A number of his top Foreign Policy advisers last summer about the possibility of invading venezuela thank you. And now opposition needs you on honda has declared himself the countrys new president have you also the president of the United States for any military support in your struggle by and saw it on the market as its going up as it would in terms of taking decisions that even though this is a dictatorship the venezuelan 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 you. 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. That. Easy 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 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 colombias civil war paramilitary groups meet operate only. For breakdowns one flat tire and 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. Started. Many of the. 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 had to return to caracas where the gasoline flows generously. As i couldnt reconcile the Oil Production in my mind i decided to walk somebody whos been. Following Venezuelas Energy policy professor carlos mendoza. A consultant on Energy Issues for the central bank of venezuela. Weve. The obvious hes. Been the last one he never see. You know again not a moment there aint dont think. And it breaks your way though but i thank you. According to International Media of venezuela failed even though its been proved to have the Worlds Biggest Oil reserves. Really true. In foss hes. Being. Shown these follow up with relief and i know you know. Hes. Is ahead of. You on that but that only sorting out you know. You have that. Peculiar thing. Because it will. Give you a sale. Or make. The lame this. Local de lay has anyone willing to put on that island. But up and if you do. Youll push through and put the old. Me so you dont. Max kaiser financial Survival Guide liquid assets not those that you can convert into account as quite easily. To keep in mind no assets mean to inflation watch guys or board. Around them for follow on that comes out of. The set up one among them. A font after 90 they tell you not the hi im i said. Months in the us and so on. Some totally fine with me im in a lot of the. Then that it is someone who did the board. That he flew on. To play just one game so sudden this somebody comes on the raise another j. P. And they dont know what to do with it you know bid a bistro just to temporize im continue on to the next American Election if trump is always the decider of relief because the democrats are disposed towards the Islamic Republic so you know maybe we can go back to the old james over quietly giving you consistent as i quietly you believe being pressured im not. Even without the. 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 theres a scene involved. Here who. They think is c. D. C. People. Because its called the dutch disease and i thought i should go to whole and. 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 the end or well for the gas well or the mineral wealth so thats been cold im dutch myself thats been called the dutch disease. The dutch disease is something which is taught in that sneddons was one of the main gas export he had all these guys he holding up the north part of holland. As a result of the gas being exported it was a lot of extra made him very strong currency but as a result of that the rest of the industry that it was became less competitive found a more difficult to export to bowl so although we were well through in terms of gas our industry was suffering and might have been causing on the point. Venezuela has suffered from the dutch disease and the 930 s. When oil income was converted into holidays clothes and mentions for the elite. Sea economy so said. But do you and i. Know. These are friends whom. 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 sport 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 and if you can poverty. Whatever bad things you 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 go ahead by the version that could have been its way into any old rich country that the old price collapsed. Along with the Oil Price Collapse came a financial in bongo from the usa. 40 modus even for this purpose. Were going to announce sanctions against. Venezuela associate the name were paid of day 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 venezuela. And i reached the source of the absurdity in venezuela as 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. 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 the government. 2 opposing sides have been trying to explain the crisis in venezuela. Suffering is caused by. Internal economic. Theory is. Used as an excuse. To blame. Prosperous nation. 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. Years. 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. The 2 made narratives putting the blame on sanctions or on socialism the reality i saw in venezuela was much more complex. And maybe more dull. Chavezs bolivarian 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. In the sixtys and seventys. But thats not acceptable today. George w. Bush the president of the United States government of iraq and the future of your country. Belongs to you.
