Speaking in Geneva, the agency’s Director of Emergency Operations, Manuel Fontaine, warned that conflict is at a 30-year high: “There’s never been as much conflict in the world in the past 30 years as this year, so it is obviously a particular threat,” he said.

25 January 2019 (Wall Street International)* — When twenty-eight-year-old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, an avowed Democratic Socialist, in July defeated 10-term Democratic congressman Joe Crowley in the New York primary election, fears of a socialist takeover of the country came front and center once again.

28 January 2019 – In El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, crime, economic destitution, police violence are driving people to seek refuge. The governments of these countries are there precisely because of US intervention aimed at preserving US corporate dominance of their economies in the face of reformist leaders who tried to retain some usage of resources for the benefit of their own countries.
Several Latin American countries are now named by President Trump, Vice President Pence, and National Security Advisor John Bolton as targets for similar regime change.
The most immediate target, Venezuela, is facing a coup and a likely civil war as President Maduro, two months after his re-election, is being replaced by an arbitrarily selected opponent now being recognized by the US.

UNITED NATIONS, Jan 25 2019 (IPS)* – The United Nations, which embodies the core principles of multilateralism since its creation more than 74 years ago, is being steadily and systematically undermined by a reactionary and demagogic Trump administration recklessly flaunting American imperialism at its worst.
