Democracy Now continues spreading regime-change propaganda on Syria. Meanwhile @DemocracyNow refuses to report on the FOUR whistleblowers now from the OPCW who say scientific findings were repressed (under US gov't pressure) because they refuted this claim

There are now FOUR whistleblowers from the OPCW who say the politicized management erased/reversed scientific findings to justify the US gov's claim of "chemical weapons" attacks in Syria

But even "progressive" media outlets refuse to cover this scandal
thegrayzone.com/2020/03/12/opc…
In testimony before the UN Security Council, an ex OPCW inspection team leader and engineering expert stated their investigation in Douma, Syria suggested no chemical attack took place. But their findings were suppressed.

@DemocracyNow won't report this

"Saudi" Arabia is a colonialist project created by the racist British/US empires, which prop up the parasitic monarchy and oppress the people of Arabia to control their oil.

But comprador-bourgeois liberals with cushy NGO/academic jobs will always erase imperialism with "nuance"
The British and US empires protect the "Saudi" Arabian dictatorship and use it as a proxy to cultivate Wahhabi contras to kill communists & Arab nationalists and overthrow independent anti-imperialist republics, all to control the region and its resources history.com/news/fdr-saudi…
While comprador-bourgeois liberals want us to be "nuanced" with imperialism, the real resistance called itself the Popular Front for the Liberation of the *Occupied Arabian Gulf*. They recognized the Gulf monarchies as illegitimate imperialist puppets

Blood-soaked criminal Elliott Abrams—who oversaw a murderous terrorist war in Nicaragua, literal genocide in Guatemala, and now Trump's coup attempt in Venezuela—has an op-ed in Wall Street's Journal revealing US puppet Guaidó has outlived his usefulness
wsj.com/articles/a-new…
The US State Department is implicitly admitting its year-long coup attempt against Venezuela's democratically elected government utterly failed.

So now genocide-enabling war criminal Elliott Abrams is proposing that real President Maduro and coup-puppet Guaidó "both step aside."
Of course US coup-puppet Juan Guaidó doesn't actually control anything inside Venezuela; all he has is what the US empire stole for him.

Meanwhile Nicolás Maduro remains the real, elected president of Venezuela. He's not going anywhere. The US coup failed

AOC is a spineless opportunist, and certainly not a leader of the left.

There are no excuses to pretend otherwise. As if it wasn't already patently clear (like when she heroized John McCain or said she'd "defer to caucus leadership on" the Venezuela coup)

By the way AOC already made it clear she supports Biden. Just wait until this corporate media darling officially endorses the demented, warmongering, right-wing, creepy predatorial neoliberal

John McCain — a blood-soaked neocon war criminal who started his career as a military failson who got off on bombing civilians in Vietnam and then went on to support every war ever and joke about bombing Iran — is an "unparalleled example of human decency"
