Biden nominee Victoria Nuland’s CFR essay amounted a maniacal plan for regime change in Russia and domestic militarization.
She called for sweeping internet censorship at home and escalating via cyber-warfare and hacking operations against Russia.
Nuland seeks to maintain the Trump era’s record Pentagon budgets and build up nuclear and conventional weapons.
She’s the former CEO of @CNASdc, the militaristic Dem think tank funded by the arms makers & Defense Dept that stand to gain from her neocon fanaticism.
The late Robert Parry clearly outlined how neocons Victoria Nuland and Robert Kagan turned perpetual war into a lucrative family business. consortiumnews.com/2015/03/20/a-f…

#StopTheSteaI protesters say a young woman was shot in the neck while inside the US Capitol. This appears to be her. They are amped up right now. (Sorry for sideways camera work)
He has blood on his hand and claims to have witnessed the shooting. All around calls for escalation.
He calls for an end to peaceful protest because of the young woman who was shot. I ask if he can understand why people in DC protest police brutality. No response.
Interesting how CNN cites Rafael Ramirez as a legit critic of Maduro and doesn't inform readers that Venezuela's govt seeks his extradition for a massive corruption scheme. US prosecutors named him as a bribe recipient but never charged him, presumably bc he's helping their plot.
CNN portrays Rafael Ramirez as a principled Chavista and gives him space to compare Maduro to Pinochet. But for some reason it couldn't find any room to mention this aspect of his background. apnews.com/article/8fa2dd…
The word "sanctions" does not appear once in CNN's article. The all-out US economic war that necessitated the Anti-Blockade Law is framed as a fantastical accusation by Maduro, not a concrete reality. Little context is provided to understand moves toward financial liberalization.
While the spook author of this paranoid call to “severely punish the Russians” offers no evidence, it can be deduced that US intelligence is cranking up its Mighty Wurlitzer to ensure a continuum in Russia hysteria between the Trump & Biden admins.
A day after a wave of stories about a hack described w/o evidence as a Russian “act of war,” NYT published a call for Biden to ramp up hostility with Russia & declared “the era of bifurcation between the West Wing and the American national security establishment is about to end.”
Framed as a “news analysis,” the NY Times was basically providing Biden with the New Cold Warrior’s playbook, courtesy of an array of anti-Russia fanatics treated as seasoned experts in Washington. It’s clear they expect Biden to be completely malleable. nytimes.com/2020/12/15/us/…
Venezuela’s extremist opposition boycotted elections to sustain its gravy train of US $. Having handed victory to the governing PSUV, they made turnout the focus. They worked to suppress the vote, emphasizing “abstentions” as a measure of the govt’s illegitimacy. Turnout was 32%.
From my POV, the turnout rate disappointed the govt, which was hoping for 40% - above the Chavista baseline. But opposition pollsters had predicted 15%, and Guaido’s US-backed mafia did all it could to suppress the vote, even exploiting Covid to urge citizens to stay home.
The US-backed opposition consistently claimed Venezuela’s election authority (CNE) would fix the election. Then why didn’t it engineer a higher turnout rate to shatter their narrative? They have no answer, just as they’ve never produced evidence to back up past claims of fraud.
On April 30 2018, well before Mossad assassinated Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, Netanyahu singled out the Iranian scientist in his April 2018 “nuclear archive” slide show.
Weeks earlier, Netanyahu presented these documents to Trump to secure his withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal.
As @GarethPorter reported for @TheGrayzoneNews, the docs Netanyahu presented were likely fabricated by the Mossad as part of a disinformation campaign aimed at sabotaging the JCPOA and influencing Trump to implement a regime change policy against Iran thegrayzone.com/2020/04/29/fab…
Iran experienced a wave of nuclear scientist assassinations in 2011-12, just as the Obama admin opened bilateral talks with Iran. Biden's incoming natsec advisor Jake Sullivan led those talks.
The Biden-Harris agency review teams are heavily represented by personnel from corporate board rooms, the professional managerial class & Beltway think tanks. It's a recipe for Obama 2.0
