Is U.S. Behind Terrorist Assassination of Charismatic Venezuelan Legislator?

Probably.

Robert Serra, a member of the Venezuelan Congress, was murdered in his home in Caracas along with a woman (unidentified in the extremely brief account in the U.S.' self-appointed “newspaper of record,” the New York Times). He was only 27. A member of the governing party despised by the U.S. government and media, the Times described him as “a rising star in Venezuela's governing party” and “a lawyer and former student leader.” [1]

Identifying key leaders and murdering them early is standard operating procedure for the U.S. Of course, it's possible that indigenous fascists did this all on their own, without any U.S. guidance or prompting. But the long historical record of the U.S. directing the fascist forces of Latin America, down to the level of providing them with the identities and whereabouts of people to be victimized, makes it probable that the U.S. has more blood dripping from its fingers.

The New York Times didn't consider this major act of political terrorism against an “enemy” regime particularly noteworthy. (In contrast to the huge display of “shock” and “horror” over the Islamonazis calling themselves the “Islamic State” chopping off the heads of four- so far- Westerners. That's a much bigger deal than the thousands of non-”white” people IS has murdered so far. And by the way, the U.S.' Good Buddies, the Saudi rulers, chop off heads weekly, including those of women they “convict” of “sorcery.” That is happening as I type. But the Saudis, the font of this vicious ideology, are said to be “allies” in the fight against IS. Sure.)

1] “Venezuela: Lawmaker Killed in His Home, Police Say.” October 3rd. The Times devoted all of a column-inch, and five sentences, squeezed into a third of the page-width on the bottom of page A11 for this.

Another unimportant (to the NY Times) story shoehorned into the same bottom corner of the page gives the briefest “coverage” the Kiev regime in Ukraine murdering a Red Cross official by bombarding the Red Cross office in Donetsk with artillery fire. See “Western Client Regime in Ukraine Shells Red Cross Office, Killing Administrator.”

2] Five examples, of thousands, come to mind of how the U.S. orchestrates mass political torture and murder. 1: The Phoenix Program in Vietnam, run by William Colby, in which the CIA directly ran U.S. death squads that assassinated around 50,000 Vietnamese. 2: The 1965 massacre of 800,000 in Indonesia, which the CIA instigated. 3: Operation Condor, in which Henry Kissinger gave the fascist military dictators of the “Southern Cone” of South America permission to run an international assassination program against their “enemies.” This included the carbombing assassination in Washington, D.C., of Orlando Letelier and Ronni Moffitt. 4: The Chilean coup of 1973, planned and set in motion by the CIA and U.S. military. A U.S. Navy Captain instructed the Chilean military to murder two American citizens, Charles Horman and Louis Teruzzi, considered “leftists.” 5: Phil Agee, the late CIA officer, describes CIA operations of providing names to Latin fascist regimes of people to arrest, torture, and murder.
