"SHOCKER: DOUBLE WHAMMY SHOCKER... CAITLIN JOHNSTONE IS CRAZIER THAT WE ORIGINALLY THOUGHT"
"We would never give up, and what couldn't be done with votes, we would do with weapons, we would liberate the [fatherland] with weapons." -- Nicholas Maduro
When was the last time I heard the term "Fatherland"...oh yeah...Adolf Hitler used that term a lot?
There ya go again talking when you should be listening Caitsy...ya little church burning Nazi.
It good to see these six individual military commanders sanctioned for their malfeasance, murder and mayhem. It no way is what you say anything close to the fucking truth. As we know you are incapable of the truth -- you do not know what it means. Your Socialist driven agenda for your taskmasters is what is important. And you will tell lies upon lies to complete that...
All along you have spoken about sanctions on the Venezuelan people, here is some of the proof that the U.S is sanctioning criminals who loot and oppress Venezuela and seize other peoples property. The regime of Maduro have seized the Kelloggs company; Good Year tire and other companies as part of their moving style of appropriating what is not theirs. Towards the kletocratic and corrupt style of the Kremlin.
"Let's all take a moment to collect ourselves after receiving this shocking, shocking, astonishing news."
I realize this is a shockingly shocking for you, but, as so many of these pernicious articles that you write, which stand in the way of the real truth coming the minds of your readers.
Your kool-aid induced psychedelic delusions is confusing when you claim one thing and then purport another. This matter of drug addiction and confusion it seems is a family thing...get help before its too late for you.
You have been claiming for so long that the sanctions have been against the people of Venezuela, when in fact the sanctions have been against individuals that are the criminals in this terrible and cruel regime.
"Former President Nicolas Maduro’s border blockades of trucks and ships loaded with humanitarian aid are the latest example of his illegitimate regime weaponizing the delivery of food and critically needed supplies in order to control vulnerable Venezuelans. We are sanctioning members of Maduro’s security forces in response to the reprehensible violence, tragic deaths, and unconscionable torching of food and medicine destined for sick and starving Venezuelans,” said Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin. “The United States strongly supports the efforts of Interim President Juan Guaidó, and Treasury will continue to target Maduro loyalists prolonging the suffering of the victims of this man-made humanitarian crisis.” -- U.S. Department of the Treasury

The "PARANOID AND OBESE BUS DRIVER", fears that boxes of food, toothpaste and toiletries, baby food and toilet paper might actually give some dignity and nourishment to people he is forcing into starvation by his destruction of the monetary system by his seizure of the banks to further his monetary controls. And now burning food. And shooting people trying to save burning food and Venezuelan people obtaining food.
"I see Sergei Lavrov has called a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo this week to inform him of what is already known, that the Kremlin is not happy with the "bus driver", and are interested in bilateral consultations on the Venezuela "topic". As Lavrov has blurted. And they would be willing, to talk him down of the edge. As they have huge, huge amounts of money invested there, and he is continuously defaulting on rather large billion dollar payments on these loans and they need full payment instead of these piddly handfuls of super inflated coins he keeps bringing to the Russian bank. So as a matter of business and bilateralism, because now they are concerned with now now"
"[The recent sanctions] In its minimal expression, it is the six highest-ranking military officers in the country, the commanders of each component of the Armed Forces-Army, Navy, Aviation, National Guard-of the Strategic Operational Command and the Minister of Defense.
These head the network of another 2,000 generals that Maduro has appointed during his years of mandate, among which are several hundred who have been granted control of economic sectors such as port activity, oil exploitation, gold mining and, more recently, the distribution of the country's food." -- New Action

Much of the country's infrastructure, oil, hospitals, gold, minerals and other resources, pharmaceuticals, food along with the military the police and intelligence community are controlled by these corrupt men. They control generals and high-ranking military people who are corrupted and control many of the companies that are in Venezuela. They practice the forcing of western companies into tough stuations, where those companies find it diffcult to find employee and resources to make their products, with a a million percentage inflation this year along, companies like good year had to give up and go, the Good Year infrastructure was seized.
The sanctioning of these individuals and their travelling abroad, their bank accounts abroad is paramount to the Venezuelan people achieving some power, some equality of footing aginst these usurpers, one cannot fight machines guns and snipers with sticks and stones.. These corrupt bastards burn food when it desperately needed. And shoot and bludgeon and torture and assassinate indiscriminately.
