in venezuela, in cuba, nicaragua, and all around the world. socialism promises prosperity, but it delivers poverty. socialism promises unity, but it delivers hatred, and it delivers division. socialism promises a better future, but it always returns to the darkest chapters of the past. that never fails. it always happens. socialism is a sad and discredited ideology rooted in the total ignorance of history and human nature. which is why socialism eventually must always give rise to tyranny, which it does. socialists profess a love of diversity but they always insist on absolute conformity. we know that socialism is not about justice. it's not about equality. it's not about lifting up the poor. socialism is about one thing only: power for the ruling clas class. and the more power they get, the more they pray. they want to run health care, run transportation and finance, energy, education, run everything. they want the power to decide who wins and who loses, who was up and who is down. what's true and what's false, and even who lives and who dies

two hundred years and present is about the same time that washington unveiled sanctions against nicaragua the on rest also continued although the government introduced reforms raising taxes. the government scrapped the reforms the us continues throughout the year leaving more than three hundred and twenty people dead now another country whose opposition protests have triggered u.s. talks of regime change of course is venezuela the u.s. has recognized self-proclaimed interim president one white oh elected venezuelan president nicolas maduro retains the support of the military and accuses washington of attempting to bring about a coup both nicaragua and venezuela suffer economically under a sweeping u.s. sanctions. activist can stone things washington's applying a tried old formula. the united states is playing with the same playbook as they you in venezuela and as they used against the former yugoslavia i get libya against iraq against syria bolton tweet about this alleged defection at the u.n. now it is part of the playbook first the first part of the playbook is you demonize the leader t

the days of socialism and communism are numbered not only in venezuela but in nicaragua and cuba as well thank you this troika of tyranny this triangle of care stretching from havana to caracas to managua is the cause of immense human suffering bolton issued his warning to nicaragua after three prominent figures in last year's antigovernment riots were sentenced to more than two hundred years in prison the unrest started last april after the government introduced reforms are raising taxes and slashing pensions and though the government did scrap the reforms washington unveiled the act targeting nicaragua's top financial institutions with very tough sanctions now another country whose opposition protests have triggered u.s. talks of regime change is venezuela the u.s. has recognized self-proclaimed interim president one white go and called on the military to abandon venezuela's elected president that however has not worked and nicolas maduro continues to accuse washington of attempting to bring about a coup both nicaragua and venezuela are haemorrhaging on the hefty u.s. sanctions with pe

-backed contras in nicaragua. we are joined now by tim johnson, who has been reporting on the story for mcclatchy. joining us from pennsylvania. welcome to democracy now! lay out what you found. mentioned, this air charter company, 21 air, repeatedly went to places in venezuela and colombia starting january 11. prior to that, it had largely operated domestically. suddenly, he began to change its patterns. often, there would be even to flight today between miami and places in columbia or venezuela. i actually learned about this from somebody who tweeted about it. a gentleman in canada who follows ship and airplane movements noticed this and we started looking into the history of the chairman of 21 air and saw he has a number of businesses. two of those businesses used an address in northwest miami that were previously used by a subsidiary of gemini air cargo -- which, as you mentioned, was listed in the amneststy international report as having participated in renditions. juan: tim johnson, a boeing 767 is a pretty

then you havave nicaragua.hen i see elllliott abrams, i have a verervisceral reaction and i have to kind of bree thenn -- if f i was not sigh andld, i would disbelief but it just confirms the united states is in decline. this clearly a sign of u.s. degeneracy. his appointment shows the trumpp administration is willing to unleash the darkest forces in u.s. modern history of war am a destabilization, and death squads. that is my reaction. nermeen: can you say specifically, roberto, what was elliott abrams role and knowledge of these massacres that you pointed to in el salvador, quad a maulik, and nicaragua? >> i would point people to look to his titles. his first title under the reagan administration was assistant secretary for human rights and humanitarian affairs. there are a lot of human -- there is a lot of human and elliott abrams' title. in terms of the policies coming was primarily focused on the inhuman. the mamass graves, suppoporting governmentnts and militaries lie , who isrioios montt declared respons

are sure to cripple the regime in venezuela and they're trying to actually bring that regime in nicaragua obviously it's seen as a change of regime that american tried to myrtle to impose on not in that article and i think the backer of vines or other law and cooper nicaragua historically they will stick with their client and seem to be it's more then. it's probably the sovereignty of those three states but now the conflict cars are up in venezuela the pressure is more about burns well about i don't think those country will abandon easily vines about a law because till the said government this government has been elected by the people and should be left to the people to maintain the power they are. frequently being said over the last few weeks it's america's interest to side really pretty much ease the vast reserves of oil in venezuela would you go along with that. yes absolutely i think america has a high on bonds and it's one of that's a hard sell largest reserve in the world and i think they wanted the oil and they wanted to have a government loyal to them and they think that ever they

