Trump is doing his best to subvert his own DoJ’s case against Maduro.

 Jeffrey St. Clair >

 
+ It’s been nearly 2 weeks since Trump’s Venezuelan coup and his declaration that the US is running Venezuela. But the US still isn’t running Venezuela.

+ Trump is doing his best to subvert his own DoJ’s case against Maduro. First, in a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, Trump accused Maduro of heading a drug cartel that his own DoJ now admits doesn’t exist. Second, in his social media post announcing Maduro’s kidnapping, he referred to Maduro as “President Nicolas Maduro,” which contradicts his DOJ’s position that Maduro is not the legitimate leader of Venezuela and shouldn’t be afforded sovereign immunity. (It was for the reason that the previous Trump administration stopped referring to him as president in 2019, when they were considering a similar operation.)

+ In his Mar-a-Lago press conference, Trump claimed that Maduro was the head of “the vicious cartel known as Cartel de los Soles, which flooded our nation with lethal poison.” In fact, the term Cartel de los Soles is slang for “drug corruption in the military.” When your case crumbles before you even present it to a judge…

+ One of the Department of Justice’s key witnesses in its case against Maduro is Hugo Carvajal, a former Venezuelan general, who pleaded guilty last year to drug trafficking charges and, in December, wrote a letter asking for leniency, in which he backed the farcical claim that Venezuela had helped rig the 2020 election for Biden.

+ The big question in Venezuela remains: who was the CIA’s source inside the Maduro government? Much of the focus has been on VP, Delcy Rodriguez, who, though she has publicly denounced the raid and kidnapping, seems to be maintaining a back-channel to Rubio. But her hold on power remains tenuous, with Chauvistas to the left of her, MUD to her right and the generals watching for any false step. Jon Lee Anderson: “I guess she’s expected to keep the heads of the military and the intelligence services from doing any power grabs or displacing her. But there may be mutual suspicions there. So it’s kind of a knife-edge situation.”

Tenha pena de mim (Cyro de Souza e Babaú) – Olivia Byington

Ai, ai meu Deus!
Tenha pena de mim
Todos vivem muito bem
Só eu que vivo assim
Trabalho, não tenho nada
Não saio do miserê
Ai, ai, meu Deus
Isso é pra lá de sofrer

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Davos

 

 "Trump landed a deflated man. During his nearly incoherent speech at the World Economic Forum, Trump looked morose and sounded peevish. The words slurred, the fraying sentences trailing off into the ether. His insults lacked fire and punch. He rambled aimlessly. His cognitive decline, never a fall from alpine heights to begin with, was on full public display.

Was this the fearsome tyrant, so many had trembled in obeisance before? He looked like an old man, frail in body, infirm in mind. Not the new Sun King of his cult-stoked fantasies, but a patriarch deep into his autumn, struggling to find the words for retreat. Trump’s strategy (if you can call it that) for cultivating more enemies than friends was always doomed to backfire on him. The only question was how long it would take and how many he’d drag down with him. "

“Trump’s” This, “Trump’s” That, “Trump’s….and a Telling Truth (or Two)

"The FakeUSA is a religious state. Its highest holy is unrestrained scheming for private profits. The church alternates between two choirs which are funded by the monetarily-obsessed elites of the church who are quickly bored by and resentful of any voices which have redeeming, unscripted and genuine qualities and which do not help drown-out the tormented cries of the prey – whose consumption is mandated by the greed-filled desperate elites. Trump is the latest choirmaster and his effectiveness is reflected in the passions and smugness of both choirs. He out-Bushes the Bushes and he out-Obamas the Obamas and he proudly knows he has achieved a level of honest indifference to rampant suffering – in the name of monetary impunity – which his predecessors and congresses had long been striving towards. He also knows that it is the passions of both his supporters and his (supposed) opponents which reinforce the falsehood of his fake individualism. THEY make him extraordinary and they both foolishly help make his democrat and republican enablers appear as if they are to varying degrees more respectably reticent and hapless. They mistake cynicism and compliance as a sign of wisdom. Cravenness flourishes among the voters as they proudly eschew integrity in favor of what they misguidedly grasp at as pragmatism (which is, in reality, a devotion to can-kicking and lint-picking for the benefit of the greediest predators)."

The Donroe Doctrine is a Recipe for Two, Three... Many Iraqs

 "This is the real reason why the Donald isn’t so quick to shove a Washington snitch like Maria Machado into the presidential palace. He’s gaming on making another one of his infamous scumfuck deals with the same military brass he calls a cartel in hopes that they can convince the lower ranks to put down their gats while he siphons off the gas supply. It’s a big fucking gamble and he better pray it pays off because otherwise he has painted his ass into a corner with more than just Venezuelan crude. Latin America is one big Molotov cocktail that’s been ready to blow since the Conquistadors lit it to fire the rise the First World with the fuel of the Third and I’m not the first lunatic to eyeball that flame with a flicker of rambunctious hope either."

Did Hunter S. Thompson really kill himself?

  

"For decades, Owl Farm was Hunter S. Thompson’s lair, the place where he wrote, drank and drugged, entertained celebrities, shot guns at all hours, commanded his quixotic campaign for sheriff in 1970 and, finally, on a snowy Sunday evening in February 2005, died in front of his IBM Selectric typewriter from a single gunshot to the head.

The next day, a doctor conducted an autopsy and reported, “the injuries were consistent with the reported self-inflicted gunshot wound.”

“Case status is Closed/noncriminal,” the chief investigator for the county sheriff’s department wrote to close out his report.

That’s where things seemed destined to remain, until quite recently."

Foi a flor mais perfumada
Teve a lapa noturna a seus pés
Iludiu gigolôs
Arruinou coronéis
Carrega hoje um enorme desgosto
Foge sempre do espelho
Pra não ver a verdade no rosto
