Viva Maduro! The Chicago Teachers Union's Solidarity Trip To Venezuela | Wirepoints

If one wants an example of "Useful Idiots", this is pretty much the best you are going to find.

Surely this must be a parody, I thought when I first saw a story on it. A reader here sent me a link to something called FightBack!News. But I read it twice and plenty of other sources confirm it: The Chicago Teachers union has a delegation in Venezuela to show their solidarity with Nicolás Maduro’s socialist regime.

Their goals are “to learn what they could from Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution, exchange views on effective education and to show solidarity with the students, teachers and social movements of Venezuela,” says the story.

Ignoring the issues in Venezuela is obviously part of the tour, as is ignoring reality.


Among the wisdom they’ve acquired, according to the article, is that 75% of Venezuela’s budget goes to social programs. “What country in the world does that?” asked delegate Valeria Vargas. “In the USA, 50% of our budget goes to war.” She’s a math teacher, the article says, but maybe we should give her a break because 50% kinda sounds like the real number, which is 15%.

What about Venezuela’s rampant hunger, disease, childhood mortality, crime and despair that have filled headlines in recent years? Well, yes, there are “issues,” says the blog, but they all stem from American sanctions and meddling. “The mainstream news is right that there are some issues in Venezuela, but where they are wrong is who has created those issues,” it says.

What about how human rights organizations across the globe, from all political perspectives, have hammered the regime for its extrajudicial executions, attacks on journalists, harassment of human rights activists, horrible prisons, rampant corruption and more? No mention of that.

Maduro is looking for support in any way he can to prop up his regime.

Astonishing. Mountains of human skulls are the result of the ideology they just can't stop trying "once more" regardless of the same result. There's not a dunce cap big enough or chartreuse neon enough to fit the brainpans of such moronic boot lickers.

This is shameful. So glad I'm not part of any union like this, or the NEA. Booo
