When you
hear Washington's hawks making announcements about a 'dictator', you
should start to worry. We've seen this scenario endless times. The
target is, one more time, Venezuela and the socialist government of
Nicolas Maduro. One must be extremely naive to believe that the US
banking/corporate puppets care about anything else than Venezuela's
rich oil resources.
The US
empire has lost so much credibility through endless wars based on big
lies, orchestrated coups especially in Latin America countries, and
all kinds of dirty interventions around the globe, that if there is
anyone who seriously believes that these hypocrites really care about
human rights, we should easily conclude that has been completely
brainwashed by the Western media propaganda.
The US real
agenda concerning Venezuela is so obvious that there is no need for
further investigation on the issue. But if you still want further
proof that oil is the real game, here is another piece of evidence,
provided by Miguel Tinker Salas, an expert on Latin America, who
explained on RT why the US has held off on sanctioning crude oil:
So far,
the sanctions have been against refined Venezuelan oil products and
against individuals in the Venezuelan government. They have not been
for the importation of crude. And the fact that they are not
including crude, speaks to that interdependence and the fact that US
oil producers and exporters don't want to upend the market. And
potentially, that 10% extraction of Venezuelan oil, could spike US
gasoline prices as well.
It
other words, the US hypocrites attempt to suffocate Venezuela, but
only as much as needed to overthrow Maduro, without risking a
boomerang effect against US oil market. It seems that we have a
carefully arranged wave of sanctions on behalf of the US empire that
aim to bring a right-wing puppet in power, and therefore, the
achievement of the final target: re-capturing Venezuela's oil
resources by the US big oil cartel.
As
political science expert George Ciccariello-Maher explained on
Democracy Now:
No one
is asking, or, referring to the leaders of various other countries as
dictators simply because their term has not been completed. And
Maduro’s term is completed next year. There will be elections. Any
constitutional reform that comes out of this assembly will go to a
public vote. And so, we’re talking about a country that’s had
more verified clean elections than really anywhere else on Earth in
the past 15 to 20 years. And it’s really difficult to hear anyone,
and much less the Trump regime, refer to this as a dictatorship.
From
Bush through Obama and into Trump, what we’ve seen is a desire to
have an active role in removing a chavista government from power. The
question has just been how to do so most effectively. There was a
coup in 2002 backed by the Bush administration, and it failed. It was
a kind of a disaster for the opposition politically. And so, then the
Obama administration continued to fund those very same coup leaders,
continued to fund people involved in that coup and right-wing
antidemocratic elements, and to do so openly. And so it’s no
surprise to see this happening now and to see the CIA expressing its
open desire to be involved, because this has been the role for so
long.
Everything
shows that the US empire is determined to orchestrate another coup
against the government of Venezuela, or, perhaps a civil war.
Washington's hawks are more anxious than ever because they understand
that it will become more and more difficult to intervene in case of a
radical political transformation of Venezuela towards real Socialism.
In
any case, the various open fronts they create through further
sanctions against Russia, provocative actions against China, Iran and
North Korea, provocative operations and further sanctions against
Venezuela, reveal emphatically one thing: panic ...
For the USA the war must be short, winnable and with no (nuclear) threat to the homeland. So Venezuela fits the bill.
