"Washington targets Venezuela as promoter of terrorism"

“The US government has announced that Venezuela and Cuba along with some other countries have been included in a particular list of nations which Washington believes collaborate with terrorism”


My God, what an upside-down world it is.

Venezuela has been the target of a long series of terror attacks, many of them conducted openly by the United States, but here are US officials accusing Venezuela of promoting terror.

Here's just a portion of recent American activity against Venezuela and its twice-elected government...

Shutting down the country's electrical grid, several times, spoiling all the food in millions of poor people's fridges, as well as endangering those dependent on life-saving machines.

Imposing severe sanctions against the health and welfare of millions. Sanctions always disproportionately hurt the poor and vulnerable, and it is important to stress that the way the US uses them, they are simply illegal. They are American laws being applied to people who are not Americans and without the authority of any international organization such as the UN.

Imposing a naval blockade against the same poor people, something which is considered an act of war.

Stealing some of Venezuela’s national assets and turning them over to an unelected man who pretends he is president.

Interfering in the country's trade and commerce abroad in every way it can think of.

Sending a flotilla of gunboats, destroyers, into the area to intimidate.

Sending a group of private American mercenaries to kidnap or kill the President.

Putting a large bounty on the head of an elected government.

An earlier attempt to kill the President used a drone with explosives.

If that list doesn’t represent authentic terror, then I don't know what would.

Venezuela has done absolutely nothing a thinking person would regard as terror. No, Venezuela's "crime" is just peacefully conducting its own affairs with democratic elections and without American approval and supervision.

And just look at the set of unholy messes America's incompetent government has put itself into. It cannot conduct its own affairs, yet it insists on telling others how to conduct theirs.
