All the indications1 are that Donald Trump will launch a war against Venezuela soon. And that Trump will join with Israel in attacking Iran again soon after attacking Venezuela.
Neither Venezuela nor Iran have attacked or are even preparing to attack the United States. The newly-named U.S. Department of War is aptly named now because it was never primarily about defending us; not even in World War II, about which I wrote an entire available from Amazon here.
These new upcoming wars, like all the earlier U.S. wars (going waaaay back), are wars against bogeyman enemies for the purpose of controlling us, the have-nots, so that it will be easier for the very rich to treat us like dirt and get rich off of our labor. I invite you to read the EXTENSIVE proof for this assertion in my long article here, which is about how the rich oppressive classes (including the American billionaire ruling class in recent decades) have been using wars against bogeyman enemies for millennia all over the world to control “their own” have-nots.
These wars enable the ruling class to declare any domestic resistance to their oppression to be “unpatriotic” and “aiding and abetting the enemy.” (These wars also, of course, enable the owners of the weapons industries to make a fortune at the tax-payers’ expense selling their weapons to the government for sky-high prices. And some of these wars enrich those capitalists who acquire control of resources such as oil in the ‘enemy’ nation; is it a coincidence that both Iran and Venezuela have huge oil deposits?)
As I discuss in my articles here (about Israel) and here (about Iran), the rulers of these nations use war against a bogeyman enemy to get away with oppressing “their own” have-nots. This is something virtually all oppressive ruling classes do, now and in the past.
Let’s discuss what’s going on with our friends and neighbors and relatives, so that these new wars don’t put us on the defensive when our rulers declare that anybody who doesn’t support them in wartime is unpatriotic.
Trump’s having ordered the Navy, despite no provocation, to shoot to kill Venezuelans in boats, and his recent war rhetoric against Venezuela accusing its government of being just a drug cartel harming Americans with drugs, indicate war against Venezuela is imminent. Trump and Netanyahu’s failed attempt to use covert methods to kill all of the Iranian leaders, followed by their recent failed attempt to use overt Air Force bombers to eliminate Iran’s ability to enrich uranium, and their continuing war rhetoric against Iran indicate that they intend to re-start the war against Iran and “finish the job” before too long.
John and others, you mignt also be interested in this brilliant in-depth analysis of trump's 20-point plan for Gaza to bring the palestinians under the dictatorship of big money https://open.substack.com/pub/escapekey/p/the-20-point-plan-for-gaza
This seems to be the template they are going to use moving forward with every new place that they destabalize.
Control and transfer of governance to the wealthy owners of capital through crisis/emergency, with zero say to the locals who live basically under neo-colonial rule serving foreign masters.
The US govt and Israeli govt (which seem to be practically one and the same today) are their muscle-man to set in motion this control template, to destroy democracy and self rule and transfer control to the owners of capital.
PS. I mentioned above "trump's plan.." but it's obviously not trump who wrote anything. Trump himself can barely string a coherent sentence together if it's not written for him by his handlers to read out. He's obviously just the front man to keep conservatives clapping as the wealthy predators take control over humanity.
What an early bird! What an astute thinker! And what a dedicated informer of readers about the sad reality we face! Thank you, and best wishes, John.
