“No War ON Venezuela” means, for the left, that all aggression begins and ends with the U. S. war mongers. They are responsible for all wars and abuses in Venezuela. Not their despot, Maduro. If you want food and medicine? Look to socialism not capitalism. The people are starving because the greedy U.S. capitalistas thrive on war. Say no to regime change wars!!
Hosted by International Action Center [Face Book] the #23Feb “March on Wall Street” was meant to exposethe force behindthe coup in Venezuela: the U.S. ruling class!” No War on Venezuela!

“The cost of renouncing US citizenship is the highest in the world – especially since so many US citizens renounce.

People please spread and be aware of whats happening.Venezuela needs help.Theyre in a humanitarian crisis, people are dying from hunger and sickness. Today we see the cruelty of Maduro.Tons of humanitarian help such as food and medicine have been burned. #23Feb#VenezuelaLibrepic.twitter.com/62ko0cuyTJ
“What caused Venezuela economic crisis? Corruption. Discontent with corruption was cited by opposition-aligned groups as one of the reasons for the 2014Venezuelan protests. Venezuela used to be a wealthy nation of Latin America, but a corrupt system along with drop in oil prices drove the country into political and economic crisis.”
“Who brought socialism to Venezuela? The United Socialist Party of Venezuela (Spanish: Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela, PSUV) is a socialist political party in Venezuela which resulted from the fusion of some of the political and social forces that support the Bolivarian Revolution led by thelate President Hugo Chávez.”
“Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido, who is on a tour of Latin American nations to drum up support for his regime change efforts, has said he will call for new rounds of protests against President Nicolas Maduro upon his return.
…. calls himself the “interim president” of Venezuela, faces possible arrest upon return after he slipped out of the country in violation of a Supreme Court order to stay within the country’s borders.
Guaido left Venezuela last week to join “aid” convoys in Colombia and then met with US Vice President Mike Pence as well as other regional leaders to step up pressure on Maduro to resign.
Maduro’s government has closed borders with Brazil and Colombia in order to block what he says is an attempt by the US to proceed with its regime change plans.
Russia and China vetoed on Thursday a US and European-backed resolution at the United Nations that would have called for new presidential elections in Venezuela and unimpeded deliveries of humanitarian aid.
Besides Russia and China, countries like Iran and Turkey have also backed Maduro.” [Press TV – Iran News Service]

“As one of the first deserters, he was quickly taken in and presented to Guaido, who had sneaked across the border into Colombia to oversee the aid launch.
Torres said he stood at attention and pledged his loyalty to the 35-year-old lawmaker recognized as Venezuela’s interim president by over 50 nations, including the United States and many Latin American countries.
“We’re still in time to change history,” he said Guaido told him.
For Gomez, the breaking point came when he saw another National Guardsman hit in the face by a fire bomb. Even though he was badly injured, commanders wouldn’t call an ambulance to take him to the hospital, Gomez said. Fearing what might happen if he himself was struck by protesters, he decided to flee. “They wouldn’t have done anything for me,” Gomez said.” [NBC News]
“Venezuelan military defectors say people are starving to death. They condemn President Maduro as the US again gives its backing to opposition leader Juan Guaido.
The authorities in Colombia says more than 160 members of the armed forces have deserted. Sitting alongside their national guard, navy and police uniforms, one man who spent 30 years in the navy, said he believes more senior people will depart and ultimately weaken Maduro’s leadership.” [Sky News]
++ Final Question; When did Venezuela become communist?
“The Communist Party of Venezuela (Spanish: Partido Comunista de Venezuela, PCV) is a communist party and the oldest continuously existing party in Venezuela. It remained the main leftist political party in Venezuela from its foundation in 1931 until it split into rival factions in 1971.“
NEXT a LONG list of #23Feb Marxist/Socialist Orgs :
“Over 120 organizations and 2000 individuals have signed on to build Globally Coordinated Actions on Saturday#23Feb in defense of Venezuela against U.S. imperialist aggression and the coup of U.S. puppet Juan Guaidó.”

