Yagya Dollie ♥️I was just having this conversation with my boyfriend and you nailed what we said! If only ppl would realize how they are stealing our minds/control all in the name of convenience! We must foster love and compassion over this and retake our hearts,as well♥️
It called “bread and circus”. The Roman learnt how to control the people by giving them free food and entertaining them with big entertainment events. All humans must realize that we control the government, not the other way around.
We need to have a war crimes tribunal for all of these figures on both sides of the isle, to include congress members who funded these abominations and refused to fulfill their duties of oversight.
those in favor of guilty verdict? this is our tribunal! revolution will be the punishment ! no way the government will police itself! when the people rise up in millions the army will have no choice but to take the side of the people
You can count on Wilkerson to speak the truth, but At 9:35 he slips up when he says they'er making so many mistakes, they know exactly what they"er doing. But, great guest and love your show of Truth.
and that's the point by Wilkerson- the American oligarchy is designed to maintain it's wealth and power while more more Americans scrape by, in debt and poverty, promoting non-democracy in this country, through voter suppression and lack of participation, combined with the expense of running a campaign and fundraising. And our oligarchy, in combination with the military industrial complex, seeks to have a permanent for profit war state while propping up other oligarchies in other countries so that our corporations can plunder, destroying democracy around the globe. Capitalism= the enemy of democracy
When will people understand that the best slaves are the ones who think they are free!! And if you don’t know who the slaves are here it’s the United States citizen.
Really the vast majority of us outside the US recognise the language the US uses when it talks about democracy. It is always about some natural resource and pillaging. Poor vikings have been maligned, but they have nothing on British and American colonialists.
Marvee78 glad you feel so sorry for those poor vikings, should have been canonized. Perhaps the Pope will do this after he finishes defrocking his flock
I alway enjoy listening to Col. Larry Wilkerson, he reminds me of the many good people Ive had the opportunity of meeting during my time in military. Hes our generations Smedley Butler giving us the facts, pure and simple.... no b.s... no sea stories
Abrams is such an amazing liar. I think he may actually believe what comes out of his mouth, but it doesn't matter. Lies that create violence and death are what they are.
Excellent interview/discussion! The information isn't surprising to me after everything I've read and listened to of similar kind, but it nonetheless remains very heartbreaking, as well as frightening, given the extreme criminality of these people who make the US a rogue state. And I don't know if most of these criminals mentioned in the video, those working in political offices, are elected, or not, but Nancy Pelosi, that mad woman, is elected, so that means voters voted for her. Too many voters repeatedly vote in ways that aren't beneficial at all, but, instead, which are destructive for the USA. It happens also in other countries, but that isn't an excuse. They elect rogues repeatedly, so it makes them rogue right along with the criminals they vote for.
The name of the game is "Grand Theft Oil," muthafudgeas!!! "They worship a false god," John Bolton said with great solemnity, and the world laughed its collective ass off.
i never understand how people can talk so much about the koch bothers, while never saying a word about the father, who was a dominant player in the john birch society. it's such an important, missing piece of the puzzle - because there are no apples without an apple tree.
So US foreign policy is the same as its domestic policy. It seems that democracy means representative democracy for money people. Everyone else are the expendable peasants.

Larry Wilkerson is incredible in many ways to me. A man who served in Vietnam, then under Powell for Reagan and both Bushes to come out of all that with a quest of peace is one amazing thing. For that man then to be allowed to lecture in an American university espousing not only the corruption of those administrations but most of the others before and after it is totally another. What prompted the transformation is my question? If he thought this way throughout however and there was no transformation, then my other question has to be, what allowed him to stomach the policies he had to implement?

