Since Chavez took office in February 1999, Washington instigated political, economic and street violence destabilization schemes.
On February 4, right-wing manipulated anti-government student protests began in San Cristobal. They erupted elsewhere. They turned violent. Washington's dirty hands are involved.
At issue is destabilizing Venezuela. It's toppling its government. Washington tried it before. Chavistas foiled an April 2002 coup attempt.
A 64-day 2002 - 03 general strike and oil management lockout followed. It caused severe economic disruption.
An August 2004 national recall referendum failed. Chavez won overwhelmingly. Other disruptions occur regularly. They continue. Current ones are the latest. More on them below.

Obama heads an administration Murder, Inc. agenda. He appointed himself judge, jury and executioner.
He targets anyone, anywhere for any reason or none at all. US citizens are vulnerable like foreign nationals.
Murdering them in cold blood is one Obama signature away. Drones are his weapon of choice. They're instruments of state terror. They target alleged enemies half a world away or nearby.
Rule of law principles don't matter. Obama makes his own rules. Despots govern this way. He operates like the worst of them. He does so with technological ease.

Times editors find new ways to disgrace themselves. Since conflict erupted in March 2011, they wrongfully blamed Assad for Obama's war.
He's vilified for US-backed death squad atrocities. He's held responsible for terrorists blocking aid to hundreds of thousands of displaced or entrapped Syrians.
Times policy is consistent. It's outrageous. It points fingers the wrong way. It's standard practice.

America has 16 known intelligence agencies. James Clapper is Director of National Intelligence (DNI).
On January 29, he presented his annual worldwide threat assessment. He did so to Senate Select Committee on Intelligence members.
He lied calling terrorism "persistent threats to US interests overseas." None exist except ones America invents.
President Obama considering whether to order the Central Intelligence Agency to kill a U.S. citizen in Pakistan. Amazon would be an accessory to the assassination. Amazon has a $600 million contract with the CIA to provide the agency with “cloud” computing services aggregating data help agency do its work.

International, regional and internal players vying for interests, wealth, power or influence are all beneficiaries of the “al-Qaeda threat” in Iraq and in spite of their deadly and bloody competitions they agree only on two denominators, namely that the presence of the U.S.-installed and Iran–supported sectarian government in Baghdad and its sectarian al-Qaeda antithesis are the necessary casus belli for their proxy wars, which are tearing apart the social fabric of the Iraqi society, disintegrating the national unity of Iraq and bleeding its population to the last Iraqi.
The Iraqi people seem a passive player, paying in their blood for all this Machiavellian dirty politics. The war which the U.S. unleashed by its invasion of Iraq in 2003 undoubtedly continues and the bleeding of the Iraqi people continues as well.

On November 24, Iran and P5+1 countries agreed on nuclear Joint Plan of Action provisions. Interim agreement terms run six months.
On January 20, implementation began. Obama twice committed breaches. More on his latest one below.
America's agreements aren't worth the paper they're written on. US history proves it. It's strewn with broken promises. Betrayal is longstanding US policy.
Its word isn't its bond. Duplicity defines America. One treaty obligation after another is breached. Hegemons operate this way. Washington is by far the worst.

Since the beginning of human history we have witnessed so many genocidal murderers; kings, presidents, military leaders and political clergy, who called for, advocated and perpetrated genocidal crimes against whole nations. A thorough study of those criminals shows clearly that the worst genocidal murderers throughout history were mostly Jews.
One can clearly detect a Jewish genocidal characteristic in their leaders and their Rabbis since the beginning of their history starting with Moses along with other leaders and Rabbis such as Joshua, David, Samuel, Saul, Solomon, and others until present day Israeli leaders such as Ariel Sharon, Ovadia Yosef, Shimon Perez, Benjamin Netanyahu, Tzibi Livni, Ehud Barak and all the Israeli Prime Ministers and Rabbis since the establishment of Israel.

Talks resumed on Monday, February 10. Conflict resolution prospects are virtually nil. Washington bears full responsibility.
Obama wants war, not peace. He wants Assad's government toppled. In March 2011, he launched proxy war to oust him. So far he failed.
Syrian delegates arrived on Sunday. Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem heads them.
Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mikdad said talks will focus on Geneva I communique provisions. Top priority is ending terrorism.

Chief rabbis are most important. They have power. They impose customs and rituals. They enforce them. They alone decide who's a Jew and who's not.
They determine who's married, who's divorced, who may marry, who may not, and who may marry whom.
The decide which children are legitimate and which aren't. They have enormous influence over Israeli policy.
A civil judge "solemnly promise(s) to be loyal to the State of Israel and its laws." A rabbinic judge pledges only "to be loyal to the State of Israel."
Israel has two chief rabbis. Ashkenazi and Sephardi ones. They're elected to 10-year terms.
Israel's Chief Rabbinate Council assists them. They alternate as presidents of Israel's Rabbinical Supreme Court.
