Fuss in Venezuela

[Bleipriester]

Below is what happened (automatic translation):

"The Bolivarian National armed Forces, informs the people of VENEZUELA, that in the early hours of January 21, 2019, approximately at 02:50 AM, a small group of assailants attached to the command of Zone NRO 43 of the National Guard Bolivariana, betraying its Oath of fidelity to the Fatherland and its institutions, he submitted to Capt. GERSON SOTO MARTÍNEZ, commander of the police coordination post Macarao, from where they were moved in two (02) military vehicles; They then stormed the headquarters of the Urban Security detachment located in Petare, SUCRE municipality, subtracting a lot of weapons of war and kidnapping under threat of death, two (02) officers and two (02) National Guards of the aforementioned detachment.

The criminals were surrendered and captured at the headquarters of the Special Security Unit WARAIRA Repano, in trade, municipality LIBERTADOR, also attached to the National Guard Bolivariana; To where they had been directed, finding strong resistance on the part of the officers and professional troops there quartered. It should be noted that during the arrest the stolen armament was recovered and in the present moment they are providing information of interest to the intelligence agencies and to the military justice system. These subjects will be charged the full weight of the law.

The Bolivarian National armed Forces categorically rejects such acts, which are certainly motivated by dark interests of the extreme right and are contrary to the basic rules of military discipline, the HONOR and traditions of our Institution. In this sense, it ratifies to the collectivity that all its operative units, administrative dependencies and educational institutes are operating under complete and absolute normality. We also ratify our unrestricted attachment to the Constitution and the laws of the Republic.

"Chavez lives... The fatherland follows "

"Independence and Socialist homeland... We will live and conquer (win!!!)"

"AMY GOODMAN: So, let’s talk more about what you believe is the role of the United States in coalescing opposition to Maduro.

JORGE ARREAZA: They are the bosses of the opposition. They tell them what to do. Nothing that the opposition does is without the permission or authorization of the State Department, at least, here in the United States. And they confess this. They say, “We have to make consultations with the embassy. We have to make consultations with the Department of State.” It happens. I mean, they are not free. They are not independent.

But in spite of all of that, the president is trying to sit, again, with the opposition—with the democratic opposition, not the extremist opposition that makes violent demonstrations and burns people alive, no? And that is what he’s going to insist, on the dialogue. But this, what is happening now—John Bolton tweeting and doing communiqués, and Pompeo and everyone saying that Maduro is not the president, that he’s illegitimate, that he’s a usurper—come on, that is a coup d’état, again, against Venezuela."

And we were involved in another coup in Honduras in 2009. It's so hard to figure out why displaced peoples of South and Latin American may migrate.

It's always "The U.S." with you isn't it, comrade?

And if it was, who cares? The place is a shithole. Maybe we can pave it over, make a parking lot out of the country, and builds some McDonald's burger joints.

It would be an improvement.

Of course not, but no one can improve upon anything if all they can muster is blame for others. Blowback is blowback. Maybe if there was such a concept as responsibility there would be no need for blame. No one is coming to fix US, not your aristocracy, not your corporate state, not your political/economic system, nonadat. It will arise from the people or not at all.

Ah, Venezuela.
The delightful country liberal consider their ideal model for THEIR America if America is ever sufficiently foolish to hand them back power.

Yeah,

That Venezuela.

Venezuelan McDonalds? I bet they resemble the inner-city ones we have in this country. Good place to get robbed or murdered.

So who are the "good guys" in that country? Do they even have a faction of "good guys"?

Monroe Doctrine, bitch.

"In 1954, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles invoked the Monroe Doctrine at the 10th Pan-American Conference in Caracas (Venezuela), denouncing the intervention of Soviet Communism in Guatemala. President John F. Kennedy said at an August 29, 1962 news conference:

The Monroe Doctrine means what it has meant since President Monroe and John Quincy Adams enunciated it, and that is that we would oppose a foreign power extending its power to the Western Hemisphere [sic], and that is why we oppose what is happening in Cuba today. That is why we have cut off our trade. That is why we worked in the OAS and in other ways to isolate the Communist menace in Cuba. That is why we will continue to give a good deal of our effort and attention to it.[38]"

School shooting are small potatoes. They kill 'em by the thousands in Venezuela..

No need to. Just keep putting the screws to them and they'll welcome us with open arms. They might even elect a "Tropical Hitler" like that guy in Argentina.

Personally, I'd much rather see a Pinochet, but any conservative nationalist would do.
