Another great expose of the Dictator and Lizard Face trying to overthrow a democratically elected government.

Washington Seeks Regime Change in Venezuela



Just another in a long line of countries that have been overthrown by the White House and it's owners', the bankers.

On one hand you have the government of Venezuela that is socialist and has stolen billions from private citizens and companies to redistribute that money for a permanent voting block.

They have funded FARC to destabilize Colombia.

It is one of the most dangerous places on earth.

Maduro won the last election with 50.6% of the vote.

Even the most ardent backer of the bolivar revolution.. and the source of the "information" for the counterpunch article, Eva Gollinger, posted on her webpage that the US gives only a few million dollars to fund opposition activities.

A few million versus the billions made by the government through oil and the total control of all the media including the one Gollinger is the editor of doesn't really equate to an all out attempt to overthrow Maduro.

Now.. I am not in support of the US government going around the world and overthrowing every government that they don't like.

But... I can guarantee that Russia spends more than a few million a year on US-RT and I know Qatar paid $500 million for Current TV to start its Al Jazeera America..

Both of those platforms are intended to promote alternative news..

I happen to watch a little of both.

They are a little news and large gulp of propaganda.

Regardless of what they offer, they are media arms of their respective governments and they have a purposeful agenda.

Again.. I don't support nor do I want our government meddling in other countries internal affairs.

There is more going on in Venezuela to bring the people into the streets than the money coming from us..

Well I respectively disagree and I have a number of Venezuelan friends that would disagree with you. I used to do business in Venezuela back when it was a good little puppet of the the US, before Chavez. You know the period, when the American and European oil companies were raping the citizens.

While I really don't care for Socialist, I had to admire Chavez when he thumbed his nose at ole Georgie. But I do have to give it to him, he was beloved by his people in spite of US attempts to have discredited and thrown out. No matter the amount he stole for himself he used the countries resource and shared with the people, they all had a good way of life, not the usual methodology of Socialist.

But as to the US involvement, please read closely as you have misquoted the figures;



That's $3 million just to the Columbian Solidarity Centre. And why is the US State department funding foreign political activities. And $1.5 million in Venezuela goes a long way to promote unrest, especially with the food shortages and electrical outages caused by the anti-Maduro faction.

So you can put on your little rose colored glasses, I prefer to see thing clearly in the full light of day. I fight this utterly corrupt US government on a daily basis, I'm fully aware of their intentions.

I respect your opinion and the people that would refute mine.

I have several friends that live in Colombia that I routinely visit and I can tell you that FARC and their kidnapping has had many in Colombia living in fear.

Since you didn't address it, I will suppose you don't want to refute where their funding comes from.

Chavez attempted for years to use FARC to create a bolivar revolution in Colombia. So I shed few tears for someone doing it to them.

I also find it interesting that you are opposed to stealing money from the American people and transferring it to others, but it isn't that big of a deal for the socialists to do it..

I don't look at things with rose colored glasses.

The crime and murder rates in Venezuela are staggering.. A tremendous rise during the bolivar years in power.

Things happen when people are living in fear for their lives..

Ask any Colombian that came into contact with FARC..

Never made it to Columbia, every time I was scheduled to make the trip something happened to make it unwise to go there. But still I do have many Colombian acquaintances but few Colombian friends due to living in South Florida for more than 30 years. I find the Colombian people to be the most deceitful of all South America and that's a pretty tall order considering Brazil.

And being this post is about the US government funding overthrow of other governments, Venezuela in this case, what does Colombia have to do with it. I could care less who funds some Colombian fascist group. They all hate each other.

And Colombia's relevance to this topic is only that the US is funding Solidarity Centre to help overthrow the Venezuelan government.

And I do detest Socialism and as such find it interesting that Venezuela is a Socialist country that gives to the people what is rightfully theirs'. That is a large deviation from the standard Socialist philosophy. And as such, the people like their government, especially Chavez and that is part of the topic of this post.

Crime rates, again what does that have to do with the topic of the post. This is not the travel section but Politics and Current Events and the event of this post is the US interfering with another countries government.

Venezuela's President severed diplomatic relations with Panama Wednesday, accusing the Central American nation of being a "lackey" for the United States in a conspiracy plot against his government.
He accused Panama of pushing for regional organizations to intervene in Venezuela. As a result, Maduro said he was cutting off diplomatic and political ties and freezing trade relations with Panama's current government "in defense of the homeland's sovereignty."

a Wanna-be Hugo!

Yep, the US overthrow team had a heck of a time with Chavez and even when they thought they succeeded, he came back with a vengeance and they got egg, much like Odumbo and Ukraine.

But Maduro hasn't earned his stripes and isn't old papa Hugo. Maybe he should offer them an Odumbophone, worked for Odumbo.
