Introduction: The Financial Times editorial page carries a logo that proclaims: “Without fear and without favour”. Indeed the editors have shown no fear when it comes to. . . fabricating lies, promoting imperial wars decimating countries and impoverishing millions, whether in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and now Venezuela. The fearless “Lies of Our Times” have been at the forefront forging pretexts for inciting imperial armies to crush independent governments.
Despite its pretentious scribblers and prestigious claims, the FT is seen by the Anglo-American financial class as a belligerent purveyor of militarist policies designed for the most retrograde sectors of the ruling elite.
What is most striking about the FT fearless fabrications on behalf of imperial militarism is how often their political and economic prognostications have been incompetent and flat out wrong.
For the past ten years, the FT editorial pages have described China in economic crisis and heading for a fall, while in reality, the Chinese economy has grown at between eight and six percent a year.
For over a decade and a half, the FT editors claimed Russia under President Vladimir Putin presented an international existential threat to ‘the West’. In fact, it was the ‘Western’ armies of NATO, which expanded military operations to the borders of Russia, the US, which financed a neo-fascist coup in Kiev and the US-EU which promoted an Islamist uprising in Syria designed to totally undermine Russia’s influence and relations in the Middle East.
The FT’s economic gurus and its leading columnists prescribed the very catastrophic deregulatory formulas which precipitated the financial crash of 2008-09, after which they played the clownish role of “Mickey the Dunce” – blaming others for the failed policies.
The fearless FT scribes are currently leading a virulent propaganda campaign to promote the violent overthrow of the democratically elected Venezuelan government of President Nicolas Maduro.
This essay will identify the FT’s latest pack of fearless lies and fabrications and then conclude by analyzing the political consequences for Venezuela and other independent regimes.
The Financial Times and Venezuela: From War in the Suites to Terror in the Streets
In covering the crisis in Venezuela, the FT has systematically ignored the ongoing campaign of assaults and assassinations against elected officials, security officers, military and police who have been murdered by the FT’s favored ‘opposition’.
The FT did not cover the horrific murders of an elected Chavista congresswoman and her two young children, who were executed (shot in the head) in broad daylight by opposition-paid hitmen.
These ongoing opposition terror campaigns against the elected government and the general public are systematically ignored in the FTs ‘reports’ and on its editorial pages, which focus more on the shortages of consumer items.
The FT cover-up of rightwing terror extended to inventing a ‘possible’ army or National Guard plan to open fire on opposition demonstrators. In this case, the FT anticipated rightwing violence by laying the blame on the government in advance.
The FT covers-up the opposition business elite’s campaign of hoarding essential goods to create artificial shortages and panic buying. They deny the ongoing price gouging and pin the blame for shortages and long consumer lines exclusively on ‘regime mismanagement’.
The FT conveniently omits to mention that the decline in world oil prices has affected not only the economy of Venezuela but all countries dependent on commodity exports, including the Financial Times favorite neo-liberal regimes in Brazil and Argentina.
The Financial Times cites bogus ‘opinion’ polls, which wildly exaggerate the government’s declining popularity: In the recent elections Maduro’s supporters secured 40% of the popular vote while the FT claims his support to be 7%!
US client regimes (Mexico, Peru, and Colombia) are the largest producers of illegal drugs and US banks are the largest launderers for narco-money. Yet the FT reports on “Venezuela’s role as a conduit for illegal drugs smuggled north to the US and east into Brazil, Africa and thence to Europe”. Drug enforcement experts all agree that Colombia, home to seven US military bases and with a regime closely linked to paramilitary-narco gangs, is the source of drugs smuggled through Venezuela. That Venezuela has become a victim of the violent Colombian narco-trade is never acknowledged by the elegant City of London pen-prostitutes.
The FT blames the re-emergence of ‘malaria and other possible diseases’ on the leftist Maduro government. In fact the recent ‘malaria outbreak’ (also cited by the New York Times propagandists) is based on a single illegal gold miner.
The FT ignores how the US- backed neo-liberal regimes in Argentina and Brazil, which rule by presidential decree, have slashed public health programs setting the stage for much greater public health crises.
The Financial Times: Big Lies for Mass Murder
The Financial Times is waging an all-out propaganda war with one goal: To incite the violent seizure of power in Venezuela by US political clients.
