Regime Change is Urgently Needed…in Washington

Andre Vltchek

I am surprised that no one else is saying it, writing it, shouting it at each and every corner: It is not Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Iran that are in dire and crucial need of ‘regime change’. It is the United States of America, it is the entire European Union; in fact, the entire West.

And the situation is urgent.

The West has gone mad; it has gone so to speak, bananas; mental. And people there are too scared to even say it, to write about it.

One country after another is falling, being destroyed, antagonized, humiliated, impoverished. Entire continents are treated as if they were inhabited by irresponsible toddlers, who are being chased and disciplined by sadistic adults, with rulers and belts in their hands yelling with maniacal expressions on their faces: “Behave, do as we say, or else!”

It all would be truly comical, if it weren’t so depressing. But… nobody is laughing. People are shaking, sweating, crying, begging, puking, but they are not chuckling.

I see it everywhere where I work: in Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East.

But why?

It is because North American and European countries are actually seriously delivering their ultimatum: you either obey us, and prostrate yourself in front of us, or we will break you, violate you, and if everything else fails, we will kill your leaders and all of those who are standing in our way.

This is not really funny, is it? Especially considering that it is being done to almost all the countries in what is called Latin America, to many African and Middle Eastern nations, and to various states on the Asian continent.

And it is all done ‘professionally’, with great sadistic craftsmanship and rituals. No one has yet withstood ‘regime change’ tactics, not even the once mighty Soviet Union, nor tremendous China, or proud and determined Afghanistan.

Cuba, Venezuela, DPRK and Syria may be the only countries that are still standing. They resisted and mobilized all their resources in order to survive; and they have survived, but at a tremendous price.

*

The victims keep crying. A few independent countries keep expressing their outrage. But so far, there is no grand coalition, which would be ready to fight and defend each other: “one for all, all for one”.

Until the recent ‘rebellion’ at the UN, no one has been openly and seriously suggesting that international law should apply to all nations of the world, equally.

People talk about ‘peace’. Many are begging the brigands to ‘to stop’, to ‘have mercy’, to show some compassion. But, neither Europe nor North America has ever shown any compassion, for long, terrible centuries. Look at the map of the beginning of the 20th century, for instance: the entire world was colonized, plundered and subjugated.

Now it is all moving in the same direction. If the West is not stopped, our planet may not survive at all. And let us be realistic: begging, logical arguments and goodwill will not stop Washington, Paris or London from plundering and enslaving.

Anyone who has at least some basic knowledge of world history knows that.

So why is the world still not forging some true resistance?

*

Is Venezuela going to be the last straw? And if not Venezuela, that is if Venezuela is allowed to fall, is it going to be Nicaragua, Cuba or Iran next? Is anything going to propel people into action?

Are we all just going to look passively how, the socialist Venezuela, a country which has already given so much to the world, Venezuela which managed to create beautiful visions and concepts for our humanity, is going to be burned to ashes, and then robbed of all of its dreams, its resources and of its freedom?

Are we all such cowards? Is this what we – human beings – have actually become; been reduced to? Cowards and cattle, selfish and submissive beings; slaves?

All this, simply because people are too scared to confront the empire? Because they prefer to hide and to pretend that what is so obvious, is actually not taking place?

Therefore, let me pronounce it, so at least my readers do not have that ‘luxury’ of claiming that they were not told:

This world is being brutalized and controlled by the fascist clique of Western nations. There is no ‘democracy’ left in this world, as there is near zero respect for international law in North American and European capitals. Colonialism has returned in full force. Western imperialism is now almost fully controlling the world.

And begging, trust me – begging and talking of peace is not going to help.

During WWII, fascism had to be stopped. If not, it was going to devour the entire planet. In the past, tens of millions have already died fighting for freedom and for our mankind. Yes, some nations tried to compromise and negotiate with Nazi Germany, but we all know where it all ended.

Now, the situation is the same. Or worse, perhaps much worse, because the West has nukes and a tremendous propaganda apparatus: it controls human brains all over the world with ‘mass media’, and ‘education’.

And because the citizens of the West are now much more brainwashed than the Germans and Italians were in the late 1930’s and early 1940’s; more brainwashed, more scared, submissive and more ‘disciplined’.

