Thank goodness for independent journalists, the International Committee of the Red Cross, the United Nations, and the vast majority of nations refusing to go along with Washington’s regime-change operation in Venezuela. From George W. Bush to Barack Obama to Donald Trump, what we see in U.S. policy toward Venezuela is yet more continuity — a superpower-nation with a history of… Read More »TRUMP’S REPUGNANCE IMPEDES WASHINGTON’S IMPERIAL AGENDA IN VENEZUELA… AND IT’S ABOUT TIME!

“At long last, have you left no sense of decency?” Once upon a time, there were actual liberals in the United States of America. This noble breed, now all but extinct, reflexively doubted the unsupported claims of warmongering politicians and America’s serially dishonest intelligence agencies.

Protest is a healthy thing, and the vast majority of these marches have been peaceful, unmarred by violence committed by the protesters or the state. After all, this isn’t Occupy Wall Street we’re talking about… Read More »Yes, Virginia, there really is a racial dimension to the U.S. coup in Venezuela…

You wouldn’t know it from watching CNN, but Bernie Sanders’ highest approval rating has consistently come from African-Americans. Coming in at a close second are Hispanics, followed by Asian-Americans. (Review the data, if you dare.) 73% of African-Americans have a favorable opinion of Bernie Sanders. 68% of Hispanic-Americans have a favorable opinion of Bernie Sanders. 62% of Asian-Americans have a… Read More »ERASING PEOPLE OF COLOR IS THE CORPORATE MEDIA’S SPECIALTY…
