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 theyre dying we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option if necessary. Im always careful when we talk about south and Central America and the cia theres a lot of stories.

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 thank you. And now opposition needs you on one has declared himself the countrys new president have you also the president of the United States or any military support in your struggle by as a way down on the amount of this is going up as it 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 didnt just come from the usa. Supporters of the right wing opposition asked for a foreign country to invade then as. 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 hadnt 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 norcos. Call. Easy home 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.

The place where the local mafia random to members of colombias 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 venezuelas 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. That they see. Those many of the base. On. 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 and 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 couldnt reconcile the Oil Production in my mind i decided to watch somebody whos been. Following Venezuelas Energy policy professor Carlos Mendoza patella. A consultant on Energy Issues for the central bank of venezuela. We began. The series. It gave us what we never see even. You know again not a moment. And it breaks your way. But i thank you oh my god. According to International Media of venezuela failed even though its been proved to have the Worlds Biggest Oil reserves. Is that really true. Hes. Being. Shown these sort of off on me for i know you know. I mean also. In the. Last year on their patrol you know. You have that. This is what you. Get in saying. This he called the way to his head he went to put on the ballot. But up and if you do. Good to know. Him better tell me so you dont. Hang your instance cross started 10 years i think its time to shake things up maybe change the branding maybe the format heres what ive been thinking about next season related episodes filmed on an island 10 experts high.

Late night show its a rare format these days and its cheap all you need is an old microphone in a printed banner if i actually meet with one of my guess i can do this campbell after politics gone wild like music. Ok crosstalk is not about hype its about meaning 10 years of talk and still going strong. Peter if you want to change something why dont we get rid of the bow tie no that is too much. This is a story about what happens last year a stray bullet kills a young girl in the street. What happens to her family daughters in florida know the mother daughter is buried in a cemetery it really messes with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the Police Needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court the the. Shock shock is from our society we feel. We dont know shell justice for the. End of this trial unfortunately you truly will still love no actual justice for. Even without the already reserves venezuela. It 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 familiar with the scene. They think the c. D. C. People feel. Because its cold that dutch disease i thought i should go to whole and. Sadly we see that many obese countries and much worse Economic Performance much worse in a call to you much more poverty than before the end or well for the gas well for the mineral wealth so thats been cold on. Me call the dutch disease. The dutch disease is something which is taught in the mountains not in the schools one of the main gas export get old is gassy holding on the north part of holland. As a result of the gas being exported it was a lot of extra mom for the guilder for the currency that pushed up the value of the guild and the made in very strong currency but as a result of that the rest of the industry when it was became less competitive found a more difficult to export to bowl so although we were wealthy in terms of gas our industry was suffering and might 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. But you are not youre not. Going to know. These infants who. We see a bank will get but if the moon. Is that people. Wouldnt kill the dutch disease. But for the 1st time an oil revenue wasnt going to the elite or to foreign multinationals. Lets 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 as he put it into the Education System and put it into the Health Care System alleviating poverty. Whatever bad things he can see a bunch of his death was true what happened afterwards and his successes. Is a different story now we do have a story about the old price was still high but more and more money went to the elites the poor people who are suffering the most and by the poor people you go dryads you go rest and then they got hit by the version that could have had them its way into any oil rich country and that the old price collapse. Along with the Oil Price Collapse came a financial in balgo from the usa. 40 modus even. This purpose were going to announce sanctions against. Venezuela. Paid of a says its known by a spanish acronym the state owned oil monopoly were looking at the oil assets the single most important income stream to the government of venezuela it will make a big difference to the United States economically if we could have American Oil Companies invest in and produce the oil capabilities in. That i reached the source of the absurdity and venezuelas economy. Then when i tried to exchange the dollars i had with me. As well as the official Exchange Rate for the. Black market right. Find the prevailing black market Exchange Rate from a facebook page. Now things have changed they can find it on instagram. The administrator is. Going to. Maybe an opponent of the regime in the usa some say well maybe. By controlling the Exchange Rate anyone could citizens against big government. So. 2 opposing sides have been trying to explain the crisis in venezuela. The suffering is caused by. Internal economic sabotage. Used as an excuse. To blame. Has affected a prosperous nation. Free for all. This is not a. This is the socialist dilemma. I dont think so because actually during the period when you know the vast majority were in the private sector. They didnt come anywhere near. 55. P. Even when. 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. International media attributed the growth to capitalism. But when the crisis struck socialism was blamed on. The 2 made narratives putting the blame on sanctions or on socialism the reality i saw in venezuela was much more complex. And maybe both dull. Varian revolution inherited all the structural problems that the economy had faced in the 20th century. The dutch disease the destroyed production high inflation and huge inequalities. But for the 1st time while revenues did not flow into the hands of the few and foreign oil companies. That were distributed to the people. Then under constant economic war huge mistakes were made mainly in monetary policy. When oil prices collapsed all those problems old and new came to the surface. The rich. There was something more.
