Pompeo Demands Moscow “Cease Unconstructive Behavior” In Venezuela
By Tyler Durden – Zero Hedge – 03/25/2019
As we predicted a number of times before, a proxy war between Russia and the United States appears now heating up in Venezuela — this after over the weekend Russia sent a military transport plane filled with Russian troops commanded by First Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Land Forces of Russia Gen. Vasily Tonkoshkurov, which landed in Caracas Saturday. We also reported the major development this morning that new satellite images reveal a major deployment of S-300 air defense missile systems to a key airbase south of Caracas.
Russia’s highly visible deployment of a small troop contingency along with a reported 35 tons of cargo has resulted in a direct and firm response from Washington as on Monday morning the US Secretary of State called on Russia to “cease its unconstructive behavior”.
According to Reuters Pompeo conveyed the message directly via a phone call with his Russian counterpart Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Spokesman Robert Palladino addressed the phone call in the following statement:
The secretary told Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov that the United States and regional countries will not stand idly by as Russia exacerbates tensions in Venezuela.
Palladino added that Pompeo specifically condemned Russian military support for the “illegitimate regime of Nicolas Maduro.”
Pompeo had earlier this month vowed to continue to put “unconstrained” pressure on the Maduro regime after it became apparent that all internal coup attempts by the Juan Guaido-led opposition had failed.
As we reported previously this week’s tensions follows a high-level meeting in Rome last week, during which Russia reiterated a grave warning to the US – Moscow will not tolerate American military intervention to topple the Venezuelan government with whom it is allied – thus it appears Russia is taking no chances with its South American ally.
One of those warnings delivered directly by Russia’s deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov to US “special envoy” on Venezuelan affairs Elliot Abrams is understood to have been that no American military intervention in Venezuela will be tolerated by Moscow.
Perhaps paralleling the Syria situation, this could be the start of a scenario where the greater the proxy action and threats from the United States, the more Russia will slowly intervene at the behest of Maduro.
All of these developments signalling closer Russian-Venezuelan military-to-military cooperation in the face of Washington saber rattling come after three months ago the two allies held military exercises on Venezuelan soil, which the US at the time had condemned as Russia encroachment in the region.

Uncovering CIA-funded experiments on children in Europe during the cold war
Was the CIA involved in sponsoring West German pedophilic foster homes overseen by the Social Democratic Party?
By Kit Klarenberg – The Dissenter – January 31, 2022
On January 26, The Dissenter covered how the CIA funded unethical experiments on Danish orphans for at least two decades from the early 1960s onwards.
These grim trials were conducted as part of the mind control program MKULTRA, which was secretly farmed out overseas as it wound down in the United States due to the threat of exposure.
A 1963 CIA Inspector General report shows that the expansion worldwide had unfolded for some time.
“It does not follow termination of covert testing of MKULTRA materials on unwitting U.S. citizens will bring the program to a halt. Some testing on foreign nationals has been occurring under the present arrangements,” the document stated. “Various U.S. deep cover agents overseas would appear to be more favorably situated than the U.S. narcotics agents to perform realistic testing.”
As such, it’s reasonable—and indeed vital—to ask, where else in the world did the CIA support unethical human experiments on vulnerable and defenseless youths?
West Germany, the country forged in May 1949 from the military occupation zones of the U.S., United Kingdom, and France, could be one place where the mind control program expanded. … continue

Pot calls the kettle black.
Instructive is the study of Clowns In Action during the Chavez period of Venezuela. Likely that those who have lived through the past 30 years realize the US leadership (Pompeo, State Department) is on the wrong side of reality. One can hope that this posturing by US spokespeople is as violent as this gets.
Be on alert for false flags and other control dramas which the cheaters use as a staple of their conquests. A tityphoon here, a mass shooting in a house of worship there … you know what they use to dominate “the news”.
Did we read today/hear/watch in MSM anything about the lawsuit filed today by Lawyers against the FBI to get court order for the FBI to revisit controlled demolition and high-fivers (dancing Israelis) who were arrested?

Does Pompeo fail to realize that the Russians were watching when the USA deposed Hugo Chavez…..and then the Venezuelan people rallied behind Chavez and liberated him, to become President Chavez again, and then the CIA ‘eliminated’ Chavez…..to be replaced by Mr Maduro in a properly conducted election process?
The Russians know exactly what is going on in Venezuela, but the USA is still playing silly games, hoping to get their Man Guiado, into power.
The Russians are not stupid, but the American attempts at another Coup d’état in Venezuela is as ridiculous as it appears to be, but the American government just looks ridiculous, in the eye’s of the World.
The Three Stooges could run the USA better than this current government.
