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.

"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. 

How Israel’s Supporters Play Victim to Justify Genocide & Silence Critics

BreakThrough News   As Israel commits a live-streamed genocide in Gaza, Western media and political elites continue to center one narrative: Jewish fear. But what about the actual victims of this genocide—Palestinians? Journalist Nora Barrows-Friedman joins Rania Khalek on Dispatches for a fearless conversation on Zionist indoctrination in the Jewish diaspora, how antisemitism is being weaponized to silence critics of Israel, and how Jewish identity politics has been manipulated to cover for unspeakable crimes. From the media blackout on Israeli war crimes to the erasure of anti-Palestinian hate crimes—even in the diaspora—Nora lays bare the contradictions and power structures behind it all. 

How the EU is using anti-Russia sanctions to criminalise journalism

The EU sanctioned me and my media outlet for covering Palestine protests in Germany. It’s part of Europe’s growing authoritarianism and militarism, cloaked in language of fighting disinformation and defending democracy.   by Hüseyin Dogru   Part 2 - How the EU uses anti-Russian hysteria to smear Palestine solidarity journalism   The official rationale for sanctioning me hinges on red .’s alleged links to Russian influence. The EU sanctions listing cited just two pieces of “evidence”: that some red. staff had previously worked for Russian-funded media, and that we covered “politically controversial subjects” – specifically: Palestine. That’s it. The listing accuses me, through my work with red ., of “facilitating violent demonstrations”, amplifying “radical Islamic terrorist narratives” and claims our staff “coordinated with occupiers”. Not a single piece of evidence is cited, apart from the fact that we published footage of a pro-Palestine student occupation in Berlin. I...

UN report confirms: Israel is a terrorist state and its goal is to exterminate all Palestinians

Israeli attacks on educational, religious and cultural sites in the Occupied Palestinian Territory amount to war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination, UN Commission says.     globinfo freexchange Israel has obliterated Gaza’s education system and destroyed over half of all religious and cultural sites in the Gaza Strip, part of a widespread and relentless assault against the Palestinian people in which Israeli forces have committed war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem and Israel, said in a new report [yesterday]. While the Commission paid special attention to the situation in Gaza, the report focuses on attacks in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as a whole, and in Israel. “We are seeing more and more indications that Israel is carrying out a concerted campaign to obliterate Palestinian life in Gaza,” said Navi Pi...

How the U.S. & Israel Used Rafael Grossi to Hijack the IAEA and Start a War on Iran

Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), allowed the IAEA to be used by the United States and Israel—an undeclared nuclear weapons state in long-term violation of IAEA rules—to manufacture a pretext for war on Iran, despite his agency’s own conclusion that Iran had no nuclear weapons program.   by Medea Benjamin - Nicolas J. S. Davies On June 12th, based on a damning report by Grossi, a slim majority of the IAEA Board of Governors voted to find Iran in non-compliance with its obligations as an IAEA member. Of the 35 countries represented on the Board, only 19 voted for the resolution, while 3 voted against it, 11 abstained and 2 did not vote. The United States contacted eight board member governments on June 10th to persuade them to either vote for the resolution or not to vote. Israeli officials said they saw the U.S. arm-twisting for the IAEA resolution as a significant signal of U.S. support for Israel’s war plans, revealing how much Isra...

War criminal Netanyahu is pushing the Orange Clown and the US into the abyss

globinfo freexchange   It seems that the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, is rushing to accelerate the decline of the US empire by forcing Donald Trump into an utterly devastating war with Iran.   Trump shot himself in the foot during his first term by killing the Iran nuclear deal just because he wanted to erase everything from the Obama legacy. His insane narcissism pushed him into crazy acts and made him believe that he could make another deal with Iran credited solely on him.   But now he is in big trouble because he has to deal with a corrupted psychopath who won't hesitate to burn the entire planet just to save himself.  As if the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza was not enough, the out-of-control psychopath Netanyahu, is doing whatever he can to drag the US into a war with Iran. As he realized that the Iranians are approaching the negotiating table again, (rather surprisingly with the man that killed the first deal and assassinated Qasem Soleimani), he decide...
