Mexico’s Far Right Tries Soft Coup Against AMLO

July 20, 2019 Arturo Sanchez Jimenez, Resumen-english.org Educate! AMLO, Latin America, Regime Change

The far right is planning a soft coup or silent coup against Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO), according to an investigation carried out by the alternative videocollective Canal 6 de Julio. The scenario would first be to delegitimize the AMLO and then oust him by means of campaigns and messages in media outlets and through social media; by organizing opposition groups and protests; provoking authorities; spreading fake news and rumors; among other maneuvers, similar to the situations that happened recently in other Latin American countries such as Honduras, Argentina and Brazil.

“DAAAAAMN”

On the afternoon of August 28, Car Wash prosecutor Orlando Martello sent a message to the group relating a telephone conversation he’d had with Vladimir Aras. At the time the secretary of international judicial cooperation for the public prosecutor, Aras had said in early 2016 that he did not trust Ortega. “We have good contacts with one or two prosecutors in Venezuela, but the PGR” — the prosecutor general — “there does not inspire confidence in us,” he said in one of the Car Wash prosecutors’ chat groups. But based on the tone of the call with Martello...

Guatemala and Honduras were expecting the funds...

A Year After Nicaragua’s Coup, The Media’s Regime-Change Deceptions Are Still Unraveling

July 17, 2019 John Perry, Thegrayzone.com Educate! Latin America, Media, Nicaragua, Regime Change

Last year’s failed coup in Nicaragua erupted when student protests against social security reforms quickly turned into an armed attempt to bring down the government of Daniel Ortega. The regime-change attempt was a battle for people’s minds as well as for control of the streets. Violence was used to terrorize government supporters, but it was even more important as a propaganda vehicle. A journalist shot while on camera, demonstrators hit by sniper fire, or an arson attack on a family home were all high-profile crimes that were immediately blamed on the government.

What Is the Biggest Lie About The Syrian War? Western War Propaganda, Regime Change, Terrorism

July 13, 2019 By Mark Taliano and Cindy Sheehan, Globalresearch.ca Educate! Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Regime Change, Syria, Wars and Militarism

In this episode of Cindy Sheehan’s Soapbox, Cindy and Mark discuss criminal Western war propaganda, how it fabricates tacit “consent” from ostensibly “anti-war” protestors, and how it enables the current overseas holocaust that imperils us all. Some of the issues raised throughout the interview include these: “Anti-war” protestors embrace the “brutal dictator” myth, oblivious to known facts on-the-ground such as the multitudes of displaced Syrians in Lebanon who clamored to vote for President Assad and even a 2013 NATO...

Statement On Human Rights In Venezuela

July 12, 2019 Staff, Taskforceamericas.org Educate! Human Rights, Regime Change, Venezuela

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet’s July 5 report on Venezuela echoes the US government’s talking points, which are designed to terminate Venezuela’s two-decade-old Bolivarian Revolution, without acknowledging Venezuela’s manifest accomplishments or even recognizing victims of US-backed rightwing violence in Venezuela. A more factual report would have included: What amounts to a war by the US government on Venezuela is motivated by the accomplishments of the Bolivarian Revolution, not its faults.

On January 23, 2019 with the support of US Vice President Mike Pence, Juan Guaidó, a white supremacist, anti-people, opposition “leader” declared himself interim president of Venezuela under the pretense that Nicolás Maduro, the pro-people candidate, had stolen the 2018 election. Shortly thereafter the white supremacist, anti-people alliance including Canada, Israel, several European countries, and various Latin American nations known as the Lima Group followed suit in recognizing Guaidó.

Crisis & Critique: Norway, Bachelet, And The Twilight Of Guaido’s Insurrection

July 11, 2019 By Ociel Lopez, Venezuelanalysis.com Educate! coup, Latin America, Regime Change, US Imperialism, Venezuela

Guaido’s uprising is going through its terminal phrase. He does not yet appear to have reached his end as leader, as he still produces and consolidates an important consensus among the opposition. What has decisively failed is his attempt to form a government without elections with the backing of the hawks in Washington. In almost six months since his self-swearing in as “interim president,” it has become palpable that his governing is truly impossible.

Mass Exodus From Venezuela: Anther Big Regime Change Lie

July 10, 2019 By Pasqualina Curcio Curcio, Redangostura.org.ve Educate! Latin America, Regime Change, US Imperialism, Venezuela

It is not true that more than 3 million people have emigrated from Venezuela during 2018. Donald Trump, as well as all the White House spokesmen, have said tirelessly that Venezuela is going through a deep humanitarian crisis that has forced "millions of Venezuelans to flee". Phrase that they have tried to position to justify an intervention. This statement does not coincide with the data published on the website of the Central Intelligence Agency -CIA- The World Factbook . The CIA reports that during the year 2018 the net migration rate in Venezuela was -1.2 migrants / 1000 inhabitants.

‘Weaponizing Human Rights’: UN Chief Bachelet’s Venezuela Report Follows US Regime Change Script

July 10, 2019 Anya Parampil, Thegrayzone.com Educate! Latin America, Regime Change, United Nations, Venezuela

When United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet traveled to Venezuela earlier this year, she met with an array of citizens who lost family members to right-wing violence in the country. Among them was Inés Esparragoza, whose 20-year-old son, Orlando Figuera, was doused with gasoline and lit on fire by an opposition mob during violent anti-government riots, known as guarimbas, in May 2017. “He was stabbed, beaten and cruelly burnt alive,” Esparragoza declared before Bachelet in March. “Simply because of the color of his shirt, the color of his skin, and because he said he was Chavista.”

Reading Reuters Between The Lines: Why The US Puppet President Of Venezuela Is Toast

July 8, 2019 By Roger D. Harris, Mintpressnews.com Educate! Latin America, Regime Change, US Imperialism, Venezuela

Even the corporate media are losing enthusiasm for the US government’s ploy to replace the democratically elected President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela with the US-anointed security asset Juan Guaido. Reuters reports in a July 1 article, “Disappointed Venezuelans lose patience with Guaido as Maduro hangs on,” that the US-backed “military uprising” has “unraveled.” A critical reading of the article explains why. Reuters correctly notes that “the 35-year old (Guaido) had risen to prominence three months before,” though a little more background information would have been helpful.

Lula Is Innocent. Free Him Now.

July 6, 2019 Tony Burke, Jacobin Magazine. Create! Brazil, Criminal Justice, Elections, Regime Change

The revelations uncovered about the case against former Brazilian president Lula da Silva, jailed in April last year, vindicate a year of campaigning for his freedom. But this isn’t just about Lula, the consequences of this miscarriage of justice are huge. This last week the Intercept published a range of documents that show Lula’s conviction was politically motivated and aimed at stopping him running in the 2018 presidential election. With front-runner Lula out of the race (he was polling over double of his election rivals at the time of his arrest) far-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro went on to win the election. Lula’s prosecuting Judge Sergio Moro was then appointed Minister of Justice.

Today marks the tenth anniversary of the US-backed coup that overthrow the elected president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, who was dragged out of the presidential palace in his pajamas by armed troops, bundled onto an airplane and flown out of the country.
