Opinion | Terror Is the Most Effective Weapon of Nicaragua's 'Contras' (Published 1986)

Yup, that's right! On Monday before the 4th of July when they thought no one was paying attention, Joe Biden happily appointed Elliot Abrams to the US Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy, this the same guy who trained contras who bragged about their use of terrorism in an Anti-Communist Dirty War that killed tens of thousands of Nicaraguan civilians.

This man is responsible for countless coups, foreign interventions, deadly sanctions, Proxy-wars, political interference, supporting both sides in secret wars, blatant war crimes, terrorism, massacres and outright Genocide.

That's your President Dems and Libs who told us it was somehow immoral not to support the Imperialist War Criminal Joe Biden for President.

Now your moral President is appointing a notoriously immoral Neocon who's been convicted of lying to Congress to cover for his and the Reagan Administration's War Crimes; a guy who was also appointed to various regime change positions within the Trump and Bush administrations as well.

This is the single most Neocon Administration in the History of the United States.

Lol, there's even a petition from the Progressive International, not that it's going to do much good

Many top Biden surrogates, such as former Obama national security official Ned Price and Biden foreign policy aide Tony Blinken, have staunchly defended the Iran deal. Price argued that the assassination of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani was a result of President Donald Trump's decision to abandon the deal and would push the United States and Iran to the "brink of open conflict."

The Trump administration has taken a hard line against Tehran, enacting a "maximum pressure" campaign aimed at isolating Iran financially so that it will come to the table under more favorable circumstances for the United States. Special envoy for Iran Elliott Abrams told the Washington Free Beacon that Iran is in extremely poor economic condition. "A lot of money is tied up in various ways by our sanctions," Abrams said.

A Biden administration could enable cash-strapped and isolated Iran to regain ground, especially in its nuclear program, a major area of concern for Jerusalem. The Iran deal’s logic from the Obama-Biden years, according to Hanegbi, was "mistaken—and that’s an understatement."

"If Biden stays with that policy, there will, in the end, be a violent confrontation between Israel and Iran," Hanegbi concluded.

Confirmed: Elliott Abrams's Defense of Mass Murder Was Based on Lies

The reporters who covered the El Mozote massacre were right all along.

From the moment he won the 1980 presidential election, Ronald Reagan began looking for somewhere to fight a proxy war against the Soviet Union. Together with his advisers, he chose the Central American nation of El Salvador, where a civil war was raging between Marxist guerrillas and a military-led dictatorship. To remain in power, the junta relied on "death squads" to kill not only its opponents but anyone who might even think of supporting its opponents, including nuns, priests, and children. The government claimed the death squads were independent, but in truth, they were just regular government soldiers, often (but not always) out of uniform. In order to justify US involvement in the war, Reagan had to defend the junta in the media.... Many Americans were not only appalled by the junta's willingness to murder US-based nuns and churchwomen; they also feared US involvement in another anti-guerrilla war in which the country had no clear national interest.... On the day before the first hearing, January 26, 1982, Raymond Bonner of The New York Times and Alma Guillermoprieto of The Washington Post simultaneously reported on an incident in which each hundreds of unarmed civilians had been summarily murdered by uniformed Salvadoran soldiers. (Bonner put the number of victims between 722 and 926.) Neither reporter had seen the massacre take place, and both noted that their guides to the site had been associated with the guerrillas. Yet the journalists saw the corpses firsthand, and photographer Susan Meiselas documented many of them as well. Immediately, the administration and its allies went to war with reporters and their publications to try to prevent the story from mucking up their proxy war.... In the decades since this debacle, two things have become obvious: The first is that the El Mozote massacre was even worse than the reporters were able to determine at the time, and the second is that the US officials at the time, including especially [assistant secretary of state for Inter-American Affairs, Thomas] Enders and [Elliott] Abrams, were lying on behalf of the killers.

U.S. activists defend Venezuelan sovereignty: Inside report from an embassy protector

Washington, D.C. — In early April, a coalition of anti-war activists called for a civilian defense of the Embassy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela

By Leon Koufax

As I write this, the embassy is still being defended. War criminal Elliott Abrams, Trump’s “special envoy for Venezuela,” declared this defense illegal. The U.S. State Department has ordered all activists currently in the embassy to leave. Secret Service and D.C. metro police officers circle the facility. Yet the anti-coup activists at the embassy remain steadfast.

I’m proud to have been part of this effort, as have many organizers affiliated with Struggle-La Lucha. Along with many other progressive organizations, we stand in solidarity with President Maduro. We stand in solidarity with the legacy of Hugo Chávez. We stand in solidarity with the people of Venezuela and all of their beloved institutions: from terrific education, to near universal housing, to national pride, and, as alluded to before, fantastic baseball.

Footage Contradicts U.S. Claim That Nicolás Maduro Burned Aid Convoy

A reconstruction of the moment when a truck bearing humanitarian supplies was set on fire shows the likely cause was a Molotov cocktail thrown by a protester.

If you still believe Random Assortment Scum-Of-The-Earth John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Mike Pence, and Elliott Abrams about Venezuela: why?

What have they done to earn that credibility?

Rep Ilhan Omar- Dragging The Foreign Affairs Committee Off The Rails

Rep Ilhan Omar- Dragging The Foreign Affairs Committee Off The Rails

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had to know that putting an anti-Semite who actually hates America on the Foreign Affairs Committee was a bad idea. Rep Ilhan Oman “attacked” Venezuelan envoy Elliott Abrams, demanding to know whether if “a genocide will take place and you will look the other way because American interests were being upheld.”

Abrams refused to answer the question, calling the line…
