as a way. to . put us. up to supporting the kids we see. steve it is lit up on a parent would send them to the movie scene and it was confronting those women as well again not good not the. when a european country went through a crisis its politicians worried about toilet paper in latin america. i flew to caracas to find out.

during the eleven hour flight i read all sorts of articles warning me that correct . if i wasn't murdered as soon as i got off the plane i'd be kidnapped. or die of hunger or disease. in prison. venezuela's capital is indeed amongst the most dangerous cities but so are dozens of cities in mexico brazil lo columbia. however the people there do have fun like we do they exercise much like us. children eat ice cream and some women carry refrigerators for some reason.

surprisingly nobody tried to kill kidnap or imprison me when i arrived. during those first few hours i saw venezuela had fallen victim to the biggest propaganda plot of the twenty first century. and nothing will be coming out because i wanted to see life in the barrios the slums of caracas gatecrash which winnings i am i wanted to be to young people artists and workers see what they do for fun what they eat how they vote what newspapers they read their favorite hobbies. if. until we got hit by a taxi and we were left in the middle of the street. the

police who we hadn't called arrived within minutes. the ambulance that we did call never appeared. so i went off to explore all venezuela's public health care system . and found a doctor right away and most of the public hospitals i visited were more than decent. in some clinics medical care was offered for free by cuban doctors who were considered some of the best in latin america. however most hospitals lacked one essential element. patients. as to what medicines there's no point in going. spare parts for the x. ray machines were missing to. find those. i had to go to

a private hospital. and i stumbled on the first proof that socialism had failed in venezuela. as one of venezuela's most eminent economists she's never hidden her support for the bolivarian revolution of. course and. many people are mad that. there is no humanitarian crisis in venezuela looming humanitarian crisis as if it

is the reason humanitarian crisis here in crisis humanitarian crisis humanity carried on crises the country's economic crisis has turned into a humanitarian one. everyone said venezuela was going through a humanitarian crisis. and to prove it they went to geneva to meet former u.n. independent expert. alfred desires. he just returned from caracas. people also seem to have a problem with the term humanitarian crisis. that is a term of art. that tedham me most technique was. you used the term humanitarian crisis ass a pretext to advance humanitarian intervention

this was the argument made in libya when you wanted to have humanitarian intervention in libya. and at the same time regime change and overthrow the american military. with food for everybody is that it correct but the humanitarian aid would have to be secured by guides me there are certain items that are missing. because production. trade distribution is entirely in private hands it is not direct so if you have a considerable portion of the. wealth. in this position. that does not want to cooperate with the government you are going to have a scar city and you're going to have delays in distribution etc etc so i. do

. see. the side of. me. according to the central bank of venezuela products were missing before the constitutional referendum and regional elections of two thousand and seven. before the presidential election of two thousand and twelve and after chavez's death that again led to elections. american sanctions will soon be added to this artificial scarcity making the situation even worse. brought

director of the sea washington follows all economic development he believes that america's sanctions are killing people. as well. when obama first imposed these sanctions on individuals because they violate this woman international threat to the security of the united states which is of course ridiculous and so this is a very aggressive thing trumpet taking a big step further and really did make it nearly impossible for the venezuelan economy recover temperamental that it will kill feed that ca i don't know he needs them from being a woman to have some math if he's still a. b. and he says yeah look i'm with me coming behind me but i limp but at that. point

the fact that see on the fifth really sounded to me playing the. guitar lesson in my finesse they don't mess with that but in superman to call his album. they're not interested in knowing why there is a problem so just to be sure why there are certain medicines are not available they don't tell you for instance that although venezuela has the money to buy medicines and tries to buy these medicines often enough the countries either refuse to deal with venezuela or do not deliver. we had. problems. and. they couldn't get them my lariam medicine from colombia they had to fly it in venezuela has been flying in

from god knows how many countries to india and china etc there is a problem of scars. insulin but that is because of the boycott i mean put the blame where the blame belongs and. how can we condemn the government of venezuela. when we ourselves are causing this car city. desperate for a single purpose. they have a superman. they start training very young. eight months of intensive school.

