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 3 - Jose Ignacio Hernández’s alter ego To win its lawsuit against the Venezuelan government, Crystallex had to persuade a judge it had the right to seize Citgo’s shares through a legal concept known as “alter ego.” In business law, alter ego is described as “lifting the corporate veil,” or proving the “instrumentality” of a company. It is the doctrine through which a court determines that a private corporation, such as Citgo, merely serves as cover for an individual or group, in this case the Venezuelan government. Only by “lifting the corporate veil” and proving Citgo to be an “instrument” of the Venezuelan state could Crystallex justify seizing assets belonging to the private, US-based corporation as compensation for money owed by the

Εφιαλτική επιστροφή στο μεσαίωνα: το Μητσοτακικό καθεστώς έτοιμο να ανοίξει το δρόμο για τα φέουδα του 21ου αιώνα

globinfo freexchange  Ο πρώτος μεγάλος στόχος του Μητσοτακικού καθεστώτος θα είναι η δημιουργία Ειδικών Οικονομικών Ζωνών εντός της Ελληνικής επικράτειας και το σχέδιο αναμένεται να ανακοινωθεί επίσημα γύρω στον Γενάρη-Φλεβάρη του 2020, εκτός απροόπτου. Οι νεοφιλελεύθεροι "τζιχαντιστές" της δεξιάς ετοιμάζονται να στρώσουν χαλί στους φεουδάρχες του 21ου αιώνα τους οποίους σήμερα αποκαλούμε "επενδυτές".  Οι Ειδικές Οικονομικές Ζώνες ήδη εφαρμόζονται σε αναπτυσσόμενες χώρες (Βουλγαρία, Σκόπια, Τουρκία) και εδώ και καιρό, σε τριτοκοσμικές αποικίες. Τώρα και με βάση το Ελληνικό πείραμα, ήρθε η ώρα να εφαρμοστούν και στην αποικία χρέους Ελλάδα, που υποτίθεται ότι ανήκει στο κλαμπ των ανεπτυγμένων χωρών. Απ'ότι φαίνεται η Ελλάδα θα αποτελέσει και πάλι το διαθέσιμο και πλέον κατάλληλο πειραματόζωο, έτσι ώστε τα σύγχρονα φέουδα να εξαπλωθούν παντού, ακόμα και στις πιο ανεπτυγμένες οικονομικά χώρες.  Όπως αποκαλύπτει ο Δημήτρης Καζάκης, η Ελλάδα θα είναι η π

Tucker Carlson accidentally promotes one of the most anti-capitalist, real-Left positions!

globinfo freexchange  We wouldn't believe it if we wouldn't have seen it and hear it with our own eyes and ears, but the following phrase came out from Tucker Carlson's mouth:                     Every minute you are angry about race, is a minute you are not thinking about class, which, of course, is the real divide in this country. Working class people of all colors have a lot more in common - infinitely more in common with each other, than they do with some overpaid MSNBC anchor. And if you are allowed to think about that for long enough, you might start get unauthorized ideas about economics. And that would be disruptive to a very lucrative status quo. So, they whip you into a frenzy of racial fear so that it never enters your mind. It's a diversion. Everyone hates each other, they get to keep their money. Here's why they're pushing racial division: so you won't notice the real divide, which is economic. pic.twitter.com/ZVLvQn2u9O — Tucker

Mysterious suspect for possible involvement in 9/11 attacks missed and forgotten

globinfo freexchange Rayed Mohammed Abdullah Ali is a Saudi Arabian student pilot, notable for having been deported from New Zealand in 2006 after it was realised that he had lived and trained in the USA with Hani Hanjour, one of the hijacking pilots in the September 11, 2001 attacks. As Al Jazeera reported in June 10, 2006, " Rayed Mohammed Abdullah Ali, a United States-qualified pilot, was deported late last month after immigration officials raided his home in Palmerston North, where he had joined the local aero club. David Cunliffe, the immigration minister, said in a statement that Ali was considered a threat to national security because of his activities in New Zealand and because he was 'directly associated with' those responsible for the 2001 attacks on the US. " However, right after his expulsion, it seems that this mysterious person had literally vanished from the face of the earth. As The New Zealand Herald reported back in June 17, 2006

How to defeat the Empire

 by Caitlin Johnstone One of the biggest and most consistent challenges of my young career so far has been finding ways to talk about solutions to our predicament in a way that people will truly hear. I talk about these solutions constantly, and some readers definitely get it, but others will see me going on and on about a grassroots revolution against the establishment narrative control machine and then say “Okay, but what do we do?” or “You talk about problems but never offer any solutions!” Part of the difficulty is that I don’t talk much about the old attempts at solutions we’ve already tried that people have been conditioned to listen for. I don’t endorse politicians, I don’t advocate starting a new political party, I don’t support violent revolution, I don’t say that capitalism contains the seeds of its own destruction and the proletariat will inevitably rise up against the bourgeoisie, and in general I don’t put much stock in the idea that our political systems are in and

Οριστική επιβεβαίωση του αδιεξόδου: η χώρα πληρώνει ήδη τον ιδεολογικό φανατισμό του Μητσοτακικού καθεστώτος

 globinfo freexchange  Επιβεβαιώνεται οριστικά το διπλωματικό μπάχαλο και το αδιέξοδο που έφερε η βεβιασμένη ως και ανόητη ενέργεια της κυβέρνησης Μητσοτάκη να σπεύσει να αναγνωρίσει τον αποτυχημένο πραξικοπηματία Χουάν Γκουαϊδό. Η ελαφρότητα την οποία ήδη επιδεικνύει το Μητσοτακικό καθεστώς, ειδικά στα θέματα εξωτερικής πολιτικής, φαντάζει εξαιρετικά επικίνδυνη.  Όπως αναφέρει σε άρθρο της η Εφημερίδα των Συντακτών :  Οι Ευρωπαίοι διπλωμάτες αναγνωρίζουν και πάλι, στην πράξη, τη νόμιμη κυβέρνηση του Μαδούρο στη Βενεζουέλα. Το ίδιο ακριβώς κάνει και η κυβέρνηση Μητσοτάκη, με τη διαφορά ότι βρίσκεται... σε άρνηση. [...] Πέρα από τον πρέσβη της Γερμανίας, ο οποίος έφυγε με ύφος σαράντα καρδιναλίων από τη χώρα και επέστρεψε σεμνά και ταπεινά στο πόστο του, αρκετοί ακόμη διπλωμάτες που νόμιζαν ότι θα συνομιλούν πλέον μόνο με τον Γουαϊδό αναγκάστηκαν να αποδεχτούν και πάλι την εξουσία της νόμιμης κυβέρνησης του Μαδούρο. Ακόμη και η πρεσβεία της Ισπανίας, η οποία προσφ
