In een
vergadering over de politiek ten aanzien van Venezuela heeft
Democratisch congreslid* Ilhan Omar het oorlogsmonster Abrams het vel
over de oren getrokken. Abrams is de oorlogsmisdadiger die is
aangesteld door de Trump administratie om de VS acties tegen de democratisch gekozen president van Venezuela te coördineren als speciaal gezant voor de VS…… 

Abrams is bekend van zijn bloedig acties tegen voormalige regeringen in Latijns-Amerika en het in stand houden van dictaturen die de VS welgevallig waren, zo is de schoft mede
verantwoordelijk voor een genocide in Guatemala en voorts in diverse Latijns-Amerikaanse landen: moord, verkrachtingen, martelingen en
ontvoeringen………

Lees en
zie (video) hoe Omar Abrams op een geweldige manier te kakken zet en
zie de smerige reacties van schoften die achter Abrams staan. Abrams
zou nu een mensenrechtenactivist zijn, althans als je het geteisem
moet geloven, dat dit gelul van een dronken aardbei is, blijkt wel
uit het feit dat de Trump administratie deze smerige schoft heeft
aangesteld om de coup in Venezuela in de juiste VS banen te leiden…….. 

Moet je nagaan, het voorgaande nadat de VS de laatste 10
jaar het volk van Venezuela steeds dieper in de ellende heeft
gestort met een smerige economische oorlog……..

Overigens
was Omar onlangs al in opspraak over haar uitlatingen t.a.v. AIPAC**

Congresswoman
Ilhan Omar Smacks Down Elliott Abrams in Front of Everybody

Written

(CJ Opinion) — Days
after being smashed with a vicious
establishment smear campaign to
paint her as an antisemite for accurately criticizing AIPAC,
Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is already back on the horse
aggressively disrupting the establishment
narrative matrix that
our rulers have worked so hard to construct for us.

Elliott
Abrams is a monster. The atrocities
that he has facilitated,
covered up and whitewashed in Panama, El
Salvador, Gaza, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Iraq are
utterly unforgivable, and the fact that he has been appointed
as special envoy to Venezuela by
the Trump administration completely invalidates the US government’s
Venezuela narrative all by itself. Even without the blatant
lies,
the known
oil agendas,
the CIA
ops,
the mounting
evidence of
US arms smuggling to right-wing militias, and America’s extensive
history of utterly disastrous regime change interventionism, the fact
that this administration would appoint such a ghoulish individual to
spearhead its Venezuela interventionism alone is
enough to show you that the US government has nothing but malevolent
intentions for that nation.

So
it was nice to see someone in that government calling him what he is
right to his face in front of everybody.

At
a House Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC) hearing on US Venezuela policy,
Abrams was
presented with
the only line of questioning that is appropriate for such a beast by
the very congresswoman the Democrats threw to the wolves just two
days ago. Someone had to do it, and they left it to Ilhan Omar.

“In
1991, you pleaded guilty to two counts of withholding information
from Congress regarding your involvement in the Iran-Contra affair,
for which you were later pardoned by President George H.W. Bush,”
Omar accurately stated. “I fail to understand why members of this
committee, or the American people should find any testimony that you
give today to be truthful.”

“If
I could respond to that-” Abrams began.

“That
wasn’t a question,” Omar responded, cutting him off.

“It
was an attack! It was an attack!” Abrams exclaimed, visibly upset.

“I
reserve the right to my time,” said Omar.

“It
is not right that members of this Committee can attack a witness who
is not permitted to reply,” Abrams said, talking over Omar.

“That
was not a question; thank you for your participation,” Omar
continued. “On February 8th, 1982, you testified before the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee about US foreign policy in El Salvador.
In that hearing, you dismissed as communist propaganda a report about
the massacre of El Mozote of which more than 800 civilians, including
children as young as two years old, were brutally murdered by
U.S.-trained troops. During that massacre, some of those troops
bragged about raping 12 year-old girls before they killed them. You
later said that the U.S. policy in El Salvador was a ‘fabulous
achievement.’ Yes or no, do you still think so?”

“From
the day that President Duarte was elected in a free election, to this
day, El Salvador has been a democracy,” Abrams said angrily.
“That’s a fabulous achievement.”

“Yes
or no, do you think that massacre was a fabulous achievement that
happened under our watch?” Omar asked.

“That
is a ridiculous question and I will not respond to it,” Abrams
replied. “I’m sorry Mr. Chairman, I am not going to respond to
that kind of personal attack which is not a question.”

“I
will take that as a yes,” Omar said. “Yes or no, would you
support an armed faction within Venezuela that engages in war crimes,
crimes against humanity, or genocide if you believe they were serving
US interests as you did in Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua?”

“I’m
not going to respond to that question,” Abrams again answered. “I’m
sorry, I don’t think this entire line of questioning is meant to be
real questions, and so I will not reply.”

