And now opposition needs you on one 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 hes grown up as i 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 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. Easy one 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 get only. 4 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. They see. You many of the. You know. 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. Hours of gas stations. This was another official 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. Almost. As i couldnt reconcile production in my mind i decided to walk somebody whos been. Following Venezuelas Energy policy professor Carlos Mendoza patella. A consultant on Energy Issues for the central bank of venezuela. Weve been going. Through hes. Been there as well he never seen it or nah. You know again not a moment. And i. Want to thank you all. According to International Media of venezuela. Even though its been proved to have the Worlds Biggest Oil reserves. Is that really true. Hes. Being. Shown these. Relief and i know you know. Hes. There but. You have that. Thing. Getting saying. This. Even willing to put on that island. Really good to know. So you know. So. I will continue objecting. To. Everyone agrees to those in power and their position but you know we must not become a nato member on their new circumstances our reason is clear nater people because serbs. It bombed us using depleted uranium munitions. And that still is killing our children today routine and if we decided to become a nato member of it would we would give it a moral right to believe that it did the right thing were all going to sway over we would betray the memory of those who died as a result of the bombing operation it was called the angel of mercy can you imagine that. We still got you into a tirade indeed lets move. On. To these predators. Who want to talk about anything. Can they. Get in thats all. Read too much haha get to be a good tone click on the author to get the working class feel. Good till one with all this you can tie one next time you dont come. Even without the all right ok reserves 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 sea of blood. They think you see. Because its cold that dutch disease so i thought i should go to whole and good judgment. 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 for the mineral wealth so thats been called the im dutch myself has been called the dutch disease. The dutch disease is something which is taught in the netherlands sneddons was one of the main gas export you had all this gas he holding on the north part of holland. And as a result of the gas being exported it was a lot of extra mom for the guild or for the dutch currency that. Pushed up the value of the guild and the made into a strong currency but as a result of that the rest of the industry that was became less competitive found a more difficult to export abroad so although we were well through 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. You had that but you are not you are not a safety moron uploads you must know. These are friends who will. Be always on i must go. Down. Well good luck if we see a bank will get but of the moon. Out there good luck getting. All of it bog us indians. As 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 assholes to life then chavez support a lot of the money or the oil the huge oil money eventually gets into helping the people of venezuela so 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 a step. Is a different story. From the usa. For this purpose were going to announce sanctions against. The state. Were looking at the oil. Big. Oil companies. As well as the official Exchange Rate for the. Black market right. From a facebook page. Things have changed they can find it on instagram. Maybe an opponent of the regime in the usa. By controlling. Anyone citizens against the government. Saw. 2 opposing sides of fame trying to explain the crisis in venezuela. Suffering is caused by. Economic sabotage. Used as an excuse. To blame. Prosperous nation. For all. This is not. Socialist state. Of socialist venezuela this is the socialist dilemma. I dont think so because actually during the period you know the vast majority were in the private sector. They didnt come anywhere near say france which has 55 percent of its g. D. P. Is. More socialist than. Even when chavez nationalized 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 doubled out 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. Very a revolution inherited all the structural problems that the economy had. Faced in the 20th century. The disease that destroyed production high inflation and huge inequalities. But for the 1st time. Did not flow into the hands of the few foreign oil companies. That were distributed to the people. Mainly. Collapsed all those problems old and new came to the surface. And the rich. Decided to take revenge. When. Someone. Needed the pretext of humanitarian intervention. There was something more. Christian. Didnt achieve. In the sixtys and seventys. But thats not acceptable today. And anyone who must be crushed. George w. Bush the president of the United States government of iraq and the future of your country. Belongs to you.
