Maduro accuses US of using military to force regime change

(Here is the plan as I see it. In 2002 the Bush/Cheney regime (9/11) orchestrated a military coup in which Hugo Chavez was captured and taken via helicopter from the capitol.  A million Venezuelans marched to the presidential palace and surrounded it while the head of the Venezuelan Chamber of Commerce declared his new presidency and celebrated with business leaders in the hall with him inside the palace. The palace guard convinced the people to hold off while they tried to fix the situation. They went in and told the business cronies that they were about to be torn to shreds by a million pissed off Venezuelans so they called the Americans and had them return Chavez. 

TrumpyBear, being led by the nose by his idiot military leaders, figure they can fix that situation with 4,000 marines but Maduro has activated the militias and sent them tons and tons of weapons. The marines will be slaughtered when a buisnessman and his mercinaries take the palace trying to get control of the country as well as the 50 million dollar bounty on Maduro's head.

When the marines are wiped out, as the military leadership knows will happen, then they can say Venezuela has started a war with America and they can kick it off in earnest. 

This is the same thing as the Bay of Pigs situation in 1961 when the intelligence and military leadership set up U.S. troops and our proxy army (Cuban exiles) got stuck in the mud when they landed in Cuba to regime change Castro's government. They knew it would happen and they knew they would then push Kennedy to start an outright war with Cuba as a result. He didn't. He figured out what they did and planned to break the CIA 'into a thousand pieces' as a result and fired Dulles for lying to him.

I figure this is the same kind of thing happening right now with TrumpyBear and his intel/military leadership.) 

from al Mayadeen English

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro condemned Washington’s decision to station three warships off his country’s coast, describing it as a direct attempt to impose regime change under the pretext of combating drug trafficking.

Maduro denounced the move as “immoral, criminal, and illegal,” warning that such actions threaten regional peace and violate international law.

Addressing lawmakers on Friday, he emphasized that any aggression against one Latin American state constitutes an attack on all nations in the region. 

At the XIII Extraordinary Summit of ALBA-TCP Heads of State and Government, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel delivered on Thursday a forceful denunciation of the Trump administration’s latest measures targeting Venezuela....

The Battle of the Letters, 1963: John F. Kennedy, David Ben-Gurion, Levi Eshkol, and the U.S. Inspections of Dimona

from National Security Archive

Kennedy Warned Israeli Leaders in (May)1963 That U.S. “Commitment and Support” Could be “Seriously Jeopardized” Absent Inspection of Dimona Reactor... and then he was dead

During 1963, President John F. Kennedy was preoccupied with issues such as Vietnam, the nuclear test ban negotiations, civil rights protests, and Cuba. It is less well known, however, that one of his most abiding concerns was whether and how fast Israel was seeking a nuclear weapons capability and what the U.S. should do about it. Beginning in April 1963, Kennedy insisted that the Israeli leadership accept regular bi-annual U.S. inspections, or in diplomatic language, “visits,” of Israel’s nuclear complex at Dimona in the Negev Desert. Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and his successor, Levi Eshkol, tried to evade and avoid inspections, but Kennedy applied unprecedented pressure, informing them bluntly, in a near ultimatum tone, that Washington’s “commitment to and support of Israel “could be “seriously jeopardized” if it was thought that the U.S. government could not obtain “reliable information” on the Dimona reactor and Israel’s nuclear intentions.

The full exchange of letters and related communications between Kennedy, Ben-Gurion, and Eshkol, published for the first time today by the National Security Archive, illustrates both Kennedy’s tenacity and Israeli leaders’ recalcitrance on the matter of Dimona. Surprised by the U.S.’s firm demands, Eshkol took seven weeks, involving tense internal consultations, before he reluctantly assented. Retreating from a near-diplomatic crisis, both sides treated their communications on Dimona with great secrecy.

