VENEZUELA, BECAUSE THEY FORGET

Maduro stole the most recent national presidential election in Venezuela.  This is the central point of any discussion about the future of Venezuela.  Worse, and more telling, is how he has savaged the political opposition.  Also, there was the leading candidate Maria Corina Machado who was barred from running but eventually won the Nobel Peace Prize.

These developments, by themselves, would not seem to be a big deal.   However, the cheating was big enough for Dr. Sachs, better known as Dr. Shill, to ignore in a recent shill attack on President Trump’s military build up against Maduro.  Instead, Dr. Shill insists on the most superficial argument of all – stealing oil.  If you want to use Iraq as an example, other countries have since profited from oil deals with Iraq and not America.  It remains a “shiny object” argument that avoids key facts such as the stolen election.

The other key fact Dr. Shill overlooks is the tight linkage between the Maduro government and the drug trade.  Tren De Aragua is just the most obvious part of this arrangement.  We are only beginning to learn about the Cartels of the Sun as well.  Some argue that drugs from other countries are in greater volume, but no other country has the kind of tight linkage seen in Venezuela.

It is offered for Dr. Shill’s consideration that when the dust finally settles on the conflict over Venezuela, we will learn of a vast and coordinated plan to destroy America with drugs, gangs, human trafficking and other criminal activities.

Also, in a previous article in YTN the other connections Venezuela has to causing harm in America are laid out as well.  Did Dr. Shill point any of this out?  Of course not.  So, all of this is presented here because he, and those who listen to him, forget the more fundamentally important facts about Venezuela.

Also, DNI Tulsi Gabbard has suggested America is making a mistake by going after Venezuela.  She is right that America has a terrible track record when it comes to regime change.  That said, there is another piece of history to remember:  Panama.  The regime change America brought there did work.  The parallels between Noriega and Maduro are worth noting.  Moreover, you will find Maduro to be far worse, far more diabolical.  Again, the links with the drug trade and the harm it causes America must be dealt with.

Military intervention would seem to be the worst of all options.  If this is to work, there needs to be a real political opposition which can create a new government.  That is lacking and it must be done as soon as possible.