In line with the Obama-Clinton ‘regime-change by any means’ policies, the FT paints a deceptive picture of Venezuela facing ‘multiple crises’, representing a ‘destabilizing’ threat to the hemisphere, and on the brink of a global ‘humanitarian crisis’.
Armed with these deadly clichés, the FT editorial pages demand “a new government soon and certainly before the 2018 elections”.
Recently, the FT proposed a phony legal gimmick – a recall referendum. However, since the opposition cannot initiate the vote in time to oust the elected President Maduro, the FT calls for “events which precipitate changes sooner” – a violent coup!
FT’s scenarios aim to precipitate a violent rightwing “march”, eventually provoking civil bloodshed in early September of this year.
The FT expects that “blood in Caracas will require an active Latin America response”(sic). In other words, the FT hopes that a US-backed military invasion from neighboring Colombia would help eliminate the Chavistas and install a rightist regime.
The Financial Times, which actively promoted the NATO-led destruction of the government in Libya, now calls for a US-led invasion of Venezuela. Never ones to re-assess their promotion of ‘regime change’, the FT now calls for a violent coup in Venezuela, which will exceed that of Libya in terms of the loss of thousands of Venezuelan lives and the brutal reversal of a decade of significant socio-economic progress.
“Without fear and without favor”, the FT speaks for imperial wars everywhere.
Conclusion
The US presidential elections take place just as the Obama-Clinton regime prepares to intervene in Venezuela. Using bogus ‘humanitarian’ reports of widespread hunger, disease, violence and instability, the Obama will still need Venezuelan thugs to provoke enough violent street violence to trigger an’ invitation’ for Washington’s Latin American military partners to ‘intervene’ under the auspices of the UN or OAS.
If ’successful’, a rapid overthrow of the elected government in Caracas could be presented as a victory for Hilary Clinton’s campaign, and an example of her policy of ‘humanitarian-military interventions’ around the world.
However, if Obama’s allied invasion does not produce a quick and easy victory, if the Venezuelan people and armed forces mount a prolonged and courageous defense of their government and if US lives are lost in what could turn into a popular war of resistance, then Washington’s intervention could ultimately discredit the Clinton campaign and her ‘muscular’ foreign policy. The American electorate might finally decide against four more years of losing wars and losing lives. No thanks to the ‘fearless’ Financial Times.

This article nicely dovetails with Eamonn Fingleton’s 24th July Unz Review demolition of the FT. Well worth reading!
FT is hardly alone in activist media… I have already seen several articles in other places discussing the human tidal wave heading to the US from Venezuela unless the US acts to pre-empt it
Ah Goebbels would be proud of them. The Washington consensus the new THIRD REICH of our times. Hillary the Hitler in drag to take the thrown for the corporate fascist state that the USA has now become. Benito Mussolini’s dream has become a reality in the LAND OF THE FREE. the corporate state
I cancelled my subscription to the FT a few months ago. I had been reading it for almost 40 years.
They banned my comments. Here is their letter:
“You have been banned from commenting on FT.com”
Dear Mr. XXXXX,
As you may recall, we revoked your commenting ban in May at your request – at the time, you agreed to abide by the guidelines in the future. We made clear that if you violated those guidelines again, you would be banned permanently. Your comments over the past week have again repeatedly violated our commenting guidelines for being aggressive, repetitive and appearing to be part of an organised campaign. Therefore, we have banned you from posting comments on FT.com.
From now on, when you post comments, your comments will only remain visible to you and not to other readers.

“[T]he brutal reversal of a decade of significant socio-economic progress”.
Reverendo gilipollas.
If this were truly the case, one wonders why the voters in Colombia, Perú and Argentina chose to elect governments that the author believes actively work against the interests of said voters. If one lives in South America (as I do) and has no ideological axe to grind (Mr. P’s Wiki entry is illustrative of axe-grinding), it is painfully obvious that the so-called “significant socio-economic progress” made under leftist governments is a highly questionable proposition. As to Venezuela, the reports of hunger, etc., are anything but bogus, although if one has a lifetime commitment to an ideology (I don’t), one is perforce compelled to attempt to force reality into the fun-house mirror of personal ideological bias even when the evidence on the ground speaks for itself. Ideological academics,however, spend little time on the ground.