*

Look, seriously: are the people who are now writing those “peace essays”, in which they argue with the Western regime about who is right and who is wrong, seriously thinking that they are going to move people like Donald Trump, or Pompeo, or Abrams, or Rubio?

Do they believe that Washington is going to stop murdering millions of people all over the world? Or that the neo-colonialist plunder would stop, after the US Congress and Senate suddenly understands that it has been at the wrong side of history?

This is not some rhetorical question. I am serious: I demand answers!

Does ‘peace movement’ thinks that by amassing arguments it could stop Western expansionism? Yes or no?

Do they believe that Pompeo or Trump will suddenly hit their foreheads and exclaim: “You people are correct! We did not see this!” And call their troops, their thugs and mercenaries back?

If not, if this is not what peace movements believe would be done by North American and European leaders, then why all those thousands of wasted pages?

Would you go near a crocodile that is ready to devour an innocent child, and try to reason with it? Would you, seriously? Do you think it would stop, drop a few tears, wag its tail and leave?

*

Sometimes I tend to believe that ‘peace movements’ in the West are making things worse. They create false hopes, and they behave as if the empire is some entity that has a soul, and understands logic. They grossly underestimate the threat; the danger.

And they tend to analyze the Western threat from a Western perspective, using Western logic.

It somehow gets lost in interpretation that fascism, terror, and bestiality have to be confronted and fought.

One cannot negotiate with a group of countries which are already bathed in the blood of some 80% of the planet. If it was to happen, it would just be a mockery and it would simply humiliate everyone that is sincerely trying to stop the assassins.

*

Right now, Venezuela needs solidarity. It requires direct help, actions; not words. And so do many other countries.

Instead, it gets an endless avalanche of best wishes, as well as premature obituaries.

The Bolivarian Revolution has gotten plenty of colorful words. But what it urgently needs is volunteers, money, and internationalist brigades!

I know that billions of people all over the world are now cheering from their armchairs; in fact, doing absolutely nothing, while also spending zero. Their love for Venezuela is ‘platonic’.

I have just left Syria, where I was covering the Idlib war zone. There was not one single foreigner near me, during those days. Eva Bartlett and Vanessa Beeley usually work all over the toughest areas in Syria, but how many others do? And most of the time we work with near zero backing, just because we feel that it is our moral obligation to inform humanity.

I am wondering, how many foreigners are fighting for Venezuela, right now?

Who is going to face the Western spooks implanted into the Caracas and the Venezuelan borders with Colombia and Brazil? A few RT and TeleSur reporters, those true heroes, yes, but who else?

Only direct action can save Venezuela, and the world.

This is no time for debates.

This is worse, much worse than the late 1930’s.

The proverbial crocodile is here; its enormous ugly mouth open, ready to devour yet one more brilliant, proud country.

It is time to stick a big metal rod into its mouth. Now, immediately; before it gets too late.

Let us shout LONG LIVE VENEZUELA! But with our hands, muscles and purses, not just with our mouths.

And let us not be scared to declare: if anywhere, it is Washington where regime change is truly and urgently needed!

Trump is “Regime Change” and for millions of us gun owning Conservatives who have finally had enough of Democrat corruption and RINO carpetbaggers looking out for themselves – there will be no amount of anti-Constitutional change coming without blood. If you’re a Progressive Liberal Democrat who supports Globalism, Open Borders, Identity Politics and Social Justice … you best ask yourself if you’re willing to take a bullet to defend that shit.

So, either continue drinking your estrogen enriched soy products or find your fucking balls and get on the right side of history because there is no place for Progressive Liberalism in America.

Dude. You’ve been conned. When Trump went bankrupt in the 90’s it was Rothschild Incorporated that bailed him out. and if he wasn’t still their puppet today,, why would he have appointed a cabinet full of bankers and swamp monsters? Wilbur Ross is the very same Rothschild agent who negotiated his bail out. Ivanika used to date Nat Rothschild before she married Jarred. Besides, Besides, Hillary was one of the worst presidential candidates ever. Anyone who honestly believes the entire New World Order and all of their deep state operatives would put all their eggs in a basket that rotten is in serious need of a wake up call. And here is what the author i=of this article is missing too… regime change is exactly what the have planned, right after they invalidate both sides of the political system. So what’s gonna happen when US “humanitarian aid” makes it’s way… Read more »

Anyone who honestly believes the New World Order operatives would put all their eggs in a basket that rotten [ie, betting on Hilary without laying some eggs on Trump as well] is in serious need of a wake up call.”

