The America Problem
The America Problem Way back when the West was pressuring the apartheid government to commit suicide on behalf of its people, they did a remarkable thing. They sequestered their nuclear program, making sure the information and material would not fall into the hands of whatever came after apartheid. It was remarkable, because no other state […]
‘Media Bias Fact Check’ Smears WikiLeaks, Supports Western Propaganda Machine
‘Media Bias Fact Check’ Smears WikiLeaks, Supports Western Propaganda Machine With the latest US-backed coup underway in Venezuela and Roger Stone’s arrest as much an exercise in theater as the rest of his political career, one may wonder what a critique of Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) and similar sites could contribute to the conversation in our […]
Project Fear Goes To ’11’: Brexit Could Lead To Thousands Of Deaths, Mass Hunger
Project Fear Goes To ’11’: Brexit Could Lead To Thousands Of Deaths, Mass Hunger If you listen to the government tell it, a post-“hard” Brexit Britain will inevitably resemble the post-apocalyptic Australia from “Mad Max”: A post-apocalyptic hellscape where Britons will be forced to battle it out “Thunderdome”-style for access to scare essentials like food, […]
Trump’s Venezuela Fiasco
Trump’s Venezuela Fiasco Last week President Trump announced that the United States would no longer recognize Nicholas Maduro as president of Venezuela and would recognize the head of its national assembly, Jose Guaido, as president instead. US thus openly backs regime change. But what has long been a dream of the neocons may well turn […]
The Empire’s Propagandists
The Empire’s Propagandists Drawing by Nathaniel St. Clair With most media attention in the US on the government shutdown and border wall stand-off spectacle, the Trump administration has been quietly ramping up US militarism around the world. And it has set its sights on Venezuela, once again, by supporting a coup. Whether or not one […]
If The World Understood Sovereignty, It Could End All Our Problems
If The World Understood Sovereignty, It Could End All Our Problems My own Australia has of course joined the chorus of US lackeys who are refusing to recognize Venezuela’s only legitimate and elected government, recognizing instead the presidency of some guy named Juan who decided to name himself Venezuela’s president with the blessing of the United States government. A […]
John Bolton Openly Admits He Wants Maduro Out, American Oil Companies In
John Bolton Openly Admits He Wants Maduro Out, American Oil Companies In Embattled Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro might be forgiven for thinking there’s a foreign-backed conspiracy against him in repeatedly accusing the US of engineering a “coup” and waging “economic war” against his regime, especially given that US advisers are now quite openly admitting this is precisely […]

Of Suspected Spies & Cathedrals… and Western Media Hypocrisy
Of Suspected Spies & Cathedrals… and Western Media Hypocrisy It’s hilarious to see the double standards of Western media applied in the case of alleged American spy Paul Whelan who is being detained in Russia and facing trial. Whelan, a former US marine, was denied bail this week in a Moscow court after it emerged […]
Flagrant, Cynical, Public attempt at coup d’état – Venezuela
Flagrant, Cynical, Public attempt at coup d’état – Venezuela It came as no surprise this past week when the US Administration made good on their promises to attempt to Regime Change Venezuela, the third part of John Bolton’s Troika of Tyranny, the other parts being Cuba and Nicaragua. But there were a few surprises. Saker readers would […]

The Dirty Hand of the National Endowment for Democracy in Venezuela Anti-government protests in Venezuela that seek regime change have been led by several individuals and organizations with close ties to the U.S. government.

Antiwar Hero Medea Benjamin Disrupts Venezuela Coup Circle Jerk
Antiwar Hero Medea Benjamin Disrupts Venezuela Coup Circle Jerk Before they launch missiles, they launch narratives. Before they drop bombs, they drop talking points. Before they implement crushing starvation sanctions, they demonize and condemn. Before they invade, they propagandize. Before the killing starts, manipulation paves the way. For this reason, the front line of any antiwar […]
Venezuela? The bad guys are on Wall St.
Venezuela? The bad guys are on Wall St. With Washington talking up a military coup (Democrats for once in no hurry to berate Trump on the issue) and Russia a sufficiently interested party to have flown nuclear capable bombers into Caracas last month, it behoves us all to get up to speed on Venezuela. It should go […]
