Inhumane sanctions, seizures and freezing of assets, then redirecting them to the self declared presidential usurper pro US and US backed Guaido.

What valid basis do you have that the elections of Chavez and Maduro were anything but peaceful, fair and transparent other than the propaganda and lies of the corporate controlled US lapdog media? Maduro was elected by 2/3 majority.

The US, which seems to be governed more and more by presidential executive orders, since his oliness and now trumpy, without any evidence to the contrary, declared them invalid and immediately forced more sanctions against Venezuela directed at curtailing crucial financial interactions with the Venezuelan State with the intention of “making the economy scream”, as famously stated in the case of Chile in the 1970s.

Oh, I see, rather than hear the truth about American Imperialism you just "stick your fingers in your ears and hum real loud", "stick your head in the sand", eh? The ugly reality behind the mirror is that the U.S. government has a long and unbroken record of working with fascists, dictators, druglords and state sponsors of terrorism in every region of the world in its elusive but relentless quest for unchallenged global hegemony and power and corporate exploitation.

The US government has no interest in protecting democracy or improving the humanitarian crisis, the US is responsible for, in Venezuela, and is mostly concerned with taking control of the oil market and maintaining US influence in Latin America. The sanctions on PDVSA freeze the company's assets in the US, as well as prohibits US firms and citizens from conducting business with PDVSA. According to the Treasury Department's guidance, purchases can be made from PDVSA or its entities until April 28 provided that the payments are made into a blocked account that Maduro's government cannot access.

In fact, you hide and watch, the illegal sanctions the US has levied against Venezuela's state oil company, PDVSA, will cause gasoline prices to rise for US consumers.

For years, the US has sought to overthrow the Venezuelan government partly because of the way Maduro and his predecessor Hugo Chavez have used oil as an "instrument of countering US hegemony" in the Western Hemisphere. It is also no secret that Chavez and Maduro have angered the US by seeking stronger economic relations with Iran, China and Russia.

The US' sole purpose is to make Venezuela's economy fail and force regime change to a more pro-US one. Of course, if that doesn't work the standard US response to effect regime change will be a military one.

The US political monkeys and their organ grinding corporations need to let Venezuela buy and sell like everyone else and mind it own fv(k!n9 business and maybe worry more about election interference and fraud here at home!

Yes, I have a clue and the "bad things" ... (show quote)

Where do you hear this crap from ? Venezuela is suffering for the same reasons Cuba suffered. It is run by Marxist Dictators who are the enemy of my country and their own people.

Chavez took a nation with vast oil reserves and destroyed the national oil company by stealing it's capital and manning it with political flunkies.

I read sources other than the approved propaganda and lies of the lapdog corporate owned media. Venezuela is suffering from a manufactured crisis because Chavez did not and Maduro will not fall into lock-step with the US and its corporate elite and allow them to exploit Venezuela's vast oil and natural resources for their gain. Chavez was using those profits to actually help the people of Venezuela. Read about his Bolivarian Revolution.

Here is a December 2014 article in Global Research by Mike Whitney. If you care to get a truer perspective of geopolitics and how the US and its "allies" manipulate commodities, especially oil and gas,and use sanctions to destroy other countries' economies and currencies for political and economic gain against those that do not bow to US corporate demands and use the lapdog corporate owned media to brainwash the American sheople into believing whatever lying bullshit narrative they want.

Here is just a smaple:

"Could it be that the media is trying to shape public opinion on the issue and, by doing so, actually contribute to the plunge in oil prices?

Bingo. Alert readers have probably noticed that the oil story has been splashed across the headlines for weeks even though the basic facts have not changed in the least. It’s all a rehash of the same tedious story reprinted over and over again. But, why? Why does the public need to have the same “Saudis refuse to cut production” story driven into their consciousness day after day like they’re part of some great collective brainwashing experiment? Could it be that every time the message is repeated, oil sells off, and prices go down? Is that it?

Precisely. For example, last week a refinery was attacked in Libya which pushed oil prices up almost immediately. Just hours later, however, another “Saudis refuse to cut production” story conveniently popped up in all the major US media which pushed prices in the direction the USG wants them to go, er, I mean, back down again.

This is how the media helps to reinforce government policy, by crafting a message that helps to push down prices and, thus, hurt “evil” Putin. (This is called “jawboning”) Keep in mind, that OPEC doesn’t meet again until June, 2015, so there’s nothing new to report on production levels. But that doesn’t mean we’re not going to get regular updates on the “Saudis refuse to cut production” story. Oh, no. The media is going to keep beating that drum until Putin cries “Uncle” and submits to US directives. Either that, or the bond market is going to blow up and take the whole damn global financial system along with it. One way or another, something’s got to give.

Read it and tell me what is not true:

The average sheople is not privey to the truth. But the corporations and the elite, along with their political puppets are and can "capitalize" on those intentional market manipulations to their benefit. Remember it is not against the law for politicans to use insider information for their monetary gain.

Chavez like any good Marxist stole the working capital of the national oil company and used it to pay out goodies to his supporters. Oil production is a capital intensive business. That is why oil production in an oil rich country keeps going down.

Also, tell me how Chavez and now Maduro stay in power ? I will tell you. They have done it the same way Hitler did it. What good is power if you can be voted out ? As bad as American politics is, our founders set it up so that no one faction could stay in power for long periods of time. As bad as the Democrat-Republican rivalry is, it is our only protection. Every 4 to 8 to 12 years we throw the bums out.

Hitler made sure that once he was elected Chancellor that the other parties could never topple him. That is what Chavez and Maduro also did.

You are wrong in your analysis. I do not get why you defend Chavez and Maduro. Is it because they are anti capitalists. I get from your posts that you hate capitalism. Or am I mistaken ?