take over the elected president of nicaragua in an election.the phrase democratically elected president of nicaragua? >> in 1985 sanders traveled to new york city to meet with ortega just after he imposed this state of emergency in nicaragua including shutting opposition newspapers and magazines. we hear about donald trump and his war on the media and then you have bernie sanders out there saying he was in favor of this. >> again, when you look at it, this was 1985, many of the people watching this program right now weren't alive in 1985 and i would also say when we look at contras they were far more brutal the killed far more people and trafficked drugs into our country. i can understand why bernie sanders would say they were more progressive than the contras. were they good? with a perfect? absolutely not and i don't think that is what he advocates for today. >> let's not point to the lesser two evils but having said that look at what he says just last week about the crisis in venezuela. 's opinions have not changed, they have worsened. >> th

elliott abrams was also apparently involved in the shipping in weapons into nicaragua under the guise of humanitarian aid now after we heard from the various countries that are on the security council we then heard from a number of other countries because under rule thirty seven of the un procedures under the u.n. procedures these various countries were then allowed to speak for the first among them was venezuela and we heard from the venezuelan foreign minister who had quite a bit to say about the allegations being leveled against his country by the international media by the united states and others this is some of what we heard from the venezuelan foreign minister. and here we also have trucks and let me tell you that when the truck was inspected there wasn't just food and medicine in the trunk it was a quip and for barricades it was nails i don't know what this is what was in the truck nails wire with security forces inspection this is what they found so he was going over the fact that it appears that these trucks supposedly containing humanitarian aid had other content within the

facts and with ensign as well that engages in work crimes as you did in guatemala el salvador and nicaragua as washington tries to install venezuelan opposition leader one of the country's president the u.s. special envoy for venezuela is grilled over alleged previous interventions in latin america this by members of congress. plus an iranian a photographer slams us president for using a picture taken by her you know recent tweet bashing tyrone so we speak. back to easier now that i don't buy a new a get up i have no twitter account and someone send this picture to me i did not expect this big. i'm upset is this issue is use for other things and not to our society. it is thursday february the fourteenth and early morning here in moscow let's get straight into your top stories for this hour. the b.b.c.'s syria producer is challenging the mainstream narrative on an alleged chemical attack in the country he claims that video of the supposedly off the mosque of a toxic strike in the syrian city of duma was in fact stage it is a line that russia and damascus have long maintained others though ha

politicians criticize and threaten socialism in south america particular cuba venezuela nicaragua morerecently as well is this really about right left wing ideology or is this really about geopolitics and spheres of influence. i think this is much more about geopolitics and both the democrats and the republicans have proven themselves to be very interventionist. and in fact you might say that the democrats right now are more the party of war than the republicans the new generation of. social so called social democrats emerging in the democratic party are changing to. geo political intervention only partly i haven't heard too many words against intervention and declaring. the president of venezuela from the democratic party right now so i'm going to fall short of calling them socialists nevertheless i think trump is definitely more than invading venezuela or using. launching some kind of military intervention i think the real use of venezuela is to drum up support for the republicans and for his presidency in two thousand and twenty by showing the evils and dangers of socialism so he's

about certain activities in latin american support for certain organizations in central america nicaragua and elsewhere and now it's important also to know that we have heard from the secretary of the russian state security council indicating that the united states seems to be planning some kind of military intervention in venezuela this is what we heard from a russian official. soon sarcasm and arrogance towards the missouri when people the u.s. is preparing a military invasion of an independent state. special forces to put three coup landing u.s. schools to some of the facts indicate that the pentagon is strengthening its troops in the region legally elected president. the people understand this will hence the reaction the refusal to accept the goods from the grass the country and support the president of russia that the u.s. is preparing to take military action in venezuela that. know. now abrams has dismissed those claims saying that the united states is not planning any invasion that was groundless however at the same time many people are watching this u.n. security council as there

