The Citgo conspiracy: Opposition figures accuse Guaidó officials of ‘scam’ to liquidate Venezuela’s most prized international asset

Venezuela’s opposition has long accused the Bolivarian government of corruption and mismanagement. But with Citgo on the verge of liquidation, Guaidó’s officials are too incompetent — or too devious — to save it. by Anya Parampil Part 2 - The Crystallex hustle Citgo’s survival fell into limbo on July 29, when a US Federal Appeals Court upheld a ruling declaring that Crystallex, a Canadian gold mining firm, could seize $1.4 billion worth of the refinery’s shares. The sum was considered compensation for assets expropriated by Venezuela’s government under the late President Hugo Chávez.

Anti-Brexit neoliberal propaganda reaches ridiculous levels, becomes an indirect threat

globinfo freexchange Neoliberal pundits of the international capitalist class are now in an anti-Brexit propaganda full mode, as their bosses are running out of options towards 31st October deadline. As their panic grows, propaganda naturally becomes sloppier and even reaches ridiculous levels. We can see an example on MSNBC, one of the top brainwashing machines of the neoliberal regime, and the 'arguments' that have been used by one of its top pundits. Chris Hayes literally said:                     It is possible - it's not the most likely scenario, but it is genuinely a possibility that Britain will just dump out of the EU and then they won't have toilet paper, or pharmaceuticals, or bananas.

Ο Κούλης μνημονεύει λόγια του Γκάντι που δεν είναι τελικά του Γκάντι και που δεν έχουν καμία σχέση με τον Κούλη!

globinfo freexchange " Πρώτα σε αγνοούν, μετά σε κοροϊδεύουν, μετά σε πολεμούν, μετά τους κερδίζεις ", είπε με νόημα ο πρωθυπουργός επισκεπτόμενος το περίπτερο της Ινδίας στη ΔΕΘ, θέλοντας να επικοινωνήσει φιλοσοφικά με την τιμώμενη χώρα.   Μόνο που, απ'ότι φαίνεται , αυτά δεν είναι τελικά λόγια του Γκάντι και δεν έχουν και καμία σχέση με τον Κούλη!   " Πρώτα σε αγνοούν, μετά σε κοροϊδεύουν, μετά σε πολεμούν ... ", είπε ο "γόνος", που από το πρώτο δευτερόλεπτο της εκλογής του στην ηγεσία της ΝΔ, η τραπεζομιντιακή χούντα τον προωθούσε με τα χίλια, παρουσιάζοντάς τον ως την "ελπίδα" που θα απαλλάξει τη χώρα από τα 'επικίνδυνα Αριστερά αποβράσματα'.  Και τι δεν έκανε σύσσωμο το σύστημα του νεοφιλελεύθερου καθεστώτος για να επαναφέρει την "κανονικότητα" με τον Κούλη στη φυσική του θέση, που κληρονόμησε λόγω συγγένειας, όπως γίνονταν κάποτε στα διάφορα δουκάτα κατά τον μεσαίωνα.   Δεν είναι βέβαια η πρώτη φορ
