Mexico's right-wing ex-President Felipe Calderón (a key oligarchic ally of the US who worked closely with the Bush admin) is openly calling for an "armed rebellion" to violently overthrow the elected left-wing President AMLO, as well as Maduro in Venezuela

A right-wing coup is brewing in Mexico, where corporate oligarchs with powerful friends in Washington and Wall Street won't even tolerate a center-left govt of President AMLO, because he is anti-neoliberal and forces rich elites and oligarchs to pay taxes

Mexico's notoriously corrupt ex-President Felipe Calderón helped the US wage a brutal "war on drugs" that killed hundreds of thousands.

Meanwhile his top officials admitted Calderón was working with drug cartels and ordered assassinations of journalists infobae.com/america/mexico…

Jaw-dropping Opposite-Day propaganda from US gov't mouthpiece the NY Times, erasing 200 years of murderous US colonialism in Latin America and long bipartisan support for nonstop military intervention, wars, coups, contras, cartels, fascist dictatorships, blockades, and sanctions
The author of this NY Times propaganda erasing countless US wars, CIA-orchestrated coups, & support for fascist dictatorships in Latin America is @AKurmanaev, a self-described "mercenary" who admitted he uses “sexy tricks” to sell anti-Venezuela propaganda

The NY Times' claim that the US govt's USAID supports "democracy initiatives in Latin America" is insane propaganda

USAID is a CIA front that funds regime-change ops; right-wing opposition groups in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua; and the Guaidó coup gang

Like Jacobin in the US, Novara Media in the UK helped set the stage for the fascist military coup in Bolivia by spreading disinfo blaming Evo Morales for Amazon fires caused by Bolsonaro's Brazil.

Then Novara quietly deleted this propaganda article it published. Will it say why?
Pro-imperialist "socialist" magazine @JacobinMag published many articles demonizing Evo Morales and Bolivia's elected socialist govt in the years leading up to the US-backed fascist coup.

After, Jacobin did a 180, pretending to suddenly support Evo.

Vile
When Brazil's left-wing Workers' Party (PT) was in power, Jacobin published 38 articles on Brazil, 100% of which presented a negative view of the PT. Jacobin attacked them nonstop.

But when the PT lost power, suddenly Jacobin pretended to support them

.@MaxBlumenthal and I showed what really happened with neocon Cancel Culture Queen @BariWeiss's New York Times resignation.

This is a publicity stunt for Weiss, who has dedicated her life to destroying the careers of people who criticize apartheid Israel
thegrayzone.com/2020/07/15/bar…
While she and other warmongers now claim to opposed "Cancel Culture" because it's convenient, ex NY Times neocon Bari Weiss has tried to cancel the pro-Palestine left as a whole, viciously attacking anti-apartheid activists and Palestinians
thegrayzone.com/2020/07/15/bar…

Thread below:
In her absurd 2019 book "How to Fight Anti-Semitism," Bari Weiss rants about how, if you oppose Israeli apartheid and state-mandated racism, you are an anti-Semite.

She has insane passages claiming supposed “leftist anti-Semitism” is more dangerous than “Hitlerian anti-Semitism”