Lovely exposé article by James Petras.
The New World Order, headed by Zionist Oligarchs has triumphed, and is drowning the world in blood. Our America has joined the list of nations who have lost their sovereignty.
The way out of this mess – is to Restore our Republic, destroyed in a Zionist coup d’etat on November 22, 1963.
For Motivation, for Emotion, for the Memory of what once was and must be again: Check out these lovely speeches by our last constitutional President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Vote for Jill Stein, write in Ron Paul, even vote for Casino Trump if it makes you feel good. But it will do no good.
There is no easy exit from this horror. And no valium or vicodin, or alcoholic beverage, will restore the days when we had a reasonable facsimile of a Sovereign and Democratic Republic.
We The People, Ourselves Alone, must avenge the murders of the Kennedys, ML King, Malcolm X, Fred Hampton, John Lennon, those murdered on 9/11, the millions of Vietnamese, Indonesians, Iraqis, Afghanis, Guatemalans, Syrians, Libyans, Palestinians, those in sub-Saharan Africa, so many others who fell, and more who will fall.
The grim story of “The Financial Times: Megaphone for Mass Murder,” exposes humanity at its worst, at its nadir. We, Minutemen of the 21st Century, must heed the call, follow Our Only Road, Our Yellow Brick Road to the Restoration of our Republic, with its Constitution, which will accomplish the recovery of our Freedoms, our Sovereignty, and our Sacred Honor.

I’m afraid Dr. Petras – you’re very modest in describing FT. Its ZionCon editorial board has supported US invasion of every country the Zionist regime declared an enemy of Jewish people, and that doesn’t mean only the Muslim-majority nation-state.
Venezuela became enemy of the Zionist entity when late president Hugo Chavez kicked Israeli ambassador out of the country as result of Israel’s ethnic-cleansing of Palestinian people in Gaza. Chavez also established close political and economic relations with two other countries which pose “existential threat” to Israel – Iran and Cuba.
In June 2013, then Iranian president Dr. Ahmadinejad told Venezuelan ambassador, Amenhotep Zambrano, on Monday. He also told Zambrano that today Latin American nations have become familiar with the path of Bolivar Revolution which is the path to honor and resistance, adding this path will certainly lead them to victory.
“Our friendship and brotherhood is beyond diplomatic relations and will continue forever,” Ahmadinejad added.
Hugo Chavez built very close relations with the anti-Israel ‘Axis of Resistance’ (Iran, Hizbullah, Syria and Hamas). Chavez was against French-NATO war on Libyan president Qaddafi. Chavez was a personal friend of Ahmadinejad and called him “brother”. Ahmadinejad met Chavez in Caracas four times during his 8-year presidency. In addition, Ahmadinejad travelled to Caracas to attend Chavez funeral and Maduro’s inauguration ceremony in April 2013….

They – FT and NYT, engage simultaneously both in propaganda and conspiracy . They shove the policy into certain direction making it look like the desired by majority, best viable kind most productive ethical or moral solution . They seek solution by first creating the impression of the existence of a problem . Sometimes they simply create the problem. They are by doing it responding to the clout ,the lobby,and the benefactors that have the pow to influence government defense military and corporates . The government,defense,military,corporations and media eventually through this sort of constant interaction become essentially the fifth estate that channel the consensus – describe proble,offer solution,provide escape hatch in case disavowal is warranted and arrange for periodic public adulation .Alternative( facts,realities,role players,solution,problems) to any of those are not known or suppressed or ignored . This frees the 5 th estate need to hide the plan from the public. Their truth is the only truth allowed to be broadly known .
That’s not much use to us. Give us a fair idea of what the FT was banning.
Anyone reading and being simpatico with Unz.com or the alt-right site would be insane not to vote for Trump based solely on the vicious attacks against him by the globalists, the neocons, K Street, et al.
Agreed. Though the US doesn’t need to interfere, and shouldn’t, Chavez and Maduro’s Marxist lunacy brought the economic crisis to Venezuela. A business conspiracy to withhold goods and cause shortages? Sounds a lot like Hillary’s phony “vast right-wing conspiracy.”