rats. and they save lives. i do think the numbers mean something they've matter to us as over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent and world markets closed thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and fifth when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember one one business show you know for the mid one and only boom box. cutters financial survival

jobs today with all the money laundering first to visit this kick ass industry different. oh good the good stuff. well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something in your something in america something overseas in the cayman islands or do we do all these banks are complicit in the tough talk or say we just have to say ok i'm ready to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did well we've got a nice watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry how about. luxury automobile for max you know what money laundering is highly illegal for a watch guys record. i. i. i. i. i. i.

think that. the. private owners holding products in times of political unrest american sanctions the queues for foods and medicines. this i've seen before.

in november nine hundred seventy socialist salvador allende became chile's president. the historic day for latin america. for the white house it was a mistake by the american ambassador in santiago edward gorey. thank you very well he was going to. let me just say oh you know the main problem you're going to be on you know i'm going to. die and he was elected i said that it was a grave and very serious defeat for the united states we knew that although i would act in one. appeared to be a legal and constitutional manner it would be designed as a class warfare to eliminate the middle class opposition the bourgeois it would be a class war approach. top secret sensitive eyes only.

nixon already in september called in henry kissinger to tell him that it would not be tolerated that in latin america an alternative economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make the chilean economy scream. nixon gives orders that they make the chilean economy scream and cia director richard helms writes it down. will behave. in order.

to maintain the has to see him to know it's the end all be. seeing him bad well said about. the son and. simply. the.

goal. in venezuela's case the media attacks will be based on a. recipe. everyone has to be convinced that. even when they held elections. in the two decades of the revolution. at least twenty five elections were held and accredited bodies are best in the world. but when. twenty fifteen a party loses the parliamentary election and the right wing opposition wins in the national assembly. the country is paralyzed as

m.p.'s hinder legislative work and rejects supremes court rulings. responds with a football dribble will lose. its. instead of waiting for the hand of god as his friend donna would advise changes field in the middle of the game. he holds a referendum on the formation of a constitutional assembly that would remove the powers of the national assembly controlled by his opponents. was it a constitutional move absolutely. the opposition had twice considered using the same procedure to remove chavez from office in two thousand and seven. in two thousand and sixteen. oh look i

before the government. like i'll give a crap. was the decision ethical. i may not be qualified to say. in my country as well as an entirely the banker was appointed prime minister and a referendum was ignored. in europe we cancelled a total of five referendums because the citizens hadn't voted as the e.u. wanted them to. those decisions constitutional maybe they were but they also ethical and democratic . in venezuela after the two thousand and fifteen crisis the part of the right wing opposition started boycotting elections. they asked the un not to send experts who could determine whether fraud had been

attempted. democracy in venezuela goes into turmoil this is the government's socially responsible always it also the ghost of the two thousand and two coup. several coup instigators will never go to prison and will form the hard core of the right wing opposition. it's interesting that. many of the opposition politicians today in venezuela were involved in some way or another in the coup d'etat

of april. two thousand and two. some of those politicians will continue to receive funding from american organizations like the ne d. . that sent millions of congress dollars to venezuela. when the political crisis hit the streets many politicians exploited public frustration and transformed caracas into a battlefield. parts of the opposition resorted to extreme violence.

at. the state mechanism responded cruelly and indiscriminately dozens were killed on both sides and many ended up in prison. when independent u.n. expert alfred desireless visited caracas. he persuaded the government to release eighty prisoners are. just he insists though that some should be in prison and should be considered political prisoners. on the subject of political prisoners he said we should look at europe as well. they are four persons. politicians who are. in jail. now these four.

politicians are clearly political prisoners. whereas in venezuela many of the detainees were detained because acts of violence. they were. detained because they were just expressing their. desire to be independent. to be sure that the. prisoners in spain i went to barcelona to visit a fellow journalist. cattle on public t.v. carlos pouts. he explained that

even if the political prisoners he couldn't say so. at least not on. the. and he called. who said what kinds of warts we can use when we speak about people that are in prison. just said that we cannot use. the terms political prisoners for example. because i honestly couldn't believe that in a european country a judge could decide what words

a journalist could use. i stayed to watch the broadcast and i heard a breaking story. but i'm not going to die now. or just if you come out of the lot out. there in she stayed. as jodi sanchez was not allowed to speak to journalists i left the studio and went to meet his wife. maybe. you know no and if he had a k. a year from christmas believe the course.
