all human rights are. what i call selective integration. you show enormous in the nation with regard to one country. and you keep quiet with regard to many other countries where the situation is many times worse. in brazil the police kill 14 people a day on average. the colombian army killed 10000 civilians between 20022010. that doesn't include hundreds of political activists assassinated every year by power of military groups tolerated or even supported by the authorities. even in the usa the police killed almost a 1000 people in 2018. politicians

in some of those countries have called for military intervention in venezuela to protect so they say its citizens. 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 for 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 you on one 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 us he's going to and i 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 theirs. 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.

the whole 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. ringback ringback ringback ringback ringback that night i boarded a bus with dozens of venezuelans leaving the country. just a nation the border crossing out in colombia. place where the local mafia random to members of colombia's civil war paramilitary groups meet operate only.

for breakdowns one flat tire found an attack with stones flying past my head resulted in a 19 hour journey. 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 the people of myanmar. 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. those humanity even. one. 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 40 kilometers east of san cristobal. hundreds of vehicles queued for hours at gas stations.

this was another artificial shortage caused by private. smugglers collaborating with local offices buying gas and other government subsidized commodities in colombia. taking advantage of that as well as price controls contraband goods have become a lucrative business in neighboring colombia where these products can sell for prices at least $10.00 times more it is estimated that almost 40 percent of them this will is food is illegally transported across the border. hiding food away in storage for political and economic purposes is bad enough. not being able to find gasoline 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 have to return to caracas where the gasoline flows generously. as i couldn't reconcile production in my mind i decided to watch somebody who's been. following venezuela's energy policy professor carlos mendoza patella.

a consultant on energy issues for the central bank of venezuela. we begin. with. the. duncan has. been there as well he never seen it or nah. you know again not a moment. and i. want to thank you oh my god. according to international media of venezuela failed even though it's been proved to have the world's biggest oil reserves. is that really true.

posse's. being. nice. when i know you know. is ahead of. you on the petroleum. you have that. thing. because it will. give us able. to link this. local dealer into his even willing to put on an island. but up in the fetal. tissue in critical. so you know.

good food descriptions sound up a tasing even for the owners so how to choose just pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us than was necessarily good for the pet turns out that food may not be the best people believe we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders they've cut allergies we are actually creating these problems it's a huge epidemic of problems all of them i believe can be linked to fairy simple

problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets last treats the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research. shows that if i do object now and then i will continue objecting to people in republika srpska everyone agrees those in power and their position but you know we must not become a nato member under any circumstances our reason is clear nater critical because serbska. it bombed us for years in depleted uranium munitions. and that still is killing our children today routine and if we decided to become a nato member we would look at what we would give it a moral right to believe that it did the right thing about all this way over we

would betray the memory of those who died as a result of the bombing operation bush told that angel of mercy can you imagine that. young elephant. so i've come to a soft. mess basically brutal budgeting incidents because sadly the baby elephants often do see their mother as how the need be killed but also be caught up unfortunate. i do believe the elephant smile i see it's in these little ones they all say certain express some changes in the. name. even without the all right ok was a 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 scene about. phil mickelson. they can see who can see. through it but. because it's cold that dutch disease i thought i should go to whole and good judgement. sadly we see that many of these countries and up with much worse economic performance much worse in a call to you much more poverty than before they had orwell for the gas wealth or the mineral wealth so that's been cold i'm dark my so does me call the dutch

disease. the dutch disease is something which is taught in the netherlands sneddon's was one of the main gas export to get all these guys he holding up the north part of holland. as a result of the gas being exported there was a lot of backs from the mob for the guilder for the dutch currency. pushed up the value of the giver and the made in very strong currency but as a result of that the rest of the industry in the netherlands became less competitive found a more difficult to export aboard so although we were well through 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 930 s. when oil income was converted into holidays clothes and mentions for the elite.

sea economy so. you had to but do you and that's you know i'm. not going to know. enough of these orphans who. people are going to be always one of them i thought. well good luck if we see a bank we'll get but if the moon. is that people of course. all of the blogosphere unions. as wouldn't kill the dutch disease. but for the 1st time an oil revenue wasn't going to the elite or to foreign multinationals.

let's look 1st at the old times and shove estoril still alive then chavez put a lot of the money over the oil the huge oil money eventually gets into helping the people of venezuela so he put it into the education system and put it into the health care system and if you can poverty. whatever bad things you can see about trevor's death. is a different. country . from the usa.

for this purpose we're going to announce sanctions against. the state. we're looking at the oil. big. oil companies. as well as the official exchange rate for the.

facebook page. changed they can find it on instagram. maybe an opponent of the regime in the usa. by controlling. anyone could citizens against the government. saw.

2 opposing sides of being trying to explain the crisis in venezuela. suffering is caused by. economic sabotage. used as an excuse.

to blame. prosperous nation. for all. this is not a failed. socialist state socialism socialist venezuela this is the socialist dilemma was it socialism i don't think so because actually during that period you know the vast majority were in the private sector. and they didn't come anywhere near say france which has 55 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. venezuela was therefore never a socialist country. and even its greatest opponents knew it. when its economic growth rate was double that of the usa and poverty was down by 50 percent. the international media attributed the gross to capitalism. but when the crisis struck socialism was blamed.

the 2 made narratives putting the blame on sanctions or on socialism the reality i saw in venezuela was much more complex. and maybe. very a revolution inherited all the structural problems that the economy had. faced in the 20th century. the disease that destroyed production high inflation and huge inequalities. but for the 1st time. did not flow into the hands of the few. that were distributed to the people. mainly and. all those problems old and new came to the surface.

and the rich who was still rich decided to take revenge. when. someone. needed the pretext of humanitarian intervention. there was something more. christian. didn't achieve. in the sixty's and seventy's.

but that's not acceptable today. and anyone who must be crushed. 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. salaam aleikum. what we can do and will do to 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.

up and finding another one of our esteemed swager both of whom. baloch itself more to say about. closing this way got to dog so hard not to think of the mother

disappeared this moment the look they call it and i don't miss dora and i think. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights his way. to. the floor you can fall to the feet all found is worthless what it called the ability of. what i think is this is the fund that is a constant.

times have a duty to clean sneak. their own records or cook or discredit. you. could want to think about you think about it. each of them as all. of them do eat too much haha get to be a good tone crew from the author to get those people feel. good children telling us all that you can say one next time you don't come.
