Dan Kovalik with Daniel Ortega<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dan Kovalik is one of the intellectuals and activists that I\u2019ve identified as being associated with Venezuela\u2019s Kultural Marxism network as well as the Nicaragua Network founded by Daniel Ortega.<\/p>\n

When I noticed that he was going to be giving what was described as a \u201cTalk and Exchange\u201d via a live video chat, I set a notification for myself in order to watch and ask some questions.<\/p>\n

Verifying Authenticity and Logging On to the Network<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first thing that I do in order to access live feed described in this brief essay designed to enlighten the minds of its readers on the connections between Venezuela\u2019s Intelligence Services and intellectuals and political activists in America was by logging on to Facebook.<\/p>\n

One logs on by first pulling up their website on an internet browser or smartphone app. After I logged in to my account, the use of which is predicated upon Facebook\u2019s terms and conditions, I pulled up the Alliance for Global Justice<\/a> Facebook page and began to watch Dan Kovalik speak.<\/p>\n

The preliminary speech was aligned with other not-very-insightful commentary that I\u2019ve seen Abby Martin and other Venezuela-hands provide. I\u2019d be curious to learn if they receive these talking points \u2013 which don\u2019t seem to vary much \u2013 from their Venezuelan handlers or if they come up with them themselves. Anyway, after a while, he started to wind down and open for questions.<\/p>\n

Questioning Dan Kovalik<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
It makes sense that those associated with Venezuela’s Intelligence Agencies would want to watch Dan Kovalik, after all, they need to make sure he doesn’t go off script.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My first question related to whether or not there was any sort of conflict of interest in Dan\u2019s reporting \u2013 specifically if he had even been given money by the Venezuelan government or their associates. He never answered this question.<\/p>\n

The second question, shown above, was a question related to discerning whether or not there was anything that could cause Kovalik to lose support for Maduro. As numerous charges have been brought up against Venezuelan government officials for narco-trafficking, corruption, political oppression and assassination \u2013 this seemed pretty relevant. He never answered this question.<\/p>\n

The last question – hidden in the above so that I could provide evidence that a former member of Venezuela\u2019s Ministerio del Poder Popular para la Cultura was watching the Facebook Live video \u2013 was in regards the limits of acceptable behavior for those in America who wanted to ensure that Nicolas Maduro\u2019s grip on the Venezuelan state apparatus continued. As the Embassy Protection Collectives in Washington D.C. and New York were engaged in an illegal occupation; as there is a history of Venezuela\u2019s political associates harassing American politicians; as Venezuela assists in the publication of content promoting the idea that violence against American police officers and assassination of American politicians is justifiable \u2013 I wondered what sort of behavior was considered \u201coff limits\u201d. He never answered this question.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Grand Jury Investigation Using Only Publicly Available Evidence<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not terribly surprised that Dan Kovalik refused to answer any of these questions \u2013 on his public Facebook profile it is very evident that he identifies as a Nicaraguan revolutionary that would sooner face physical assault or incarceration than snitch on his comrades.<\/p>\n

To me this seems yet another example of Orwellian Irony.<\/p>\n

Why so? In The Communist Manifesto<\/a> Karl Marx claims that true “communists disdain\u00a0to conceal their views and\u00a0aims”. And yet here we clearly see that when it comes to avowing who it is that funds and organizes the speaking engagements wherein those views are shared \u00a0– a state which identifies itself with the Marxian tradition – \u00a0deception and disavowal is the actual behavior practiced.<\/p>\n

Alliance for Global Justice is Funded by Venezuelan Government and their Political Associates <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
Alliance for Global Justice admitting by silence that they are funded by Venezuela.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Blocking my profile and ignoring my questions have been a typical tactic of those involved with Venezuela\u2019s network of artists, activists and intellectuals living and operating in the United States.<\/p>\n

To my surprise, one of the operators of Alliance for Global Justice Facebook account responded to one of my comments after the talk had ended. I can\u2019t say I\u2019m terribly surprised, as I prefaced my inquiry with purposefully provocative comments.<\/p>\n

Not to my surprise, the Alliance for Global Justice account operator responding to my prior inquiry did not answer the question as to the relationship between Venezuela and their organization. Nevertheless \u00a0the existence of this thread allows me now to say definitively that the Alliance for Global Justice is funded in part by Nicolas Maduro and his network of associates.<\/p>\n

How can I legitimately this claim despite the fact that they didn\u2019t answer? Two reasons.<\/p>\n

First, there is the fact that the political history of the organization and the activities it supports are aligned with\u00a0Hugo Chavez\u2019s Gramscian phantasy of Latin America united under Venezuela\u2019s rule.<\/p>\n

Secondly is the ancient legal precept Qui tacet consentire videtur<\/em>, which translated in English to “He who is\u00a0silent\u00a0is taken to agree”.<\/p>\n

Cultural Marxism as a Worldview Propounded by the Directors of Kultural Marxism\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Understanding the origins of the Alliance for Global Justice’s funding of politically polarizing socialist views and events is important as it relates to\u00a0destroying the anti-Semitic mythos of Cultural Marxism and verifying my claims of the existence of Venezuela’s\u00a0Kultural Marxism operations.<\/p>\n

Given the many anti-Semitic\/anti-Israel views expressed and actions taken by the Venezuelan government along with the Cultural Marxist claim that George Soros uses the Alliance for Global Justice as part of some amorphous international Jewish conspiracy I would hypothesize that they are in part responsible for some of the content or promotion on the matter. \u00a0Considering that this narrative also deflects from the much more sensible explanation that this is part of Venezuela’s effort to create a multi-polar world, it seems all the more true.<\/p>\n
