    Looks like the video warriors caught the culprits in action. It reminds me of Ukraine when videos were being shown on RT of the protesters throwing Molotov cocktails at the police, and hacking them while the networks were calling them peaceful protests. Of course when Yanukovich gave the police permission to respond, those videos were all over the media.

    The video of the Molotov cocktail being thrown on the aid truck is not on Youtube, but you can see it here. There is also one showing them making the Molotov cocktails:

    Trump ups the pressure on Maduro-loyalist military officers threatening to deport their families living the good life in the USA

    Staged events with paid actors is how the US rolls, it is our Modus Operandi.

    The fix is in. Everything now is pure theatre.

    IOW, it is almost too late for Maduro to scoot with the loot.

    The only loot the U.S. cares about is the oil. This whole thing is about getting big oil into the country.

    Scoot with what loot, it's been stolen by the Bank of England. Also why would Maduro desert his people? Isn't that traitorous?

    The Brits have already stolen the gold, so maybe there is no more loot for Maduro to scoot with?

    Assuming one is gullible enough to believe the federal government and its mainstream media....

    America is overflowing with oil. Reducing VZ production helps Big Oil.
    The VZ loot from oil is in the foreign bank accounts of the VZ ruling political class if they can get out alive to spend it

    You don't think oil companies want control of the VZ oil fields? Are you mad?

    Why would anyone believe that Maduro cares about Venezuelans or Venezuela? He clearly does care about holding power, and it looks like that will probably get him and his posse killed soon. IOW, the perfect ending - for Trump.

    Eventually, but right now less production = a higher price and profits for the oil Big Oil is selling.
    Maduro has been very good for Big Oil.

    May I ask why YOU believe that Maduro is a scoundrel and does not care for his fellow countrymen? Have you been to Venezuela? How long did you stay and who did you talk to?

    I suspect your view of Maduro is very much formed by the propaganda delivered to you, NOT by any personal experience or knowledge.

    If Maduro and his ilk do not have $Billions stashed in off shore accounts it will be a first.

    I get what you are saying but oil companies are constantly drilling for new oil supplies. You honestly think they have just stopped and said "we have enough". These companies want the fields in VZ. It gives them more control of the world's supply. It's what they do.

    I have been critical of the rather obvious "clandestine" activity to remove Maduro. But Maduro set himself up for it.



    Putin and Xi should have been shipping boatloads of tampons etc. to VZ years ago if they wanted to keep the hapless Maduro.

    It is rather baffling that Putin didn't prop up VZ. There has to be a reason. It's not something Putin would have overlooked.

    If Maduro only cared for money and had billions stashed away as you project, they why wouldn't he just get up and leave and say the heck with his supporters? Seems the idea of leaders having loyalty alludes you.

    Anyway here's another video.

    Maduro makes $1or$2million per year and lives in the Vice-President's house. Chavez' daughter lives in the presidential palace. She is worth $5billion.

    Big Oil has a history of conspiring to reduce its own production to hike prices and profits.
    Reducing VZ's production is much less painful for Big Oil than reducing its own. In the end, of course, Big Oil companies will regain control of VZ's production.

    Interesting piece, no tampons in Caracas.

    Those clandestine efforts to overthrow the government began with Chavez. Not sure whether tampons were included on the sanctions list, but certainly parts for the F-16 aircraft we had sold them were on the list.

    Then Maduro still has at least $millions to spend - if he survives.
    But it is hard to know how much dictators have stashed in secret accounts.

    You are insinuating that big oil doesn't want control ASAP because production is being reduced anyway. I don't believe that for a second. Those companies are frothing at the mouth and jockeying for position right now. It's happening as we speak, hence all this theatre we are witnessing.

    Again, Maduro's "friends" in Russia and China should have made sure VZ never ran out of tampons.
    Putin and Xi should purge their clandestine spy agencies. ;-)