Shouldn’t you be supporting Maduro’s Marxist lunacy? After -all Carl Marx was as much Jewish as Gen. Ariel Sharon – though both claimed to be “atheists”.
Both Chavez and Maduro are great admirers of llich Ramirez Sanchez (aka Carlos the Jackal).
Carlos, a Marxist Jew, was born in Caracas. He was son of a wealthy Jewish/Marxist lawyer. His father named him after Communist Russia’s first Jew dictator, Vladimir llich Lenin. In January 1966, he attended Camp Mantanzas, a Zionist Cuban revolution base located near Havana. Later he joined the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and thus got the nickname “Carlos, the self-hating Jew”. In 1975, Carlos’s gang took 40 ministers of OPEC hostage in Vienna. On December 22, 1975 – the rebels and the hostages were flown to Algiers enroute to Baghdad where 32 hostages were freed and plane was then flown to Libya. In August 1994 Carlos was kidnapped from Khartoum and is now serving life sentence in a French prison. Oddly, Carlos only wounded one Jew in his career as a “terrorist”. His victims have always been Americans and Europeans.

I was wondering what you said that got you banned, also.
one wonders why voters in the united states choose to elect governments that actively work against said voters.
Good article. Financial Times is owned by Rothschilds just as the Economist is.
It’s a multinational sport in the northern hemisphere! Propaganda works wonders with the gormless.
The “western republics ” have long suffered from the delusion that if only real conservatives, liberals, patriots, or “good Christian folks like us” could be elected, then all the crooks will get on a space ship and leave or something. The corrupt remain corrupt and need only to check what the new speak PR lines are to be in sync with whichever regime. The incompetent remain so, without bothering with party lines.
America is running an Israeli proxy war against Venezuela just like its war with Assad and Iran.
In an Op-Ed on March 5, 2015, ‘The Jew York Times’ slammed Venezuelan president for declaring persona non gratae three pro-Israel war-criminals, former US president Dubya George Bush, former vice-president Dick Cheney and former CIA hit-man George Tenet. The newspaper termed Caracas’ action “Punishing Scapegoats“. I bet many groups prefer to call them, Wolves in Sheep Clothing.
In 2014, David Harris, executive director of ‘American Jewish Congress (AJC)’ slammed Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro, for comparing Israel’s 50-day war on Hamas-ruled Gaza with Auschwitz.
In 2014, Jewish ‘Washington Post’, in a post entitled ‘Venezuela Does Not Deserve a Seat at the UN Security Council’, called Venezuelan president Nicholas Maduro an “economically illiterate former bus driver”.
In 2014, Jewish ‘VICE’ magazine wrote: “In its 14 years in power, Chavez’s administration was at once authoritarian and democratic, crudely demagogic and genuinely participatory.”
In September 2014, Nicholas Maduro addressing the UN General Assembly pledged his solidarity with the “Axis of Resistance” (Iran, Syria, Hizbullah and Iraq), all victims of ISIS. “It’s president Bashar al-Assad and Syrian government which have stopped the terrorists.” Maduro also accused the US and its western allies for creating the ISIS or ISIL. He claimed that only Syrian, Iraqi armies and their regional allies (Iran and Hizbullah) can defeat the “western monsters”.
Following in Netanyahu’s footstep, the US president Barack Obama issued an executive order on March 9, declaring Nicolás Maduro, president of Venezuela a national security threat for his mistreating country’s opposition lead by pro-USrael Henrique Capriles (born into a Jewish family) who was defeated by Maduro by a thin margin of 1.6% in the April 14, 2013 election. Both the US and Israel rejected the results of the election.
In response to Obama administration sanctions Venezuelan president penned a letter to American citizen on March 17, saying, “Venezuela is not a threat, but a hope.”
In January 2015, Nicolas Maduro visited Iran where he met Iranian president Sheikh Hassan Rouhani, former president Dr. Ahmadinejad and country’s Supreme Leader Ayatullah Ali Khamenei who praised Caracas position on Palestine.
