On this day in 2002, Hugo Chavez is overthrown in a coup backed by the George W. Bush Administration, bringing in a right-wing coup regime that rescinded many of the reforms Hugo Chavez introduced which benefitted millions of poor Venezuelans.

The coup regime would be short-lived, as loyalists in the Venezuelan military worked to return Chavez to power. Supporters of Chavez and the Bolivarian revolution surrounded the Presidential Palace in Miraflores and demanded his return. Chavez returned to power after just two days, triumphant in the latest episode of class war in Venezuela🇻🇪.

CIA asset Maria Corina Machado signed the 2002 order by one of the coup leaders Pedro Carmona to destroy Venezuelan democracy by dissolving the National Assembly, the Supreme Court, and the Bolivarian constitution which had been approved by a popular referendum in 1999 which expanded indigenous, economic and social rights.

‘The real cause of misery, poverty, and exclusion is capitalism. Christ’s mandate is impossible under capitalism.’

-Hugo Chavez

🚨WAR ON IRAN: UN, IMO, CANNOT BE SILENT on attack on Safesea Vishnu and other ships!

‘It was a well-calculated, calibrated attack on the Safesea Vishnu. It’s quite different than the attacks that has happened in the region that we have seen for the last couple of weeks. All those attacks had happened through drones, missiles, etc.

It was attacked in the territorial waters of Iraq, within the vicinity of the terminal. And what has surprised us about this attack, after doing the due diligence, is that one day before the attack, there was a speedboat that definitely took a couple of rounds, probably to map the attack. And it was attacked at a very vulnerable time, midnight. She was supposed to complete the operation in just the next couple of hours.

It was attacked using an unmanned vessel with explosives on board. The boat that was controlling this unmanned vessel was just miles away from our ships. So this attack definitely happened inside the territorial waters of Iraq.

Again, there are coast guards. They’re vigilant, definitely operating 24/7, especially during the time of war. We have not seen any sort of action or report thereafter from Iraqis about how they allowed this attack to happen inside their territory.

We have not seen that. So that’s one of the reasons we have requested international bodies, including the United Nations, the Guardian of the Maritime Industry, and the IMO, to come forward and do the investigation on this. They cannot be quiet.’

🚨Approximately 16,000 seafarers STUCK in the Strait of Hormuz are being treated as POWs, at least HALF are Indian🇮🇳 nationals!

‘If you do the maths, if there are just about 20 crew members on each ship, then you have 16,000 crew that definitely got trapped.

And out of 16,000, I can say for surely, just about, if not more than 50%, at least 50% are Indian seafarers. At least 8,000 are definitely Indian seafarers.

My question to the IMO here is who is the guardian of the maritime industry? It is the IMO. If seafarers today are being treated as prisoners of war, under what convention? Who is coming forward to even think of those?’

🚨Iran’s Chabahar Port VITAL for the global south, India’s🇮🇳 PM Modi may be the ONLY ONE capable of bringing peace to the region

‘The US or Israelis have attacked not only the Bandar Abbas Port, there has been attack on the Kharg island which happens to be quite an important port for energy exports.

Now Chabahar Port will definitely play an important role, but there is ambiguity towards that. India was working on developing the Chabahar Port. Given the recent political issues, there has been a slowdown on the development of Chabahar Port. So whether that will be reactivated by India, that needs to be seen.

85% of the exports from that region is catered to the Global South. So it’s not only India that will benefit, the entire Global South will benefit out of this.
Iran has been under embargo and sanctions for decades now.

India has taken the initiative to develop that port, and they have achieved considerable success in that, and they wanted to move forward on that. However, in the recent past we have seen that there had been a slowdown. We feel that India should relook into activating that port, and to bring sanity, as that could be part of one of the peace talks.

As far as BRICS is concerned, BRICS has become a very strong body. The next BRICS meeting is in a couple of months, so they may play a very important role to bring sanity in this region. The Global South should stand up to this and find sanity.

There has been talk that the Prime Minister of India is perhaps the only person who can bring peace to this region.

The Israelis have said they don’t want to accept Pakistanis as a mediator. So the world may have to go back to India, to Prime Minister Modi. Whether he’ll accept or not accept, that remains to be seen. But for the sanity of the world, probably he may have to look at that positively and come forward for peace.’

🚨TRUMP TO BLOCKADE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, INTERCEPT ALL SHIPS THAT PAID TOLLS TO IRAN

Trump announced via a Truth Social post that a US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz will begin preventing any ships from entering or leaving the passage after failed negotiations with Islamabad.

