@StateDept
intends to designate Cartel de los Soles as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). Headed by the illegitimate Nicolás Maduro, the group has corrupted the institutions of government in Venezuela and is responsible for terrorist violence conducted by and with other designated FTOs as well as for trafficking drugs into the United States and Europe.
A potential prelude to military action against Venezuela—even though the FTO designation as such confers no authority to use force.
(And this supposed cartel may not even exist.)
A regime change campaign in the guise of counterterrorism.

Der konservative Anti-Mamdani-Diskurs ist einer der krassesten Fälle von Islamophobie, die ich erlebt habe. Ein Politiker wird nur aufgrund seiner Herkunft immer wieder als Islamist dargestellt, obwohl er ganz andere Ansichten vertritt.

Chartbook 407: Polycrisis revisited: Are we beyond Neoliberal Order Breakdown Syndrome?
Back in 2022 I coined the phrase polycrisis as one with which to describe the conjuncture.
“After all, crises have two possible endings. In one, the patient recovers. In the other, the patient is dead.”
