Yes. It's clearly a coup-in-slow-motion.

And look at that carefully selected, contrived photo on top of this page.

My God, that's right out of Propaganda 101 at Langley's School for Spies.

Of course, the good old boys who gave you Pinochet and the horrors of Nicaragua and Honduras and Guatemala are hard at work.

I just never thought I'd see the government of Canada assisting them. Nor CBC acting as cheerleader.

Response to a reader who said the sooner Maduro is overthrown the better off will be Venezuelans:

You mean the better off will be the ugly likes of John Bolton and Mike Pompeo and Gina Haspel.

Nice folks to be cheering for.

Gina, by the way, ran one of the CIA dark sites in the Kidnap and Torture Gulag.

Apparently, she was good at her bloody work. She got a big promotion.

Response to a reader citing France’s support for Maduro’s opposition:

Macron is a joke in his own country.

Italy has said it will not support this.

So has the new president of Mexico.

Response to a comment asking about what America’s Left is doing:

There is no Left in the United States.

Bernie Sanders is a kind of pleasant avuncular old phony.

You saw him with Hillary, a woman just about as bloodthirsty as John McCain.

He has publicly opposed almost none of the ugly policies of the United States.
