Maduro's Demise Imminent? The Same Was Said Of Syria's Assad

A new Bloomberg report begins by noting, "As with Assad eight years ago, it’s hard to find an analyst or Western official predicting Maduro’s long-term survival." Given that the professional class of "analysts" tends to get just about everything wrong, it seems safe to bet on Maduro lasting much longer than anyone is currently predicting. Pundits and politicians seeking regime change also have a penchant for wishfully exaggerating the degree to which popular unrest and external pressures actually erode and crack the regime, and still very loyal military.

Like with Syria before, the headlines on Venezuela are moving much faster that the reality inside Caracas. Also like with Syria, pundits who have little to no awareness of what the Latin American country looks like on the ground will still arrogantly make their inflated prognostications from thousands of miles away from the Venezuelan streets. For this reason if some lone military attaché at the Venezuelan embassy in D.C. defects, it generates breathless headlines foretelling a supposedly imminent snowball effect of mass army defections: Losing Grip on Power… one ABC headline excitedly stated after the officer's declaration of support for Juan Guaido.

Democrats Push for Hidden Deportation Freeze in Border Wall Talks

Congressional talks over border security and the wall have stalled because Democrats are trying to sharply limit the deportation of economic migrants.

President Donald Trump posted a tweet on Sunday about the partisan divide over deportation rules which have split the 17 legislators drafting the 2019 budget for the Department of Homeland Security:

The “cap on convicted violent felons to be held in detention” likely refers to the Democrats’ push to shrink the number of detention spaces needed by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency to hold migrants during the legal deportation process.

The Washington Post reports:

Democrats were trying to limit the number of detention beds that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency would have access to. Democrats want to cap detention beds as a way to limit aggressive detention activities by ICE.

The cap on detention beds would not “Abolish ICE,” as sought by some Democratic legislators, but would shackle ICE to the establishment’s pro-migration policies.

ICE needs many detention beds because judges and migrants’ lawyers try to stretch out the time needed to deport each migrant. Many of the lawyers are progressive ideologues who oppose any deportations. So if the progressive lawyers double the time needed to deport each migrant, they also halve the number of migrants who get deported.

If the Democrats can shrink the number of detention beds, then enforcement officials would be unable to deport many lower-priority economic migrants. That would create a hidden amnesty for economic migrants who do not commit violent crimes.

Officials normally put a higher priority on deporting violent criminals illegals, and illegals caught driving while drunk. But many of the criminal migrants are aided by lawyers eager to slow deportations.

Also, without enough beds, border agencies would be forced to catch-and-release the wave of Central American migrants seeking jobs in Democrat-run cities.

Currently, officials do not have the enforcement agents and bed spaces needed to catch, detain, and deport migrants crossing the border, or even the one million migrants already ordered home by judges.

Trump requested funding for 50,000 beds in 2019. Democrats want to push the number down below 30,000, and add rules to reduce the detention of migrants already living in the United States and of migrants who bring children into the United States.

There are at least 11 million migrants in the United States, including roughly 8 million who are working. That illegal population is a huge benefit to business because the migrants force down wages, boost rental costs, and raise consumer sales. The population is also a huge problem for the many millions of Americans who earn less at their jobs and pay more for apartments.

Investors, employers, and Democratic political candidates already get huge benefits from the huge population of 45 million legal immigrants.

The disagreement over deportations comes as the Gallup polling company reported that 5 million people to the south of Texas are considering whether to migrate this year into the United States:

Houthis Repel Saudi-led Coalition Attack And Destroy Two Canadian-Made Vehicles (18+ Video)

On February 9, the Houthis repelled an attack by the Saudi-led coalition and its Yemen proxies on their positions in the area of al-Sawh in the Kingdom’s southern province of Najran, according to the al-Masirah TV.

Houthi fighters killed and injured several personnel of the coalition while repelling the attack. The Yemeni group also destroyed a LAV-R armored recovery vehicle and a LAV-25 amphibious armored reconnaissance vehicle of the Saudi military. Both vehicles are made by Canada, one of the main weapons suppliers for the coalition.

Saudi-led coalition warplanes carried out a series of airstrikes on Houthis forces in al-Sawh after the failure of the attack. However, the airstrikes were ineffective.

The Houthis maintained a military presence in the southern provinces of Saudi Arabia, especially Najran and Jizan, throughout this war. The Yemeni group view this presence as a mean to deter the Kingdom, that is still incapable of securing its own border.

War Capital: Blackwater Founder Draws Scrutiny for $1 Trillion China Deal

A former US Navy Seal-turned businessman who has seen his global mercenary moves continually turn a profit has gone for broke in China following massive investment from Beijing.

US businessman Erik Prince, described as America's foremost mercenary executive, is drawing increasing scrutiny for signing his guns-for-hire corporation out to a state-run Beijing company investing in building what are thought to be concentration camps in the deep central desert of China.

Associated with a seemingly ever-growing list of mercenary businesses including Blackwater, Xe and Academi, Prince's latest gambit, the Hong Kong-based Frontier Services Group (FSG), has inked a deal to enter into a trillion-dollar set of agreements that will worsen what many note is an ongoing human rights disaster in central China, according to Bloomberg.

Prince stepped down as the head of FSG in December 2018, allowing Beijing's powerful state-run financial services company CITIC — formerly China International Trust Investment Corporation — to take the reigns of the company, although the US-born war profiteer retains a deputy-chairmanship and a nine-percent stake.

FSG's new contract with Beijing to build alleged prison camps in central China to house an estimated 1 million ethnic detained by the current regime of the country's president, Xi Jinping, has drawn deep criticism, including from within the infrastructure of the US Department of Defense (DoD).

Allegations by those within the defense infrastructure suggest that Prince's FSG is likely assisting Jinping's administration in its mass repression of ethnic Uighurs and other Muslim tribes in Xinjiang, an autonomous region of far northwestern China, while simultaneously aiding a strategic US competitor's geopolitical designs.

FSG, according to reports, was created by Prince and Chinese backers from CITIC — who control almost $1 trillion in assets — specifically to secure transit infrastructure supporting the Beijing Belt and Road initiative, including aviation, logistical, and other security services.

Not confined to Asia, FSG has profited from guarding Somalian free-trade zones and operating what is claimed to be medical-air transport in Kenya.

Although FSG has not been a star on Wall Street, investors note Prince's easy access to Capitol Hill and his firm's deep pockets.

The recent China deal is evidence that Prince — the younger brother of Betsy DeVos, US President Donald Trump's pick for the nation's Secretary of Education — is "serving the national interest of China, which competes directly with the US," noted DoD National Defense University professor Sean McFate, cited by Bloomberg.

China remains one of a handful of nations banned under US regulations for Americans to directly offer for-profit military services.
