How the American Imperialists are the real war criminals funding the CIA coup in Venezuela

Venezuela is yet another country that is the world news at present as millions of its people struggle under government and economic collapse. Is it due to a dictatorial leader or the fall in oil price, or is something more sinister going on? In this article I will provide you with statistics that show the real situation so that you can cut through the propaganda and see the bigger picture.

What do Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Venezuela all have in common? Oil. They are some of the biggest oil producers in the world with known reserves in the top nations globally. And Venezuela is at the very top of the list. Here are the 2016 actual annual figures for top oil countries globally:

1. Venezuela 300 mill barrels
2. Saudi 270,
3. Canada 150
4. Iran 110
5. Iraq 95
6. Kuwait 100
7. UAE 95

Well what else do Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Venezuela have in common? They are all being invaded, attacked, destroyed or sanctioned by the US. Anyone else see the irony? Is it just a coincidence that some of the biggest oil producers in the world are being attacked and invaded by the US? Obviously not. It’s an asset grab by an Imperialist tyrant and war criminal. Honestly, that’s what the US government is, according to the UN standards on war crimes. The US has broken the international law and should be held accountable in the International Criminal Court in the Hague. Iraq was smashed and around 1 million innocents killed in the US illegal invasion. Syria has been fighting US backed and funded terrorist Jihadi separatists in a proxy war against the US for years now and the country is in a state of devastation. Libya was illegally invaded by the US and its proxy NATO accessories to the crime and now a failed state with even more problems for Africa remains in their wake.

Also the entire EU has been invaded by refugees to such an extent that the EU will never be the same again. And many of the refugees were enabled by the vacuum left in Libya by the NATO invasion. Iran is under heavy sanctions that are crippling the nation and finally Venezuela is under even more crippling sanctions, all thanks to the US pirates of the Caribbean hijacking the entire country for its oil. Don’t believe me? Let’s look at the statistics and history.

Venezuela is currently on the verge of collapse and revolution, as people go without electricity and water due to the damage at the Simone Bolivar Hydroelectric power plant and dam . Did you know that the US trained Gaido, to be their puppet usurper to the throne in an attempt to incite regime change in Venezuela back in 2010 already? According to a Wikileaks document from 2010, the US government also discussed what might be the best plan to create an uprising in Venezuela, and one of their ideas was to sabotage the very same hydroelectric power plant that has been damaged today. It is in their playbook or strategies to cripple Venezuela.

It’s only thanks to Wikileaks that we know about this. What are the chances of such a coincidence? Also a few weeks ago the US was found to be flying guns into Venezuela in a private jet linked to the CIA. This is exactly how the US manipulates and interferes in foreign countries and then crushes them, swooping in to steal the resources immediately after. With 30 million people and the world’s largest oil reserves, Venezuela is in a key geopolitical position.

Let’s look at the historic facts. On January 23 the US acknowledged Juan Guaido as the president of Venezuela, calling Maduro illegitimate and morally bankrupt. Soon other first world western countries followed suit, blaming the collapse on socialism. However, here is the truth. We have to go back to Hugo Chavez, the original leader of the Bolivarian Revolution preceding Maduro. Chavez came into power in 1998, when the GDP was the same as it had been in 1963. The purchasing power of the average salary was a third of what it was 20 years earlier. The revolution was one of growth. GDP per capita grew by a factor of three between 1998 and 2014. Venezuela pulled ahead of other countries in the region economically, like Colombia, and became wealthier than Argentina on a per head basis for the first time since the eighties.

So the first decade under the socialist regime was a success, not a failure as the US keeps saying. By 2012 Venezuela had the lowest levels of inequality in the region. Poverty fell from 70% in 1996 to 21% in 2010. When Chavez died in 2013 more than 6% of GDP was spent on education with free nursery education and university degrees. In 1998 21% of the population was malnourished, which dropped to only 5% by 2012. Infant mortality halved between 1990 and 2010 while the number of doctors tripled. That was the legacy of Chavez. With this prosperity, just six years ago Venezuela was considered to be one of the happiest places to live on earth according to a World Gallup Poll.

With oil as the backbone of the Venezuelan economy, it has always been a big determining factor. Price started dropping in 2013 which caused much of their problems. As to how the price was manipulated back then to fall from $150 or more per barrel to under $50 is a topic for another time. Venezuelan production admittedly fell, but it fell in synch with her neighbor Colombia and stayed there until the US placed sanctions on Venezuela. In August 2017, at which point it dropped radically. As a result sanctions are costing Venezuela $6 billion a year as the US hijacks their money supply. That’s 5% of GPD and the equivalent of the country’s entire education program or health care. Currently they are sitting around more than 80 000% inflation as the money printing grew to combat the recession. So the currency collapsed.

