The UK government should not be participating in the economic asphyxiation of a country in order to provoke regime change. This is particularly reprehensible during a pandemic, with UK sanctions affecting food and medical supplies. End.

Jeremy Corbyn's first act as Labour leader was to attend a demonstration in support of refugees. He was made into a pariah. This is the Labour party now. What a repulsive organisation.

The UK high court has just ruled that Juan Guaido, who has never ran for presidential office in his life, is the legitimate president of Venezuela. This makes a total mockery of the UK courts system. Thread:

According to official documents, Juan Guaidó has paid himself another $1,901,100 from funds that were originally looted from the Venezuelan state. A rough total $2.6 million has been paid to the fake "presidency" this year.

If, like Augusto Pinochet, Julian Assange had presided over the murder and torture of thousands of civilians, the British establishment might protect him from extradition. Assange exposed mass murder and torture, however, and the British establishment cannot forgive that.

The media’s interest in the well-being of a foreign population is directly proportional to the West’s interest in toppling its government, while editorial standards are inversely proportional to its enemy status. My view after 3 weeks in Venezuela:

Tweet card media

What I saw in Venezuela revealed a horrifying gap between reporting and reality

Is something horribly wrong with our media?

Keir Starmer received £50,000 from Trevor Chinn, a lobbyist for apartheid lsrael, and didn't declare it until after he'd won the Labour leadership election. Starmer went on to commend Israel's "commitment to the rule of law". History will not be kind.

The British Foreign Office can neither confirm nor deny if/how it responded to news that the CIA plotted to kidnap or murder a journalist on British soil. Senior British officials knew a plot existed, and reportedly agreed to "do the shooting". An incredibly healthy democracy.

The case has also been riven with scandals. Juan Guaidó’s UK legal costs were paid with millions of dollars already appropriated from the Venezuelan state. He has effectively used looted money to loot more money.

The US government has never formally apologised for the attack. The captain of the US warship, Will C. Rogers III, was awarded the Legion of Merit for “exceptionally meritorious conduct” during his command of the ship.

This week's hearing will centre on whether the UK's recognition of Juan Guaidó allows it to transfer Venezuelan state assets to Guaidó's 'interim government'. The UK courts thus have to decide whether they can ignore the judgments of the Venezuelan Supreme Tribunal of Justice.

Not only does the US protect its war criminals, it actively celebrates its war crimes. The US military wants to name its new warship the USS Fallujah - site of some of the worst atrocities during the Iraq War.

Not a Joke, the Pentagon Wants to Name a Warship the USS Fallujah

Why is the U.S. choosing to celebrate its most murderous and merciless battles in Iraq?

A poll conducted in 2017 found that more than half of British people didn't even know there was a war in Yemen, with millions now at risk of starvation. Key reason: Britain is complicit, and it's not in Europe.
