The timing of this WSJ piece is grotesque, weaponizing fearmongering narratives about “jihadists” and “gangs” right as new claims about U.S. pressure on Venezuela hit the news cycle. It’s the same Murdoch-brand playbook: distract, dehumanize, and launder geopolitical agendas through sensationalist crime tropes. Instead of informing the public, they’re manufacturing consent for whatever comes next. Calling WSJ journalism is an insult to the world.
"If they could truly see how much evil is being done in their name and really wrap their minds around it,".....and that is the first problem we have. Wrapping our minds around it. I keep thinking that it just cannot get much worse. But then it does. Every day. I am afraid to look at the news, but unable not to.
We all saw the lies, deceipt and cold blooded warmongering in the Iraq scandal and now we are about to face yet another from the same criminal USA
How my country can even allow an Embassy for these murderers to exist is beyond my understanding as we act every day of every year as a bag carrying slave to both the USA and Israel.
I am ashamed of Western governments for their compliance to yet another American power play.
This time clearly for oil, 18% of the world's reserves in Venezuela.
And US soldiers will go to their own deaths because of these lies. Do they really believe Venezuela is worth their lives? The US is not in any imminent danger from Venezuela. This isn't worth dying for.
US soldiers are required to disobey illegal orders to commit war crimes, civil crimes, crimes against humanity. They have sworn their oaths to defend the US Constitution and to protect their nation against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.
The POTUS and the Secretary of War have condemned a half dozen US Senators for reminding the armed forces about this.
I don't know. You mean they'll just start bombing, or use remote drone attacks? No special ops on the ground? Maybe you're right. Especially if they just do drones.
Because your country craves American carrot and fears American stick.
Anyway, "oil" is a pretext, just as was "drugs". Venezuela would be happy to sell all the crude it can pump for dollars. Buying oil would be far cheaper than a war.

THIS is what I'm hoping happens. That people WAKE UP collectively and take back their agency, their lives, their communities, and their country.
If people still belive the 'Venezuelan narratives' of the U.S. Empire, then I have a bridge to sell them in Brooklyn, or maybe a colony on Mars (and no, I won't be sharing my profits with Elon Musk 😃 - I will spend the money on taking down the EVIL U.S. Empire).
Viva Venezuela. Keep your greasy yanquis hands off this beautiful county. You Vile amerikan political fascists. Long live Palestine. Bravo Ukraine. F... Orange freak
Classic smear campaign, and you know something big and destructive is being set-up. We have to make comments on this sort of thing at all news outlets carrying this crap: we don't buy it: it's a cheap ploy , we will look askance at all outlets that don't at least present an objective case, nothing assumed or justified. JHC, what ever happened to honest journalism?
Honest legitimate journalism costs money and doesn’t promise a monetary return on investment. The value of such journalism cannot be measured, easily, in terms of profits.
Honest journalism is its own intrinsic value. Honest journalists need money to pay for their business expenses and for their livelihoods.
No, you should get help from a reformed person belonging to 'whatever cult' you belong to. Ex-cult members that have learned from their past mistakes sometimes have MORE success in getting through to others with similar experiences/thinking-styles.
All wars are bankers wars, but… yes, I’m aware of the demographic breakdown. Still, it’s a class issue more than anything else. It’s organized crime. It just so happens it’s the Jewish mafia and their fascist cronies (Betar and that ilk) who are at the seat of the table atm.
In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune.
"The most common misconception about the free press of the western world is that it exists."
That line should be chiseled in granite.

Yep. The got two SCARY birds with one stone. Well, three actually - gangs, Africans and jihadists.
This is pretty tame for Caitlin. Even she goes through numbness.
Recently Jeff Sachs referred to Trump's Venezuela policy as "gangster."
The criminality is out in the open; the cover-ups are flimsy, insulting.
The Western world is governed by gangsters who believe in their impunity.
It really is. These people are lawless and not being held to account for their lawlessness. Make it stop.
Doesn't matter if it works.

Wall Street Journal editors will be tried for crimes against humanity. There is no statute of limitations.
Joseph Goebbels never died.

They won't be dying, any more than they died in Libya.
I don't know. You mean they'll just start bombing, or use remote drone attacks? No special ops on the ground? Maybe you're right. Especially if they just do drones.
They'll only use enough ground troops as necessary. See Libya for the template.
This will be a quick and easy victory and be used to beat war drums against Russia.
Quick and easy eh? Where have I heard that before?
Because your country craves American carrot and fears American stick.

But what matters to the US, is who gets the $$ for said oil.
Fantastic article Caitlin! ❤️🙏👏👌

Yes, that makes sense to me.
Also, honest legitimate journalists have been targeted for assassinations, and many have already been killed to keep them silent.
It's a pretext, sort of like a barroom bully looking for a fight.
Doesn't matter, if the bully gets what he wants. Don't kid yourself. He will.
Most Americans never learn anything of real importance. If they do, they soon forget it.
America needs Venezuela oil. Every war is a Jew war.
Nothing to do with Jews. Everything to do with Capitalism and imperialism.
Keep on learning, child
I could say the same to you, though learning might not do you any good (based on your comments). You need help - may you someday find it.
Should I get help from a Jew psychiatrist? Lol
No, you should get help from a reformed person belonging to 'whatever cult' you belong to. Ex-cult members that have learned from their past mistakes sometimes have MORE success in getting through to others with similar experiences/thinking-styles.
You project fiercely child. Perhaps you are in a cult, or look for one to join?
ugh, bigotry stinks up the discussion from the start. Just ugh.
Tough truths, child.
Zionism <> Judaism.
Correct. But the people who conflate the two ALL THE FUCKING TIME are Israeli Jews.
And no, I don’t agree with his comment.
America doesn’t need any foreign oil. America can also do without domestic oil.
Those who continue to blame Jews for the ills of the world are the reincarnations of Adolph Hitler and his masters of propaganda.
Hitler’s propaganda? You mean the holohoax? That’s Jew propaganda, silly child.
All wars are bankers wars, but… yes, I’m aware of the demographic breakdown. Still, it’s a class issue more than anything else. It’s organized crime. It just so happens it’s the Jewish mafia and their fascist cronies (Betar and that ilk) who are at the seat of the table atm.
Jews were the capitalists that banked the communists Bolsheviks in 1917.
In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune.