James Neilson at the Buenos Aires Herald said that Obama threats have united Latin leaders behind Maduro. Fidel Castro, former president of Cuba sent a letter of support to Venezuelan president Maduro, saying: “The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has stated in a very precise manner that it has always been disposed to talk with the United States, in a peaceful and civilized fashion, but will never tolerate threats or impositions on the part of this country.”

I was surprised by this and have done several searches but can’t find it. Please give link.
Indeed Mr P sounds like someone whose free travel to third rate conferences in near failed states has been cut off by realities he doesn’t want to identify correctly. Amongst the more bizarre efforts are his characterisation of Brazil and coupling with Argentina’s very recent changes.
“The Finacial Times has been waging an all out propaganda war etc”
Not the FT I’ve been reading online and in aircraft for 10+ years (check with Googling for Financial Times Venezuela and note incidentally Petras’s petty misrepresentaions like the “7 per cent”).
What about Japanese ownership of the FT Mr P? Doesn’t that provoke any thoughts? Maybe just writing to them in Tokyo with protest and/or questions.
Sadly the article reads like the disappointment of one whose next best bet for a conference gig is Somalia but doesn’t want to fly that far economy class on a budget airline.
Is it still the Serbs that you are trying to make seem stupid? The FT is owned by Nikkei (Japanese) and 50 per cent of The Economist is owned by the Agnelli family. (Rothschild interests do not own the other 50 per cent).
Why vote for Trump for you haven’t given a valid reason other then to say everyone else is against him lets face reality no president can set his own policy for they simply won’t let him, and JFK and his brother Bobby are very good examples of it, for when JFK tried to set his own policy on the Fed. his directive on removing all U.S. troops from Nam his invitation to Moscow which he had accepted they decided to kill him as they will anyone else who tries it.Only one way to take this country back and that’s the hard way and it will be a long bloody bitter fight.!!
I wonder what they think of Netanyahu the furniture peddler and nuclear trigger smuggler.
The sales dude is apparently an expert on predictions too; he’s on record as early as 1992 claiming that Iran was “close” to having a nuke.
Scott Peterson at the Christian Science Monitor did a useful timeline for dire Israeli and US predictions of an imminent Iranian nuclear weapon, beginning ~24 years ago.
http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Middle-East/2011/1108/Imminent-Iran-nuclear-threat-A-timeline-of-warnings-since-1979/Israel-s-one-year-timeframe-disproved-2010-11
“Imminent” has various meanings, apparently! 😉
I neglected to cite the year. Mea culpa. The complete citation is 24 July 2015. There is another relevant Fingleton article on the FT in the 30 July 2015 issue of The Unz Review.
“Democratic” and “Maduro” in the first clause, you say?
That’s FInancial Times-worthy, I say.
Sorry but this article is bogus – not one “Jew” word in it.
Please – how can you mention Anglo-American militarist policies in the last fifty years and not bring up Zionism or Israel?

Nikkei is a stock bourse, a bourses don’t own media, liberal Anglo imbecile. Reuters and Economist is directly Rotschild owned, and FT (and loads of other medias and media groups) is too, even though some names come up as their fronts, like Soros or Lauder for example. I don’t say this to educate you, Anglo, but other iliberal readers here.
Your Kennedy was a typical liberal trash. Extremely hedonistic and awfully self-indulgent who had never done anything for his people or country himself, yet have the gut to stand up and say, “You must do whatever it takes for your country (which translates into government in your western meaning), and never ask what your county can do for you.” Ultimate shameless and hypocrisy (which are very liberal, Murican and Western traits as we all know). But for people of your libtard country to swallow something like that also knowing that rich parasite had never done anything for you or your land, it says all about you. But what else can be expected from people who call themselves by the name of a continent. Trash people, trash “culture” (which is nothing more than celebration of self-indulgencies, sexual perversions, promiscuity and unfaithfulness). It’s a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah, a place where diseaseas and disorders are being hatched and emanated to corrupt and perverse the world. If we are to have peace and free ourselves from western degeneracies, Murica and liberal plague must be utterly destroyed. Annihilated. Just like Sodom and Gomorrah were thousands of years ago.
and*
It sounds like denying responsibility, denying the majority of the Americans are the willing partners of this ‘God-fearing’ morally defunct evil ‘inquisitor’ enterprise.
