I hope (and think) that Steve understands that I don´t mean any offence, when I disagree on a couple of important issues.


I’m a firm believer of adverse publicity...
All of the adverse publicity from Western Europe and the US never hurt the Ayatollahs of Iran: https://forums.richieallen.co.uk/showthr...p?tid=1340
Likewise Nicolas Maduro, who is such a wonderful president for big oil, is effectively supported by all of the fake stories that the US and EU want to get rid of him!

Even if I succeed in showing that all of the publicity from North America and West Europe has been boosting the popularity of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela for years, most people won’t believe that this is an intentional strategy.
On the other hand, portraying Juan Guaido as a “Yankee puppet” won’t make him popular for most Venezuelans...


The New York Times has actually reported that the threats from the US “simply feed Mr. Maduro’s conspiracy theories, undermine attempts to isolate the regime, and hamper efforts to support the Venezuelan people”!
In other words – support Maduro...

For many Venezuelan officials and their families the tourist attractions in the USA — like Miami, New York and Disney World – are a popular holiday destination.
In 2017, the Trump administration announced a travel ban on Venezuela. That the travel restrictions only applied to a tiny fraction of Venezuelans, shows that this won’t really have much influence on national security.
It seems unlikely that the travel restrictions would stop making the US a popular holiday destination for the elite of Venezuela.

Also interesting is that the US accused Venezuelan diplomats of running a scheme to sell passports to people in the Middle East (Arabs?) with “ties to terrorism”: http://web.archive.org/web/2017110100000...l-ban.html


Family of Maduro cronies are living abroad, like for example in Miami and Madrid...

Trump’s team has claimed that military leaders who don´t endorse Juan Guaido as interim president have to leave the US.
Officials “forgot” to specify the timeframe in which the US and its allies will start deporting the families of Maduro loyalists: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/polic...ry-leaders


It’s impossible to understand how Latin America is controlled without taking the Catholic Church into account.

On 4 February 2019, it was first reported that Nicolas Maduro had written a letter asking Pope Francis to “help us on the path of dialogue “ to mediate in the political situation in Venezuela.
Maduro told Sky Tg24: “The Pope knows that I am a practitioner of faith. I pray, a Christian of prayer and action. And with this spirit I asked for help”.

On his return trip from Panama a week earlier, continuing to the UAE, Pope Francis told reporters that it would be “pastoral imprudence” to choose sides in Venezuela (which he confirmed since) and called for “a just and peaceful solution” and: https://www.catholicworldreport.com/2019...venezuela/


I once or twice read claims that all installed puppet leaders are really freemasons. The following video shows that both Maduro and Juan Guaido are freemasons (or at the very least affiliated with freemasonry).
Which makes Guaido nothing but “controlled opposition”.

I once or twice read claims that all installed puppet leaders are really crypto-Jews (maybe crypto-Khazars?)...

Maduro and his predecessor, Hugo Chávez, have widely been accused of anti-Semitism.
Nicolas Maduro defended himself against these accusations by telling the world that he himself descended from Sephardic Jews:

My grandparents were Jewish, from a [Sephardic] Moorish background, and converted to Catholicism in Venezuela… The mother of [Minister of Communication and Information] Ernesto Villegas also comes from a similar background.

if there is a people that has a rich socialist tradition, it’s the Jewish people… We respect their history.
