Η άθλια προπαγάνδα σχετικά με τη Βενεζουέλα


Η άθλια Δυτική προπαγάνδα σχετικά με τη Βενεζουέλα δεν έχει προηγούμενο και τα Ελληνικά ΜΜΕ την αναπαράγουν χωρίς κανένα ενδοιασμό. Είναι φυσικό να περιμένουμε κάτι τέτοιο από τα ιδιωτικά κανάλια, όχι όμως και από τη δημόσια τηλεόραση που θα πρεπε να είναι αντίβαρο στα ιδιωτικά μέσα μαζικής παραπληροφόρησης.

Δυστυχώς, η ΕΡΤ αντί να κάνει τη δική της έρευνα και να παράγει αξιόπιστη πρωτογενή είδηση, αναπαράγει τα ρεπορτάζ του Reuters και άλλων Δυτικών ναυαρχίδων μαζικής παραπληροφόρησης και πλύσης εγκεφάλου.

Αν κάποιος λέει τη μισή αλήθεια, αρκεί να θεωρηθεί προπαγάνδα. Γιατί η άλλη μισή μπορεί να δώσει μια εντελώς διαφορετική εικόνα τοποθετώντας τα γεγονότα στη σωστή τους διάσταση. Αλλά στην περίπτωση της Βενεζουέλας τα ΜΜΕ δεν λένε ούτε το 10% από αυτά που συμβαίνουν.

Πέρα από τα γνωστά μοτίβα περί 'ανθρωπιστικής κρίσης' κ.λ.π., παρακάτω μπορείτε εν συντομία να μάθετε τι δεν σας λένε οι παπαγάλοι των Δυτικών ΜΜΕ:

1) Ο Νικολάς Μαδούρο είναι ο νόμιμα εκλεγμένος πρόεδρος και η αντιπολίτευση σαμποτάρισε τις εκλογές αρνούμενη να συμμετάσχει παρόλο που υπήρχαν διεθνείς παρατηρητές.

2) Ο πρώην Αμερικανός πρόεδρος, Τζίμυ Κάρτερ, έχει πει ότι η Βενεζουέλα ακολουθεί τις «καλύτερες δημοκρατικές διαδικασίες στον κόσμο».

3) Οι ΗΠΑ ξεκίνησαν έναν ανελέητο οικονομικό πόλεμο κατά της Βενεζουέλας (όπως έκαναν με τη Χιλή το 1973), από τότε που ο Ούγκο Τσάβες τόλμησε να εθνικοποιήσει την εταιρία πετρελαίου.

4) Τα έσοδα από το πετρέλαιο χρησιμοποιήθηκαν για κοινωνικά προγράμματα στήριξης των φτωχών στρωμάτων και για άλλες δράσεις όπως η καταπολέμηση του αναλφαβητισμού.

5) Πρόσφατα, ένα από τα πιο αδίστακτα 'γεράκια' της Ουάσιγκτον, ο σύμβουλος ασφαλείας του Τραμπ, Τζον Μπόλτον, παραδέχθηκε με θράσος σε εκπομπή του Αμερικανικού δικτύου Fox, ότι «Θα έχει μεγάλη διαφορά από οικονομικής πλευράς για τις ΗΠΑ αν πετύχουμε τη συμμετοχή αμερικανικών πετρελαϊκών εταιρειών στις επενδύσεις και την παραγωγή πετρελαίου στη Βενεζουέλα.»


6) Από τα τέλη Ιανουαρίου, ο ειδικός απεσταλμένος των ΗΠΑ για τη Βενεζουέλα είναι ο Έλιοτ Άμπραμς. Ως διπλωμάτης ο Άμπραμς στο παρελθόν έχει υποστηρίξει πολιτικές πραξικοπημάτων και αμερικανικών επεμβάσεων στη Λατινική Αμερική. Είναι γνωστός για την συμμετοχή του στην υποστήριξη της χούντας στη Γουατεμάλα τη δεκαετία του ’80. Είναι επίσης γνωστός για τη συμμετοχή του στην υπόθεση Ιράν-Contra, όπου οι ΗΠΑ χρησιμοποίησαν χρήματα που κέρδιζαν από μυστικές πωλήσεις όπλων στο Ιράν για να χρηματοδοτήσουν τα ακροδεξιά τάγματα θανάτου των Contras στη Νικαράγουα.

