Several countries including the USA and and Canada have recently supported the claim of Juan Guaido as the president of Venezuela. We already know who Russia backs, do we have another Syria in the making only this time within the Caribbean region?
CARACAS, Venezuela — A group of soldiers turned against the government and declared allegiance to the opposition. Foreign officials say the government could soon run out of money to meet bare-bones needs. And countries across the region have called the president an illegitimate dictator.
Conditions in Venezuela have deteriorated to a point where the opposition — gutted by the jailing and exiling of many of its leaders and discredited after several failed efforts to oust President Nicolás Maduro — is seeing an opportunity. Leading them is a virtually unheard-of 35-year-old, Juan Guaidó.
His debut as opposition leader and head of the National Assembly this month has captured the attention of those within the country and outside of it — mainly for his striking claim that Mr. Maduro is not a legitimate ruler and his willingness to take charge of a transitional government.
“The relationship between Venezuela and its state today is one of terror,” Mr. Guaidó said in an interview. “When this happens, the voices and hopes of the world, their messages, are the encouragement for the daily struggle to resist — to dream of democracy, and for a better country.”

You can’t be consistent though…why would Comissiong even be talking about fighting US…..how is Venezuela any different trying to encroach on Guyana territory which is not even theirs…
…..the goal is to get the parasitic Maduro and his leaches for cronies out of the lives of the weary Venezuela people…just as Bajans had to get rid of DLP…because they were weary just as they will also have to remove BLP…
Madura just gave a whole state oil company to the military to buy their loyalty…these games are for keeps and never end well..

Ahem,
@45,
Shall we take a vote on who on this blog has earned the title of “snivelling racist”? I now see why you love Trump. Both of you have a habit of accusing people of EVERYTHING of which you are guilty. You post daily about Nigerians, Pakistanis, Saudis. DAILY! On every thread. Without fail. I respond by posting facts to dispel your racist rants. My facts support my position that HUMANS are the problem. You single out races and religions and EVERYBODY WHO DOES NOT LOOK LIKE YOU OR BELIEVE WHAT YOU BELIEVE OR AGREE WITH YOUR POSITION IS AN IDIOT.
Now, if Kyffin Simpson was an ETHICAL businessman HE would have cared about my motor woes since I BOUGHT THE MOTOR FROM HIM. The agreement is that there should be parts available within a reasonable time frame. That is the service I paid for. I did NOT get it.
And that nobody cared IS PRECISELY MY POINT. THEY SHOULD HAVE.
Now my sister-in -law also purchased a motor car from Simpsons. Within a few months it was clear that it was defective. Several times it broke down and several times they fixed in within the warranty period. She asked for a new car and was refused.
Kyffin Simpson shite!

Let me give a lesson in basic English to the moron who is linguistically challenged.
A phobia is an IRRATIONAL fear. The fear of the Stone Age cult of islam is well founded on its proselytising and violent disregard for the human rights of anyone who doesn’t subscribe to the mad ravings of their paedophile ‘prophet’, ordure be upon him.
How much proof do you clowns need? Saudi and Qatar like Iran are well known to be the exporters of terror while Western leaders facilitate the barbarians.
What WOULD be a phobia would be the fear of Jews, Buddhists, Hare Krishnas, or Shinto. Geddit?

FOR THE NAY SAYERS THAT SPURT ‘THE US HAS OTHER ULTERIOR MOTIVES IN VENEZUELA
AMERICA HAD THE OPPORTUNITY WHEN THE WENT INTO KUWAIT TO DRIVE OUT SADDAM IN 91 THEY COULD HAVE STAYED IN THE COUNTRY AND THEY DID NOT…When they went into Iraq in 2002 they did NOT take over the oil fields. Your Hypothesis of America going after the Oil and Gold in Venezuela is incorrect.
It is a much better Theory to say that when a country is rich in Natural Resources that many bad actors with evil designs go after it.
Do you Remember the Muslima when they went after Parliament with Robinson? And the next Upcoming Hot Spot is Nigeria because of their oil.
Venezuela Threatened Guyana & Guyana’s Sovereignty because of oil. Chavez became a Politician because of Venezuela’s wealth so he could RULE it. Like all left Wing Ideologues he brought the Country to Ruin. But they did not believe that he did it and when Maduro took over he Continued the Decline by Controlling every aspect of the economy from the great oil fields to the farm lands and to the gold mines until they were out of money and in the meantime he has impoverished and made Destitute the country.
Socialist has certain things in common…Because of their love of Control of people’s lives they have a few Favourite Tactics…
1 They Create Division, they find an Enemy.
2 they always try to appear Sanctimonious or Virtuous
3 They like to Blame Jews for Everything
4 They like to Blame America
5 They like to use the Environmentalism to get more Taxes and Create More Control.
6 Because of their Socialist Mind set they are UNABLE to Create Wealth they only know about Dividing the Wealth of a Country and Squandering it until its gone
Have you not Read or Understood what the Chinese are doing to those Countries in Africa with Natural resources?
America does not take over Countries or their Resources. They never seized the Panama Canal; they gave it up after they put up the resources to build it. (Many Bajan’s worked on that Canal). They did not take over Grenada. They did not take over Japan….The Dots you are connecting is MARXIST PROPAGANDA DOTS…No matter how bad it gets the MARXIST ALWAYS SUPPORT THEIR OWN, WITHER IT BE CASTRO, and ORTEGA, OR MADURO.
The Bad Actors ALWAYS SUPPORT the Bad Actors NO MATTER THE SUFFERING OF THE PEOPLE and they love to JINN up Emotion to CREATE DIVISION but people with Starvation so widespread as in Venezuela people are forced to take the streets and those who have not taken to the streets have fled the country. My cousin in Trinidad has told me of the great quantity of Professionals, Lawyers and Doctors etc. who have walked away from all their possessions and what they have accumulated in Venezuela and you want to Blame America?
LET’S PRAY FOR VENEZUELA’S TRIUMPH OVER THE FOES OF HER PEOPLE…
“Now my sister-in -law also purchased a motor car from Simpsons. Within a few months it was clear that it was defective. Several times it broke down and several times they fixed in within the warranty period. She asked for a new car and was refused.”
Honestly, I would not by a Simpson Motor’s vehicle, they are 3rd rate vehicles at best, even the dummies, Freundel et al in parliament keeps wasting taxpayers money buying Simpson’s trashy Mercedes, info has been around for years about him selling reject vehicles and when taximan bought them and complained that they do not work…Simpson would call up the hotels where these men work and have these men blacklisted from making a dollar at the hotels.