Today’s posting of declassified documents from the U.S. National Archives system, including presidential libraries, provides a behind-the-scene look at the decision-making and intelligence review process that informed Kennedy’s pressure on Israeli prime ministers during 1963. Among the documents are:

• National Intelligence Estimate 30-63, “The Arab-Israeli Problem,” from January 1963, which estimated that if the Dimona reactor “operated at its maximum capacity … [it] could produce sufficient plutonium for one or two weapons a year.” This NIE was declassified in 2017.
• A letter from a U.S. diplomat in Tel Aviv who concluded that the detection of an Israeli decision to initiate a “crash” emergency nuclear program would require “a fairly careful watch on the activities of the dozen or so top scientists.” This document was declassified in 2018.
• A State Department memorandum supporting bi-annual inspections of the Dimona reactor to monitor the use of nuclear fuel. Without U.S. inspections, Israel could discharge spent fuel at six-month intervals “to produce a maximum of irradiated fuel for separation into weapons grade plutonium.”
• Kennedy’s statement to French Foreign Minister Couve de Murville that Israel’s nuclear program had put that country in a “stupid” position by giving “a pretext to the Russians, who are retreating in the region, to indict us before world opinion, and perhaps not without reason.”
• A memorandum of conversation from August 1963 in which a British diplomat reported on “new disturbing signs” of Israeli official interest in nuclear weapons. Declassified in 2016.
• The detailed report of the January 1964 U.S. inspection of Dimona that resulted from Kennedy’s pressure on Ben-Gurion and Eshkol.

Kennedy, Dimona and the Nuclear Proliferation Problem: 1961-1962

from The Wilson Center

President John F. Kennedy worried that Israel’s nuclear program was a potentially serious proliferation risk and insisted that Israel permit periodic inspections to mitigate the danger, according to declassified documents published today by the National Security Archive, Nuclear Proliferation International History Project, and the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies.  Kennedy pressured the government of Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion to prevent a military nuclear program, particularly after stage-managed tours of the Dimona facility for U.S. government scientists in 1961 and 1962 raised suspicions within U.S. intelligence that Israel might be concealing its underlying nuclear aims.  Kennedy’s long-run objective, documents show, was to broaden and institutionalize inspections of Dimona by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

On 30 May 1961, Kennedy met Ben-Gurion in Manhattan to discuss the bilateral relationship and Middle East issues. However, a central (and indeed the first) issue in their meeting was the Israeli nuclear program, about which President Kennedy was most concerned.   According to a draft record of their discussion, which has never been cited, and is published here for the first time, Ben-Gurion spoke “rapidly and in a low voice” and “some words were missed.”  He emphasized the peaceful, economic development-oriented nature of the Israeli nuclear project. Nevertheless the note taker, Assistant Secretary of State Philips Talbot, believed that he heard Ben-Gurion mention a “pilot” plant to process plutonium for “atomic power” and also say that “there is no intention to develop weapons capacity now.” Ben-Gurion tacitly acknowledged that the Dimona reactor had a military potential, or so Talbot believed he had heard.  The final U.S. versionof the memcon retained the sentence about plutonium but did not include the language about a “pilot” plant and  “weapons capacity.”

The differences between the two versions suggest the difficulty of preparing accurate records of meetings. But whatever Ben-Gurion actually said, President Kennedy was never wholly satisfied with the insistence that Dimona was strictly a peaceful project. Neither were U.S. intelligence professionals. A recently declassified National Intelligence Estimate on Israel prepared several months after the meeting, and published here for the first time, concluded that “Israel may have decided to undertake a nuclear weapons program. At a minimum, we believe it has decided to develop its nuclear facilities in such a way as to put it into a position to develop nuclear weapons promptly should it decide to do so.” This is the only NIE where the discussion of Dimona has been declassified in its entirety...

Yes Tucker, The Deep State is Real: On JFK and the Artifice of America

Tucker Carlson did the unthinkable: he acknowledged the CIA's participation in the murder of a seated president, our seated president (they kill others all the time) and the fact that what we see around us, the artifice of the Shining City on the Hill, is nothing more than shadow theater. I discuss that profound moment and I include a brief statement on respecting the wishes of Debbie's family at this trying moment in their lives.

"Fruit of more than a decade of scrupulous research, Michele Metta’s investigation into the assassination of John Kennedy is based on new exclusive documents. His work is so valuable that he received public praise from the acclaimed director Oliver Stone, and from Jim DiEugenio, one of the world’s leading experts on the death of JFK. Michele Metta is a historian and a journalist for the Italian newspaper l’AntiDiplomatico, where he has distinguished himself for being author of a large number of scoops."