Brazilian 1964 coup d'état (was a series of events in Brazil from March 31 to April 1 that led to the overthrow of President João Goulart by members of the Brazilian Armed Forces, supported by the United States government. What was the US involvement in the 2016 coup in Brazil, did they organize the 2013 protests? Were the Snowden leaks a warning? www.quora.com/ Venezuela US interference (1895, 1908- 1935, 1948-1958, 2002 “administration of George W. Bush backed a failed military coup against Chávez in 2002, The attempted coup was closely linked to prominent neoconservatives including Elliott Abrams, the disgraced Iran-Contra criminal who played a key role in covering up massacres committed by US-backed death squads in Central America” Excerpts from The History - and Hypocrisy - of US Meddling in Venezuela venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/14263 “During most of the 20th century, US interference in Venezuela was mostly about oil, but that wasn’t always the case in earlier times. Washington’s involvement in the 1895 boundary dispute between Venezuela and Britain was a key event in the emergence of the United States as a world power as the Grover Cleveland administration, invoking the Monroe Doctrine prohibition against European colonization of the Americas, successfully sided with Venezuela. Later, during the Dutch-Venezuelan crisis of 1908, the US Navy helped Venezuelan Vice President Juan Vicente ómez seize power in a coup. Gómez, known as “The Catfish,” would rule the country either directly or through puppet presidents, until his death in 1935. His regime was one of inconceivably medieval brutality. The exploitation of Venezuela’s tremendous petroleum resources has been the constant objective of US policy and action toward the South American state for over a century. This meant backing the viciously repressive dictator Marcos Pérez Jiménez (1948-1958), whose regime forces subjected political prisoners to tortures every bit as horrific as those committed during the Gómez era. Jiménez was as generous to transnational corporations as he was cruel to his own people. The United States, which cared about the former far more than the latter, counted the despot as a close ally, even awarding him the military Legion of Merit “for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services and achievements” and providing his dreaded Directorate of National Security (DSN) with invaluable assistance as it imprisoned, tortured and murdered thousands of innocent Venezuelans. A few years after Venezuela shifted to democracy in 1958, most other South American nations began falling under the iron-fisted rule of US-backed military dictatorships. The military and security forces of these repressive coup regimes were often trained by the United States, at the US Army School of the Americas and elsewhere, in kidnapping, torture, assassination and democracy suppression. As US-backed death squads trained from US-authored torture manuals murdered, tortured and terrorized innocent men, women and children from Central America to Argentina, Venezuelans enjoyed decades of peace and prosperity. However, the US never stopped meddling in Venezuela’s affairs, and after the free and fair election of Hugo Chávez in 1998 and the subsequent launch of the Bolivarian Revolution, US meddling would reach levels that would shock the conscience of the world. The Bolivarian Revolution, a series of economic and social reforms that dramatically reduced poverty and illiteracy while greatly improving health and other living conditions for millions of Venezuelans, drew worldwide acclaim. The reforms, which included nationalizing key components of the nation’s economy as part of an agenda of socialist uplift, made Chávez a hero to millions of people and the enemy of Venezuela’s oligarchs. The exportation of the Bolivarian Revolution, which included forging stronger, more peaceful inter-American relations and even the provision of free home heating oil for hundreds of thousands of needy people in the United States, made Chávez a marked man in Washington. The administration of George W. Bush - whom Chávez infamously called “the devil” in a speech before the United Nations - backed a failed military coup against Chávez in 2002. The attempted coup was closely linked to prominent neoconservatives including Elliott Abrams, the disgraced Iran-Contra criminal who played a key role in covering up massacres committed by US-backed death squads in Central America and Otto Reich, a staunch supporter of Cuban exile terrorists who have killed at least hundreds of innocent men, women and children throughout the Americas. Two key coup plotters, Army commander Efraín Vasquez and Gen. Ramirez Poveda, were trained at the US Army School of the Americas. The coup briefly ousted Chávez but loyalist forces and popular support restored his rule 47 hours later. Barack Obama continued Bush’s policy of demonizing Chávez, whose government he called “authoritarian.” This, despite the fact that former president Jimmy Carter, who won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work at the election-monitoring Carter Center, called Venezuela’s election process “the best in the world.” In 2015, Obama declared Venezuela an “extraordinary threat to national security,” a bewildering assertion considering the country has never started a war in its history. The United States, on the other hand, has intervened in, attacked, invaded or occupied Latin American and Caribbean nations more than 50 times and, as Obama spoke, the US military was busy bombing seven countries in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia. For decades, successive US administrations have also lavished Venezuela’s neighbor Colombia - which has been condemned for its government and paramilitary death squad massacres and deadly corporate-backed crackdowns on indigenous peoples and workers - with billions upon billions of dollars in military and economic aid.“ The History - and Hypocrisy - of US Meddling in Venezuela.......... venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/14263 The Coup in Venezuela, Explained............... th-cam.com/video/STcepwXxwWA/w-d-xo.html Noam Chomsky - History of US Rule in Latin America....th-cam.com/video/NKwJI9axblQ/w-d-xo.html

