Venezuela Under Washington’s Gun

- A
full court press is taking place in Florida
today (Presidents Day) with Republicans,
Democrats, expatriates from Cuba and Venezuela
and the fascist warmonger ministry of propaganda
that constitutes the US media all denouncing
Maduro and blaming him for the hardships imposed
on Venezuelans by Washington’s sanctions and
attacks on Venezuela’s currency . Even “liberal”
NPR is reading off the same fascist warmonger
script. NPR managed to report on Venezuela
without mentioning the sanctions, without
mentioning the theft of Venezuela’s gold
foolishly entrusted to the US and British
central banks, or the orchestrated protests
funded by US-financed NGOs that are small in
comparison with the crowds that support Maduro
that are never mentioned in the US media. In
other words, NPR is just another part of the
whorehouse brigade.
What
Americans forget, or never knew, is that the
Cuban expatriates are the descendents of the
corrupt Batista crowd that had looted Cuba for
years and were thrown out of Cuba by Castro. The
Venezuelan expatriates are from the rich elite
that couldn’t adjust to Chavez running the
country for the people instead of for them, and
some of these expatriates were involved in the
failed CIA coup against Chavez. All of these
expatriates are nothing but shills for
Washington’s takeover so that they can get back
in on the take.
It is
discouraging to see Trump, who the Democrats,
the media, and the military/security complex are
attempting to chase out of office participate in
the attempt to chase Maduro out of office.
It is
discouraging to see Washington’s vassals in
Europe and in the Organization of American
States throw all truth to the wind and line up
with Washington’s lies.
It is
discouraging that within Western civilization
lies dominate all aspects of domestic and
international policy. Truth has been stamped
out.
