The Progressive Ministry of Signs was busy this weekend. Since it was a nice weekend in many places, with some suitably spicy US action taking place, everyone was out holding theirs up and chanting. Many 'earnest' protesters were strangely wrapped in perfectly folded and knotted keffiyehs.
Hey! It was chilly!
Right.
It never ceases to amaze me how the well-funded American Left can whip up identical printed signs and national flags - in the big cities, they even get banners - for countrywide protests at the drop of a hat.
So let me get this straight…

9 months ago - Ukrainian flags.
8 months ago - Palestinian flags
7 months ago - Mexican flags.
6 months ago - Iranian flags.
Now - Venezuelan flags.
What is happening?!!!

It's almost like someone at a really high level is organizing these 'spontaneous' and 'grassroots' protests, you know?
(Do I sound too cynical?)
I mean, from New York City (of COURSE), where the keffiyeh-swathed marchers had Venezuelan accents that assaulted your ears.
I'm lying - every one of these miserable, snarling clowns sounds like Archie Bunker and Edith.
Thousands of New Yorkers marched Saturday to protest US strikes on Venezuela and the capture of President Nicolás Maduro.

Even little old Pensacola, which, sad to say, has its own gruesome underground of nasty Gollum-like anarchist LARPers who pop onto street corners or disrupt functions for any subversive and subhuman reason at the drop of a hat.
There they were, skinny, pasty-faced little dweebs screaming away on the corner as hubs and I came down Palafox early Saturday afternoon - every last non-Venezuelan one of them. All holding those exact same spontaneous signs.

Fox News was reporting that over sixty-five cities, within hours of the news breaking, had these spontaneous, passionate eruptions defending a murderous dictator, complete with waving Palestinian flags.
No, that's not a typo.

Asra Nomani, senior investigation editor for Fox News, has been rocking it out of the park on her dig into how these 'spontaneous' demonstrations happened. They're not at all, as you already knew, but she proves it.
🧵 Who organized and funded the pro-Maduro demonstrations?

I was up when the news broke that U.S. forces had possibly had a military strike on Caracas. Immediately, I knew where to look next, not for confirmation from the Pentagon, but for signals.

She also gets to the meat of just how menacing and dangerous the core which is organizing these things is.
As the U.S. military carried out a daring operation to capture Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro, a second front opened up within minutes in the United States: an information warfare, psychological and propaganda operation run by a hardened cell of self-described Marxist, socialist and communist leaders.
For years, this cell has fomented anti-American hate in the U.S. under the cover of "anti-war" protests, rallying activists after the 9/11 attacks to condemn the U.S. response, appropriating "anti-racism" protests after the 2020 killing of George Floyd, marching with Antifa agitators, organizing antisemitic campus encampments after the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel by Hamas and activating "working-class Americans" to support Maduro and his regime in a war against "U.S. imperialism."
A Fox News Digital analysis of their minute-by-minute moves overnight reveals how this network activated a coordinated ideological and information warfare campaign, moving through digital social media channels with quickly produced posters to mobilize foot soldiers to the streets for an "EMERGENCY DAY OF ACTION" in New York City; Washington, D.C.; and an estimated 100 other cities, moving with the speed and discipline of an organized military operation.
In her piece, she runs through the entire sequence of how this malignant group of international, virulent anti-American Marxists swung into action in the middle of the night, within minutes of the first video of the raid into Caracas appearing on social media.
From the history of the Castro and Maduro links within the groups to what happened once the information and talking points were disseminated to American socialist politicians...
...By daylight Saturday morning, at 8:49 a.m., CodePink invoked a slogan used last year as a theme in anti-Trump protests, declaring, "HANDS OFF VENEZUELA," and issuing a statement dismissing criminal proceedings against Maduro as a "sham" prosecution.
By 8:57 a.m., the Democratic Socialists of America, which just saw its star politician, Zohran Mamdani, inaugurated as mayor of New York City, shared a message from U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a member of the organization, condemning the U.S. strike as "illegal."
At 10:29 a.m., Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, another member of the Democratic Socialists of America, chimed in, saying, "It’s about oil and regime change."
On cue, at 1:06 p.m, Mamdani repeated the refrain established overnight by the socialist network that brought him to the mayor’s office in New York City, blasting the U.S. for the "military capture" of Maduro, calling it an "act of war" and "blatant pursuit of regime change."
The talking points of politicians, activist groups and foot soldiers in the socialist, communist and Marxist network in the U.S. echoed the statements that the two strongest communist powers in the world expressed about their ally, Maduro. China issued a statement saying it opposed the "blatant use of force" by the U.S. in Venezuela. Russia called the news an "act of aggression" against Venezuela.
By afternoon, within 12 hours of first hearing about the military operation in Caracas, the pro-Maduro network started churning out fast clips of its information war on the Trump administration.
...it is a damning, documented indictment of these groups and individuals.
Destabilizing the United States is a transnational effort.

My personal photos were too blurry, taken from a moving car, but screen capture snippets of the Pensacola New Journal's pictures of the little group of pathetic virtue-signaling losers prove that this umbrella socialist party is exactly who they got their signs from.
PARTY FOR SOCIALISM AND LIBERATION - PSL
Such cute kids, huh?
A malignant combination cabal of black radicals, aka African revolutionaries, socialists, and Communists, is employing performance rage-art theater useful tools who cannot connect the 'socialism' on their sign with the ruin that is Venezuela or any other cause they're called to protest for/against on a Saturday morning.
...The newest overnight campaign to support Maduro will likely send foot soldiers into the streets to support Maduro and his wife during any trials they face, not just as an expression of protest but as a continued campaign of information warfare on the domestic front.
Experts say the network that spent decades legitimizing and defending communist regimes abroad and now functions as a rapid-response influence force inside the United States is a new threat matrix that amounts to something the FBI and intelligence agencies investigate as malign foreign influence.
Its members operate as ideological foot soldiers, advancing a foreign-aligned narrative during moments of conflict, seeking to fracture public consensus, delegitimize U.S. action and apply pressure from within.
Whatever flags fly, or whatever slogan is on the sign for the weekend, the real target is this country.
