The vice of “anonymous sources” in the United States’ war against Venezuela has turned lies into a comfortable and profitable sanctuary. Montaigne warned of this centuries ago: “The deterioration of truth has a thousand aspects and an indefinite scope. The Pythagoreans assert that good is certain and finite; evil, infinite and uncertain.” (more…)

Juan Orlando Hernández

The arbitrary and criminal actions of convicted President Donald Trump are long and seemingly endless, as reflected in several articles by researchers and media outlets. One of the latest actions demonstrating Trump’s innate arrogance was his pardon of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, imprisoned in the United States for drug trafficking and serving a 45-year sentence, while at the same time threatening to bombard Venezuela with false accusations of being a narco-state.

Pre-election polls showed a wide lead for the candidate of the ruling Libre party, Rixi Moncada.