WHEN YOU ARE A MULTIMILLIONAIRESS YOU JUST HAVE TO GO FOR MORE TAXPAYERS’ MONEY.
NANCY PELOSI CHARGED THE AIR FORCE NEARLY $200K TO FLY HER FAMILY AND OTHER LAWMAKERS TO ITALY AND UKRAINE

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s congressional delegation (CODEL) to Belgium, Egypt and Afghanistan garnered extra attention after President Donald Trump banned her from using military aircraft, but the trip would not have been the first time she used Air Force money to travel the world.
Pelosi’s trip to Italy and Ukraine from July 30 to Aug. 6, 2015, cost the Air Force $184,587.81, according to documents released Saturday under a 2015 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit by Judicial Watch. Her delegation was made up of other Democratic members of Congress, including California Rep. Anna Eshoo, after “token” Republican Wisconsin Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner pulled out last minute, reported The Washington Post in 2015.
Four family members, including Pelosi’s husband Paul Pelosi, were slated to go on the trip. The delegation was scheduled to dine at restaurants including James Beard American Restaurant in Milan, where a five-course meal cost up to $190, according to Fine Dining Lovers. The lawmakers also toured the Vatican and met up with Italian dignitaries, including President Sergio Mattarella and then-Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, according to their itinerary.
Pelosi’s team apparently had some pretty specific requests for the Air Force officials working with them to coordinate the trip. (RELATED: Trump Brings Pelosi’s Multimillion Dollar Vineyard Into Shutdown Fight)
“You’re going lo love this …. CODEL Pelosi is requesting the crew they had on this earlier attached trip. Apparently they were very pleased with their service. I already told the escort chances were slim,” an unidentified Air Force official wrote in an email July 9, 2015.
Overall, Pelosi’s European excursion cost the Air Force about the same amount of money it would take to send a student to Harvard University for four years. Judicial Watch compared the trip to Republican Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner’s CODEL trip with multiple stops in east Asia in August 2015. The trip led by Gardner, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, cost at least $26,009.03 for commercial flights and per diems, according to records cited by Judicial Watch.

Judicial Watch has called out Pelosi for “abuse” of travel perks since 2009. The conservative watchdog group wrote in a statement Jan. 14, 2016:
Beginning in 2009, after the media failed to follow up on concerns raised about Nancy Pelosi’s use of luxury Air Force jets to travel between her congressional district and DC, Judicial Watch’s Freedom of Information act requests exposed her abuse of this travel perk. Judicial Watch uncovered that Pelosi’s military travel cost the United States Air Force $2,100,744.59 over one two-year period — $101,429.14 of which was for in-flight expenses, including food and alcohol.
Pelosi blamed Trump after she canceled her congressional delegation (CODEL) to Afghanistan, reasoning that Trump’s public suggestion that she fly commercial had made the trip too high-profile and dangerous.
The speaker was planning to embark on a trip to Belgium, Egypt and Afghanistan Thursday when Trump essentially canceled it last-minute via letter.
“Due to the shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan has been postponed. We will reschedule this seven-day excursion when the shutdown is over,” Trump wrote. “In light of the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay, I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate.”
Trump’s letter came a day after Pelosi sent him a letter Wednesday seeking to delay his State of the Union address until after the shutdown ends. Trump’s address is scheduled for Jan. 29.
Many congressional Republicans have floated plans to allow Trump to bypass Pelosi’s invitation to deliver the address. Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul suggested Trump bypass the House of Representatives entirely and deliver the speech from the Senate floor Thursday.
The Daily Caller News Foundation requested comment from Pelosi’s office but did not receive a response at the time of publication.
THEN THERE IS THE MATTER OF HER POLITICAL CORRUPTION.
