Venezuela: Identifying Fake News & False Propaganda! (13.1.2026)
Trump I (2017-2021) was all about “censoring” expression on social media – left, right, and centre. The alt-right was suppressed alongside the left – with the far-right being encouraged. Trump I even targeted social media platforms with online software attacks irrespective of the owners agreeing – even wordpress came under attack in this manner. Then, when Trump was voted-out and the social media platforms started to “ban” Trump in retaliation – Trump II (2025-2029) is all about “freedom of expression! providing its not left-wing, is pro-America (as in not questioning Trump’s racism or class hatred), and thoroughly racist (pro-White). Either way, the left is completely crushed and dead in the water (although it exists in a disjointed manner on platforms like Telegram). Of course, the legitimate (Maduro) government is broadcasting on Telegram and it is educating its people not to fall for the simplistic online US lies and misdirection. Check with reliable sources and do not accept things at face-value. This also goes for the rest of us as well. Also, beware of the duplicitous Catholic Church.
UK: Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters – Solidarity with Maduro! (4.1.2026)
“We are all reeling, stunned by this savage act of aggression from the empire of the United States of America on our brothers and sisters and comrades in Venezuela.”
Musician, activist, and Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters expressed his support for Venezuela and its legitimate President, Nicolas Maduro. Waters stressed that “Venezuela is a sovereign country and should be left alone by the gringo bullies of the North.
Venezuela: Maduro Remembers Conrade José Vicente Rangel! (19.12.2025)!
Until the last day of his life, he provided me with his support, sending me writings, letters, alerts, and confidential criticisms. José Vicente was a great window for Venezuelans to understand the thinking and project of Commander Chávez. A leader who, since the 1960s, raised the banners of the left, the revolution, and the homeland. His legacy marked a historic era in social communication. Honour and eternal glory to the memory of José Vicente Rangel!
UK: Sultanas & Lemons – Corbyn & Co Head to the Elephant’s Graveyard! (21.9.2025)
I have seen this cycle of political abuse unfold in the UK liberal democratic system so many times – that I am beginning to think that there must be an elephant’s graveyard somewhere near Westminster where old, wounded, or decrepit far-left leaders go to die. Perhaps Johnny Weissmuller’s “Tarzan” will follow one of them into that special grove – just over the rainbow bridge – where all the Red Ivory will be neatly stacked. Having lived as long as I have, I watch the faces of the innocent youth with sympathy as they discover (for the first-time) how UK political corruption works. Seeing the sorrow and disappointment on their fresh-faces is heart-wrenching to say the least. As a person with experience – all I can tell them is to a) get use to betrayal, and b) learn to hold the line in the face of adversity. Giving them undue comfort now – would prove disempowering for them in the future. In the future they must be stronger than they are now to face the challenges they will have to face – when my generation is gone.
China: Latest Assassination Highlights Era of Political Violence in US! (14.9.2025)
The New York Times reported that political violence has become part of the fabric of American society. Just like school shootings, which once shocked the nation’s conscience, such incidents have now become commonplace.
“I take no pleasure in any hatred or any killing; every human being has the sacred right to life,” Greg Cusack, a former member of the Iowa House of Representatives, told Xinhua. “But this insanity will not stop until all the purveyors of hatred and division forever shut their foul mouths.”
“We have had periods like this in the past,” said professor Galdieri, referring to U.S. politics in the 1850s, when members of Congress assaulted each other in the Capitol.
“But things right now are exceptionally grim on this front,” Galdieri said. “I don’t see how things get better any time soon.”
