   The Empire is on its final onslaught against all independent nations that are   
   standing in its way to absolute hegemony and control of the world.   
      
   The Latest Piece Of Deadly Imperialist rCyMosaic Of TerrorrCO   
   I have dedicated the last two years to writing and making films about those   
   countries that are clearly on the detectable rCyhit listrCO compiled by the   
   neo-colonialist masters in Washington, Paris, and London.   
      
   The list is long and diverse: Russia and China, North Korea, Eritrea, Zimbabwe,   
   South Africa, Iran, Syria, Thailand, Egypt, and of course Venezuela, Cuba,   
   Ecuador, Argentina, even Brazil.   
      
   The tactics on how to destabilize each particular nation do vary, and so does   
   the intensity of attacks. But essentially, every country that dares to insist   
   on its own independent course, on feeding and improving the lives of its own   
   people, has been facing great danger.   
      
   I wrote an entire book on the topic: rCLFighting Against Western   
   ImperialismrCY, and there is one, a much longer one, coming up soon, called   
   rCLExposing Lies of the EmpirerCY.   
      
   I wrote about the crimes committed by the Empire against Cuba and Venezuela,   
   and I made a film for TeleSur, on how the West rCyderailedrCO the Arab Spring   
   in Egypt. I investigated the WestrCOs support for the Thai monarchy, military   
   and elites, and I studied the brainwashing process that led to the recent   
   anti-Chinese rCLUmbrella RevolutionrCY in Hong Kong. I visited North Korea and   
   Eritrea, two countries that the West boxed into corners, and then isolated,   
   sanctioned and demonized. I drove through the entire Ukraine, last year, and   
   what I witnessed was a confused and totally derailed country, being provoked   
   and pushed into absolute disaster by external forces, coming from the West. And   
   I analyzed the rCysofterrCO outside pressures, those trying to overthrow the   
   attempts to build socialism in Zimbabwe and South Africa.   
      
   In all the above-mentioned countries, the West in general and the US in   
   particular, got extremely busy manufacturing, even mass-producing rCyopposition   
   movementsrCO.   
      
   In some cases, where rCyeverything else failedrCO and nations refused to   
   succumb to Western banditry and terror, direct force was used, and millions of   
   lives were destroyed or ended, as happened in Syria, Libya and now again in   
   Iraq.   
      
   Just two months ago I stood only 6 kilometers from Mosul in Iraq, at the   
   rCyborderrCO between ISIS and the so-called Iraqi Kurdistan. The US aerial   
   bombardment and its drones destroyed the villages that were surrounding me.   
   ISIS, that was holding their positions just one or two kilometers in ahead of   
   me, had been created, trained and armed by NATO: in so-called rCycamps for   
   Syrian refugeesrCO, set up in both Turkey and Jordan. I reported on this for   
   more than 2 years, for almost all the alternative media.   
      
   Every rCyopposition movementrCO, NGO or fragment of rCycivil societyrCO that   
   the West has been creating, in order to destabilize and ruin rCyrebelliousrCO   
   and independent-minded countries, is labeled as rCypro-democraticrCO.   
      
   In reality, these movements have consisted mostly of well-paid, treasonous   
   elements, staffed with mercenaries and traitors.   
      
   But the rCymass productionrCO of such elements and rCyopposition movementsrCO,   
   at some point began backfiring. It is because not all people are for sale! It   
   is because in some countries, like Venezuela and Cuba, the majority of citizens   
   soon realized what is really going on!   
      
   In Cuba and Venezuela, patriotism and revolutionary zeal, as well as dignity,   
   has so far managed to defeat foreign interventions. rCyPatria no se vende!rCO   
      
   Which does not mean that the danger is over!   
      
   The Empire is getting truly desperate. It is well aware that it is now rapidly   
   losing support, all over the world, and that if Venezuela and Cuba, China and   
   Russia and other independent-minded countries were to manage to prevail and   
   defend their course, its brutal force will not be able to scare the world into   
   submission for much longer!   
      
   Our media, Telesur and RT, Press TV, CCTV and other truly anti-imperialist   
   networks, are now inspiring hundreds of millions of people worldwide. We are   
   fighting a true and epic war on the airwaves, in printed media, and on-line. It   
   is the Great Media War that we are fighting, against disinformation and   
   propaganda - a war, which had been launched against the people of the world   
   decades and centuries ago by the Western colonialist, imperialist and corporate   
   media. And we are winning! The voices of freedom and revolution are being heard   
   on all continents.   
      
   The Empire and millions of its agents are well aware of what is happening. Our   
   optimism and revolutionary enthusiasm is much more attractive than the   
   EmpirerCOs dark nihilism! And because the West is not able to imagine its   
   existence without controlling the planet, it sees the war against true freedom,   
   social justice and internationalism, as rCythe war for its survivalrCO.   
      
   For us, it is a war for survival, too! Not because we want to control (we   
   donrCOt!), but simply because we want to live! We want to live our own lives,   
   in our own political, economic and social systems, as free people.

   The latest imported coup-attempt against Venezuela had failed; the latest   
   crusade, a spark from the rCyMonroe DoctrinerCO.   
      
   Now we have to provide details, including the most appalling ones, and shame   
   the US, which is obviously behind this heinous act. We have to approach the UN   
   and international courts. Yes, they are morally corrupt and they are siding   
   with the perpetrators, not with the victims; they defend the interests of   
   Western powers. But we should still do it, as a matter of principle; at least   
   we should try.   
      
   This is also the time to show solidarity. The entire Latin America has to unite   
   in condemning this attempted coup. It is actually doing it, through UNASUR, and   
   on a State-by-State basis.   
      
   But this is still not enough!   
      
   The United States, or any other nation that interferes so arrogantly in the   
   affairs of another independent country, should face consequences. Sanctions   
   should be imposed! It is not unrealistic. If not through the UN, then they   
   should be imposed through UNASUR.   
      
   Unless such acts of terror get punished, nothing will ever change. And   
   therefore, we have to find a way how to punish them.   
      
   The West may be leading its latest grand onslaught against the rest of the   
   world, but if united, this world cannot and will not be defeated.   
      
   And Venezuela, one of the leaders of the truly free world, cannot and will not   
   be allowed to fall!