You are shameless in your ignorance. I have never been a Kennedy fan but it is surely impossible to deny his courage, fortitude and determination from war service to persistence in pursuing his ambitions and duty as a politician despite great pain and the need for heavy medication to keep going.
I feel as though I might be naively unaware of some new fashion of trolling in antisocial media. Can someone provide some insight into this loopy “Khan Bodin” performance? No attempt to show that he/she/it has any regard for the truth or persuading others to believe his/her/its assertions…. And then there are the insults which one would have thought well calculated to put off even sane allies (a bit like ISIS decapitations perhaps) but can’t help reminding me of Anna Wierzbizka’s marvellous little book which included the information, inter alia, that Russian has more words for fool, idiot, moron, stupid etc than any other major language…
Wiz
Haven’t you noticed how this “Tatar’s” English prose has improved with some speed after obviously feigning bad grammar and misspellings? He is a troll attempting to get a rise from Americans, “Anglo-Zionists”, etc. You might observe his antics, as I do, with amusement, or, as it is imperative on occasion, dispatch him with some well-chosen Anglo-Zionist terms of endearment. Like “Sod off wanker!”
Me too.
“…Ideological academics…”
It is quite possible that if the DC’ ‘practitioners’ and other ‘realists’ succeed in a “rapid overthrow of the elected government in Caracas” then the Venezuelan people would be forced to live through a Libyan model or, as the Clintonistas psychopaths call it ‘humanitarian-military intervention.”
By the way, are you aware (aren’t you?) that “Drug enforcement experts all agree that Colombia, home to seven US military bases and with a regime closely linked to paramilitary-narco gangs, is the source of drugs smuggled through Venezuela. That Venezuela has become a victim of the violent Colombian narco-trade is never acknowledged by the elegant City of London pen-prostitutes.”
Trolling — the art of deliberately, cleverly, and secretly pissing people off.
That means I am doing something damn good, so good that servants of the Empire and mindless libtards would step forth to openly express their distress, unrest and discomfort my arguments have cayused them. And to add another layer of confirmation, you will find a Jew expressing support for his liberal brother-in-arms through voicing his discomfort as well. ehehehe
Your confirmations are unnecessary though. I already knew I was causing distress in shit-for-brains heads of libtards, and exposing your foul, vile, perverse nature always draws you out from the woodwork, doesn’t it? ehehehe I know how to deal with the pest, and don’t need your confirmation of my job masterfully done. Know that your degenerate liberal ideology will be swept away like a fart in the wind.
On the subject of FT’s publishing bias, I make note of this article on the current thinking on Brexit, which shows all the signs of not quite being the disaster clamoured by Remainers. Service Sector is actually re-bounding.
This is what I had written and believed that in fact Brexit would actually lead to an uptick in activity:

Yes, and he’s now admited his trolling with just a little bit of halfhearted insult thrown in. I exect he/she will now disappear.
I have made some inquiries of RU, though lacking in persistence, as to how quite a number of commenters of whom I have previously been unaware turn up on threads in the name-only format which normally indicates that they are commenters one has chosen to ignore. Do you understand what this signifies or how it happens?
Also do you understand how a comment can be encased in a rectangular frame (and on my phone anyway with dark orange colour)? It is almost as if the comment has been chosen by an editor for prominence.
As I am about to add to what may well be my last reply to the frothing Revusky (a bit like a Khan Bodin with stamina – do you think there could have been a crossing of a Bodin male with a Rehmat sister?) have a Wiki look at thermite. My matriculation chemistry didn’t introduce me to thermite or thermite reactions by that name anyway. As far as I can see it does nothing for the conspiracy theorists even potentially.
Not clever though. That’s what shows you wasting your time and talent.
I was about to thank the Rehmat syndicate for the interesting information that Carlos the Jackal is/was a Jew and Zionist but dif my own online searches a nd find it to be untrue.

Revusky? Well when I first encountered him, I thought he was merely a twit, but it became clear rather quickly that he is not spinning on entirely stable axes. He’s been seeking out people to engage in the same arguments over 9/11 for over a decade, with the very same foul tone and abusive language !! So I’d avoid exchanges with him, unless absolutely needed. I reckon he would suffer a stroke if he went a day without ranting about 9/11.