Lastly, you are asked to sign President Nicolás Maduro’s ‘Open Letter to the People of the U.S.
(excerpt From Maduro petition) ” If I know anything, it is about the people, because just like you, I am a man of the people. I was born and raised in a poor neighborhood of Caracas. I was forged in the heat of popular and union struggles in a Venezuela submerged in exclusion and inequality. I am no tycoon; I am a worker of mind and heart. Today I have the great privilege of presiding over the new Venezuela, rooted in a model of inclusive development and social equality, which Comandante Hugo Chávez forged starting in 1998, inspired by the legacy of Simón Bolivar.”
Pray for the People of Venezuela

al-Quds Day, June 23, 2017. The anti-Israel LIES and agitprop returned to Times Square. Again.
Every year. Same ol’, Same ol’. (Rinse. Repeat)
Commies and their anti-Israel chums (Muslims and the Neturei Karta) gathered on Seventh avenue to proclaim – LOUDLY- that the Holy Land. Israel. Jerusalem (al-Quds). The Temple Mount (al Aqsa mosque). The City of David. ALL are the ‘ancestral’ property of those “Palestinain” pretenders from Jordan (“victims’ of the Jews).
The Big LIE, claiming to be “Palestinians”. You name it. They claim it. “From the River to the Sea”.
In Arabic, Jerusalem is known as al-Quds : “The Holy” or “The Holy Sanctuary”.
Veteran Communist organizers ran the ‘show’ along with Cyrus McGoldrick (once head of NY-CAIR) ….
Most of the speakers SCREAMED their message of HATE , except for Sara Flounders. She spewed just as much hatred for Israel and America, but in an oddly quiet-tone. Either way, it’s still HATE. “It is Right To Rebel- Israel Go To Hell” (at approx 1:35) But, TODAY, they did not “OWN the streets”, just their hatred.
As the JDL- NY counter-protest continued, walking back and forth, with the JDL and Israeli flags, sullen was added to the Communist demeanor.
Now the al-Quds protest-leaders slipped profanity into their pro-forma, anti-Zionist, anti America diatribes. They were not happy.
Even the always confident Cyrus McGoldrick seemed to grow weary of the JDL-NY commotion.
The JDL-NY contingent, like gnats on a hot summer-night, were annoying but legal.
…. just keep walking …
So the Israeli, American,Trump in 2020 and JDL flags strolled back and forth.
Including an “al-Quds is HATE” sign.
The whistles. The rams horn. The acoustic megaphones. The jeering back at the speakers. It all worked. But, next time, I’d recommend MORE WHISTLES (maybe more cowbell!)
The JDL-NY counter-protest was unrelenting. Countering the LIES. A new day was dawning.
The NK – holding HORRID Nazi signs – were confronted by passersby, the JDL and a guy in a truck draped with Israeli flags.
He stopped his truck right beside the Neturei Karta, shouting at them in Hebrew.
Then, he drove SLOWLY down 7th. Next to the protest pens.
Yelling at the protestors, they yelled back and threw signs, as well as other small detritus at his truck. [caught this action in the video at about 1:38] All while NYC Students for Justice in Palestine organizer, Nerdeen Kiswani,was screaming hatred from the stage.
Soon after, very soon, the the police closed that traffic lane next to the barricades. No way would he, or anyone else, make a second pass.
Seems the war-of-flags and banners led to an arrest on the Left. No matter. Lefties LOOOVE anything that gets them more attention. Especially arrests.
Nick’s arrest took place midway through Joe Catron’s speech for the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network. A small team of demonstrators engaged in jail support arrived with Nick to the al-Quds Day Iftar organized by NYC Students for Justice in Palestine after the demonstration, meeting with cheers and strong solidarity and support.
Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network denounces the unjust and illegitimate arrest by the NYPD of Nick Maniace.
Such attacks are in no way surprising from a police department engaged in daily terror against Black people and other oppressed communities. This incident reflects ongoing NYPD support for Zionism and racism and the framework of repression and surveillance targeting the Palestine movement and Arab and Muslim organizing and community existence.
We urge full support for Nick Maniace at his scheduled court date on 28 August and, most importantly, continued and intensified organizing, protest and action against racism, Zionism, imperialism and colonialism, from NYPD repression on the streets of New York to Zionist settler colonialism in occupied Palestine.
