He can haul some some his closest friends back there as well. Perhaps that is where he was hatched and after Hugo he became the bitter, angry, capitalist, psychopathic, wandering vagabond we see around here.
Venezuela : Leadership Crisis
- Thread starter Ocean Breeze
- Start date
Those poor people, having to live above all that oil. Somebody should rescue them, Yes?
Perhaps the IMF has a few suggestions, . . . . the US plan seems to be getting 'bogged down'. There is never a 'good version' of that term.
The CIA controls the world cocaine trade and has since WW11. If Venezuela is a superhighway then it is the Yanks who have made it appear as such. Besides, when do right wingers quote CNN propaganda? You can't tell the right from the left any more... Oh I've been saying that for years. Sheeple don't seem to know that the left wing and the right wing belong to the same bird.
Are FOX and CNN changing places?
Not since the 90's Cliffy the CIA was financing the rebels through drug trafficking then it got away on them

Russian troops are there, too. Given their history, squashing people in the streets under the treads of tanks is just okey-dokey with them. Trump ... embargo Russia, some more? Not asking as the Russians own his oorange ass with that blackmail video that MI6 stumbled upon.

Blackwater's Founder Plotting to Send 5k Mercenaries to Topple Maduro – Report
The development comes amid calls by Venezuelan self-proclaimed interim President Juan Guaido, supported by the US, to ensure the “definitive cessation of the usurpation” of legitimately elected President Nicolas Maduro as part of his so-called Operation Freedom, which has repeatedly failed to attract a large audience in the country.
Blackwater's Founder Plotting to Send 5k Mercenaries to Topple Maduro – Report
The development comes amid calls by Venezuelan self-proclaimed interim President Juan Guaido, supported by the US, to ensure the “definitive cessation of the usurpation” of legitimately elected President Nicolas Maduro as part of his so-called Operation Freedom, which has repeatedly failed to attract a large audience in the country.
Erik Prince, the founder of the Blackwater private security contractor and a supporter of US President Donald Trump, has offered to deploy an army of mercenaries to help oust Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro, Reuters reported, citing four sources with knowledge of the matter.
According to the report, over the past few months Prince has been seeking investment and political backing for his alleged plans from Trump supporters and well-off Venezuelans living in exile.
In a series of private meetings, the Blackwater mastermind reportedly pitched an idea to deploy 5,000 soldiers-for-hire from Colombia and other South American nations on behalf of Juan Guaido, Venezuelan opposition leader and self-proclaimed interim president.

In a series of private meetings, the Blackwater mastermind reportedly pitched an idea to deploy 5,000 soldiers-for-hire from Colombia and other South American nations on behalf of Juan Guaido, Venezuelan opposition leader and self-proclaimed interim president.
Reuters noted that neither the White House, nor the Maduro government had responded to the comments, while Edward Rodriguez, a spokesman for Guaido, said that the country’s opposition officials had not discussed security ops with Prince.
As for Prince, his spokesperson Marc Cohen said earlier this month that the Blackwater founder had “no plans to operate or implement an operation in Venezuela”.
However, according to Reuters, the director of investor relations at Prince’s private equity firm Frontier Resource Group, Lital Leshem, confirmed his interest in a Venezuela mission.
“He does have a solution for Venezuela, just as he has a solution for many other places”, the media outlet cited her as saying.
Two insiders with direct knowledge claim that Prince had requested at least $40 million in funds from private investors, as well as billions of dollars in frozen Venezuelan assets – although it remains unclear how the Guaido-led opposition could get hold of them.

Venezuelan Coup Attempt Sputters as Majority of Military Remain Loyal to Maduro
The Venezuelan opposition will not be able to achieve success on its own. Instead leaders of the opposition will try to pull larger world powers like the U.S. and NATO into the conflict so that they can topple the Maduro regime.
CARACAS, VENEZUELA — (Analysis) In an act described by the Venezuelan government as a small coup attempt, self-declared “President” of Venezuela Juan Guaidó appeared in a video alongside uniformed men who he claimed were a number of military defectors, declaring this as the “final phase” of Nicolás Maduro’s presidency.
The Venezuelan military generals and the vast majority of the military have pledged their loyalty to Maduro, who urged them to have nerves of steel.
The counter-revolutionary “activist” backed by the US State Department Leopoldo Lopez was among the instigators of this “final phase” coup. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza claims that the U.S. likely paid a guard to let him out of house arrest to join the coup.
Arreaza assured the public that this coup attempt will be contained and thousands of pro-Maduro protesters have taken to the streets and have surrounded the presidential palace.
The government of Mexico has expressed concern over possible bloodshed, as live rounds were being used as well as tear gas. Mexico has not recognized Guaidó as the leader of Venezuela, but has offered to broker a peace process.
Bolivian President Evo Morales has expressed his disdain for the coup attempt. He released a statement via twitter:

You and Trump say he's a fiction writer. Trump has never once spoken the truth in his entire life and your affiliation with Trump, Walter, makes you highly suspect as well.
It must be true if you deny it.