Trump also said the US will intercept every ship in international waters that paid a toll to Iran to pass the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump’s new solution to Iran’s partial blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which was completely free and open before the US-Israeli illegal war of aggression against Iran, is to totally blockade the Strait of Hormuz entirely and worsen the already spiralling global energy shock…

The painful reality of US hegemony is about to be felt by the entire world: Washington’s solution for the destruction, chaos and disruption it causes, is always to unleash more destruction, chaos and disruption.

European airports are just weeks away from catastrophic jet fuel shortages, the global south is desperately trying to navigate meteoric fuel price increases and shortages…and now the US will force everyone to pay the price for the senseless, illegal war of choice it unleashed.

All nations that have negotiated with Iran to allow safe passage of their ships will now be intercepted by the US, and no one will be able to get fuel from one of the most critical fuel choke points on Earth.

That will mean a global recession locked in, unprecedented economic chaos around the world, entire industries being brought to a standstill…

Because of the US President lashing out over a strategic defeat imposed on Washington by Iran, and the inability of his team of real estate billionaires, Witkoff and Kushner, widely seen as some of the most discredited and untalented ‘diplomats’ in US history, to negotiate honestly and even remotely fairly.

Imposing war, terms of defeat, and threatening to destroy a whole civilisation has done nothing but turn the Iranian leadership into its most hardline and intransigent variant possible. More bombs and destruction will only harden Iran’s positions after their confidence was boosted by being able to endure over a month of US-Israeli air power.

The US blockading the Strait of Hormuz completely only adds fuel to Iran’s strategy of globalising the effects of the conflict, in turn causing more and more nations to turn away from a reckless rogue state, with an out-of-control President, whose solution for every problem is wars and escalation.

Trump has now sealed the coffin shut on his MAGA agenda. His inability to understand that the US being a net exporter of oil won’t shield the US from the economic impacts of cratering global demand as the global economy grinds to a halt will be a point of ridicule for decades to come.

An estimated $2 billion a day to replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, close a Strait of Hormuz that was open previously, lock in a global recession, and unleash destabilisation for the GCC and the rest of the world.

Once again, US hegemony shoots itself in the foot with its own bluster, arrogance, and hubris.

🚨Former Israeli Acting President: US-Iran ceasefire signals a DIVORCE between Trump & Netanyahu, Iran WON the war

‘The ceasefire of this round, it looks like a divorce.

It’s a divorce in which the husband, Mr. Trump, does not really pay attention to the needs and to the whims of his lover, Israel, and simply walked away and did whatever he likes without really consulting with Israel...

At the end of the day, when we finish this round in Iran and in the region, there are very few winners and very exact losers.

Israel is not a winner. The United States of America is not a winner.

Iran got hit very strongly, but survived, and therefore it won. And it looks to me like somewhere behind the mountains, China🇨🇳 is rising.’

POPE LEO XIV SLAMS US-ISRAELI WAR ON IRAN:

'I don't think that the message of the Gospel is meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing...I will continue to speak out loud against war.’

Pope Leo XIV in response to Trump’s comments calling him “weak on crime and terrible for foreign policy” and telling reporters he was “not a big fan.”

Trump has bludgeoned US hegemony even further with his comments insulting the Pope and the estimated 1.4 billion believers Catholic Christians around the world.

Iran’s missiles and drones aren’t even the main force bludgeoning US hegemony, the main force is Washington’s own actions.

🚨Former Israeli Acting President: ‘Trump needed a SHORT WAR, Netanyahu needed a LONG WAR against Iran. Netanyahu hasn’t profited A THING politically from this war on Iran!’

‘This war with Iran was a competition between two end dates. Trump had to end it and to finish it before it has an impact on the midterm elections, and therefore it should have been a very short exercise or a manoeuvre.

And Netanyahu has to extend it as long as possible because he wants to go into elections in a state of war, because Israelis, when there is a state of war, usually rally around the flag of the government and the flag of the prime minister.

So the motivation of what is the role of the war for the internal politics was very different in American internal politics and the Israeli domestic one.

It looks to me that, as for now, Netanyahu did not profit a thing politically, internally, from this campaign, maybe lost a lot.

And the next elections will show that the Israelis are fed up with both his manipulation, his tricks, his shticks and his endurance. That’s, if you ask me, the very last couple of months of his.’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu makes it clear ‘there’s still more work to do’ with the war on Iran.