the days of the socialism and communism are numbered, not only in venezuela to my but in nicaragua and in cuba as well. amy: in a major speech in miami, florida, president trump calls on the venezuelan military to abandon its support for president nicolas maduro and to support self-proclaimed venezuelan president juan guaido. this comes as a new book by former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe says trump considered going to war as far back as 2017. we will host a debate on venezuela. then we look at the fallout after amazon scrapped its plans to build a major office in new york due to widespread community protests. we will speak to new york city councilmember ron kim, who opposed giving amazon $3 billion in taxpayer subsidies. instead of bailing out the people in new york, our own democratic governor was willing to give my transfer wealth out of new york and give it directly to the pockets of the richest man on the planet? it iss ridiculous and about time we step up as democrats, as progressives, andd realally put an end to corporate welfare. amy: all that and more, coming up. welcome

the president wants freedom for nicaragua as well. he says the u.s. will never allow the hatred, ignorance and division. america will never allow socialism here. we have a former venezuelan mayor who fled the deadly regime. five interest groups planning to sue over the president's national emergency declaration. this as one of president trump's biggest sworn enemies. he says trump is wrong, there is no border crisis. but this same democrat not too long ago demanded congress has to act on the border crisis. he also attacked congress for not doing so. you will be shocked who that person is. the backlash against alexandria ocasio-cortez continued through the weekend and it's now intensifying. first for chasing away amazon from new york. democrats are saying, cortez, you are economically ignorant. now this, even the new york city housing authority which cortez used in her opposition to amazon, this same housing authority says cortez you and the democrats are totally wrong. you are grand standing. you never even talked to us, and you created a job loss dis

selling arms to iran and funneling the process to communist rebels waging a brutal insurgency in nicaragua he was subsequently hundred two convictions for misleading congress about the affair then two thousand and two abrams was accused of attempting to orchestrate a coup attempt against chavez in venezuela journalists mux blumenthal told us nicolas maduro is right to be skeptical about washington's intentions. we have to consider that trump's czar who is in charge of his venezuelan policy right now is elliott abrams who pioneered the strategy of using humanitarian aid as a disguise for delivering weapons to u.s. proxy forces first during the. wars and central america the proxy wars during which elliott abrams was overseeing several death squads and their genocidal humanitarian violations the venezuelan see this aid delivery especially in the in the light of abrams history of using aid as a cover for delivering arms to proxy forces as a violation of venezuelan sovereignty as an actual us invasion of venezuela and so in many ways this is seen as a trojan horse for us invasion. on wed and st

contra snafu happened under reagan secretly selling arms to iran in order to fund the contras in nicaragua was because reagan's goods needed the cash nowadays the military and intelligence apparatus that were once for cash are you ok there's twenty one trillion other accounting for dollars of the pentagon was last time so what are the pentagon as money going to come from. that's like a super bowl halftime show asking where's. going to come from. where we're going to go. for more importantly as we spread military weaponry and devices around the world when has that ever had unintended consequences. just as the whales that have been marching right up onto the beach in order to tell everyone how much they love anti-submarine sonar. it. sure scientists call these mass stranding of vents but i think the real term is illegal immigration are i was. kind of papers do they have has anyone even checked a new study has found mass stranding events of the whales were extremely rare prior to the one nine hundred sixty s. but increased markedly after the development of naval mid frequency active sonar but

the time now we're seeing the same thing basically any organization that's defending russia and nicaragua venezuela and iran i ought. is likely to find what's being put out is undermined challenge and in some cases it will be suppressed i mean that's the sort of conflict that we're now in a game is as i said it's almost like we're back in another cold war anybody broadcasting the truth about what's happening it's like these have that suppressed removed taken off. and every we've just got to carry on making sure we are able to access the truth outsells has on most of the western media we will never be told the truth. starts in germany nexus morning chancellor angela merkel sparked outrage among environmental activist after she cast doubt on the motives of protesting against climate change of all things out the zero correspondent peter all of us got it. protests demanding action on climate change obscene young people out on the streets of cities across the world including here in germany i. know i was. here. but it's politicians including those who've previously been outspoken on humanity's

elliott abrams was also apparently involved in the shipping in of weapons into nicaragua under the guise of humanitarian aid now the foreign minister of venezuela spoke and he pointed out that these humanitarian aid convoys seem to have some rather suspicious content here is what he said. and here we also have trucks and let me tell you that when the truck was inspected there wasn't just food and medicine in the truck it was a quick one for barricades it was nails i don't know what this is what was in the truck nails wire when security forces inspected this is what they found. so he was going over the fact that it appears that these trucks supposedly containing humanitarian aid had other content within them content that could have been used for violence and destabilization in venezuela he also brought photographs before the u.n. security council showing and seeming to indicate that essentially these aid trucks that were caught on fire were lit by an anti venezuelan government activists and he also showed photographs of the various cocktails flaming bottles that were brought to the event
