The collapsing US military & economic empire is making Washington & NATO even more dangerous. US could not beat the Taliban but thinks it can take on China-Russia-Iran...a sign of psychopathology for sure. We must all do more to help stop this western corporate arrogance that puts the future generations lives in despair. @BruceKGagnon

Jesse Jackson delivers food



Today marked a small victory for the "Embassy Protection Collective" in Washington DC as their allies - with the support of Rev Jesse Jackson - managed to deliver four bags of food, water, and batteries to the four remaining people inside the Venezuelan Embassy.

The coalition of activists including CODEPINK and ANSWER Coalition had previously been blocked by Juan Guaidó supporters and police in their efforts to make deliveries like this one.

It appears that Jackson's presence caused the police to stand down. One Guaidó supporter attempted to physically stop the delivery by trying to take the food and physically hold the rope, but activists including Ajamu Baraka managed to hold him back long enough to make the deliveries.

Update:  This morning around 10:00 am the police raided the embassy and removed all those inside.  It is possible that the media attention brought by Jesse Jackson's appearance, and the coming large protest on Saturday at the embassy, made the government move now to remove the 'Embassy Protection Collective' problem. No doubt the 'Guaidó supporter' trying to grab the food bag in the video was working for the CIA,  a key part of the deep state. This is how the mob running the government does things.  The days of fun and games in America are over.  The corporate fascists are going for total control now.