7) Η Βενεζουέλα αποδέχεται την ανθρωπιστική βοήθεια από διεθνείς οργανισμούς και άλλες χώρες που προσφέρεται με καλή πίστη και όχι ως πρόσχημα για μία ακόμα ιμπεριαλιστική επέμβαση, όπως κάνουν οι ΗΠΑ και οι πιστοί τους σύμμαχοι. 

8) Ο ΟΗΕ και ο Ερυθρός Σταυρός έχουν κάνει επανειλημμένα εκκλήσεις να μη χρησιμοποιηθεί η οικονομική κρίση της Βενεζουέλας σαν πολιτικό όπλο.

9) Πρόσφατα, μια ομάδα μελών του ΟΗΕ συμφώνησε με τη νόμιμη κυβέρνηση της Βενεζουέλας να προχωρήσουν σε ενέργειες που θα αποτρέπουν τις ΗΠΑ να παραβιάζουν τις συνθήκες που εξασφαλίζουν την κυριαρχία άλλων κρατών.


10) Η Βενεζουέλα δεν έχει Σοσιαλιστικό καθεστώς. Αν είχε, θα μπορούσε να προστατευτεί από τον οικονομικό πόλεμο καθώς θα ήταν πολύ δύσκολο οι ντόπιοι ολιγάρχες να σαμποτάρουν την οικονομία σε συνεργασία με τους Αμερικανούς ιμπεριαλιστές.

Παρόλο που οι ιμπεριαλιστές δεν μπαίνουν στον κόπο ούτε καν να κρατάν τα προσχήματα, τα ΜΜΕ επιμένουν να πουλάνε το παραμύθι της 'ανθρωπιστικής επέμβασης'. Προφανώς πιστεύουν ότι απευθύνονται σε ηλίθιους που δεν έχουν μνήμη από τα μεγάλα ψέματα που οδήγησαν σε καταστροφικούς πολέμους και διαλυμένα κράτη.

The wounded US imperialist beast becomes more dangerous than ever as desperately seeks to start a WWIII

globinfo freexchange   It seems that the declining Western superpower is losing ground and tries hardly to avoid the inevitable.    The US imperialist beast, despite all the destruction that causes, is failing to fulfill its utter objectives. Which in short, are the dissolution of Russia and China, looting their vast resources, as well as the full expansion of the destructive neoliberal model throughout these areas and other countries allied with the Sino-Russian bloc.   Most importantly, the wounded beast is loosing much of its strength due to the rapid de-dollarization that has started approximately ten years ago, as dollar had become the front line of the US imperialist sweeping force since the early 70s.   As if nothing has changed, the beast insists on using the same tools to prevail in the global geopolitical field, ignoring the unprecedented changes and complexities under current circumstances.    In a move (as it seems) of desperation, the United States House of Representative

Atlanta Police Violently Arrest Emory Students & Faculty to Clear Gaza Solidarity Encampment

Democracy Now!   As a wave of student protests against Israel’s war on Gaza continues to spread from coast to coast, schools and law enforcement have responded with increasing brutality to campus encampments.    One of the most violent police crackdowns took place at Emory University in Atlanta on Thursday, when local and state police swept onto the campus just hours after students had set up tents on the quad in protest against Israel’s war on Gaza as well as the planned police training center known as Cop City.    Police used tear gas and stun guns to break up the encampment as they wrestled people to the ground, and are accused of using rubber bullets. Among those arrested were a few faculty members.    Democracy Now! spoke with two of the arrested professors: Noëlle McAfee, chair of the philosophy department, and Emil’ Keme, professor of English and Indigenous studies. Also with Palestinian American organizer and medical student Umaymah Mohammad, who describes how Emory has repeat

