    Buried in an article on Venezuela's economic outlook (which grudgingly acknowledges the positive impact of the govt's reforms) is this major admission: “The evolution of US sanctions under the Biden administration remains the key determinant"

    All US allies in Latin America are pretending to be democracies, none more than Colombia. When a popular uprising occurs, the facade crumbles and they revert to their essential form as right-wing dictatorships reliant on disappearing, maiming and murdering

    The US gov't used hundreds of millions of dollars of fake "aid money" to fund a coup attempt against Venezuela's elected Chavista gov't. This excellent video by explains how USAID is a CIA front for regime-change operations

    The new president-elect of Ecuador, corrupt multimillionaire oligarch banker Guillermo Lasso, is insanely claiming that the massive anti-austerity protests in Colombia are part of a conspiracy to destabilize the region's so-called "democracies" (read: rightwing US client regimes)

    Lasso sobre Colombia dice que no se trata solamente de descontento por una reforma tributaria, sino una amenaza geopolítica orquestada para desestabilizar a los gobiernos democráticos de la región y advirtió que pasará lo mismo en Ec. Lo acaba de decir para El Comercio.

    Si se busca la definición de vendepatria en el diccionario, debe haber una foto de Lenín Moreno. Es un títere reaccionario y traidor no sólo a su pueblo y Latinoamérica, sino a su propio nombre.