That makes sense. The Clintons are only connected to branch offices: Goldman Sachs and the Oval Office; but the Trumps are wired in direct to Rothschild’s front office: Jerusalem.

It was built by the Rothschilds, but I’m sure that’s just a meaningless coincidence.

Milosevic, funny those pyramids popping up everywhere, on Rothschild’s fiat dollar bills and so on. So guess where the CRIF held a dinner to show off Rothschild’s latest puppet Micron. (Conseil Représentatif des Institutions Juives de France).

“CRIF has an interesting website. It turns out the venue of this dinner was the Carrousel du Louvre which has a massive pyramid as a skylight, an “important republican symbol” according to CRIF.”

A spiritual revival is underway. It will be more like a mass awakening. Though it is likely the case that the world needs to be shaken awake by some major event, (like a major financial/economic collapse or a global war or both).

Note that while I am trying my best to get this message out, I really need help. In the current editorial environment, even among the more “awakened” sectors of the media spectrum (like this one), editors are hesitant to even mention anything about what I discuss in this article.

Though they happily publish my secular work, they never touch anything of mine about God or Religion. I have written an open letter about this issue, To the Leaders of the Resistance, which I forwarded to the editors of this and many other alternative media organizations. I am still waiting for a response from any of them.

The Rothschilds have been telling anyone who will listen they are as poor as church mice for the past 50 years, while sitting atop a mountain of gold higher than Mount Everest. Their wealth is measured in the tens of trillions. They own countries and governments.

from the BBC article:

A cube made of 171,300 tonnes would be about 20.7m (68ft) on each side. Or to put it another way, it would reach to 9.8m above ground level if exactly covering Wimbledon Centre Court.

But not everyone agrees with the GFMS figures.

Estimates range from 155,244 tonnes, marginally less than the GFMS figure, to about 16 times that amount – 2.5 million tonnes.

That bigger figure would make a cube of sides 50m (166ft) long, or a column of gold towering 143m above Wimbledon centre court.

Maybe the 20m cube is just the 1/16 of the world gold supply that the Rothschilds DON’T own.

A spider under a magnifying glass looks like a monster.

What do the Rothschilds look like, under a magnifying glass?

Vindication is a tree that grows very slowly, bearing lots of fruits. But its fruits are tasting bitter – considering the consequences of what one is vindicated for/about. In my case, it is the awakening to the present gigantic Fascist clusterfuck of epic proportions. For three decades I have tirelessly written about the ‘progress’ towards a global authoritarian system, that resembles nothing short of the Borg. How ironic, that the one person who created modern ‘Space-Adventure’ by the ways of a strong crew – later including an Android with vastly superior intellectual capabilities compared to a Vulkan – predicted our present predicament so exquisitely fitting. If not in a deeply disturbing way. Before I chime in on the main aspect, allow me to cast a larger net. The one that incorporates the ‘collective Human Consciousness’.

nottheonly1 You make some good points. Consciousness is over-rated. Around 97% of what we do is unconscious. It is a simple survival mechanism that cuts down processing time, hence speeding reaction time; and limits the size of the brain we need; which limits the number of calories we need to consume. Unconscious action/reflexive behavioural reaction becomes and remains normative, if and when we do not examine our conceptual architecture that we acquired and are recursively acculturated to. The hegemonic normative behaviour is to accept what we learn or are told (from our ‘expert’ teachers – including parents …so malice is not necessarily entailed). But throughout, we retain a certain autonomy of choice and veto authority. Some call this ‘free will’. On account of the potentially conscious veto – I call it ‘free won’t’. The unconscious is not locked – even though it is not directly accessible. The thoughts and beliefs… Read more »

There’s another way of looking at all this. For aeons life has been miserable even shit for most people. We’ve always had death, disease, war and destruction. People now generally live much longer and have more food to eat, more toys to play with, more pastimes, so it’s generally less miserable than it used to be. Of course we all want better.

