US center-"left" media outlets continue dutifully fulfilling their role as useful idiots of imperialism
Days before Mexico's election, The Nation ran an absurd smear piece demonizing progressive President AMLO as the US funds coup-mongering rightwing groups trying to impeach him
A document leaked in 2020 proved Mexico's neoliberal political parties, capitalist oligarchs, and media secretly unified in a plot, backed by Washington and Wall Street, to try to impeach AMLO
Challenge: find a difference between the right-wing attacks on AMLO in the neoliberal financial press and the infantile smear piece in The Nation
Spoiler: there are none
Coup-supporting radlibs like @dawn_ are the same fake "leftists" who supported the US-backed coup in Brazil
The Nation has at times had a glorious history, from the abolitionists who founded it to Alexander Cockburn.
But as with much of US so-called "left media," it was taken over by radlib NGO imperialists who smear actually existing left-wing governments while running this nonsense
The coup-supporting fake "leftist" who wrote The Nation smear piece attacking Mexico's AMLO, @Dawn_ Paley, also spread propaganda to provide fake "left" justification for the fascist 2019 military coup in Bolivia.
In the 1980s, the US State Dep't was exposed for spreading fake news not only abroad, but also against its own population - blatantly violating domestic laws - in an information war against Nicaragua's socialist gov't
If you think it's not doing the same today, you're very naive
In addition to funding and training Nicaragua's Contra death squads in the 1980s, the CIA:
-named their groups
-wrote their press releases
-"coached Contra leaders how to lie to reporters effectively"
-staged fake events for cameras
US Justice Dep't documents admit the US State Dep't and CIA trained Nicaragua's far-right Contras on how to disseminate propaganda to the US media and how to lobby members of US Congress, giving them lists of members "who would be vulnerable to charges of being soft on communism"
The Belarusian regime-change activist being heroized by Western govts & media as a supposed "democracy" activist, Roman Protasevich, joined neo-Nazis in Ukraine, and his career was cultivated by the US.
It's not an "accident" that the "moderate rebels" the US/EU/NATO imperialist axis supports keep being exposed as fascists, in Ukraine, Hong Kong, Syria, Libya, Bolivia, etc.
Newly discovered photos show the Western gov't-funded fascist
Belarusian regime-change operative Roman Protasevich, whose arrest on a grounded plane caused a global scandal, with assault rifles in the ranks of Ukraine’s neo-Nazi Azov Battalion.
The latest poll from Nicaragua's top firm shows the leftist Sandinista Front remains by far the most popular force, while support for the right-wing opposition is tiny
69% approve of President Daniel Ortega's gov't
73% say it gives them hope
76% feel the country has progressed
61% of Nicaraguans say the country is better with a leftist Sandinista government.
Just 4% strongly sympathize with the right-wing opposition.
The US govt-backed opposition groups, which have millions of dollars in foreign funding, can't even get 1% support from the population.
63% of Nicaraguans say they and their families will have better lives and jobs with a leftist Sandinista government
Only 14% think their lives would be better living under rule by the US-backed right-wing opposition (those are the rich elites, who Washington wants back in power)
Corrupt, extremely right-wing banker Guillermo Lasso takes power as Ecuador's new president today
Attending his inauguration is a who's who of Latin America's far-right:
-Brazil's Bolsonaro
-Colombia's Duque
-Chile's Piñera
-Venezuelan terrorist Leopoldo López
Also Spain's king
Ecuador's new banker-turned-President Guillermo Lasso is an ultra-conservative, filthy rich oligarch known for stashing millions in offshore bank accounts.
He helped destroy Ecuador's economy as "super economic minister" during a financial crash in 1999 cepr.net/tens-of-millio…
Also attending the inauguration are:
-Honduras' drug-trafficking dictator JOH (installed after a US coup)
-Haiti's US-backed dictator Jovenel Moïse
-Colombia's right-wing ex-President Pastrana (a Jeffrey Epstein associate)
-and of course a top US diplomat
The situation in El Salvador is interesting. President Nayib Bukele at first followed US orders, backing Venezuelan puppet Guaidó and attacking his neighbor Nicaragua
The US government is now even threatening sanctions on its ally El Salvador. Why? Because its former puppet Bukele has become increasingly independent and is no longer obediently following orders like before, and he just signed an agreement with China cnnespanol.cnn.com/2021/05/18/buk…
El Salvador's leftist former FMLN gov't broke ties with US colony Taiwan, recognizing China. During his presidential campaign, Bukele criticized China, saying he would reexamine ties.
The UFO stories all over corporate media are being pushed heavily by the US military & spy agencies.
Looking back at history, this looks like a psyop to hide new experimental technology and/or manufacture consent for increased military budgets & a new arms race with China/Russia
After the end of the first cold war, the CIA admitted that the US military lied about its experimental spy planes and promoted fake stories to make people believe they were UFOs.
