Wow, even TonyBlinken says it was fraudulent... a country with lots of oil reserves who is not friendly to the corporatocracy? Very strange Tony would pile on with the rest of the fascists.... unless he is one too of course.... Anyways, as libertarians i suppose you want all that oil for American corporations to exploit.. maybe the good people at Blackrock can help out.. they're doing great things in the Ukraine. Venezuela is next on the agenda obviously.... and a color revolution is the way to go... Is Soros on your team too?

My preferred solution would be for the Venezuelan people to throw off the scam of "government" completely and see the ownership of the reserves transferred to the employees of the state-owned oil company and the land owners of Venezuela. It is easily hijacked "government" that allows foreign powers to come in and reassign oil properties to outside corporations.

I don't think giving the resources of Venezuela to the wealthy elite of the countryis much of a solution. The whole idea of a socialist revolution is to get a better deal for the peasantry. A lot of the nations of south and central America were right wing military dictatorships supported by the American elites who govern. The socialist revolutions were a relief from that sort of tyranny. I'm not really a socialist cause i'm not a statist. But definitely the lesser evil is the socialist version. Of course they will be sanctioned by the US and the people will suffer. Pick your poison!

Hmmm. Others in the know are calling out Maduro's opponent as an CIA asset. "Civil unrest" is just another color revolution in the works. Blinken and Musk declaring the election results are fraudulent should be enough to tell us that the opposite is true. I am mystified by this article. Interesting to see how you dig so deep in some cases and not in others. Maybe follow The Last American Vagabond for a different perspective.

Can you drop a link for the CIA accusations. We have a staff member on the ground in Venezuela and I am letting her make the editorial decisions on our coverage. I have no doubt the US is probably going to regime change the country and take over the oil reserves but any "government" is better than a commie "government" running hyper-inflation on the population. I don't believe in "democracy" but our team member assures me that the population is against Maduro and that the regime lost the election... no doubt the US helped sway that...

Here is a link to the TLAV episode that included coverage of what is unfolding in Venezuela: https://www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/bird-flu-israel-syria-venezuela/. Venezuela conversation beings at 59:26 mark and includes an interview with Anya Parampil (which I have not been able to locate with a time mark), and another with Raya Khalek at the 1:30:00 is mark in which she talks about how the US has been unhappy with Maduro's nationalizing of Venezuela's resources and has attempted to destroy Venezuela's economy and instigated violent coups in order to get Maduro in line. Lots of other input about how it is the US's actions that have created hardship for the Venezuelan people, not Maduro. This is, after all, the US's pattern, so not so very hard to believe. Also discussion of how the "opposition" reached out to the Zionists to enlist their aid in creating a regime change prior to the election. Here are the show links related to Venezuela:

Communism is dead they said. I think they lied it's truth they hide for it still survives in the good old USA, hey. Right here it lives and here it breaths and feeds upon our liberties and you have the nerve to say it's not that way? Hey…

The twisting thread shall stretch and snap, the straw shall break the camels back and tables when they turn shall bring a swift end, friend. Yes things divine can wrench and bend the well laid plans of mice and men and when they do what will you traitors do then? When, we'll be taking the traitors away ha ha… We'll be taking the traitors away ho ho, he he, ha ha… To the prison camp where a cells been awaiting them all this time and I'll be happy to see their face in it's proper space filling jail space, as we're taking you traitors away ha ha....
