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.

Trump's tariffs: A unique opportunity for BRICS and the Global South to fully escape from dollar tyranny

globinfo freexchange   Does Trump know what he is doing? Well, yes and no. While many interpretate his latest move, mostly as an attempt to halt China, his main goal is to give the final blow to the neoliberal order on behalf of his oligarchs .  From this perspective, Trump's unprecedented decision to decide mass tariffs against almost everyone, was an act of strategic hit against the global free market neoliberalism, with the financial capital  at its top. And that's because this dominant-for-almost-half-century system, identifies restrictions and protectionism as major threats against its own existence. In other words, Trump acted as a commander of the capitalist faction that wants to beat its neoliberal rivals and put itself in charge, through a new transformation of capitalism into a 21st century corporate feudalism.   Concerning China, Trump's move may have some negative impact on its economy for a while, since China has chosen to partially play by the rule...

Deranged euroclowns want to revive a nazi-origin project!

globinfo freexchange   Behind the ridiculously cartoonish latest spot of the EU that gives "instructions" to the European citizens on how to deal with a major crisis during the first hours, lies a secret desire.    The deranged euroclowns of the crypto-fascist extreme center , are trying to build up a condition of consent inside the minds of Europeans, which is related to their biggest wet dream: an autonomous imperialist European army. The idea was not born suddenly because of Trump's hostile attitude against his own allies. From the early 50s, pan-European networks of neo-Nazis were created. In May 1951, the European Social Movement (MSE) was founded in Malmö, Sweden. Essentially, it was about projecting the ideology of the German SRP on a pan-European level. The MSE, which would remain active until the 1980s, proclaimed the need for Europe to emancipate itself from the divisive tutelage of the USA and the USSR, called for the defense of the “European race” against th...

by Nate Bear   Part 3 - Cruel Britannia   The UK is moving ahead with large welfare cuts for disabled people, including those with cancer. On TV the other day, the UK’s health secretary Wes Streeting said that people with cancer should be in work, not at home resting. Alongside this, the government has said that to cut youth employment it will push young people to join the army. This, of course, is in the context of a massive expenditure on military weapons in the face of the Russian bogeyman.   What’s happening in the UK under a nominally centre-left Labour government is a good reminder that there is never a lesser evil if your leaders are neoliberals. Balancing the books on the backs of the poorest and most vulnerable in society is the north star of all neoliberals, whether they call themselves centrists, left wing or right wing. Cruelty is the policy and the point.    Yet the last few years have also been a good reminder that everything is a choice. Cov...

UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese: World is watching a live genocide in Gaza and doing nothing

The New Arab   As Israel’s war on Gaza enters its 19th month, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese is sounding the alarm louder than ever: the world is watching a live genocide — and doing nothing to stop it. In an exclusive interview with The New Arab , Albanese describes the devastation in Gaza as unparalleled since WWII. Entire neighbourhoods lie in ruins, tens of thousands are dead, and 91% of Gaza’s population is at risk of malnutrition. Over 60,000 children show signs of cognitive impairment due to starvation.  “This is not just war. This is genocide in real time,” she says. “What we are seeing now is the destruction of a people who refuse to leave.” Despite UN mandates and international law, Albanese says the global system is paralysed, and governments, corporations, and even universities are complicit. “If Palestine were a crime scene, it would bear all our fingerprints.”

US Official EXPOSES Truth About Gaza From The Inside

by Nate Bear   Part 2 - The genocide resumes   The day before the Wiz deal, Israel resumed its genocide of Gaza with an unhinged bloodthirsty rampage, the deadliest twenty-four hours in the last nearly eighteen months of genocide. A high bar had been set, and it was cleared. They attacked at night, itself an act of utter cowardice and sadism, and slaughtered hundreds as they slept in tents. In tents. Close to one hundred babies and young children were killed. The overall death toll exceeds 400 and is rising. As expected, there is not a flicker of condemnation from world leaders, many of whom are arming Israel with the weapons and intelligence it needs for genocide. The British air force spent the ceasefire period gathering intelligence on Palestinians and feeding it to Israel so they could restart the mass murder efficiently.  The genocide is the end of the west. It destroys any claim to moral superiority over Russia, China, Iran or any of the officially designated bad g...
