The Maduro Connection
Timothy Birdnow
Maduro, the Marxist dictator of Venezuela who was recently plucked out of his own country to face narco charges in the U.S., was working closely with Black Lives Matter and the people who brought us Zohran Momdani, according to this article in Western Journalism.
The article states:
Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and his socialist regime spent years coordinating with American leftist movements such as Black Lives Matter before the U.S. removed him from power.
BLM activists, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Democratic Socialists of America, and other groups met with Maduro, spoke at events alongside him, or became official observers for Venezuela’s heavily criticized elections for more than a decade, according to the groups’ public statements and online posts documenting the meetings.
Some of the same organizations called for protests in the U.S. against the Trump administration’s Jan. 3 arrest of Maduro and his wife on drug and weapons charges.
The Venezuelan regime won influence with activists to its own benefit long ago, in part through a 2006 speech by former President Hugo Chavez that called for Americans to form an organized front against their own country’s interests, according to Mike Gonzalez, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation.
"They played a key role in setting up the U.S. Social Forum from the World Social Forum which was the network of networks for the Left,” Gonzalez, a former foreign affairs journalist and State Department official, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
He credits Chavez’s speech with sparking the 2007 inaugural meeting of the World Social Forum’s U.S. branch in Atlanta, Georgia.
"We must save the world, the people can save this world, but essential to this formula to save the world are the people of the U.S., the conscience of the U.S. people, the resurrection of the U.S. people… All of us must unite; join together in a victorious offensive against the empire,” Chavez said.
BLM co-founders Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi have both attended World Social Forum events, while a left-wing think tank that employed BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors was part of the U.S. Social Forum’s inaugural planning committee.
Gonzalez also alleged in an October report that Chavez once paid Tometi to foment political revolution in the U.S., citing an anonymous former Venezuelan government official who defected to the U.S.
I suspect it went to more than just inspiration; I suspect Chavez and Maduro gave them money and aided in planning as well.
Getting rid of the Communists in Venezuela is, or should have been, a top priority and pushing Maduro out is but a first step; now the opposition has to overthrow the dictators in power. They are the rightful government anyway as they clearly won the last election but had it stolen by the Communists.
The dominoes are falling and need to continue to fall. Cuba and Nicaragua come next.
These three countries have been the source of infection for the U.S. for a generation now and never should have been ignored and allowed to run wild like they have. It's no wonder it appeared the U.S. was about to turn Marxist; we let foreign powers meddle with our own system, including elections, for a long time while the CIA was promoting "Russian collusion" hoaxes to bring down the guy who would actually stop foreign meddling.
It's a huge rat's nest of big money interests (like the World Economic Forum and George Soros' networks) and foreign actors propped up by America's enemies and so much of the bloodshed and chaos on the streets in the U.S. goes back to these bad actors. I think Mr. Trump knows what he is doing.
Trump is taking action with very limited military entanglement - exactly the way to handle most of this. The resistance in these countries is already there, it's just a matter of nurturing them a bit. Reagan did that in the eighties and he is credited with the fall of Communism, although all he did was destroy the Soviet Union; Communism remained and in fact grew in places like universities and in countries like Venezuela. And of course there was an is China, and how much they have their hand in this is anybody's guess. My guess is quite a bit.
We made the mistake of assuming Communism was dead when Soviet Communism died. It just went elsewhere.
The fight against Communism is a generational struggle and will not end so easily. Too many Americans just did not and do not now understand that fact.
Hell; FASCISM is still alive and well, although it looks a bit different than under Mussolini and Hitler. Ideas don't go away; they have to be beaten by better ideas, and marginalized until people stop them. For example, there is currently an attempt to revive Zeus worship in Greece, after all these millenia...
Communism is a revival of the old Emperor worship in the late Roman Empire, and of course that never went away in places like China. They worshipped the Pharoah in Egypt too but that is gone now. Communism is just a way to put a scientific, enlightenment face on a very old system. And we let it return because we didn't take it seriously enough. Communism should be long in it's grave; it never did a thing for anyone but murder and torture them.
At any rate I think Trump is on the right course with this. The isolationists (like Rand Paul) will moan and groan about how we shouldn't involve ourselves in anything, but that is as foolish as the endless war interventionism of the neocons. Both are solutions to the day's problems that accomplish little. One need not have a feast or a famine - a sensible meal suffices.
