I’d like to point out an interesting phenomenon. In this post Gen Flynn uses the fact that he’s filed whistleblower cases against USAID which implies he knows it’s been involved n nefarious activities. I’ve personally heard him acknowledge the same about NED. He also agrees and understands that the CIA, which works with both of these orgs is a shadow government. Having acknowledged all of that, when presented with someone who worked to overthrow the VZ government using the CIA’s, USAID, and NED he tells me to stop bullshitting my audience bc I mention those FACTS. Why? What I’ve noticed is it’s really difficult to address certain aspects of CIA activities when you agree with the end result but not the methods. So if you agree with all the CIA/media talking points about Chavez then when the CIA attempts to get rid of him, it’s easier to ignore all the organizations that are being trained and funded to overthrow the targets government. The major problem with that is it’s not principled based and it is a very slippery slope. Imagine sitting in a country that has been coup’d by the CIA a couple of times by the CIA and suddenly discover you have oil. You are floating in billions of dollars and decide it’s revenge time. You start funding a plethora of far left groups to overthrow Trump bc you want to maintain the status quo now that you’re a member of the high table club. The tolerance for the US intelligence agencies to overthrow foreign governments should be zero. My pointing out that you are actively supporting Machado calling her a hero when her organization in furtherance of a CIA/USAID funded coup that killed Venezuelans doesn’t make it bullshit bc you either don’t know it or are willing to overlook it. What is bullshit though, is that instead of taking 5 mins and checking the facts you call facts bullshit and say I’m misleading my “followers”. I don’t have followers. We’re a team of researchers that have spent the last several years revealing hidden truths that most Americans don’t know and that members of the intelligence community hid and continue to hide. You’ve followed me for a long time and the only time you’ve ever engaged is to basically accuse me of lying about something which is well documented. I’ve consistently defended you against the lies that have been spread, I’ve attended your event in DC and several in Florida including your movie. @realdefender45 has done a video of my work. Below I will hit the high points and I expect an apology for the accusation that I engage in “BS”. Machado’s Súmate received U.S. (NED and USAID) support starting in 2003, with continuity of engagement with the U.S. democracy-promotion apparatus through the 2019 Guaidó episode and later periods. Machado and Alejandro Plaz founded Súmate in 2002 as a civil society entity. It organized signature collection for the 2004 recall referendum against Hugo Chávez (which Chávez won), including an exit poll that predicted a different outcome and was disputed by observers such as the Carter Center. •NED Grant No. 2003-548.0 ($53,400, September 2003–September 2004) to Súmate for “Elections Education” / voter training related to the referendum. Machado signed as a board officer (vice president). •A 2005 WikiLeaks cable records Súmate leaders (including Machado) telling a U.S. congressional delegation they had received roughly $31k (NED) + $53k (USAID) and intended to continue seeking such support. • NED grants were reported in various accounts (tens of thousands more in subsequent years). Súmate publicly stated that the large majority of its funding (it cited ~93.7% through the mid-2000s) came from domestic Venezuelan sources, with the foreign portion limited and including NED, Konrad Adenauer, and Canadian Embassy support. This was not true. Continued 👇🏻
