Fwd: U.S. Imperialism is running rampant in Venezuela

----- Forwarded message ---------
From: John H

Anyone who bothers to watch mainstream media news and particularly cable news is bombarded with endless propaganda about the dictatorship running Venezuela into the ground and creating misery for its people.   Perhaps I missed the disclaimer, but they don't appear to focusing on the right 'dictatorship' that is causing the real misery in that besieged nation.  That would be the United States and its military/security/corporate dictatorship which truly controls this nation with a heavy hand.  While we have elections in which candidates who receive the fewest votes manage to win elections, Venezuela has had elections which the world community had validated as some of the best and most honest in the world – multiple times in the recent past.  While, at the same time, the United States has been sending millions of dollars to opposition oligarchs in Venezuela in a twenty year effort to destabilize and overthrow a popular socialist government – and thus far has failed.  But one must ask just how much longer Venezuela can hold out against this illegal onslaught.  Here's hoping that the American people will catch on to this malignant deception and force our government to relent.

Attached is an exceptional essay by Jim Kavanagh explaining the situation now transpiring between the U.S. and Venezuela.  It is long and detailed, but I urge you to take the time to read all of it.  You won't regret the effort.

And, just to lighten the mood, I have included to cartoon below.