“The fight for democracy led by the US.” 😂😂😂😂😂 As far as I know, Tulsi Gabbard is the only person I know of that has spoken about the travesties of “American intervention and aid.”
Abrams says: it is not about intervention but clearly he does not recognize the voting system in Venezuela.But if you do not accept a voting process, how can an interim President be voted in? The fact that Guaidó seems inept to carry his opposition but flees to Colombia instead, makes clear, he leads a minority, which, by Democratic standards, has to bow to the majority.

"All for ourselves, and nothing for other people, seems, in every age of the world, to have been the vile maxim of the masters of mankind."

Help bring democracy to the USA ... frack a politician today!

I thought this video was "The Peppermint War State", which I clicked because I'm devouring a box of Andes mints. I'm at war with these peppermints.
What a mess!
THANKS---
Eye-opening
The champion of democracy continues to dictate to the world how freedom shall be conducted. Does the world united have the balls to stand-up to this dictator.
Good stuff... keep up the truth reporting! People grab this URL and insert it into comments sections when you see people identifying too strongly with one political party or another.
@The Real News Network would love to see some solutions for the people to buck this political system we are being forced into, if you have any
Convention Of The States is not a Constitutional Convention.
the us 'struggle' is an obscene insanity.
Its to late to save America. To much, way to much corruption. But as long as people have food, entertainment, entitlements, etc., theyll be willing to overlook it. America has never been perfect, but I sure miss the America of my childhood, the 50s, 60s, and early 70s.