“Whether
under your watch a genocide will take place, and you will look the
other way because American interests were being upheld is a fair
question,” Omar said. “Because the American people want to know
that any time we engage a country that we think about what our
actions could be and how we believe our values are being furthered.
That is my question: Will you make sure that human rights are not
violated and that we uphold international and human rights?”

“I
suppose there is a question in there, and the answer is that the
entire thrust of American policy in Venezuela is to support the
Venezuelan people’s effort to restore democracy to their country,”
Abrams responded. “That’s our policy.”

“I
don’t think anybody disputes that,” Omar said. “The question I
had for you is that does the interests of the United States include
protecting human rights and include protecting people against
genocide?”

“That
is always the
position of the United States,” Abrams lied.

“Thank
you,” concluded Omar. “I yield back the rest of my time.”

The Discourse Lover@Trillburne

It should be emphasized that the atrocities in Guatemala have been legally recognized as a genocide. This is tantamount to Holocaust denial.

Disgraceful ad hominem attacks by @IlhanMN on my @CFR_org colleague Elliott Abrams. She doesn’t seem to realize he is a leading advocate of human rights and democracy–not a promoter of genocide! More evidence of the loony left I caution Democrats about: https://wapo.st/2DBb8x3  https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1095777138328961024 …

There
is no legitimate reason for Elliott Abrams to ever find himself
before a group of people who are ostensibly concerned with
accountability and responsibility without being asked such questions.
But that didn’t stop all the world’s worst people from crawling
out of the woodwork to his defense.

“Disgraceful
ad hominem attacks by @IlhanMN on my @CFR_org colleague Elliott
Abrams,” tweeted Iraq-raping
neocon Max Boot. “She doesn’t seem to realize he is a leading
advocate of human rights and democracy — not a promoter of
genocide! More evidence of the loony left I caution Democrats about.”

I
worked for Elliott Abrams as a civil servant,” tweeted Kelly
Magsamen, Vice President of National Security for
the plutocrat-backed
liberal think tank Center
for American Progress (CAP). “He is a fierce advocate for human rights
and democracy. Yes, he made serious professional mistakes and was
held accountable. I’m a liberal but I’m also fair. We all have a
lot of work to do together in Venezuela. We share goals.”

“I
am not greatly sympathetic to Rep. Omar (surprise
surprise),” tweeted National
Review senior
editor and former George W Bush speech writer Jay Nordlinger. “But
really, someone ought to have given her a clue who Elliott Abrams is.
The guy has been championing freedom and human rights his entire life
(and taking unholy sh** for it from the illiberal Left and Right).”

Conservative
pundit Michael Knowles tossed his two cents into the campaign to
purge the concept of antisemitism of any meaning by tweeting,
“One wonders why @IlhanMN seems to harbor such particular contempt
for Elliott¹ Abrams² (¹ from the Hebrew ‘Elijah,’ meaning ‘My
God is Yahweh’ ² the father of the Jewish people).”

This
is the bipartisan establishment orthodoxy that is guiding your
foreign policy, America. One which claims Elliott Abrams is a saint,
which claims criticism of US warmongering is antisemitic, and which
throws a bold Somali-American woman under the bus for speaking the
truth after years of paying lip service to the need to get more women
of color elected to the leadership of the Democratic Party. This
whole Abrams incident happened, by the way, at the same time Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu deleted
a tweet in
which he accidentally acknowledged the agenda to start a war with
Iran, but you probably won’t see Omar commenting on this because
she knows she’ll be smeared as an antisemite for it.

US
warmongering is the most aggressively protected part of the
establishment narrative matrix, because US warmongering is the glue
that holds the unipolar empire together. Without it, our rulers
cannot rule, so you’ll see imperial lackeys fiercely attacking
anyone who draws attention to America’s bloodbaths around the
world, even if they are good servants of the empire in other areas.

The
difficulty for our rulers, though, is that warmongering is a very
difficult thing to paint a pretty picture of, especially with our
newfound ability to quickly share ideas and information around the
globe. I mean, look at Elliott Abrams. Seriously, just watch
him talk.
That demonic grimace is the prettiest face they could find to put on
their Venezuela agenda. I find that very encouraging.

The
reason they work so hard to manufacture our consent for warmongering
agendas is because they need that
consent. They wouldn’t propagandize us so aggressively if they
didn’t need us all trusting them and believing their stories, so
the best way to fight establishment warmongering is to circulate
disbelief in their stories. Whenever you see someone like Ilhan Omar
drawing attention to the gaping plot holes in agendas like regime
change interventionism in Venezuela, go ahead and help draw attention
to it.

Things
are only shitty because a few extremely powerful people do very
shitty things. The only reason powerful people get away with doing
very shitty things is because the majority allows them to. The
majority only allows them to because they’ve been propagandized to.
The weakest link in this chain is the propaganda. Attack there.