In my own words, as I watched Sara Flounders argue against the arrest and JDL-NY’s permit.
JDL-NY had a PERMIT, not a sound permit, but an NYPD permit allowing them to protest across from the al-Quds protest; challenging the al-Quds lies, relentlessly. This annoyed dedicated Ramsey Clarke Commie, Sara Flounders. So she confronted an NYPD captain.
I over heard Sara arguing with the Capt. “Why was the JDL allowed to be so close to their protest?” (shouting – WHISTLING)
She waved her permit form. The Captain responded, “They (JDL-NY) have a permit, too.” Sara (shocked) “THEY have a permit?” (Capt) YES! ( Sara) flustered. annoyed. Jammed her cell phone to her ear – making a call (to someone) They do this a lot when manipulating the police. BUT- heh- nothing worked!
The Captain waved her away. Crossed back to the al-Quds pen, on the east side of Seventh Ave, telling an officer to get her out of the street. She was blocking traffic. (sweet)
As for that ARREST, remember: Commies LOVE to be arrested : victimology 101.
More on the arrest in a comment from the “belly-ache” of the beast:
While we’re on “Fact or Fiction” reportage- found an odd reference while searching Google for “Israel”. WHAT pray tell is THIS? Google- protesting history?
Definition: of Deprecated- a recommendation against using it “to express disapproval”
Perhaps the sponsors dedicated to spewing these FREE al -Quds LIES, might also work for GOOGLE. (friends in ‘high’ places?)
The list of sponsors for al Quds
Names and organizations: Students for Justice in Palestine organizer Nerdeen Kiswani. Speakers included Kiswani of NYC SJP, Joe Catron of Samidoun, Sara Flounders of the International Action Center, Bernadette Ellorin and Mike Legaspi of BAYAN USA, longtime activist Esperanza Martel, Richard Kossally of Peoples’ Power Assembly, Mike Bento of NYC Shut it Down, Syed Istafa Naqvi of the Islamic Association of North America, Shahid Comrade of the Pakistan USA Freedom Forum, Larry Holmes of the Workers World Party and Lawrence Hamm of the Peoples Organization for Progress, reflecting an alliance of social justice movements.
They do not relent. Neither should we. The TRUTH must be heard. No matter what the Commies and Muslim “fakestinians’ claim, these inconvenient (and IGNORED) FACTS remain what they are : FACT- NOT LIES!
“… there are no records to support the Palestinian narrative. In history, art and literature there is no trace at all of any Muslim people referred to by anybody as “Palestinians.”
Records show that it was 19th and 20th century Jewish settlement and the resulting employment opportunities that drew successive waves of Arab immigrants to Palestine. “The Arab population shows a remarkable increase ….. partly due to the import of Jewish capital into Palestine and other factors associated with the growth of the [Jewish] National Home..” (The Peel Commission Report – 1937)
“..in the Jewish settlement Rishon l’Tsion founded in 1882, by the year 1889, the forty Jewish families settled there, had attracted more than four hundred Arab families…. Many other Arab villages had sprouted in the same fashion.” (Joan Peters – From Time Immemorial p. 252 – referenced further as: FTI)
British PM Winston Churchill said in 1939: “.. far from being persecuted, the Arabs have crowded into the country [Palestine]..”
Before the Six Day War in 1967, when Jordan controlled the West Bank and Egypt ruled in Gaza, there was never any suggestion on the part of the “Palestinians” that they wanted independence in their ancestral homeland. The reason was that the “Palestinian” nation hadn’t been invented yet.
In fact, before the State of Israel was born, the term “Palestinians” was used by the Jews to refer to themselves and their organizations. “The Palestine Post”, the Palestine Foundation Fund, Palestine Airways, and the Palestine Symphony Orchestra were all purely Jewish enterprises.
We first hear of Arabs referred to as “Palestinians” when Egypt’s President Nasser, with help from the Russian KGB, established the “Palestine Liberation Organization” in 1964. It was only during the 1970s that the newly minted “Palestinians” began to promote their narrative through murder and assassination. The Arabs have justified their attacks as acts of the indigenous people struggling for national liberation.[snip]
The claim that “Palestinians” are the indigenous people of Israel and that most of the present Palestinian Arabs have lived in these lands since time immemorial is a total fraud. “
