Venezuela [is] in the limelight, on practically all the written, audio and visual mainstream media, as well as alternative media. A purposeful constant drip of outright lies and half-truths, "fake news", as well as misleading information of all shades and hues about Venezuela is
drumming our brains, slowly bending our minds towards believing that - yes, the US has a vital interest in meddling in Venezuela and bringing about "regime change", because of primarily the huge reserves of oil, but also of gold, coltan and other rare minerals; and, finally, simply because Washington needs full control of its "backyard".
BUT, (and yes, there is a huge BUT), as even some of the respected progressive alternative media pretend to know: Amidst all that recognition of the AngloZionist empire's evil hands in Venezuela,
their 'BUT' claims that Venezuela, specifically Presidents Chavez and now Maduro, are not blameless in their 'economic chaos'. This distorts already the entire picture and serves the empire and all those who are hesitant
because they have no clue, whom to support in this antagonistic US attempt for regime change.
For example, one alternative news article starts,
"It is true that some of Venezuela's economic problems are due to the ineptitudes of the Bolivarian government's "socialist command" economy, but this overlooks the role played by the United States, the United Nations, and the European Union....".
Bingo, with such a low-blow beginning,
the uninformed reader is already primed to 'discount' much of the interference by Washington and its minions. Some of the-so-called progressive writers have already been brain-smeared, by calling Nicolás Maduro a "dictator", when in fact,
there is hardly any country farther away from a dictatorship than Venezuela.
