The situation in Venezuela is incredibly frustrating for me. Hugo Chavez seemed to care deeply about his people. I wasn't there, so I cannot say for sure, however, the few documentaries I had seem demonstrated this. Chavez also enjoyed talking smack about the United States, so when he suddenly fell ill and died - well, that looked like the fingerprint of our deep state. Then I hear that after Chavez died - all of the sudden the military and government turn corrupt and deal drugs. My initial thought was:
"No one deals drugs in the America's without the CIA's blessing ..."
The fact is, that the U.S.A. has actively practiced destabilization of our Southern Neighbors for hundreds of years now. There is much to Argentina's downfall that, I wouldn't be surprised to learn, was at our hands. Many do not realize that Argentina was an economic powerhouse in the 1800's to early 1900's that easily rivaled the U.S.A. They easily could have emerged as the global powerhouse of the Western world.
We also remember the Iran Contra scandal and we know what torture and destruction we've put Central America through. So frankly, I don't buy it. I am not a Socialist, I think there are great flaws in Socialism, however, wouldn't it be just like our government to destabilize Venezuela and then go around, proudly stating "See what Socialism does?"
Another interesting point is that Chavez was talking about establishing Venezuela's own gold backed currency, before he suddenly became terminally ill and passed away.
Guess what? Same with Iraq and Gaddafi in Libya. Now why would the USA want to rub out any potential gold backed currencies? Maybe because Nixon took us off of the gold standard? Maybe because the only thing keeping the US Dollar the global reserve currency is our tenuous status as the petro dollar? Only you can decide because they sure as heck will never willingly tell us!
upvoted and followed, you know what's up
Venezuela backing their fake Central Bank run currency with gold has helped in the complete ransacking of their natural resources. Now they are selling their gold assets to pay the fake debts for dimes on the dollar, same with their oil. Venezuela is one of the richest countries in the world with natural resources, but socialism and central banking killed that country. It was a moronic idea to keep the same socialist policies, and to do nothing about the Central Bank's control of the currency, then backing up a fake currency with gold means the Venezuelans have to pay the fake debt in actual gold, which is moronic. The private banks have written that they want a return to a gold standard, and they don't care what backs up their currencies whether it be gold, or thin air, so long as private central banks control the currency.
This return to a "gold standard idea" is bad economics, unless you are willing to end the central banks control over the currency you will not be able to fix anything, no matter what you back their currency with.
Hey Titus, thanks for the elucidation. I had no idea that they had succeeded in establishing a gold backed system. Which, FWIW, I am not here to champion or deride. I'm more interested in truth. So, how are you so sure that our deep state has nothing to with what is occurring down there? I smell scam!
Are there any detailed write ups that you are aware of, detailing the supposed fake debt, how it was established, by whom and why is it being honored and by whom?
Interesting sentence:
"This return to a "gold standard idea" is bad economics, unless you are willing to end the central banks"
Could also be said like:
"Central banks owning and controlling our currency, without citizen oversight and transparency, is very bad economics. Establishing a currency backed by real value as opposed to debt, is a good start at returning to sane economic policy. "
The Central Bank of Venezuela has no oversight, it oversees your government, just like the Federal Reserve in the USA. Same Central banking system tied into the World Bank. It's main job is to ensure the currency never sees to much inflation. So let me ask you, how much is your central bank run currency worth these days? Think they have done a good job at keeping inflation at bay, which is their only reason to exist. No, they have sucked Venezuela dry and they will continue to do so forever.
The deep state is highly involved in all this, watch my film. They are using various CIA affiliated NGo's to cause violence.