Donald Trump, despite his bluster, destabilising actions, and chaos, needs the war on Iran to be wrapped up quickly and a solution for the Strait of Hormuz fast…

Otherwise it will be a wipeout in the midterm elections with skyrocketing gas prices and inflation. His blockade on the Strait of Hormuz to break Iran’s partial blockade on the Strait of Hormuz may be a daft solution, but the priority for a quick resolution remains.

Netanyahu, without a care in the world for the risk of global economic meltdown, needs the war to continue at least until the elections in Israel later this year, so that Israelis, already in a state of war fever, can continue rallying around him and the Israeli flag.

Netanyahu will constantly be trying to drag Trump back into the war on Iran with full-scale firepower, to save his position as Prime Minister, and to avoid prison over corruption charges.

With Tel Aviv clearly calling the shots on Washington’s foreign policy, Trump risks political oblivion in the midterms and becoming an utterly failed lame duck President.

🚨Former Israeli Acting President: Netanyahu FAILED ON ALL FRONTS against Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah

‘As much as he tries to minimise it, it’s very, very strong. And the case is mounting into something very, very serious. He would like to come to the plea bargain or to the verdict, whenever it eventually comes.

So yes, using the situation for his personal gain rather than for the collective good of the Israelis is almost his modus operandi, maybe even modus vivendi, I do not really know.

But it looks to me when you look at the three major missions he took upon himself, this is to bring Iran down, Iran with its nuclear threat and capabilities, to bring, disarm Hezbollah and obliterate Hamas. With all these three fronts missions of his, he failed.

Hamas is in place and regained power. Hezbollah was not obliterated a couple of months ago, and he’s back to business and really harassing the northern part of Israel as well as Lebanon. And Iran survived this war.

So when you take all of this together with the megaprojects that Netanyahu took upon himself, he is a failure. He is a failure, and therefore I believe he will not be the next prime minister of Israel and he will have to face his own sentence very, very soon.’

Noam Chomsky explains why the US🇺🇸 government, Israel, and the media never acknowledge Israel’s nukes:

If the US were to recognise Israel as a state with nuclear weapons, US aid to Israel would be ILLEGAL since they were developed outside of international legal frameworks.

The absurd assumption behind the US’ negotiating position is that Iran would somehow just willingly give up its nuclear program and missile program…

Meaning it would have no deterrent against an Israel that is armed with nuclear weapons, that launched two wars against it in a single year.

While the US demands Iran has no deterrent, according to Washington, Israel is allowed to keep its nuclear Sword of Damocles hanging over Iran and the entire region.

☢️Trump will WALK AWAY from Iran War…but can Middle East nuclear proliferation be STOPPED?

Afshin Rattansi: ‘How can the world disarm Israel of nuclear weapons then?’

Former Israeli Acting President Abraham Burg: ‘It’s not about disarming Israel, it’s about the entire region.’

Afshin: ‘Well, no one else has nuclear weapons, it’s just Israel that has them in this region. How can the world disarm them?’

Burg: ‘What started now does not end with this two-week ceasefire. There are so many genies out of the bottle now.

And the motivation for nuclear power without America, because America under Trump will walk away like it ran away from so many other conflicts around the world in the last 20-some years, people will be motivated to have nuclear weapons.

So there should be both a regional setting and global pressure to disable anybody who has nuclear capability, war nuclear capability, not to have it.

Whatever guarantees are given to Iran, to the Saudis, to the Israelis, those guarantees should be very, very solid, very, very strong.

But with one bottom line: the Middle East clean and clear of weapons of mass destruction. Can we have nuclear capabilities and nuclear reactors for energy? Yes.

Should these nuclear energy centres be run together by Israelis and Saudis and Iranians and Egyptians and Emiratis? The answer is yes.

The more cooperation we have on peacetime nuclear capability, the less threat we have with the warheads.’

Benjamin Netanyahu says US🇺🇸 Vice President J.D. Vance personally told him about the details of negotiations with Iran in Islamabad:

"He reported to me in detail, as members of this administration do every day."

Every day, more evidence comes out that Israel has an unparalleled influence over Washington’s foreign policy, so much so, that a US Vice President personally reports to him on the details of negotiations to end a war.

In fact, the Israeli Prime Minister has Trump Administration officials reporting to him on a daily basis.

The US government is captured by Israel, and the evidence is clear as day for the world to see.
