Students Protest Raytheon’s Presence at College Job Fair; Raytheon Employee Clueless of War in Yemen

The Bezos-National Enquirer Story Has *Everything*
Bezos’s accusation last night that National Enquirer owner American Media Inc. is trying to blackmail him had everything: Extortion, murder, politics, a billionaire’s private parts. It inspired both HuffPost and the elder Post to write the mathematically perfect tabloid headline, which I will not reprint in this wholesome family newsletter. More seriously, this is the latest and weirdest front in a clash of titans pitting the President of the United States against the World’s Richest Man.
Argentina: Protests Against President Macri Austerity Continue
In Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina, massive demonstrations were held for the seventh consecutive Friday, to express the population‘s rejection of the high prices of public services and the economic austerity measures implemented by the government of Mauricio Macri.
Kein Konsens in Montevideo
Bundesaußenminister Heiko Maas verzichtete auf eine Reise nach Montevideo, sondern ließ sich durch einen Beamten vertreten. Er selbst konferierte lieber einen Tag zuvor in Washington mit dem Nationalen Sicherheitsberater der USA, John Bolton:

Social movements and unions in Canada have condemned the government‘s decision of backing the illegitimately self-proclaimed „interim president“ Juan Guaido and the U.S.-backed coup attempt against Constitutional President Nicolas Maduro.
Differenzen auf internationaler Konferenz zu Venezuela in Montevideo
Die Ziele der Abschlusserklärung der internationalen Konferenz unterscheiden sich von dem von den Außenministern Uruguays und Mexikos ursprünglich vorgeschlagenen Montevideo-Mechanismus, in dem vier Phasen festgelegt wurden, um den Dialog zwischen den beteiligten Parteien in Venezuela zu erreichen.
Maduro Welcomes Delegation of EU-Backed Contact Group to Venezuela Despite Rejecting Resolution
Answering questions about the “humanitarian aid” that the United States has sent to Venezuela on the request of Guaido, President Maduro said that such an action is an attempt to violate the national sovereignty “with a show called humanitarian operation by the government of Donald Trump, who has ratified his threat of military invasion against Venezuela.“

Labour Party is going to take the UK out of the European Union
“Labour has set out its support for a customs union, not the customs union, and they want a close relationship with the single market, so they simply want a free trade deal”, he explained.
Commenting on remarks he had made about being a fish out of water in the House of Lords, when it is predominately a Remain upper chamber, Glasman said: “Virtually all the politicians over the past 35 years have been pro EU. They don’t seem to grasp how profoundly undemocratic the EU is and how the people in the country have turned against it. It’s been quite difficult for me socially but politically the support for leaving is actually growing.”
Good interview with @blue_labour guru Maurice Glasman. Supportive (but not uncritical) of the Labour leadership – „Corbyn is emerging as a statesman“ – supportive of Brexit as a renewal of democracy, scathing about rampant capitalism. Right on all counts.
WIPE OUT! Theresa May warned Tories face local election wipe-out if Brexit is delayed beyond March 29
The ongoing deadlock with the EU has led many to expect the Article 50 exit talks will have to be extended beyond the March 29 deadline.
But local government bosses and Cabinet ministers have warned No10 as well as the Tory party’s chairman that its vote at the council polls on May 2 will be decimated if they are seen to have broken the key Brexit promise.
That gives the PM just a five week extra window to wrap up Brexit and pass all necessary new laws, and 12 weeks in total from now.
‚Thousands of Tory party members‘ to defect to Nigel Farage‘s Brexit Party as it gets official approval
The Electoral Commission on Friday formally recognised the Brexit Party as an official organisation which will allow it to field candidates at elections.
Nigel Farage, the former Ukip leader who is supporting the party, said „the engine is running“ and he stood „ready for battle“ to fight the Tories and Labour if European Parliament elections are held on May 23.

GB: Neue Brexit-Partei offiziell anerkannt
Sollte der für Ende März geplante EU-Austritt Großbritanniens verschoben werden, könnte die Brexit Party damit bei den Europawahlen im Mai antreten.
Bei dem Treffen von Außenminister @HeikoMaas und @AmbJohnBolton ging es vor allem um #Venezuela: Wir haben vereinbart, dass wir weiter Druck dafür machen, dass der von uns anerkannte Interimspräsident @jguaido schnell in die Lage versetzt wird, Neuwahlen durchzuführen.

US Military Option in Venezuela Risks Long Unpopular War
The United States invaded Grenada in 1983 and Panama in 1989, two small Latin American countries, with limited military operations. But analysts caution a U.S. intervention in Venezuela, which is twice the size of Iraq and densely populated, could require a significant and sustained U.S. military commitment to succeed.
