Yes it was a staged event - the attempted coup in Venezuela.

But I wonder if this is really a lot more like the another failed attempt at doing things by the CIA? Different goals, but the same result a (in my opinion) deliberate failure designed for further ulterior motives.

In the former, it's would be the Deep State trying to force Trump into a military conflict in Valenzuela.

In the latter, it was to rid themselves of Carter.

Smelling good.

All my life, no matter how much I bathe and keep myself clean - I never have had that clean smell.

Sure I shower. I scrub. I keep all areas free and clear and all that.

Same thing with our laundry. That is, no matter what detergent or fabric softener we use, somehow our clothes never have that fresh clean smell others have.

Some people on the other hand do. They smell like they just emerged from the shower completely pristine and fresh.

I used to think it was me; that I was some sort of slob, but the Mrs. has the same issue and she's as white as the background of this draft post.

Saw this in a park my family frequents

Seriously, are people in authority in this city this stupid?

The two landmark court cases, and subsequent investigations have resulted in accusations by victims, scientists, and media that, to promote the sale of glyphosate, Monsanto suppressed evidence, manipulated lab results, bullied and harassed scientists, undermined international regulators and manipulated public opinion. Internal documents obtained by the courts now suggest that Monsanto marketed Roundup as “safe,” knowing full well that it was a likely carcinogen.

Assholes who would run pedestrians over if you're not careful.

Here are two -

In the case of the first one, it was some middle-aged white woman on her phone who basically ignored my whole family and drove right through an intersection.

The 2nd one was a young white guy who just blazed through the intersection even though the walk signal was active. You can see my shadow catching a photo. Sadly I was a little early on the shot and didn't get his license. What's funny is just a few moments before, I was almost hit by a beige delivery truck who basically did the same thing, but on another corner of the intersection.

The failed coup that the Establishment Media doesn't want to acknowledge.

After barely 12 hours, the most recent coup attempt appeared to have failed under the weight of its own unpopularity. According to the New York Times (4/30/19), Guaidó failed to attract meaningful support from the military, his co-conspirator Leopoldo Lopez had sought refuge first in the Chilean then in the Spanish embassy, and 25 of his paramilitaries had done the same in the Brazilian one. Guaidó did not win over the Venezuelan majority, who had previously chased his motorcade out of a working class district when he tried to enter. Ordinary Venezuelans continued their lives, or even rushed to the defense of the government. As USA Today (5/1/19) summed up:

Guaidó called it the moment for Venezuelans to reclaim their democracy once and for all. But as the hours dragged on, he stood alone on a highway overpass with the same small cadre of soldiers with whom he launched a bold effort to spark a military uprising.

It appears that the main base of support for the coup was the US government…and the media. The press’s extraordinary complicity, lining up with the State Department’s version of the world in the face of empirical evidence, highlights the worrying closeness between media and government. When it comes to foreign policy, there is often no difference between deep state and fourth estate.

Another victory against Monsanto, but somehow I don't feel good about it - why?

Answer: It's everywhere -

Glyphosate is the base chemical component for some 750 different brands of pesticides worldwide, in addition to Monsanto-Bayer’s Roundup. Glyphosate residues have been found in tap water, orange juice, children’s urine, breast milk, chips, snacks, beer, wine, cereals, eggs, oatmeal, wheat products, and most conventional foods tested. It’s everywhere, in brief.

What a novel idea - “8 hours for work, 8 hours for rest, 8 hours for what you will.”