Venezuela US interference (1895, 1908- 1935, 1948-1958, 2002
“administration of George W. Bush backed a failed military coup against Chávez in 2002,
The attempted coup was closely linked to prominent neoconservatives including Elliott Abrams, the
disgraced Iran-Contra criminal who played a key role in covering up massacres committed by US-backed death squads in Central America”
Excerpts from The History - and Hypocrisy - of US Meddling in Venezuela
venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/14263
“During most of the 20th century, US interference in Venezuela was mostly about oil, but that wasn’t always the case in earlier times. Washington’s involvement in the 1895 boundary dispute between Venezuela and Britain was a key event in the emergence of the United States as a world power as the Grover Cleveland administration, invoking the Monroe Doctrine prohibition against European colonization of the Americas, successfully sided with Venezuela. Later, during the Dutch-Venezuelan crisis of 1908, the US Navy helped Venezuelan Vice President Juan Vicente ómez seize power in a coup. Gómez, known as “The Catfish,” would rule the country either directly or through puppet presidents, until his death in 1935. His regime was one of inconceivably medieval brutality.
The exploitation of Venezuela’s tremendous petroleum resources has been the constant objective of US policy and action toward the South American state for over a century. This meant backing the viciously repressive dictator Marcos Pérez Jiménez (1948-1958), whose regime forces subjected political prisoners to tortures every bit as horrific as those committed during the Gómez era. Jiménez was as generous to transnational corporations as he was cruel to his own people. The United States, which cared about the former far more than the latter, counted the
despot as a close ally, even awarding him the military Legion of Merit “for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services and achievements” and providing his dreaded Directorate of National Security (DSN) with invaluable assistance as it imprisoned, tortured and murdered thousands of innocent Venezuelans.
A few years after Venezuela shifted to democracy in 1958, most other South American nations began falling under the iron-fisted rule of US-backed military dictatorships. The military and security forces of these repressive coup regimes were often trained by the United States, at the US Army School of the Americas and elsewhere, in kidnapping, torture, assassination and democracy suppression. As US-backed death squads
trained from US-authored torture manuals murdered, tortured and terrorized innocent men, women and children from Central America to Argentina, Venezuelans enjoyed decades of peace and prosperity. However, the US never stopped meddling in Venezuela’s affairs, and after the free and fair election of Hugo Chávez in 1998 and the subsequent launch of the Bolivarian Revolution, US meddling would reach levels that would shock the conscience of the world.
The Bolivarian Revolution, a series of economic and social reforms that dramatically reduced poverty and illiteracy while greatly improving health and other living conditions for millions of Venezuelans, drew worldwide acclaim. The reforms, which included nationalizing key components of the nation’s economy as part of an agenda of socialist uplift, made Chávez a hero to millions of people and the enemy of Venezuela’s oligarchs. The exportation of the Bolivarian Revolution, which included forging stronger, more peaceful inter-American relations and even the provision of free home heating oil for hundreds of thousands of needy people in the United States, made Chávez a marked man in Washington.
The administration of George W. Bush - whom Chávez infamously called “the devil” in a speech before the United Nations - backed a failed military coup against Chávez in 2002. The attempted coup was closely linked to prominent neoconservatives including Elliott Abrams, the disgraced Iran-Contra criminal who played a key role in covering up massacres committed by US-backed death squads in Central America and Otto Reich, a staunch supporter of Cuban exile terrorists who have killed at least hundreds of innocent men, women and children throughout the Americas. Two key coup plotters, Army commander Efraín Vasquez and Gen. Ramirez Poveda,
were trained at the US Army School of the Americas. The coup briefly ousted Chávez but loyalist forces and popular support restored his rule 47 hours later.
Barack Obama continued Bush’s policy of demonizing Chávez, whose government he called “authoritarian.” This, despite the fact that former president Jimmy Carter, who won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work at the election-monitoring Carter Center, called Venezuela’s election process “the best in the world.” In 2015, Obama declared Venezuela an “extraordinary threat to national security,” a bewildering assertion considering the country has never started a war in its history. The United States, on the other hand, has intervened in, attacked, invaded or occupied Latin American and Caribbean nations more than 50 times and, as Obama spoke, the US military was busy bombing seven countries in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia. For decades, successive US administrations have also lavished Venezuela’s neighbor Colombia - which has been condemned for its government and paramilitary death squad massacres and deadly corporate-backed crackdowns on indigenous peoples and workers - with billions upon billions of dollars in military and economic aid.“

Larry, these guys may never have won anything for the American nation or people, but if they keep getting put into these positions it's sure as hell they're winning some awfully big and important stuff for someone!
“The fight for democracy led by the US.” 😂😂😂😂😂 As far as I know, Tulsi Gabbard is the only person I know of that has spoken about the travesties of “American intervention and aid.”
Iran-Contra was not the biggest mistake of Reagan's administration, it was the epitome of Reagan's administration, his administration in a nutshell.
Real great insides of "The Swamp", needs even more investigation.
International Mutual Neutralist Party Templates you are not convinced? lol why so you want government to investigate themselves? lol
Abrams says: it is not about intervention but clearly he does not recognize the voting system in Venezuela.But if you do not accept a voting process, how can an interim President be voted in?
The fact that Guaidó seems inept to carry his opposition but flees to Colombia instead, makes clear, he leads a minority, which, by Democratic standards, has to bow to the majority.
Wilkerson has a way with words.
Hands of Venezuela
Here's hoping that Col. Wilkerson becomes either National Security Advisor, Sec. of State or Sec. of Defense in the next Democratic administration!

Great video,
The only thing American can be human again is to elect people from the country outside of Washington DC and New York.
