As the right-wing campaign to overthrow Mexico's extremely popular elected left-wing President AMLO grows, Bolivia's fascist US-backed coup regime has ordered the expulsion of the Mexican ambassador

Washington wants puppet dictators in all of the region
bbc.com/mundo/noticias…
Bolivia's US-backed fascist coup regime has been illegally besieging Mexico's embassy, where democratically elected politicians from President Evo Morales' leftist MAS party were granted asylum

Mexico took the case to the International Court of Justice

The US government first criminally besieged Venezuela's sovereign embassy in DC, and took it over with the help of a violent far-right mob

Now the US-backed fascist coup regime in Bolivia is besieging Mexico's embassy

The US rogue state is out of control

Iraqis are rising up against US neocolonialism in their country

The US bombed Iraq, massacring 25 fighters who have led the fight against ISIS

So Iraqis responded by attacking the US embassy

The US took over Venezuela's sovereign embassy. Now it got a taste of its own medicine
Outside the US embassy, Iraqi protesters threw stones while they chanted, 'No, no, America! ... No, no, Trump!'"

Now Washington is sending more military occupation forces to Iraq. It is an addict, addicted to more militarization and neocolonial oppression
axios.com/us-embassy-bag…
Iraqi protesters spray painted "Closed in the name of the people" on the gates of the US embassy 

The leader of a militia fighting against ISIS said the 5,000 US troops occupying Iraq "are unwanted... They are a source of evil and we want them to leave"

The US is now pushing regime change in Belarus, one of the only countries in E. Europe that maintained socialistic policies and state ownership after the wave of US-forced right-wing neoliberal "shock therapy"

Washington wants another "color revolution"
rferl.org/a/minsk-sees-f…
Since its founding as a CIA-backed disinformation weapon in the Cold War, US government propaganda outlet @RFERL has amplified right-wing opposition groups across Eastern Europe

It was originally named "Radio Liberation from Bolshevism"

Today they're doing the same in Belarus
@RFERL While the Trump administration has been waging relentless hybrid warfare to try to overthrow Venezuela's elected leftist government and install a far-right puppet regime (à la Bolivia), Belarus has remained a close ally of Caracas

The US Department of Defense cannot document or explain $21 TRILLION of financial transactions from 1998 to 2015

And the corporate media almost never mentions this

@LeeCamp covers it and more scandals of the imperialist war machine at @RedactedTonight
@LeeCamp @RedactedTonight The amounts of money flowing into and out of the Pentagon:
$1.7 trillion in 1998
$2.3 trillion in 1999
$1.1 trillion in 2000
$1.1 trillion in 2007
$875 billion in 2010
$1.7 trillion in 2012

$21 trillion in undocumented financial transactions in 1998-2015
thenation.com/article/pentag…
@LeeCamp @RedactedTonight For decades, the Pentagon has been "perpetrating a gigantic, unconstitutional accounting fraud," deliberately cooking the books to drive the military's budgets ever higher

"DoD has literally been making up numbers in its annual financial reports"

THREAD: What the #US media won't tell you about the popular rebellion in #Chile.

In 1973, #Nixon/#Kissinger provoked a coup to overthrow the democratically elected #socialist government of Salvador #Allende, leading to the 17-year nightmare of the #Pinochet dictatorship.
In addition to torturing, disappearing, and murdering thousands of dissidents, Pinochet turned #Chile into a laboratory experiment for #neoliberalism. With the help of Milton #Friedman and the "Chicago Boys," they set to work privatizing everything they could get their hands on.
Health, education, pensions, roads, even WATER-everything was sold off to #Pinochet's cronies. #Chile became the shining, model state for our new, post-Keynesian world. That this only could've happened by installing a #fascist dictatorship was omitted.

The Amazon the largest lung in our world is on fire😭.
It's time for humanity to stop & think seriously about what it is doing🤨.
Is this our legacy for future generations😠?
Is money more important than conserving nature😡?
🗣️We need the forests to survive.
🗣️Protect nature!

There is no "ngo" burning the #AmazonRainforest these are Cattle Ranchers, most of whom voted for #Bolsonaro. They're destroying the #Enviroment to steal #Indigenous land for themselves #NativeTwitter!#IndigenousRights #NativeLivesMatter
