even in the usa the police killed almost a thousand people in two thousand and eighteen. in some of those countries have called the military intervention in venezuela to protect so they say its citizens. but we have troops all over the world that places a very very far away venezuela is not very far away and the people are suffering and they're dying we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option if necessary. i'm always careful when we talk about south and central america and the cia there's a lot of stories. we are very hopeful that there could be a transition of venezuelans i was just down in mexico city and in bogota week before last talking about this very issue trying to help them understand the things they might do so that they can get a better outcome c.n.n.

can now confirm the president trump asked a number of his top foreign policy advisers last summer about the possibility of invading venezuela cuba. and now opposition needs that you won honda has declared himself the country's new president have you also the president of the united states for any military support in your struggle by as a way down on the amount of this is going up as it would in terms of taking decisions that even though this is a dictatorship the little people want to advance with whatever pressure is needed this is no time for dialogue this is time for. any negotiations with

nicolas maduro. no. the strange thing about the coup and threat of invasion is that they didn't just come from the usa. supporters of the right wing opposition asked for a foreign country to invade then as you. and i made the mistake of answering one of them. i told him it had happened in greece back in the days of nazi collaborators. i hadn't noticed that the person had hundreds of thousands of followers on twitter . dozens of them offered to teach me new expressions in english and spanish.

using teaching methods from the t.v. series norco's. call. easy one day. key. was when i received an interesting message. i had just been given my next mission my dear twitter friends explained that if i was a real journalist and wanted to understand venezuela i had to go to the border with colombia. they were absolutely right. that night i boarded a bus with dozens of venezuelans leaving the country. destination the border

crossing out in colombia. place where the local mafia random to members of colombia's civil war paramilitary groups me to operate only. for breakdowns one flat tire and an attack with stones flying past my head resulted in a nineteen hour journey. and plenty of time to read international press articles on venezuela's immigrants and refugees. from reuters to the daily mirror dozens of stories repeating that the case here resembles syria and they're all hinged people of my own. they compared an economic crisis to civil war and genocide.

in the news i mostly saw people leaving the country here i could see a few returning to venezuela even within a day. they import i mean they see. those humanity. based. on. you know. at the colombian border i experienced one of the many side effects of economic collapse but i learned nothing new about what caused it. surprisingly i found more answers in a town just forty kilometers east of san cristobal.

hundreds of vehicles queued for gas stations. this was another official shortage caused by private. smugglers collaborating with local offices buying gas and other government subsidized commodities in colombia. taking advantage of that price controls contraband goods have become a lucrative business in neighboring colombia where these products can sell for prices at least ten times more it is estimated that almost forty percent of his food is illegally transported across the border.

hiding food away in storage for political and economic purposes is bad and when you have the biggest oil reserves is a real. especially when the government provides gas almost feel free. to understand what was going on i had to return to caracas where the gasoline flows generously. as i couldn't reconcile production of professor carlos mendoza.

a consultant on energy issues for the central bank of venezuela. the obvious he's. been the last one he never seen it. you know again not a moment there ain't don't think. but i thank you all. according to international media of venezuela failed even though it's been proved to have the world's biggest oil reserves. to step really true.

elim facias. being. shown these follow up with relief and i know you know. these. is ahead of the game. on their part but all your sorting out you know. where that. thing. is it will go. like it is saving. me. doing this because i make local dewayne to his anyone willing to put on the ballot. but up those who don't. push will include you know.

him better tell me so you don't. officer. told him to get up off the ground the officer began to pet him down. democrats on the sounds of kind of fighting into a grown man like wrestling essentially the officer who. drew his tone. to push the away from the officer pulling the toys out of his crib. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the weapon once missed and then what happened on three swung at the hands didn't hit him i never saw any contact between the two any kind of back to where they were so the asters back here there try again fifteen feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun and aimed it on three. after the previous stage of my

career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people and i saw why not if you think. i'm going to talk about football not for you or else you can think i was going to go. by the way ways of the fly here. they're bred for a single purpose. they have a superman. they start training very young. eight months of intensive school.

raps. and they save lives. even without the reserves venezuela has a lot of oil. so how did it get into its current situation. many people told me that it suffers from a strange disease. and familial and there's a second bug. phil mickelson. they can see you can see. through them but. because it's called the dutch disease i saw it i should go to whole and.

sadly we see that many obese countries. and up with much worse economic performance much worse in a call to you much more poverty than before they had the oil well for the gas well for the mineral wealth so that's being called i'm dr myself has been called the dutch disease. the dutch disease is something which is taught in the middle of this not in the schools one of the main gas exports you get all this gassy holding up the north part of holland . as a result of the gas being exported it was a lot of extra mom for the guilder for the dutch currency and that pushed up the value of the giver and the maiden very strong currency but as a result of that there rest of the industry the madness became less competitive found a more difficult to export aboard so although we were wealthier in terms of gas our industry was suffering and my to be causing on the point.

