The Hands Off Syria Coalition is locked in a political noose with Hands Off Venezuela groups to support the Venezuelan government against tens of thousands of protesters. First, because Syria & Venezuela are allied, but also because the political forces in both networks are Stalinists, libertarians, fascists, rightwing socialists.

Now those groups are sending out alarmist warnings that the White Helmets are “infiltrating” Venezuela to destroy the Bolivarian Revolution. Once again, rescue workers on the front lines of troublemaking in the imaginary universe of Assadism. Stay tuned for when the “Wahhabi/Salafi jihadi head-choppers” infiltrate Venezuela. Things will really get hot, more imaginary & surreal, more politically debased, & more dangerous for protesters against inequality in Venezuela.
