Nominee to lead State Department Tony Blinken recently explained that Biden's pledge to "end the forever wars" means the US will reduce large-scale deployments while expanding secret wars waged by special forces and proxies.

Watch the full exposé here:
Tony Blinken pushed for clandestine weapons shipments to jihadist "moderate rebels" in Syria, neo-Nazi "freedom fighters" in Ukraine, and praised Trump for bombing Syria.

So much for "defeating fascism"!

In 2015, @ABlinken was a major proponent of expediting weapons shipments and expanding intelligence sharing with Saudi Arabia and UAE to fuel the genocide of Yemen.

.@ABlinken laments the failures of the Trump’s administration’s Guaidó coup strategy, but says “it may still happen tomorrow, next week or next year.”

Blinken wants US corporations to pillage Venezuelan oil just like Pompeo does.

Much to the delight of Mike Pompeo, western media outlets published articles claiming China is sterilizing Uighur Muslims. All of these articles are based on the claims of Adrian Zenz, a homophobic fundamentalist Christian who sees himself as an anti-China crusader "led by God".
.@ajitxsingh and @MaxBlumenthal exposed how Zenz's laughably shoddy "research" methods were taken at face value by credulous western media outlets bent on promoting the Cold War with China.

This appears to be happening again. thegrayzone.com/2019/12/21/chi…
Starting in the late 80s, western media outlets accused China of sterilizing women in Tibet. A 2001 fact finding mission debunked the reports and warned against "using refugee reports and anecdotal evidence to interpret highly politicized situations". savetibet.org/new-report-dis…

This nurse #AybenHuaranca was the only medical professional who treated the protesters wounded and killed by the Bolivian coup in the #SenkataMassacre. Now the military dictatorship has arrested him on false charges of terrorism, alleging he disguised himself as a soldier and cop
Here #AybenHuaranca declares his innocence, says photos showing someone impersonating a soldier are not of him and that he is being destroyed.
Journalist @Guaitafran witnessed #AybenHuaranca tending to wounded and dying protesters shot by the military.

The Bolivian junta is punishing a brave medical worker for treating the unarmed protestors its soldiers murdered.

Footage emerging from Cochabamba, Bolivia shows the aftermath of a massacre of indigenous protesters carried out by coup soldiers and police. This will be ignored by western media.
More footage of the Cochabamba massacre. This man appears to have been shot in the chest.
Horrifying image of the victims of the Cochabamba massacre. This is the predictable result of the fascist coup that the US, @OAS_official and their western media lackeys supported. Blood is on their hands.

Thread: It’s revealing to see how support for the Hong Kong’s pro-US empire secessionist movement has brought together far-right MAGA types and liberal interventionists, all under the banner of fighting “authoritarianism” or “communism”.
Just in the last hour, anti-communist MAGA blowhards have been filling my mentions. Some of them are antisemitic.
More MAGA chuds showing solidarity with Hong Kong’s US-backed youth movement

This is @dewolfleloup’s second rant aimed at discrediting my article without challenging a single fact I present. He’s hellbent on smearing anyone who points out how the US is financing violent destabilization riots so it can exploit them for political capital. Why?
I never said my article wasn’t “about” the protests. I said it’s “not against the protest movement in itself”. Basic reading comprehension doesn’t seem to be @dewolfleloup’s strong suit.
Revealing how @dewolfleloup downplays Joshua Wong’s connections to the US as mere “attempts” and calls him “naive”. An obvious attempt to minimize how Wong has been groomed by Washington for 5+ years.

Charles Lister is promoting the leader of al-Qaeda in Syria as Che Guevara-like in an effort to have Hayat Tahrir al-Sham's (rebranded AQ) designation as a terrorist organization lifted.

Who in 2001 could've imagined that al-Qaeda would have a lobbyist in Washington DC in 2019?
Same old schtick from Lister. He's been selling the image of al-Qaeda as a popular movement for years.
There's an obviously coordinated effort among the think tank regime change operatives to promote al-Qaeda as a benevolent force in Syria. Israeli soldier @Elizrael calls Jolani "smart" and says he uses "compassionate rhetoric".