venezuela has suffered from the dutch disease since the nineteenth thirty's when oil income was converted into holidays clothes and mentions for the elite. say economy so. you add that but you are not you're not safety more on uploads you . know. these are friends who are all those people are always when i'm at. home but i get we see a bank will get but if the bill moves. out the good bit of good luck and. all of that bog.

wouldn't kill the dutch disease. but for the first time an oil revenue wasn't going to the elite well it's a foreign multinationals. who first of the old times and chavez will still alive. but money will be or will be huge oil money even sure that gets to helping the people of venezuela so he put it into the education system and put it into the health care system and the v.a. to. bad things he can see about. what had been offered. his successes. is a different story now we do have a story that when the old price was too high the more money went to the needs of people who are suffering the most and the people you go dryads rest and then they go to hit by the bush administration at any old rich country.

along with the oil price collapse came a financial in from the usa. podium over to stephen for this purpose we're going to announce sanctions against. venezuela. paid if they says it's known by its spanish acronym the state oil monopoly we're looking at the oil assets that's the single most important income stream to the government of venezuela it will make a big difference to the united states economically if we could have american oil companies really invest in and produce the oil capabilities in. that i reached the source of the absurdity in venezuela's economy. then when i tried to exchange the dollars i had with me.

as well as the official exchange rate for the. black market right. could find the prevailing black market exchange rate from a facebook page. maybe an opponent of the regime in the usa some say. one thing was certain by controlling the exchange rate anyone could citizens against their government. they. saw.

two opposing sides of fame trying to explain the crisis in venezuela. the government supporters the suffering is caused by american sanctions and internal economic sabotage. that theory is based on reality but can't explain everything and is often used as an excuse.

socialism is to blame for. venezuela has affected a prosperous nation. venezuela. free for all socialist economic model social this is not a failed socialist state. this is the socialist dilemma. because actually during the period you know the vast majority were in the private sector. they didn't come anywhere near say france which has fifty five percent of its g.d.p. is. much more socialist.

even when chavez nationalized companies mainly in the oil sector the private sector grew more rapidly than the public sector. and even its greatest opponents knew it. when its economic growth rate was doubled out of the usa and poverty was down by fifty percent. international media attributed the growth to capitalism. of the. crisis struck socialism was blamed.

of the two main areas he was putting the blame on sanctions or on socialism the reality i saw in venezuela was much more complex. than maybe. chavez's bolivarian revolution inherited all the structural problems that the economy had faced in the twentieth century. the dutch disease the destroyed production high inflation and huge inequalities. but for the first time while revenues did not flow into the hands of the few and foreign oil companies. that were distributed to the people. then under constant economic war huge mistakes were made mainly in monetary policy.

when oil prices collapsed all those problems old and new came to the surface. the ball was still poor and the rich who was still rich decided to take revenge. i travelled far trying to understand why when my country and europe was sinking in a crisis some was concerned about toilet paper in venezuela. some just wanted venezuela's oil and needed the pretext of humanitarian intervention. there was something more the. despite its mistakes and failures venezuela christian neo liberalism and the austerity imposed on the population by the elite.

george w. bush the president of the united states government of iraq and the future of your country. belongs to you. in the battle of iraq the united states and our allies have prevailed. what we can do and will do is support the aspirations of the libyan people came you saw i. i might perhaps the vice president of the united states and on behalf of president donald trump and all the american people. let me express the unwavering support of the united states is you the people of venezuela raise your voices in a call for freedom.

childes seemed wrong but old rules just don't hold. any old belief yet to shape our disdain to come to educate and in gain strength because betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. you know my phone line smoked i don't make an important meeting mark the moment i'm on the supreme court appointments you know them going to some come from stuff to get a. lot of. money they just let me get that. she was you me. just.

you go you go british course that's one of them. i mean the guy. you want to. if you can. take a. federal reserve bank the european central bank the bank of england the bank of japan they are fifty sixty seventy percent leveraged much more leverage than long term capital management ever was much more lovers and lehman brothers or bear stearns ever was there the most leverage hedge funds that we've ever seen in the history and hedge fund skullduggery but it doesn't matter because they can print and buy back their own debt in an instant cycle profitless prosperity and then one day like wiley coyote over the cliff chasing the road runner there's

a moment of recognition and then oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh there you go it's all. gone there was a crack seized to do crack when i was. ok my dad he was like. just so you know like what i needed when i was a baby boy. there's always single mothers in african-american communities ever since slavery. i think it's more of teenagers having kids. you can't expect a fourteen or fifteen year old first daughter to order for him to be a far there any check out. the last place on. my car and breaking down i was unable to get to work on time sunday let me get my paycheck that i bring home i have to pay my current.
