Plan Cóndor 2.0: Tras el golpe en Bolivia, Trump declara a Nicaragua ‘amenaza a su seguridad nacional’ y apunta hacia México

Luego de presidir el golpe en Bolivia, los Estados Unidos declararon a Nicaragua como una “amenaza a la seguridad nacional” anunciando nuevas sanciones, al mismo tiempo que Trump designó a los carteles del narcotráfico en México como “terroristas” sin descartar una intervención militar.

Parte 3 -  Mas sanciones agresivas contra Nicaragua

El principal servicio de información del gobierno de los Estados Unidos, Voice of América (VOA), indicó que la extensión de la orden ejecutiva vendrá acompañada con más ataques económicos.

Carlos Trujillo, el embajador de Washington ante la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA), le dijo a VOA que “continuará la presión contra Nicaragua”.

El representante ante la OEA agregó que Trump anunciará en las próximas semanas una nueva ronda de sanciones contra el gobierno nicaragüense.

VOA claramente manifestó que “Nicaragua, junto a Cuba y Venezuela, es uno de los países latinoamericanos que se ha vuelto prioridad en el empleo de presión diplomática y económica para lograr el cambio de régimen”.

Esta no es una frase retórica. El Departamento del Tesoro actualizó la sección de sanciones relacionadas con Nicaragua el 8 de noviembre.

Y en septiembre, la Oficina para el Control de Activos en el Extranjero (OFAC, por sus siglas en inglés) del Departamento del Tesoro anunció una serie adicional de “regulaciones integrales”, reforzando las sanciones existentes contra Nicaragua.

El reportaje de VOA citó a varios nicaragüenses de derecha que pidieron abiertamente más presión estadounidense contra su país.

Bianca Jagger, la celebridad y activista de oposición que estuvo casada con el líder de los Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger, hizo un llamado a los Estados Unidos a que impusiera más sanciones, particularmente contra el ejército.

“[Las sanciones] no han tocado al ejército nicaragüense porque [los funcionarios estadounidenses] tienen la esperanza de que actúen como lo hicieron en Bolivia”, dijo Jagger, haciendo referencia a los oficiales que derrocaron violentamente al presidente democráticamente electo de Bolivia.

Muchos de estos líderes militares fueron entrenados en la Escuela de las Américas, una notoria base de subversión que se remonta a los años de la Operación Cóndor. En los últimos días, los medios latinoamericanos han estado repletos de trabajos que destacan que para llevar a cabo el putsch los soldados bolivianos recibieron hasta 50 mil dólares y los generales 1 millón.

Agregó VOA que “en el caso del gobierno centroamericano, el efecto que tendrán las sanciones podrá ser mayor porque es un país económicamente vulnerable”.

VOA citó a Roberto Courtney, un prominente activista en el exilio y director ejecutivo del grupo de oposición Ética y Transparencia, que monitorea elecciones en Nicaragua y que recibe apoyo del brazo para el cambio de régimen del gobierno estadounidense, la National Endowment for Democracy (la NED).

Courtney, que dice ser activista de derechos humanos, salivó sobre el pronóstico de la guerra económica estadounidense contra su país, diciéndole a VOA que “hay una sutil diferencia [entre Nicaragua y Bolivia]… la vulnerabilidad económica hace que las sanciones posiblemente sean más efectivas”.

Courtney, descrito por VOA como un “experto en procesos electorales” agregó que “si hay un palo, también debe haber una zanahoria”. Dijo que la OEA podría ayudar a aplicar presión política y diplomática contra el gobierno de Nicaragua.

Estas sanciones unilaterales de los Estados Unidos son ilegales bajo la legislación internacional, y consideradas un acto de guerra. El canciller de Irán, Javad Zarif, ha caracterizado a la guerra económica “terrorismo financiero”, explicando que apunta de forma desproporcionada a los civiles para volcarlos contra su gobierno.

Figuras de alto nivel de la derecha nicaragüense aplaudieron a Trump por extender la orden ejecutiva y por solicitar nuevas sanciones contra su país.

La Alianza Cívica por la Justicia y la Democracia, un frente de oposición que reúne a varios grupos, muchos de los cuales son financiados por la NED, celebraron la orden.

Netanyahu Is Getting His War Between The U.S. & Iran!

