Venezuela says it would make sense for US to restore ties
Press TV – September 19, 2019
Venezuela says it would make sense for the United States to restore diplomatic ties with the elected government in Caracas as Washington has failed to install an opposition figure as Venezuela’s leader.
Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez told reporters in Caracas on Wednesday that it would be reasonable for the US “to restore diplomatic contacts and dialog with the government” of President Nicolas Maduro.
Washington is left with “a single path,” having failed to remove Maduro from power, and that is “negotiation and diplomatic communication,” Rodriguez said.
In January, obscure opposition figure Juan Guaido unilaterally declared himself the “interim president” of Venezuela, winning the recognition of Washington.
Later, he attempted an abortive coup against Maduro’s government, again with support from the United States.
However, even the opposition groups that had sided with Guaido have been breaking ranks with him, joining talks that the government has opened to resolve differences peacefully.
On Monday, the representatives of several opposition parties concluded an agreement with Maduro’s top aides, including Rodriguez.
Meanwhile, an increasingly isolated Guaido has ruled out continuing talks with the government that Norway has been brokering.
Venezuela broke off relations with the US after Washington recognized Guaido as “interim president” on January 23.
The US has imposed several rounds of sanctions on Venezuela, confiscated its state oil assets based in the US, channeled revenue from them to Guaido, and has hinted at the use of force to remove Maduro.

Climate Science: Is it Currently Designed to Answer Questions?
By Prof. Richard S. Lindzen | Global Research | September 22, 2014
Program in Atmospheres, Oceans and Climate. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Global Research 30 November 2009
Abstract
For a variety of inter-related cultural, organizational, and political reasons, progress in climate science and the actual solution of scientific problems in this field have moved at a much slower rate than would normally be possible.
Not all these factors are unique to climate science, but the heavy influence of politics has served to amplify the role of the other factors. By cultural factors, I primarily refer to the change in the scientific paradigm from a dialectic opposition between theory and observation to an emphasis on simulation and observational programs. The latter serves to almost eliminate the dialectical focus of the former.
Whereas the former had the potential for convergence, the latter is much less effective. The institutional factor has many components. One is the inordinate growth of administration in universities and the consequent increase in importance of grant overhead. This leads to an emphasis on large programs that never end. Another is the hierarchical nature of formal scientific organizations whereby a small executive council can speak on behalf of thousands of scientists as well as govern the distribution of ‘carrots and sticks’ whereby reputations are made and broken. The above factors are all amplified by the need for government funding.
When an issue becomes a vital part of a political agenda, as is the case with climate, then the politically desired position becomes a goal rather than a consequence of scientific research. This paper will deal with the origin of the cultural changes and with specific examples of the operation and interaction of these factors. In particular, we will show how political bodies act to control scientific institutions, how scientists adjust both data and even theory to accommodate politically correct positions, and how opposition to these positions is disposed of. … continue

The only “sense” that counts in this nonsensical world is Trumpsense. Trump, his base and those using his vainglorious personality flaws and myriad other disorders for their own opportunistic, malign purposes have caused the world to be in grave danger. Venezuela is one flashpoint; Cuba another; Palestine is always the ultimate flashpoint. Too bad that I and most sane earth residents are reduced to open-mouthed, disbelieving observer status and anguish at “what’s next?”
Yes, by all means: let us help Venezuela for a change rather than Trump-Bolton-Abrams-Pompeo-style berate it, sanction it, and push it deeper into immiseration. Let us stop being fools and scofflaws of the first magnitude.

Mr Maduro should be very careful when it comes to the USA. He will be very aware of what happened to his predecessor Hugo Chavez who was ousted in a Coup, he was released from Jail by the Venezuelan people and restored to power, but, mysteriously died of Cancer. It is fair to say in the circumstances that he was killed by CIA Jackals.
The Guaido Coup failed dismally, but, when Coups fail the alternative is “Removal by Jackals(of the CIA).
The CIA doesn’t give up easily, when it wants another Nations Resources……..

What an excellent observation/question! I guess I might sarcastically add: We have no problem with (gasp!) socialism right here in the good ol’ ‘homeland’…as long as it benefits the “right” “elite” users of it and as long as the word itself is never uttered.
