Donald Trump doesn't just want to be the dictator of the US, he wants to be king of the US and dictator of the world.

I'm from Brazil unfortunately, and I can say he really knows what is happening here, ALL the achievements of Lula and Dilma are being lost and Brazil is just a doormat of US now. I hope Venezuela resists no matter what, it's the only country now that can make me less ashamed of being Latin American.

I did not know that mr. Danny Glover is such an knowledgeable and honest person he is. Everything he said is very true and transparent. He should be heard more often and even elsewhere.

Lies lies and yet more American lies. Leave Venezuela alone. If they're so concerned about people then lift the sanctions. Aid is a Trojan horse, they are sending weapons, they want death & destruction. No one trusts US govt anymore.

Trump described PERFECTLY what the United States did to Libya.  The wealthiest nation in Africa, brought down to one of the largest humanitarian crisis on the globe, maybe next to Yemen, and this is the messenger?

And just how is it a person can be "declared president" by outside nations without that person receiving even one vote on a ballot in an election?  Democracy?  Um, no, that's not democracy.

This man talks and talks for over 20 minutes and brings up things I didn't even hear talked about on the tyt network. And at minute 24.05, when he brings up what to do he just, stairs into the distance and breathes out and doesn't know what to say for a bit. That is so much how I feel too about this. I feel like I'm living in a country that continuously lied to everyone living hear that we're perfect and doing the right thing,but that right thing is the continuous canibolization of the weaker, surrounding nations so we can reap the benefits and leave nothing but suffering in our path.
I wish I could sqy, what have we become, but the truth is, we've always been this way. The U.S. was founded by a group of filthy tax Dodgers that didn't way to pay up. Why should we expect anything different 200 years later. 😑

It’s difficult to discuss such a broad, complicated topic, at such depth and length, without once mentioning simple old Zionist predation (the “deeper pathology”). Kudos to Danny!

Thank you Danny Glover for taking your time to bring this situation into perspective for all of us. I have become so distressed at being a 72 year old citizen of a country whose government I always thought was a proponent of doing the right thing. I have learned it is the ugliest on earth. There are still a few citizen such as yourself who try to make things right.

History is repeated itself, it was same struggling about 300 years ago, Haiti and Simon Bolivar were fighting together to put an ending to slavery all over the Americas and the rest of the world.
Although we don't hear it in the medias, Haiti is in ebullition right now.
, Haitian people are manifesting in the streets everyday against the american stooge president in Haiti.
Our  Africans, native Americans and others ancestors are spiritually back in return, manifesting to put an ending to the Monroe doctrine and its allied stooges.
Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité
l'Union fait la Force
The  reign of (NATO/EU) is over, Peace will prevail.

Not enough people will see this. Point of fact: An actor (although, really more than an actor) is giving a lesson on democracy. The proponents and opponents of it. An actor is doing more to enlighten the minds of people than CNN, MSN, Yahoo, Fox, MSNBC, PBS, WGN, -----there is more plain truth in this segment than everything deemed important to show on United States TV's by so-called news organizations. Why? Why are trained journalists in print and video media not doing what a trained actor IS doing? They refuse to speak truth to power. They refuse to listen and report the voice of THE PEOPLE.

Yesterday it snowed I shoveled that up. Last night there was freezing rain; I've tried putting down salt and the ice melts and re-freezes. Later today it is supposed to warm up and the freezing rain turns into rain; hopefully the ice will melt. The rest of the week it is suppose to be below freezing with more snow. We have at least three feedback loops related to Arctic warming in play; there is no modeling that can help us know what to expect or how to react. For a month Federal workers had to decide between feeding their family, getting medicine or paying rent while the Moron in the WH played games. Israel kills Palestinians for sport and the Congress just passed a Bill saying it is against the law to criticize the country. The US, the Saudi's and Colombian mercenaries have been committing crimes against humanity in Syria. Now the West wants the rest of the world to think they are humanitarians liberating the Venezuelan people. Bolton has come out and said this is about Venezuelan resources so we don't have to pretend anymore. The West is trying to overthrow Venezuela, Iran, Cuba and whoever else that gets in the way. Any developing nation that wants to develop a business relationship with Russia and/or China becomes a target for a right wing regime change. Europe is in turmoil and England doesn't know what to do. The World economy is slowing down; tariff's are affecting Farmers, the Automotive Industry and Auto suppliers are starting to layoff workers. People aren't going to be buying houses like in the past because of interest rates and the possibility the Fed may lower rates. The 2017 Tax reform is a shock for everybody that expected a Tax refund to pay for their Holiday spending. People are going to start rethinking their Mac-Mansions now that the Government isn't subsidizing them anymore. We've got all of these no-win predicaments and we have a President that is a petty crook with one mission and that is to make as much money for his puppet-masters and his family. This is an Administration that is understaffed; the people in the Cabinet are either Lobbyist or marginal player's with an agenda. It appears we're going the Crack-Head route; we've got to hit rock bottom before we wake up but wake up we will because the Climate Chaos alarm clock is going off.

There are some who say it is a coroner's report that will lead to our demise.” It is an established fact that the United States Federal Government has been dissolved by the Emergency Banking Act, March 9, 1933, 48 Stat. 1, Public Law 89-719; declared by President Roosevelt, being bankrupt and insolvent.

Thanks for this post. My prayer is that more ordinary ppl will tune in and get the real news. The underlyingtheme in al of this is racism. Europeeon and Americans do not want the rise of melanated ppl handling their own affairs. What threat was Grenada to america or the Kongo to america. Let's call it what it is. The info you provided on canada's interest in Venezuela was an eye opener for me. Carcassians know one system. Exploitation. Giv thanxs.

Yes every President or leader the Neocons disagree with is a dictator and their Governments are regimes.  So if these words influence people to think ill of those named thus, then it's long past time to apply those terms to the United States.

Danny Glover was a student of my favorite Professor and mentor back in the late 60's when my Professor was still young teaching at Berkley, California. Decades later I studied under Professor John "Tito" Gerassi (look him up) at CUNY in his last years as tenure at the City University of New York. Danny Glover is the sharpest politicized celebrity in the US, and I know why.

Chavez was a friend to his Afro Caribbean neighboring states which thoroughly displeased the US. The US went so far as to block Haiti's attempt to join Caricom. This was under Rene Preval. The power structure has changed in the last 5-7 years. More foreign investment. Perhaps that's the reason why Haiti now supports the usurper.

Great   discussion.

Will He finally say No to the USA regime coup on Venezuela.  I get bad feeling  He could be a sell out in his golden years?? His  Historical Time line is accurate. The track record of the Pres. James  Monroe doctrine says in short,  we own the Western Hemisphere, all others stay away from our back yard. Security through expansion since Pres. Quincy Adams. Monroe Doctrine is now global, USA regime says, " Full Spectrum Domination, we own the world."But you also hear from USA regime "Born to kill". Glover says none of this. You need to call out USA, this world has an American military problem. It took 2 yrs for USA military to learn how to take advantage  of Donald's mental health issues. Rough ride ahead.