The Jimmy Dore Show   Little progress is being made in negotiations between the United States and Iran over the latter’s nuclear program, and that may be by design. The U.S. is demanding a complete dismantling of Iran’s nuclear enrichment program, which is a non-starter for the Iranians. Meanwhile, the U.S. appears to have reneged on a promise to get a ceasefire and humanitarian aid into Gaza in exchange for the release of the last American hostage, so Hamas — and by extension Iran — feel the U.S. cannot be trusted in negotiations. Jimmy Dore and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Israel appears to be orchestrating a U.S. attack on Iran that few Americans have any interest in.    Related: Trump makes key move to beat Biden in their race to start a war with Iran

Trump in SHOCK: Putin & China FLIP His Grave Mistake into STUNNING Victory

Danny Haiphong   Putin & China just gave Trump a rude BRICS awakening, and this bombshell will change everything for generations to come. Geopolitical analyst Ben Norton details the truth about Trump's biggest failure against the rising power of BRICS led by Russia and China, and why the US's role as super power is now in serious question.     Related: Trump's tariffs: A unique opportunity for BRICS and the Global South to fully escape from dollar tyranny

Trump's attempt to divide Russia & China is failing, badly

Geopolitical Economy Report   Donald Trump claimed he would "un-unite" Russia and China, but the US divide-and-conquer strategy is failing. In a meeting in Moscow celebrating the 80th anniversary of their nations' victory in World War Two, Presidents Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin reaffirmed that "China-Russia relations have reached the highest level in history" and will "jointly resist any attempts to interfere with and disrupt the traditional friendship and deep mutual trust between China and Russia".

Inside Iran's Savak torture museum

The Grayzone   Caution: This report contains depictions of simulated violence that may upset some viewers. Max Blumenthal tours one of the most disturbing museums on the planet. Set in Tehran's former Ebrat Prison run by the anti-sabotage unit of Shah Reza Pahlavi's Savak intelligence services, the museum is filled with shockingly graphic exhibits featuring lifelike mannequins recreating the hideous torture tactics deployed to repress dissidents rebelling against Iran's monarchy. Many mannequins on display represent notorious torturers who either fled or were executed after the Islamic revolution in 1979, while others are modeled after famous prisoners locked away in Ebrat like the current Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamanei.  

"Kidnapped in Int'l Waters": Israel Intercepts Gaza-Bound Aid Ship, Detains Greta Thunberg & Others

Democracy Now!   Eleven peace activists and one journalist on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, the "Madleen," were detained by Israeli soldiers as their ship carrying vital humanitarian aid for starving Palestinians approached Gaza.    The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces in the middle of the night in international waters. Its supplies were seized and communications jammed. The unarmed activists will likely be transported to Israeli detention or "immediately deported," says Ann Wright, a U.S. military veteran who has participated in four Freedom Flotilla journeys and now serves on the steering committee of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. She calls on citizens of countries around the world to push for the activists' release and an end to Israel's war on Gaza. 

14,000 babies could die if aid doesn’t enter Gaza in 48 hours, UN warns

Some 14,000 babies could die in Gaza in 48 hours if aid does not reach them in time, the UN’s humanitarian chief, Tom Fletcher, told the BBC today. Though Israel said it would allow “basic aid” into Gaza, only five trucks entered the enclave yesterday, two carrying shrouds to help bury Palestinians killed in Israel’s bombs. Others were in Gaza, but were being held by occupation forces and had not reached Palestinians. This was the first delivery of aid since 2 March, when Israel completely sealed the enclave. This, Fletcher explained, is a “drop in the ocean” and totally inadequate for a population of over 2.3 million, and for which no aid has been allowed to enter for 80 days.    “Tonnes of food is blocked at the [Gaza] border” by Israel, Director General of the World Health Organisation (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said yesterday. This comes just weeks after the UN agency of Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) warned that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians eat only one mea...

Never, Ever Let Anyone Forget What They Did To Gaza

by Caitlin Johnstone   I will never forget the Gaza holocaust. I will never let anyone else forget about the Gaza holocaust. No matter what happens or how this thing turns out, I will never let anyone my voice touches forget that our rulers did the most evil things imaginable right in front of us and lied to us about it the entire time. I will never stop doing everything I can with my own small platform to help ensure that the perpetrators of this mass atrocity are brought to justice. I will never stop doing everything I can to help bring down the western empire and to help free Palestine from the Zionist entity. I will never forget those shaking children. Those tiny shredded bodies. Those starved, skeletal forms. The explosions followed by screams. The atrocities followed by western media silence.   I will never forget, and I will never forgive. I will never forgive our leaders. I will never forgive the western press. I will never forgive Israel. I will never forgive the main...

They Will Starve You In A Killing Cage Too

by Nate Bear   Starvation is taking hold in Gaza. Twenty-nine people have starved to death in the last few days.  Death by starvation is horrific, the body feeding on itself, first consuming carbohydrates and fats, and then moving on to the protein parts of tissue. Once these are used up, vital organs and tissues start to fail as they aren’t being nourished by essential nutrients. The heart, lungs, muscles, ovaries, testes and brain physically shrink and shrivel. The kidneys start to fail. Eventually the body begins scavenging muscle, including the heart muscle. When this starts to happen, death is hours away, preceded by hallucinations, severe mental disturbances and convulsions. With less stored fat and higher metabolic needs, children die first. Starving parents hold their dying children, at this point nothing but skin and bone, in their arms. Adults can survive anywhere between twenty and forty days without food. Those already weak, chronically ill or immuno-compromised di...
