however there was one word that awakens the political fervor of the. venezuelan. us. to supporting we see. if it is let up on up there will send them out of the movie scene from the next room in israel again not good no not the. one a european country went through a crisis it's politicians worried about toilet paper in latin america. i flew to caracas to find.

during the 11 hour flight i read all sorts of articles warning me that caracas is one of the most dangerous cities in the. soon as i got off the plane i'd be kidnapped. or die of hunger or disease. venezuela's capital is indeed amongst the most dangerous cities but so are dozens of cities in mexico brazil low colombia. however the people there do have fun like we do they exercise much like.

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 1st few hours i saw venezuela had fallen victim to the biggest propaganda plot of the 21st century. and not the only thing keeping up with the i wanted to see life in the barrios the slums of caracas gatecrash rich weddings i am i wanted to be to young people assists and workers see what they do for fun what they eat how they vote

what newspapers they read their favorite hobbies. 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 cool 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. and 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. patient.

as the world of medicine is 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. 'd had i stumbled on the 1st 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. a. person. many

people are mad that. there is no humanitarian crisis in venezuela the looming humanitarian crisis mean yet as if it is the. crisis here in crisis humanitarian crisis humanity carries 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. said ted i mean most technique was. you used the term humanitarian crisis. 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 gadhafi the american military to intervene you know with guns blazing but with food for everybody is that is correct but the humanitarian aid would have to be secured by guys with guns. all recently there are certain items that are missing why because production. trade distribution is entirely in private hands it is not government directed

so if you have a considerable portion of the wealthy. business 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 and distribution that cetera et cetera so i. do. call my god intense yet in sydney seeing. the minute. episode of the. mainland. according to the central bank of venezuela products

were missing before the constitutional referendum and regional elections of 2007. before the presidential election of 2012 and off to 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 c.p.r. in washington follows all economic developments he believes that america's sanctions are killing people in venezuela. when obama 1st imposed the sanctions on individuals because they violate so many international conventions. he had to declare that venezuela poses an extraordinary

and unusual 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 for that ca to know he needs them from being a woman to have some math if he's still in. the end he said sadly me coming behind me but i limp at that still lived all the facets illness it really is sad that they claim that. it can be less of a muffin as they don't mess with that but in superman to call her to tell them. 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 in the month of november the crisis. in the province. and. they couldn't get to my lariam medicine from colombia they had to fly it in from india. so matter of fact. venezuela has been flying in from god knows how many countries india and china etc there is a problem of scars to deal insulin but that is because of the boycott i mean put the blame where. where the blame belongs. how can

we. the government of venezuela. when we ourselves are causing this car city. financial survival stacey let's learn to laugh let's say on the. 9 streets brought thank you for. the story that's true. slavery. we put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be

president. want. to go right to press that's what before 3 of them or can't be good. i'm interested in the water. so i don't know when i will continue objecting to people. everyone agrees. we must not become a nato member on their new circumstances our reason is clear nato. bombed us using depleted uranium munitions. and that still is killing our children today. and if we decided to be. rebuilt we would give it a moral right to believe that it did the right thing. who would betray the memory

of those who died as a result of the bombing operation called the angel of mercy can you imagine that. private owners holding products in times of political unrest american sanctions the queues for foods and medicines. this i've seen before.

in november 970 socialist salvador 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. he was going to. maybe just say oh you mean. 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 what 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 the dam will last through no more. but i'm able to swim into the distance to him to not see the end will be any. seeing him bad well planned on upset about. this if the sun is from the mast and don't want any. sympathy. i don't see. the.

back of the. things by any goal. but i guess i've. got to. go. in venezuela's case the media attacks will be based on a well used recipe. everyone has to be convinced the. dictator is even when they held elections. in the 2 decades of the revolution. at least 25 elections were held and accredited by independent experts like the carter center. over 92 elections men are monitored i would say that the election process in

voters' where is the best in the world. where all the electoral process is legal and democratic. and 2015 party loses the parliamentary election and the right wing opposition wins in the national assembly. to believe 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 would advise changes field in the middle of the game. of the holds a referendum on the formation of

a constitutional assembly that would remove the powers of the national assembly controlled by his opponent's. constitutional move absolutely. the opposition had twice considered using the same procedure to remove chavez from office in 2007. in 2016. before the gun bill. was a decision ethical. i may not be qualified to say. in my country as well as an entirely the banker was appointed prime minister. the referendum was ignored. in europe we cancelled a total of 5 referendums because the citizens haven't voted as the e.u. wanted them to.

those decisions constitutional maybe they were. also ethical and democratic. senate approves the new election but excludes the them of all those from the standing. swedish prosecutors dropped their almost decade long rape investigation against julian assange starting insufficient evidence it's believed that this mission clears the way to speed up the wiki leaks founder of the extradition to the united states to lead you k. where he's currently in prison. also in the stories that shape the week washington pulls the plug on a key element of the a wrong nuclear deal by a whole thing the sanctions.
