globinfo freexchange Bernie Sanders needs to review some of his positions, especially on foreign policy matters. In some cases he adopts many of the most hawkish neocon, pro-intervention positions, also fully adopted by Trump administration. Latest disappointment, his answer during the recent democratic debate concerning Venezuela. Bernie disorderly retreated against the attack of the anchor who made the question quite aggressively and actually demanded from Bernie to admit that Nicolás Maduro is a dictator.  Bernie did something even worse. He called the legitimate president of the country a "vicious tyrant". Here is Bernie's answer:                     First of all, let me be very clear. Anybody who does what Maduro does, is a vicious tyrant. What we need now is international and regional cooperation for free elections in Venezuela, so that the people of that country can create their own future. It's completely unacceptable for a progressiv

Taliban’s Qatar-based spokesman Suhail Shaheen told Russia's TASS news agency on Friday that the group's delegation had met with Zamir Kabulov, President Vladimir Putin’s envoy for Afghanistan, in Moscow to discuss recent developments regarding the peace process in Afghanistan. A spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry said that during the meeting, the Russian side had underlined " the necessity of the resumption " of US-Taliban talks and that the militant outfit had, in turn, reiterated its " readiness to continue dialogue with Washington. " Meanwhile, a senior Taliban leader in Qatar said, “ The purpose of these visits is to inform leaders of these countries about the peace talks and [US] President [Donald] Trump’s decision to call off the peace process at a time when both sides had resolved all outstanding issues and were about to sign a peace agreement. " Moscow has already hosted two rounds of talks between Taliban negotiators and promi

Donald Trump fired his national security adviser, John Bolton, on Tuesday just as John Kiriakou predicted in an article published June 12 on Consortium News .  The activist group Code Pink held a rally in front of the White House to celebrate. It’s not as though Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for running the most hawkish American official out of power (though when Barack Obama won his, he had arguably done even less), but Trump has taken an important step toward fulfilling campaign promises to not get the U.S. into even deeper military involvement in the world.  So far Trump has not started a major conflict though he’s continued and intensified Obama’s drone wars. In the face of Bolton’s almost pathological lust for war, Trump seems instead to be seeking diplomatic solutions in North Korea, despite his earlier bluster, and in Iran, showing interest in meeting the Iranian president, after ditching the Iranian nuclear deal shortly after Bolton took office.  Bolton had

The defense of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva denounced here that new leaks on the Lava Jato scandal confirm the rude illegalities practiced by Sergio Moro and the prosecutors of that operation against the former President. For lawyers, the revelations published Sunday by Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper, in association with the Intercept site, also show Moro's improper performance against representatives of the former labor leader and the Federal Supreme Court (STF). The messages reveal that Lava Jato had 22 dialogues from the founder of the Workers Party in their hands, but, with political action, Moro only used one of them to manipulate public opinion. In March 2016, the then magistrate Moro released illegal telephone interventions in which former president Dilma Rousseff spoke with Lula about his possible inauguration as Minister of the Civil House. For that performance, the current Minister of Justice apologized to the STF, but not to Rousseff or the former unionist. All o

Amid reports about Israel's spying on the White House, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has mocked Washington’s friendly ties with Tel Aviv, saying the US needs no enemies with a spy in his allies. "The #B_Team Strikes again," Zarif said in a sarcastic tweet on Friday, referring to a term coined by himself to describe an international group of warmongers, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Zarif incorporated a report by the American political journalism company Politico in his tweet and said, " @realDonaldTrump: With a BFF in the #B_Team — who empties US coffers and takes US foreign policy hostage — SPYING on the US PRESIDENT, America doesn't need enemies. " Full report: https://www.presstv.com/Detail/2019/09/13/606115/Zarif-Trump-Netanyahu-BTeam-Politico-espionage-tweet

Following another catastrophic mass shooting or crisis event, Orwellian “solutions” are set to be foisted on a frightened American public by the very network connected, not only to Jeffrey Epstein, but to a litany of crimes and a frightening history of plans to crush internal dissent in the United States. by Whitney Webb Part 2 - Demystifying Carbyne Carbyne911, which will be referred to simply as Carbyne in this report, is an Israeli tech-startup that promises to revolutionize how calls are handled by emergency service providers, as well as by governments, corporations and educational institutions. Not long after it was founded in 2014 by veterans of Israeli military intelligence, Carbyne began to be specifically marketed as a solution to mass shootings in the United States that goes “ beyond the gun debate ” and improves the “ intelligence that armed emergency responders receive before entering an armed shooter situation ” by providing video-streaming and acoustic input f

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 4 - Caught in yet another lie Following the July 29 court ruling in favor of Crystallex, José Ignacio Hernández’s past relationship with the company finally surfaced in Venezuelan media. On July 31, Venezuelan Attorney General Tarek William Saab announced a criminal investigation into Hernández, accusing the lawyer of “ a conflict of interest that violates all judicial ethics ” and “ treason toward his fellow citizens. ” Hernández dismissed the allegations as “false” later that same day, telling TV Venezuela he had recused himself from the Crystallex case back in March. Yet Crystallex was not the only corporation battling Venezuela’s government that had turned to Hernández for expert testimony. According to documents filed with the W
