Elections, Selections, Assassinations, and Distortions

It's ironic that we refuse to accept Venezuela's election results... as we observe a coup on Biden, the installation of Kamala, and a Zionist's owned congress applauding genocide and giving Bibi a green light to commit assassinations and continue the genocide. But don’t worry we’ll select Venezuela’s president, you know a Guido 2.0, as we encourage violent protests against the election results (except not Jan.6). Obviously we are deeply democratic. Meanwhile, the US media disappears the Trump assassination attempt and hypes up Kamala in their effort to promote free and fair elections. Another busy week on the news cycle!

The big news this week were the assassinations in Lebanon and Iran by Israel.
During the night hours between 30 and 31 July, Israel targeted two top Resistance Axis officials for assassination, both unprecedented in seniority during this round of conflict. First, top Hezbollah war commander Fuad Shukr was killed in an Israeli air attack on his residential building in the densely populated Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh, leaving several civilians dead and over 70 injured. The second target, at 2 am on 31 July, was Hamas political bureau leader Ismail Haniyeh – a central figure in ceasefire negotiations – who was in Tehran to attend the inauguration ceremony of Iran’s incoming President Masoud Pezeshkian. Within the course of a few hours, Israel managed to strike at three Resistance Axis members: Lebanon, Palestine, and Iran. In doing so, Tel Aviv violated a whole slew of international laws, diplomatic conventions, and customary practices that prohibit political assassinations while glaringly violating the territorial integrity of two UN member states.

Killing the peace: Israel assassinates chief negotiator across the table
Israel’s killing of Hamas politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh was designed not just to eliminate the top Palestinian negotiator in ceasefire talks but also the man most capable of unifying the disparate Palestinian factions in Gaza, the West Bank, and abroad.

Retribution has been promised. Will this be the start of WWIII (or did it already start with Ukraine)?

Let's start with a few interviews from Nima on Dialogue Works. Watch any or all. I found them insightful.

Mark Sleboda provides an excellent recap of the situation in Israel in the first hour of this interview.

Mark later reports of the dire situation in Ukraine.

Mark along with Larry below are not hopeful for Israel's future.

The Neocon's NEXT Big Scheme: Trap Russia in Ukraine | Prof. Glenn Diesen (59 min)
What if the Neocons are actually on the same page with us? What if they do not believe their own lies and they know precisely what's happening on the battle field? And what if they are happy with it, because they have a plan. The 'Afghanization' of Ukraine has been an option on their play book ever since 2022. And now we are at the verge of a Russian "victory" which the neocons would love to transform into a phyrric one by poisoning what Russia can possibly hope to achieve. Even if this was not the original plan, what if the neocons are going to try everything they can to prevent an end to the war and keep Russia permanently bogged down and permanently bleeding—even if that means literally sacrificing the very last Ukrainian?
In this talk I'm exploring that option with Professor Glenn Diesen, a professor at the University of Southeast Norway and an associate editor at the Journal “Russia in Global Affairs”.

Elections and Selections
Let's start with Venezuela

If you think you’re getting anything even approximating the truth from the corporate media in the United States about the Venezuelan elections, think again. The media merely parrot the U.S. government, which has disputed the results of every Venezuelan election this century, in addition to attempting to overthrow the Venezuelan governments in a series of coups.

Trump Admits Venezuela Unrest Is About Taking Their OIL! w/ Anya Parampil
After his time in office, former President Donald Trump lamented that Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro was still in power when the Latin American country had been poised to fall, which would have allowed U.S. interests to swoop in and control Venezuela’s vast oil supply. This is a case of Trump saying the quiet part out loud, revealing that the United States’ interests in Venezuela has nothing to do with the well-being of the Venezuelan people and all about serving corporate interests.

Venezuela Could Hand Energy Rights To BRICS – Maduro

Venezuela could transfer the development rights to its vast oil and gas fields that are currently operated by American energy companies to entities from BRICS nations, President Nicolas Maduro warned on Friday during a press conference in Caracas. BRICS originally comprised Brazil, Russia, India, and China before subsequently adding South Africa and, at the beginning of this year, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates. Numerous other countries, including Venezuela, have expressed interest in joining the group. “If these people up north and their partners in the world make the mistake of their lives, then those oil blocks and those gas blocks that were already signed up [for US companies] will go to our BRICS allies,” Maduro said, adding that Washington was at the forefront of plans to destabilize his country.

That might be quite a strategy to snatch away the oil the US lusts after.

I remember Jimmy Carter went to observe a Venezuelan election in the early 2000's. He said they had one of the best systems he had observed.

US Elections
What a contrast between Venezuela and the US election systems. Our state by state full of holes system is anything but secure. There more and more evidence Trump did win in 2020.

Here's the script...
Italian Intelligence along with U.S. sworn testimony confirms the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election was stolen from President Trump. Satellites being controlled from Italy added votes to Biden to defeat Trump. Joe Biden is not the lawful U.S. President.
Leonardo Aerospace, Defense and Security along with a U.S. State Department employee, the CIA, Italian Citizens and a Dominion Employee were all involved in the fraudulent stealing of the U.S. 2020 Presidential Election.
Joe Biden, once installed as the unlawful President of the United States, orders Mateo Renzi the Former Prime Minister of Italy to take down the current Prime Minister of Italy Guiseppe Conte. This is done by paying off Conte with millions of dollars in cash to keep him quiet.
U.S. Federal Prosecutor John Durham has in his possession documents of evidence that shows Barack Obama illegally moved $400 Million dollars in cash on pallets through the Dubai Embassy with the help of the Italians. They stole $400 Million dollars from America and put the money into a Merrill Lynch account in Geneva Switzerland.
Those involved in these atrocious crimes have murdered five Italian government officials in March alone to cover up their crimes. We cannot let them get away with stealing the Presidency of America and murdering innocent people. We must fight for justice and restore the rightful President of the United States.

Harris Campaign Honeymoon Will Last to Chicago Convention But No Further

California State University Emeritus Professor of Political Affairs Beau Grosscup agreed that Harris was currently benefiting from a wave of adulation that would not last. “Honeymoons are notoriously short. It’s what the word means,” Grosscup said. Nevertheless, Harris brought significant strengths to the Democratic ticket that the aging and obviously infirm Biden had clearly lacked, Grosscup said. “Her prospects against Trump are good. She has solved the age/dementia issue – pointing now to Trump. She should re-rally women/independents on the Dobbs decision [regarding abortion] as Biden left that issue to her,” Grosscup said. The US political landscape unpredictability notwithstanding, Harris’s past record made the flubs and embarrassments inevitable throughout her presidential campaign, Political analyst Charles Ortel said. “Harris is a remarkably undistinguished ‘public servant’ whose track record and policy inclinations are both rash and juvenile,” Ortel said.

We'll see.
