all coming to celebrate the anti-imperialist revolution.

The corporate media is not interested in these Nicaraguans

Ayer en Nicaragua en el barrio San Antonio de Managua, di un discurso sobre la desinformación en los medios corporativos, que actúan como instrumentos del imperio EEUU, y que siempre atacan a gobiernos progresistas e independientes, y que ignoran al pueblo
La 2da parte de mi discurso anoche en Nicaragua, en lo que enfatizo que el gobierno imperialista de EEUU no representa al pueblo; sólo representa a los capitalistas y oligarcas. Y el imperio instala y apoya dictaduras en Latinoamérica y alrededor del mundo
.@MaxBlumenthal dio un discurso a la gente en el barrio San Antonio de Managua que estaba conmemorando el 40 aniversario de la victoria de la revolución Sandinista:

Millones de norteamericanos lucha contra el mismo imperio. Nuestra lucha es la misma.

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.
