Venezuela and American Manifest Destiny - Gerald Horne

A core concept of “Americanism” is the belief that the United States has a God given right to control all of the Americas in the name of democracy and freedom--but in reality, for plunder and commercial interest - historian Gerald Horne joins Paul Jay

    Piracy and Privateers were always an accepted practices, in fact a noble and patriotic endeavor, in anglo-saxon society. This along with the predominance of Jews in the slave trade have been totally overlooked in history books and MSM movies.

    The Epochal Eclipse is April 8th, 2024. It truly is epic. It's shadow path will cross that of the last Total eclipse (8/21/17) almost 7 years earlier, near the Illinois-Kentucky border. It's easy to find on KZread. Apocalypse means all shall be revealed. If I tried to correlate this event with the teachings of others, I'd call it Mid-Trib Rapture -- without the physical manifestations. "caught up in the clouds" is a spiritual awakening and Only those with spirit capacity will "see" anything besides the war, and the eclipse. Exercise FAITH to get in shape.

    When Jimmy Carter was swept into office on a wave of Christian Humanitarianism -- share the Earth, in 1976, the "Be Jesus" was scared clean out of the Republican Party. And with an eye of Newt (Gingrich) they formed the Christian Coalition that took over ministries, and seminaries, and the publishers, and have allowed no new thought into Evangelicalism since 1984. They don't teach Jesus in those churches anymore. They pretend they are Jews. They have preached hatred and war with Islam and called the Pope the AntiChrist, and the Catholic Church itself, the Whore of Babylon. They Preach POLITICS from the Pulpit. Verily, they are like the Pharisees before them for they have "shut up the kingdom of heaven against men." The AWAKENING is upon us, but the Tricksters are at the Helm. War they scream -- for YOU. MAGA. More, they mean, For ME. Me Gaud.

    Patriotism became a Pillar of the Political Movement -- first the Christian Coalition, and now, Evangelicalism, Mega Churches, and Televangelists have made it a true Manipulator of the sheep they were supposed to teach not about Jesus, but the Religion and Teachings of Jesus. They are the synagogue of Satan, because they pretend they are Jews by insisting the Law of Leviticus, is required for salvation -- they lie. (Any "Patriotic" institution of the Government recruits these Evangelicals. Most are simple Dupes, Dopes, or Pawns).

    ...and without killing a single civilian, right? In fact the US is afraid to put its own mercenaries in harm's way and uses drones and high-altitude bombing that have killed thousands of innocent people. Why? Because once the "heroes" start to come home in body bags and the people start to ask what it was really for, the game is up. That's why they deal with situations like this by proxying terrorist groups and inciting civil and border wars. So in the end the US is cowardly. Who did they ever whip while you were watching?

It is odd that Bernie (or anyone) is not allowed to be critical of Maduro as well as being critical of the coup. I agree with his viewpoint. Why should we support Maduro when he is incompetent and corrupt, and is partially responsible (along with many others) for the suffering of his people.