"Student Intifada": Stanford, University of Michigan, Indiana University, & more

The Real News Network   Seven months into Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, a student-led grassroots movement is spreading across the US and beyond, hearkening back to the student protests of the ‘60s that played a pivotal role in ending the US war in Vietnam.    In what is being called the “student intifada,” with over 100 encampments going up at different college and university campuses, students, faculty, grad students, and other campus community members are exercising civil disobedience, occupying space on campuses, defying brutal repression from administrators and police, combatting skewed and wildly lopsided narratives in corporate media, and pressuring their universities to “disclose and divest” their investments in companies and financial institutions connected to Israel.    TRNN speaks with encampment organizers/participants from the University of Michigan, the Indiana University, and Stanford University, and gets updates from encampments from New York to California. 

Yanis Varoufakis Banned from Germany as Berlin Police Raid & Shut Down Palestinian Conference

Democracy Now!   As Germany intensifies its crackdown on pro-Palestinian voices, Democracy Now! spoke with Greek economist and politician Yanis Varoufakis, one of the planned speakers at a conference in Berlin last weekend that was forcibly shut down by police. The Palestine Congress was scheduled to be held for three days, but police stormed the venue as the first panelist spoke.    Germany's Interior Ministry had also banned some conference speakers from even entering the country, including Varoufakis, the Palestinian British surgeon Ghassan Abu-Sittah and the Palestinian researcher Salman Abu Sitta.    " This is not about protecting Jewish lives and Jews from antisemitism. It's all about protecting the right of Israel to commit any war crime of its choice, " says Varoufakis.    Varoufakis speaks also about freeing Julian Assange and his new book Technofeudalism .      Related: Germany again on a dark path towards fascism

Pro-Palestinian Campus Encampments Spread Nationwide Amid Mass Arrests at Columbia, NYU & Yale

Democracy Now!   Palestinian solidarity protests and encampments are appearing on college campuses from Massachusetts to California to protest Israel's attacks on Gaza and to call for divestment from Israeli apartheid. This week, police have raided encampments and arrested students at Yale and New York University.    Palestinian American scholar and New York University professor Helga Tawil-Souri describes forming a faculty buffer to protect students, negotiating with police, and the ensuing crackdown that led to over 100 arrests Monday night.    Uptown in New York City, the encampment at Columbia University is entering its seventh day despite mass arrests of protesters last week. "In my opinion, the NYPD were called in under false pretenses by the president of the university," says Joseph Slaughter, professor at Columbia University. "The university is being run as a sort of ad-hocracy at this point, the senior administration making up policies and procedures and pro

'Make no mistake, the full-scale assault on Rafah would be a human catastrophe': Guterres

Al Jazeera English   United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has appealed for an end to the bloodshed in Gaza. He says the Middle East is at risk of explosion if the fighting continues. In his speech, Guterres urged Israel’s allies to press its leadership to stop the war on Gaza.  “ I appeal to all those with influence over Israel to do everything in their power to help avert even more tragedy. The international community has a shared responsibility to promote a humanitarian ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages, and a massive surge in life-saving aid, ” he said. “ It is time for the parties to seize the opportunity and secure a deal for the sake of their own people. ”

Day 1846: Julian Assange still in prison and under slow-motion execution by the Anglo-American imperialist criminals

failed evolution   On 11 April 2019, the Ecuadorian government of traitor Lenin Moreno, invited the Metropolitan Police into the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and they arrested Julian Assange . Since then, Assange is kept in Belmarsh high security prison in London, without actual charges.   The real reason world's number one political prisoner is still kept in this high security prison, is because he exposed horrendous war crimes carried out by the US imperialists and their allies.   The ruthless Western imperialist regime wants to punish the No1 real journalist in the world and make him an example for any Whistleblower or real journalist who will attempt to expose its big crimes in the future.   And the Anglo-American axis has now become officially a fascist coalition , framed by the rest of its Western pets. UK's Home Secretary Priti Patel, one of the most ruthless ever, decided to extradite Julian Assange to US. No surprise of course. The only question we had in mind is
