Elliott Abrams is infamous for withholding a whole series of information from his supervisors and providing false information to Congress at least three times during the investigation into the Iran-Contra Affair during the 1980s, as well as supporting the governments of Guatemala and El Salvador which were actively promoting genocide during the same decade. In 1991, Abrams was convicted and sentenced on two misdemeanor counts of withholding information from Congress. He was later pardoned by President George H.W. Bush in 1992 . .

double crossed?

Bolsonaro wants a base too!

either side can always go hide in the amazon

Run through the jungle...

Whoah . . and this is the guy that Mike Pompeo just announced will, quote: "Have responsibility for all things related to our efforts to restore democracy to Venezuela"

I had a few good discussions with this guy from El Salvador last year. It's crazy the stuff that went down.

I bet.

Perhaps one of Abrams’ most nefarious actions, aside from evading congressional legislation, was his attempt to protect General Efrain Rios Montt, the Guatemalan dictator whose murderous regime decimated a large number of indigenous populations in the 1980s. According to a report from the United Nations, between 1960 and 1996 in Guatemala, “more than 200,000 died or were subjected to forced disappearance, over 80% from Mayan indigenous populations.”[viii] Furthermore, the commission found that “the state was responsible for systematic violence – including extrajudicial executions, forced disappearances, sexual violence, death squads, the denial of justice, and other crimes and violations.”[ix] In spite of the rampant violence that plagued Guatemala for more than 30 years, Abrams praised General Efrain Rios Montt’s regime as having “brought considerable progress” to the Guatemalan people, going so far as to urge Congress to consider funding his efforts.[x] Moreover, while Elliott Abrams was Assistant Secretary of State, 98 percent of Guatemalans who attempted to seek refuge in the United States were refused asylum and were forced to return to the war zones they once called home.

Looking to sound a lot like (delete xmas add Cuba)

this is it, ww3

makes sense.

Hmm, have to say I'm not sure about the account that tweeted this, I've seen him get quite a lot of stick from some in the Twitter 'News/Intel community' . . . saying he's a peddler of fake news. I've seen him make spectacular claims, hardly ever providing sources, and the claims turn out to be bogus.

But let's see if anyone else says anything else about the 5 bombers.

could be and a good scare of for the US ...

Actually, I think I was mistaken. Maybe your original source for this was someone different to who I was thinking.

Another 12-15 hours or so and we're at the 72 hour deadline Maduro gave for the US embassy staff to leave.

tick tock

Ron Paul . . .

Maduro has not shown any hint he’s ready to cede power. He called Guaido on Friday “an agent for the gringos in Venezuela,” using a sometimes derogatory term for Americans. But he also said that he would be willing to talk with U.S. President Donald Trump and the opposition.

Maduro called Guaido a "Gringo".

And Pompeo thinks he's a gweedo.

In mid-December, Guaido quietly traveled to Washington, Colombia and Brazil to brief officials on the opposition’s strategy of mass demonstrations to coincide with Maduro’s expected swearing-in for a second term on Jan. 10 in the face of widespread international condemnation, according to exiled former Caracas Mayor Antonio Ledezma, an ally.

a Secretary of State does not mispronounce a major political figure's name
unless he means to do so.

i think Pompeo is not on board with this whole Venezuela thing.

We are living in the most epic times not only modern but general history.

Chinese curse says “May he live in interesting times.”

It's all fun and games till someone loses an eye.