Basically the US is starving Venezuela. They did this to Iran too, another big oil producer. Iran oil exports fell to 5 year low. Iran’s currency had an 80% deflation last year, under US sanctions. The US did the same to Nicaragua in the eighties causing recession and hyper-inflation there. Falling GDP and a decline in living standards, are a direct result of a strategic objective for the US. For example when Nixon placed sanctions on Chile in the 1970s, he said he wanted to “make its economy scream”. Socialism isn’t to blame for the economic crisis. America is.

Politically there has been a smear campaign from the UK as well toward the Maduro regime. From his original election they were calling Venezuela out for ballot box stuffing, but there had not been ballot boxes in Venezuela for a decade, It is all electronic voting. And the UK is saying the opposition party has been banned, but actually in the last election, Guaido’s party were never banned, they boycotted. It is a color revolution engineered by the US. Guaido is trying to do the bidding of America by trying to privatize the state oil supply.

Curiously it looks at first, according to popular western media, like only China, Russia and those other sanctioned countries I mentioned in the world recognize the current Maduro government, but what about India, Mexico, my country of South Africa, who all back the Maduro regime as legitimate? Why are they never mentioned in the media? It’s about priming you to accept the western political agenda and the media don’t show the real facts because they are bought by the same powers that be.

Back to the history where we see that Chavez won his first election – it was considered free and fair democratically in 1998. He was fully recognized internationally. He even instituted constitutional reform based on a public referendum, where the president or judiciary could be recalled by vote if the people wanted it, hardly the moves of a dictator. In fact, it’s the opposite, a reformer. This was considered legitimate by the rest of the world in the late nineties. In 2000 Maduro won his second election with 60% of the vote, beating his closest rival by more than 20%. It was considered a completely free and fair election by international observers. In 2001 he commented on the US plan to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, saying that you can’t defeat terrorism with terrorism, and this sparked his problem with the US. Venezuela and Cuba became close too. In 2002 there was an attempted coup but Chavez was returned to power within 48 hours.

A National referendum was held in 2004 over whether Chavez should be recalled and he won overwhelmingly, disputed by nobody in the world. In 2006 he had his third election and won by the largest margin ever in Venezuelan history with 63% of the vote. Voter turnout was the largest ever around 72% due to a drive to get the poorer citizens to get registered to vote. The Carter Center (ex US president Jimmy Carter) declared the elections free and fair. Venezuela was considered to be run by democratic institutions in 2006. In 2007 Chavez runs another referendum to make changes to the voting age and shift other powers but he loses that fairly and accepts it, not like a dictator at all. In 2012 Chavez wins yet another election, this time already suffering with Cancer, winning by 10%. They are considered some of the best elections in the world by the Carter Center on free elections. Chavez was one of the most successful presidents in South American history. He died in 2013 from possible poisoning by the US to bump him off with Cancer apparently.

In the US when a president dies, like J.F. Kennedy, the vice takes over. In the UK when they resign, like Blair or Cameron, their successor is not voted in by election either (Theresa May was not voted or elected in by the people). Yet in Venezuela, a country with right to recall, you have to have elections immediately, almost at a better standard than the top western countries. In the 2013 election, which was internationally audited, as you can do with electronic voting, Maduro wins by 1.5%. The opposition, who calls foul on every election since 2002 in Venezuela, is actually funded by the US state dept to the amount of $5 million a year. Contrary to this, In the US, foreign nationals or businesses are not allowed to fund political parties at all. It is considered criminal activity. Yet the opposition in Venezuela are categorically funded by the US and yet are supposed to be the beacons of democracy?

When the oil price fell, it destroyed 50% of the GDP, the opposition couldn’t win legally so they brought into question the regime. The popularity of these opposition parties however, is actually lower than that of Maduro. So the recent events with Guaido are a final throw of the dice by the US Imperialists. John Bolton, the hawkish adviser the President Trump, even openly said on a TV interview that the reason for getting rid of Maduro is to access their oil for profit-seeking American companies. They don’t even try to hide their intentions.

Ultimately to conclude it seems as if the northern countries have problems of their own, so Venezuela may actually endure. The Bolivarian Revolution is sturdier that the west thinks. France is just as much in a crisis of constitution. France would be crushed like Venezuela if it was also under the same sanctions today, as its GDP is falling due to the yellow vest protests. The CIA-backed attempt at regime change in Venezuela must be called out for the crime that it is and must be stopped. By international law you have no right to interfere in a county’s political process. America is the aggressor and the war criminal - remember Iraq. Get them and Guaido their puppet out of Venezuela once and for all. We condemn the Imperialist attempts by the elite to use America as its thugs to steal the resources of any country it chooses. Enough people have died for American opulence. Enough Venezuelans are starving because America wants more cheap oil to fund its subsidised gluttony. This tyranny has to stop, and I will do my part to stop it here with my words. Boycott America, sanction imperialist NATO tyrants, BDS Israel. These war criminals and genocidal maniacs are a blight to the planet and they must be stopped.
