Y'know when folks do events organised by 🇷🇺at the 🇺🇳 that support Russian geopolitical priorities like trashing the White Helmets and still claim to be 'independent'? This is the same👇
Rodriguez is 🇻🇪VP and Arreaza is 🇻🇪 Foreign Sec. Rosales is the regime Ambassador to the OAS.
Ivan Timofeev is from the Valdai Club and provides the 'facts' to support Russia's occupation of Crimea. He's also intimately connected to 'Russiagate'. nytimes.com/2017/11/10/us/…
This Russian is involved because the campaign against sanctions is global and has been going on for months and Russia has a lot invested in it.
I have seen scores of lefty Westerners participate in countless propaganda exercises run by the Venezuelan regime. Or them work with regime front organisations as if they were real. If it were Russia then this might be noticed but because it is Venezuela it is not.

When @PiruloAr was hauled before a Nicaraguan Prosecutor yesterday they made a point of saying that they did not like the reporting of his 👇 outlet, Divergentes. They said Wilfredo was lying. They really, really don't like this 👇 reporting.
Important to note that the attacks on these reporters in english coming from the Ortega supporting Western left underpin +aid the repression in very practical ways. They are worse than Durante in that they bulk up/distribute the fake 'evidence' used to condemn Ortega's opponents.
This is the 'reporting' which underpins Nicaragua's global propaganda support for its repression of journalists and political opponents.
Folks who've been observing Peruvian elections for decades say there's zero, zip, nada evidence of fraud. Keiko's specific claims have *already been picked up by the system* as isolated, not systemic, cases. elcomercio.pe/elecciones-202… v @michaelcdeibert
Whoever lost, the integrity of the election would be under attack.
Ben Norton claimed a Spanish aid agency was funding 'regime change' in Nicaragua. The Spanish agency say he's citing a faked document that the Ortega regime has tried to use against them before. despacho505.com/aecid-desmient…
Norton's recycling of Ortega/Murillo 'CIA regime change' claims includes this 👇
The Nicaraguan dictatorship has removed the legal status of the civil society opposition party PRD leaving the business alliance CxL as its only opposition in November's elections. Basic divide-and-rule, IOW.
The decision immediately followed a complaint by evangelical leaders that the PRD is "acting contrary to their Christian principles," by making an electoral alliance with feminist organisations, sexual diversity organisations and others of the National Coalition.
"What is clear is the motivation of the dictatorship to eliminate the social sectors that moved the floor in April 2018, especially civil society, and keep playing with more flexible sectors."
