"The youth taking to the streets today in Caracas and other cities throughout the country, hiding their faces behind masks and balaclavas, destroying public buildings, vehicles, burning garbage, violently blocking transit and throwing rocks and molotov cocktails at security forces are being driven by extremist right-wing interests from Venezuela’s wealthiest sector."

"At the forum in Miami they discussed the strategy of «promoting democracy on the continent». Among the speakers were representatives of a number of Latin America NGOs which answer to the CIA. Their speeches on the «right to uprising» stood out. The key assertion of this topic is this: if a country has a tyrannical government, the people have a right to overthrow it. The speakers explicitly mentioned governments «undesirable» to the United States - in Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, etc."

"Maximilian Forte’s book on the Libyan war, Slouching Towards Sirte, is another powerful (and hence marginalized) study of the imperial powers in violent action, and with painful results, but supported by the UN, media, NGOs and a significant body of liberals and leftists who had persuaded themselves that this was a humanitarian enterprise."
“We do not need charity. We’ll study this thoroughly and, who knows, maybe Bolivia can cooperate with the American people,” President Morales said, without explaining what he meant by cooperation with Americans. “Let them condition , let them blackmail us,” he added, heatedly. “To me, there’s never been any aid.”

"Who are the real terrorists? Certainly not the people working to protect the land. In this video, Unis’tot’en Camp member Dini Ze Toghestiy talks about the mislabling of land defenders as terrorists, when the opposite is true. Indigenous land defenders are protecting their lands and communities from the terrorism of colonialism and industrial resource extraction."

"In the six pages that HRW dedicates to Venezuela in its World Report 2014, released this week, it manages to tell at least 30 serious lies, distortions, and omissions. Pointing out these lies is important, because many people believe that HRW is a neutral authority on human rights, and the mainstream press publish articles and headlines based on HRW report conclusions."
"Anything short of a radical, systemic, and comprehensive change, of a formidable revolutionary movement against global capitalism and hierarchical domination of all kinds will yield useless reforms, pseudo-solutions, false hopes, and protracted suffering. The time for partial visions, separate struggles, and fragmented resistance is over, and the hour of total liberation and revolutionary alliance politics has arrived."
