Vice President Mike Pence says that the United States will announce new “clear actions” against Venezuela on Monday, promising there will be “concrete steps” announced during his speech, related to attempted US imports of aid into Venezuela.
Officials are offering no specifics on what this is going to entail, but
there are several comments to this effect in the past couple of days.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had similarly promised to “take action”
against the Maduro government.
Pompeo says the US intends action against anyone who opposes “the
peaceful restoration of democracy in Venezuela,” by which of course he
means the installation of opposition leader Juan Guaido as president.
Officials were saying on Friday that the US was likely to soon announce a new round of sanctions against Venezuelans trying to force President Maduro from office, and it may be that the promised actions will simply be that.
Ah yes, the “restoration of democracy”. Reminds one of John Kerry and his referring to a military coup in Egypt as the same. Amazing we can utter sh*t like that with a straight face.
The banality of evil, I believe Hannah Arendt called it. I call it Patrick Bateman Syndrome, after Bret Easton Ellis’ savage Reaganomics satire, American Psycho. The more twisted people become, the more disarmingly normal they appear. Normal is a performance and no one performs better than psychopaths. Just think of Ted Bundy. Such a nice guy. Such a straight face.
It just goes to show how effective propaganda can be on people. Look at how well it worked in Nazi Germany. We’re living in the 4th Reich when you look at it from a propagandist’s perspective.
cradle to grave system slaves.
venezuelan’s are 87% against American interference this should push that up to 95%
I had to laugh at “the peaceful restoration of democracy in Venezuela”.
With Elliott ‘Iran-Contra’ Abrams pushing buttons? Bolton? Peopeo? CIA? Atlantic Council? NATO?
But it’s is really no laughing matter with real people in Venezuela, their life, their blood, their families.
If too many people in the world get fed us with US antics they will sweep the US away with boycotts, sanctions, and their disgust. The US is on the march to a bad ending.
I totally agree with you; I also had to laugh at the “peaceful restoration of democracy in Venezuela”. With war criminal Elliott “Iran-Contra” Abrams pushing buttons? Bonkers Bolton? Pompous Pompass? CIA? Atlantic Council? NATO?
It’ no laughing matter, however, with real people in Venezuela – their lives, their blood, their families. If too many people worldwide get fed up with US antics they’ll sweep the US away with boycotts, sanctions, and their total disgust. The US is well on its way to a very bad ending.
Empires never have happy endings, nor do they deserve them. Renegades on both the left and the right will remain here to pick up the pieces and hopefully build something more humane on the ruins. We except that the rest of the world has to do what it has to do.

It is of course the Dems as well as the Republicans, and with no compunction after two years of pretending Russia has interfered with the US “fair election”, do something far worse and get rewarded by the Lima Group (led by Canada’s Ukiefied FM Chrystia Freeland), several “EU democracies” such as Macron’s yellow vested France,Five Eyes allies and sundry others claiming to be bastions of freedom. You couldn’t make it up, but poor Venezuela has put up with this for nearly twenty years, after decades of colonialism and poverty, for daring to elect governments which actually did something to help the people-so unAmerican.
Ah, the smell of regime change in the morning.
Yea .. Like Assad !
Same tears & teeth gnashing ?..