You can’t say that, it’s all relative.
In the 1800s, there was a proposal to close the US Patent Office, because everything had already been invented that could possibly be invented.
The people who built the Pyramids and Stonehenge were very sophisticated people. They thought they were pretty well top s*it. They didn’t spend their time moping around because they hadn’t got ipads and computers.
A few years ago people didn’t have these things either, and life didn’t seem empty or meaningless without them.
In 100 years time, if people are still around then, what we have now will seem unbelievably primitive to them.

In some ways people were probably less miserable than people today – they had spiritual beliefs and spiritual certainties that have largely been lost.

But paradoxically, things seem to be getting better for more and more people.

“For aeons, while the Earth has been spinning around, from the Laws of Nature, from death, disease, famine, war, and destruction have evolved beings most wonderful”. — Charles Darwin, Origin of the Species, Harvard Edition, valedictory paragraph.

People can’t risk losing their jobs by “rising up,” knowing there’s nothing to fall back on today. We can’t organize to push back because years of work went into successfully pitting us against each other by class, race, etc. And people have been pointing this out for the past quarter-century.

A rather old quote from Hannah Arendt taken from this article at GlobalResearch nicely sums up our current media situation: https://www.globalresearch.ca/democratic-assault-alternative-facts/5669879 “The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist.’ So to defend our democracy we need to analyse the assault on our shared reality by those who would seek to create a world of ‘alternative facts.” PS – Twitter has “revised” it’s internal research findings that identified several hundred “Russian bot” accounts back in 2017 – Twitter’s findings now better fit the “new narrative” and the new “alternative facts” world unfolding. Yes, you guessed it, Twitter now says those “Russian accounts were actually from “Venezuela.” LOL! Along with this announcement the Twitter spokesperson… Read more »

Corbyn became an MP in 1983. He stood for the Labour leadership in May 2015. UK press articles containing:

‘Jeremy Corbyn’ and ‘anti-semitism’ before 1 May 2015 = 18

‘Jeremy Corbyn’ and ‘anti-semitism’ after 1 May 2015 = 10,943

None of the 18 accused Corbyn of anti-semitism.

As is now becoming quite clear, the only effective response to the “anti-semitism” hysteria is to heavily promote the idea that “Jewish” is, above all else, a political category. A “Jew” is a person who engages in Jewish politics. What Jewish politics is, is on display every day in Palestine. It’s a nasty ethnic-supremacist cult, left over from the European Middle Ages. Given the prominent Jewish role in the international slave trade, in both mediaeval Europe and Middle East (compare “Slav” — those who are fit to be slaves), and early-modern trans-Atlantic capitalism, Jewism may even be the original form of racism. The Jews and Slavery Once people come to understand what Semitism really is, they will see that we actually need much more anti-Semitism, not less of it. Everything that has a beginning, has an end as well. Before the French Revolution, the Jewish people supported despotism against aristocracy,… Read more »

@ Milosevic. That is one polarised and air brushing piece you posted. All Christians are responsible for the cruelties their Christian sovereign imposed? All Muslims are born bad? All Jews are Zionist extremists and have bben playing the rest of the world since their inception in 589 BC? Most of those who became followers of Jesus were Jews who despised the wealthy entitled elitist Temple Priests so they were plotting against humankind all along?
If you are going to do a broad brush stroke attack against the Jewish people and if Shamir, doesn’t rethink his logic, then we are defeated before we have even begun to heal the world. Logic demands a conclusion, this argument Shamir puts forward doesn’t bear scrutiny because it is based on a faulty premise and downright racist.

