Think back to all the celebs and other useful idiots who lauded President Chavez’s socialist revolution, which led to the destruction and ruin of Venezuela, as all socialist revolutions do. The horror that the people of Venezuela have endured is ignored by the left. Worse, they want it to continue. Vile jihadi Jew-hater Ilhan Omar, new face of the new Nazi party, the Democrats, supports the world’s worst economic-cum-humanitarian disaster and opposes helping the people of Venezuela.
Hundred of thousands have taken to the streets to protest Maduro’s regime in the past week. Amid the furor, opposition leader Juan Guaidó has declared himself president, prompting declarations of support from the United States, United Kingdom and most of Latin America, and calls for new elections.
Last week, the White House recognized Juan Guaido, Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro’s main political opponent, as the country’s interim president. Trump agreed with the Venezuelan National Assembly’s recent decision to declare Maduro’s election was illegitimate, which is was, but it’s how the left seizes control. “Today, I am officially recognizing the President of the Venezuelan National Assembly, Juan Guaido, as the Interim President of Venezuela,” Trump said in a statement at the time.
The Associated Press reports that Trump and Guaido also agreed to regular communication to support Venezuela’s path back to stability and to rebuild the relationship between the two nations.
Ilhan Omar Opposes Sanctions on Venezuela
Venezuela continues to be the world’s worst economic-cum-humanitarian disaster. The economic policies of the Maduro administration have largely been an attempt to replicate the socialist welfare policies of late Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, who presided over the country at a time……
Venezuela’s Juan Guaido Thanks Netanyahu for Recognizing Presidency
TEL AVIV – Venezuela’s self-proclaimed interim leader Juan Guaido thanked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for recognizing his government on Sunday.
In a tweet thanking the Israeli leader, Guaido made a comparison between his own political journey and the Holocaust.
“Seventy-four years ago, the Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated, and today, just as our country is also fighting for its freedom, we thank the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu for the recognition and the support,” Guaido wrote.
On Sunday, Netanyahu released a video statement in English.
“Israel joins the United States, Canada, most of the countries of Latin America and countries in Europe in recognizing the new leadership in Venezuela,” Netanyahu said.
Last week, the Trump administration allegedly requested that Israel publicly endorse the U.S.’s efforts to force Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to resign and to back Guaido as the interim president.
Israel reportedly demurred, fearing that enraging Maduro could endanger members of the 6,000-strong Venezuelan Jewish community.
After Sunday’s recognition, U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman lauded Jerusalem for “standing with the people of Venezuela and the forces of freedom and democracy.”
Trump’s special Mideast envoy, Jason Greenblatt, also praised Israel for its “courageous stand in solidarity with the Venezuelan people.”
At the United Nations on Saturday, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called on the international community to put a stop to Venezuela’s “nightmare” and start supporting Guaido.
“Now is the time for every other national to pick a side,” Pompeo told the Security Council. “No more delays, no more games. Either you stand with the forces of freedom, or you’re in league with Maduro and his mayhem.”
Pompeo named American diplomat Elliott Abrams as the Trump administration’s new special envoy to Venezuela. Pompeo described Abrams as a “seasoned, principled, and tough-minded foreign policy veteran.” He said Abrams will be responsible “for all things related to our efforts to restore democracy in Venezuela.”
Abrams, a veteran of the Bush and Reagan administrations, is known for his pro-Israel views and is close to Netanyahu.
Senior Palestine Liberation Organization official Ahmad Majdalani decried the Trump administration’s support of Guaido, saying it was “an extension of the Trump administration’s policy of denying the will of peoples.”

Juan Guaido to UK: Don’t give gold to Maduro
By Lauren Said-Moorhouse, CNN
Updated 6:11 AM ET, Mon January 28, 2019
London (CNN)Venezuela’s self-proclaimed interim leader, Juan Guaidó, has called on British authorities to prevent President Nicolas Maduro from removing any of the country’s gold held in the UK’s central bank as the country’s political crisis continues to deepen.
Guaido said government officials loyal to Maduro were attempting to sell off its foreign gold reserves in the UK and relocate the profits to the central bank of Venezuela, Reuters reported.
“I am writing to ask you to stop this illegitimate transaction,” Guaido wrote in letters sent to British Prime Minister Theresa May and Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of England. “If the money is transferred … it will be used by the illegitimate and kleptocratic regime of Nicolas Maduro to repress and brutalize the Venezuelan people.”

Chavez Maduro nationalized any profitable business and turned it over to their cronies to loot. The forced the oil companies to hire their party apparatchiks to no show high pay jobs and fire the people that actually got the work done and drove the oil industry into the ditch. Now they have a 1.3 billion percent inflation rate and they are screaming to anyone who will listen (democrat lefties) THAT IT’S TRUMP’S DOING. Pathetic but that’s what the dems have planned for this country.
Freedom for the African slaves enslaved from Saudi Arabia to Mauritania.
I declared myself president of the world & the new UN.
I invite all to recognize my presidency.
We need a global government that protects the ethical values of truth, justice, love, American English, friendliness, ecology, human rights, global imperialism, freedom from religion & to atheism, healthy food (see DrAxe.com), permanent cultivation of ecological best quality basics, support for self-realisation & the outlawing of incitement to the unjust Muhammad-law, war & tyranny globally.
Today Africans are enslaved, castrated, divorced, beaten & killed in Saudi Arabia & enslaved in the UAE, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, Lebanon, Bahrain, Iraq, North-Sudan, Libya (surge), Algeria (surge), Mauritania (20 percent), Niger, Mali, Somalia, Nigeria in emulation of unjust Muhammad who started the global African slave-trade by saying his unproven deity had turned Africans black so Africans’ descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks (see Wikiislam).
Mr. Juan the Turd knows nothing about governing being just a puppet being used by greedy capitalists! Maduro was voted in and will remain the rightfully elected President per one of the sovereign people! Trump disobeys the will of the people as we do not want Americans dying in a useless war based on greed!
it devolved out of pure greed and corruption. they sucked the energy and the money out of the system and put it in their pockets. now they attempt to transfer gold to the UK, where like arafat remember him, much of it would be used by maduro and his loyalists to buy themselves a luxurious life while the people starve and die in the streets of venezuala. socialists communists and muslims are of a piece lately. no Constitutional law for those guys. it’s too hard when you love being a dictator or a cult leader. the terrible 21st century. go figure.
More of socialism’s failed “social justice” in Venezuela.
