Literally the only thing State Dept-backed mafiosi like Carlos Vecchio did in or around Venezuela’s US embassy was usher a band of middle class emigre thugs to its gates to assault and harass activists defending its rightful, UN-recognized owners. Fail.

“I obeyed my conscience rather than the law,” ex-DIA analyst Ana Belén Montes declared on her way into federal prison

Accused of spying for Cuba, she's a hero on the island, where she foiled countless US destabilization operations.

And now she is free.

Tonight on Tucker Carlson Coretta Scott King’s cousin said MLK was “assassinated by the US gov’t” bc he shifted from discussing “racial bigotry to class & the war in Vietnam”

Tucker said while he doesn’t know who killed MLK, it’s “very obvious” James Earl Ray did not act alone

Canada’s UN ambassador Bob Rae is a useful idiot for US empire who supplied Haiti’s dictatorship with heavy weapons, props up Israel’s apartheid regime and lusts for war with Russia

Bob hates antiwar activists because they call his crimes out to his face

Jared: speaking of clouding public perception, any reason why your article on the OPCW's Douma probe doesn't mention that OPCW whistleblowers, backed by five OPCW veterans including its founding leader, have accused the OPCW of censoring the Douma probe?

While McCarthy makes a martyr out of Ilhan Omar for twisted reasons, many Somalis and Ethiopians countered Ilhan's portrayal of herself as the voice of Africa by pointing to her cynical advancement of US imperialism in the Horn of Africa