@ Milosevic. I can’t agree with your statement regarding the Jewish faith. The Torah gave them the commandments and the Talmud, the means to share and explore the way in which they might live. People who identify themselves as Jewish (or Joos if you prefer) do not want their religion politicised any more than I would want Christians to allow Christ’s teachings to be politicised, hence the condemnation for the Spanish Inquisition and the Crusades. When Menachem Begin allied his Irgun terrorists with the Hagannah, Stern and Levi gangs, he was hijacking the Jewish Faith without any moral or ethical recourse and it was he and his kind who politicised a faith he did not himself identify with and used the word Jew to represent a unity among peoples which clearly was not party to his vile terrorist activities and the only unity true Jews have, is their acknowledgement of… Read more »

my standard question for “not all jews…” theorists, such as yourself:

Among people who self-identify as “Jewish” (surely the only relevant criterion), what are the relative proportions of zionists and anti-zionists?

Those who decline to answer such questions, or provide estimates far outside of the plausible range, thereby reveal themselves as either ethnic activists, or sabbat goyim.

Israel Shamir — It Is Not Only About Palestine Joachim Martillo wrote an important paper called Judonia Rising: The Israel Lobby and American Society, purporting to explain, “What the Israel Lobby Really Is”. He spoke with Stephen Walt, of Walt and Mearsheimer fame, he followed the discussions of Philip Weiss, he corresponded with Noam Chomsky and Joseph Massad, he had read Israel Shamir’s Pardes and James Petras, he knows MacDonald. An American scholar Martlllo has some Polish background, and he reads Yiddish and Polish, as well as some Hebrew. In his view, understanding the Israel Lobby can be based only on a thorough hardnosed (“non-exceptionalist”) analysis of Eastern European Jewish history. This is a heretical view, very close to ours. It is heretical, because the very far away border of permitted antizionist discourse still remains short of discussion: whether Jews did similar things before Zionism, or do we have a… Read more »

Zionist Terror and genocide have their roots in the Talmud.

“When a Jew murders a gentile, there will be no death penalty. What a Jew steals from a gentile, he may keep.” Sanhedrin, 57a.
“Jesus was sexually immoral and worshipped a brick.” Sanhedrin, 107b.
“The goyim are not humans. They are beasts.” Baba Mezia, 114b.
“If you eat with a goy, it is the same as eating with a dog.” Jebamoth, 94b.
“Even the best of the goyim should be killed.” Soferim, 15.
“Sexual intercourse between the goyim is like intercourse between animals.” Sanhedrin, 74b.

If you feel some reluctance to address this question, consider what “powerful forces” might have brought about that result. Consider whether you may have been involuntarily recruited as a sabbat goy, which is a traditional ethnic expression for “useful idiot”.

The king was growing old, so the Guardians gradually chose a successor. The people did not have to bother with democratic elections: thousands of years of experience had taught them to recognize an honest, competent, fun loving person when they met one among their neighbours or in council.

I just posted this on the Magic Socialist thread but it fits perfectly here: America’s self proclaimed role of world’s policeman which led it into world domination also made the economy reliant on war and weapons production, especially hi-tech weapons. I believe Russia’s S-400 system is the first one to displace American dominance and they don’t like it. However, they will spend their way back to dominance. There is no going back, it’s all or nothing and who happens to be president doesn’t matter. No one will dominate America militarily, we’ve got to wait till they implode economically…..and that will take the west with them.

And the RAF flew in Franco from exile to rally the Falangist forces. Internationalist brigades could not have saved Syria against our 500,000 well armed Jihadi mercenaries supported by the RAF, the USAF, the French Air Force, the 5-Eyes Air Force and the rest of NATZO.

Veneuzela also has militia forces at national, regional and local government levels, and I believe the total number of people in the Bolivarian militias number about 1.6 to 2 million.

While a US or Canadian-led attack might overthrow Maduro’s government, the full conquest of Venezuela will have to be hard hand-to-hand fighting, taking one community, one town, one city at a time – and the militias will make sure that foreign forces coming into the country will suffer enormously.

This is 100% spot on, explaining the reality.

Thinking in the West is based on a false or faulty premise – we are the good guys, them bad etc. I think it’s too late for us or peace campaigners to change this on our own. Maybe 15 -20 years ago there was a fighting chance with more unified ‘peace movements’. In present times many of the same people who were campaigning against the Iraq war are campaigning for regime change in Syria. ‘Peace movements’ no longer seem to raise much of a joined-up noise and with ‘covert war’ MO (in Syria) rather than ‘open war’ (Iraq) with a more controlled media – the public don’t see… Read more »
