> ImageNicolás Reyes es un dictador oligárquico extrañamente basado en Nicolás Maduro, un izquierdista odiado por la oligarquíaComo sabe cualquier persona con un conocimiento básico de la historia de subversión de la CIA, Reyes es exactamente el tipo de personaje que la agencia ha apoyado y apuntalado en todo el mundo en la forma de dictadores de derecha como Augusto Pinochet, Efraín Rios-Montt y el Shah Reza Pahlavi. Hoy en Venezuela, la CIA y sus títeres están apoyando a Juan Guaidó, una figura auspiciada por las clases altas de su país y los gobiernos de derecha en la región.

> El programa fue filmado en Bogotá, Colombia y no en Caracas, Venezuela. Y como en la temporada anterior, los espectadores son bombardeados con estereotipos negativos de “los nativos”. Los venezolanos que aparecen en la pantalla son presentados como manifestantes violentos, asesinos, funcionarios corruptos, zombis malvados que apoyan al dictador y, una vez más, como niños asesinos.

> Mientras promocionaba el papel que desempeñó la CIA en la creación del thriller de fantasía de cambio de régimen de Amazon, Krasinski negó promover una agenda ulterior. “Se hicieron suposiciones que Estados Unidos estaba atacando a Venezuela”, dijo en respuesta a las críticas del gobierno venezolano, “pero eso no tiene nada que ver con nuestro programa”.

> Para Secker, el investigador que tan clínicamente expuso a los agentes de inteligencia detrás de la cortina de la serie de Amazon, “Jack Ryan” fue diseñada para inculcar en los espectadores en una “desquiciada visión del mundo militarizada, intolerante y paranoica”.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_-_KvTQJMw <-this is his interview with Telesur went he started referring Israel as JSIL, the fascist regime of the middle east.
then is his book 51 Day War: https://www.amazon.com/51-Day-War-Ruin-Resistance/dp/156858511X
this is the description on amazon: Blumenthal brings the battles in Gaza to life, detailing the ferocious clashes that took place when Israel’s military invaded the besieged strip. He radically shifts the discussion around a number of highly contentious issues: the use of civilians as human shields by Israeli forces, the arbitrary targeting of Palestinian civilians, and the radicalization of Israeli public officials and top military personnel. Amid the rubble of Gaza’s border regions, Blumenthal recorded the testimonies from scores of residents, documenting potential war crimes committed by the Israeli armed forces while carefully examining the military doctrine that led to them.
i never passed beyond the intro since it was terrible biased, he went to Gaza to talk about Israel interview people that told that they were just there in the combat zones with the explosion around them and when the Israeli forces evacuated them out of the combat zone they were human shields...dammed if you leaved in danger dammed if you evacuated them out of danger...and in there is where he mention the soldiers that spoke arabic and the evil solders that moved them around...
and lastly my favorite...'I’m considered a little bit dangerous by the pro-Israel lobby because I am a white, upper-middle class Jewish guy from DC' http://www.timesofisrael.com/anti-zionist-max-blumenthal-jeered-at-toronto-event/ because the other 75% of jews in the not-the-US rest of the planet that are not white are not an issue...
“Germany is the whitest country in the world.” Asked by his interviewer to define “white,” he said, “Whiteness is the supreme embodiment of privilege.” ... http://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-arts-and-culture/books/189172/max-blumenthal-and-anti-zionists
