Former President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and President Mauricio Macri's candidate are virtually tied in Argentina’s congressional primaries leading up to the October election. With 95.58 percent of votes in Buenos Aires province counted – home to nearly 40 percent of Argentina's electorate – the ruling party led by Macri's former Education Minister Esteban Bullrich had captured 34.19 percent while Fernandez was within a whisker with 34.11 percent. Though there has been no official declaration, Fernandez took the stage at a rally around 4:00 a.m. to claim victory as well as criticize the pace of the vote count. " I never imagined I would have to ask for forgiveness from all Argentines for this embarrassment, " she said. " It's an offense to democracy. " There have been denunciations that the flow of information from the electoral authorities was manipulated, holding back results from poorer, pro-Fernandez ar

Jesus Adan Mazo, or “Molina,” has been killed after being attacked and shot by a group of armed men in the town of Ituango, near a FARC concentration zone. Mazo — whose involvement in the peace process between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia was pivotal to the signing of the peace agreement — was shot at 1:00 am Monday morning while residing in a house near the Santa Lucia school in Antioquia. “ According to the neighbors, the armed men removed him from the house and shot him three times, enough to kill him. This is the second ex-combatant of the FARC that is assassinated in Ituango, ” said a statement from the FARC zone in Ituango. “ The death of Molina happens just a day before the end of the Transitional Standardization Zones and the beginning of the Territories of Training and Reincorporation, which makes the residents of the concentration zones fearful since they consider this 'a very clear and fatal messag

του Δημήτρη Κωνσταντακόπουλου Δεν υπάρχει ούτε μία χώρα στον πλανήτη, που να έγινε στόχος τέτοιου πολέμου για την «δημοκρατία», που να μην καταστράφηκε ολοσχερώς, τα τελευταία 25 χρόνια! Γνωρίζετε ασφαλώς για τους νεκρούς στη Βενεζουέλα, έστω και αν δεν είναι πάντα σαφές από αυτά που ακούτε, αν ανήκουν στην αντιπολίτευση ή στην κυβέρνηση. Είναι αδύνατο να μην το γνωρίζετε, αν παρακολουθήσατε δύο-τρία δελτία ειδήσεων τους τελευταίους μήνες. Σας πληροφόρησαν ότι ένας, δύο ή πέντε άνθρωποι σκοτώθηκαν σε αυτή τη χώρα της Λατινικής Αμερικής. Φυσικά δεν ξέρετε και είναι αδύνατο να μάθετε, όσα δελτία και αν παρακολουθήσετε, ότι πάνω από σαράντα χιλιάδες άμαχοι πολίτες σκοτώθηκαν κατά την επιχείρηση «απελευθέρωσης» της Μοσούλης από την «αντιτρομοκρατική συμμαχία» υπό την ηγεσία των ΗΠΑ – η συντριπτική πλειοψηφία των οποίων δεν σκοτώθηκε από το Ισλαμικό Κράτος αλλά από τη «Συμμαχία» που ήθελε να τους «απελευθερώσει». Δεν ξέρετε ότι έλεγαν στους κατοίκους

The currently stateless Kurds sit astride the Iraq-Syria border on land blessed/cursed with oil, other resources, and geopolitical significance. Is it any wonder that mega-corporations and their client states are looking to use the Kurds, stoke conflict, and exploit the situation? by Whitney Webb Part 1 Years before the U.S. illegally invaded and then occupied Iraq, plans were circulating within the Pentagon to partition the country along “sectarian” lines, with the express purpose of allowing the U.S. and its regional allies to better control oil resource production and movement within the Middle East. In Syria, the same narrative of partition has more recently been circulated as the “only” solution to the nation’s sectarian divisions, divisions which did not emerge until they were artificially created in 2011 when the current conflict began and later fomented by hostile foreign actors. While the Bush and Obama administrations pushed for the partition

by Ramiro S. Fúnez Part 2 - Syrian & Venezuelan opposition both blindly unquestioned by Western media Not a day goes by when corporate news outlets don’t echo the indictments of Venezuelan and Syrian opposition members who claim their governments are “authoritarian regimes.” Not only do these publications intentionally ignore the fact that the Venezuelan and Syrian governments were legitimately chosen to lead their nations in internationally recognized elections; they also unquestionably uphold the political positions of the opposition groups as the general sentiment of the entire country, failing to mention that a majority of citizens oppose their violence. In Venezuela, for example, Maduro fairly defeated opposition leader Henrique Capriles during the 2013 presidential election, which U.S. election observer Daniel Kovalik described as “ transparent, inherently reliable, well-run and thoroughly audited. ” Almost 80 percent of the country’s population part
