Venezuela

Now and again, President Trump does something so magnificent, one wants to drop on one’s knees and give thanks unto God.

I have some personal experience in Venezuela from before Chavez took power. It was called The Jewel of South America then. It had social medicine. Was it world class? No. But it wasn’t 3rd world either. Medicine was cheap and mostly available without a prescription, for good or for bad. Not narcotics, but antibiotics and many many other medicines, . All very affordable. Granted there is economy of scale. What was cheap for a Canadian can still be felt by a local.

There was a lot of freedom in Vz. Freedom of speech, and profound love and appreciation for the arts, Even subversive arts as well as classical and pop. They had a music culture., They had a food culture.

They were also as honest as the day was long.

There was a rational system of distribution of wealth. This doesn’t mean there were not areas of crushing poverty. In hot countries, living in ways unfathomable to Canadians is possible, so it happens. But each individual could still choose to carve a path for themselves, even if their circumstances were not equitable. Because all the people of the world can never be equitable. Just equal for opportunity to the best of your own ability in the ideal.

It was not a paradise for all, but once Chavez took over, it was a hell for all. Just like Communist countries always are.

The streets were also relatively safe, and many cities and areas were beautiful. Most notably in my experience, Merida up in the Andes on the Columbian border.

Within months of the election of Hugo Chavez, people were eating their pets. Their neighbour’s pets, and the zoos were emptied to make food from the exhibits.

People had to weigh money on scales to buy things at grocery stores thanks to the communist tactic of creating hyper inflation.

Here is an interview I did with a Venezuelan member of a farming family back in 2016, who had escaped to Canada. We did the interview in Ottawa. Personally from news reports I saw, I tend to think he understated the issues. Either way, its not a bad snapshot of how the communists destroyed the entire food chain from farm to table through the usual communist methodology, Taker the farms away from the people who actually know how to farm and want to dio it, give the farms to uneducated party apparatchiks who then grow a year’s worth of Marijuana, then abandon the farm after selling off all the valuable equipment. If I am not mistaken, this is also exactly what happened in Rhodesia when it became Communist Zimbabwe. From breadbasket of Africa to desolate famine hellhole. This is often mistaken for corruption.

I say mistaken because as I am listening through the audiobook of the Gulag Archipelago again, we see the pattern so clearly, and codified in laws and procedures, that its clearly not corruption but part of the process of destruction of the entire system of individualism, free market existence, and of reason itself. Anyone wishing to give it a try, this appears to be a link on YouTube to the entire book in 7 parts.

And like Orwell’s 1984, it is one of those books you keep wanting to stop and make notes. Especially when you come to the parts where they are talking about specific tactics and legislation that mirror what is taking place in Canada right now, and for the purpose of the total disenfranchisement of the peasants, vassals, nobles and all the medieval categories that communists recreate under the rubrics of Party Elites, The People, Kulaks, Party members and so on. The fake destruction of classes by creating the same old system of classes.

But up to now, we have only scratched the surface of how the removal of Maduro and the implementation of a new regime in Venezuela is an act of unequaled compassion to the people of Venezuela. I have often thought that a single soldier doing his duty at the right time and place can save more lives than a thousand doctors doing overtime for years on end. And this is one of those cases. The lives saved and suffering reduced of the people of Venezuela by this military action of the USA under Donald Trump is hard to quantify, but it is of a global scale.

But then there is the military component and the Casus Belli for the Untied States.

Another famous book, The Art of War, written by Sun Tsu in the 5th century BC, details how if one wishes to win a war, it is best to not let the enemy know you are at war with them.

Americans have created the largest military in the history of the world. No country can, using conventional means, defeat the USA militarily But this doesn’t mean the US doesn’t have enemies, or that they aren’t attacking the United States. Instead, they have to resort to tactics that the US people would not recognize as military in nature, and so would not accept their government using a military response.

Communist and Islamic subversion are clear as day examples of warfare that is not something that would make a best selling Hollywood film. .

The fact that New York elected a communist and Islamic mayor who declared January Islamic something something month and lit up all the buildings in green INCLUDING THE WORLD TRADE CENTRE is stunning proof that in the city in which the 911 attacks killed thousands in an act of Islamic terror, they could then achieve total political control tells you exactly how that works.

But so is importing and distributing a drug that from March 2023 to March 2024, killed 77,648 people. The Vietnam war lasted 20 years and had 58,220 American deaths. Murdering vast sums of people and demoralizing countless more are acts of war.

But in this case, unlike conventional war, the Venezuelan communist state actually profited by it instead of having to fund it. A new level of cynicism.

Venezuela was clearly at war with the United States. It was acting as an ally of Iran, which was also at war with the United States. And if his allies don’t kill him before his trial or if he doesn’t get placed in Jeffery Epstein’s cell, we may well find out who Maduro’s other allies are in its war with the United States. I doubt I would be surprised to find it was the Clintons and the Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) if not the Democrat party itself.

To be clear, The USA had a Casus Belli for this action that is without question legitimate. And even if not legitimate, necessary.

As a response to war by Venezuela.

As a means to free its people from the suffering caused by communism.

As a means to gather and publish intel on the other enemies of the USA and keep its own people safe, as well as prevent the total collapse of the Republic which appeared to be imminent during the Biden years and as the election of Mandami in New York shows us, is still not a distant possibility.

Understanding that war is attempting to destroy your enemy in order to impose your own authority, or merely just to destroy your enemy needs to be more widely understood. The taxonomy of war as something limited to kinetics is a huge part of the reason all Western nations are on the precipice of tyranny and destruction. And some, like the UK, have gone over the edge with barely a shot fired. A few stabbings, a couple of busses blown up and the rest was done with dialectics and subversion. Subversion itself of course, being a form of dialectics.

Watch this presser very carefully. Each word was very deliberate. And there are messages there to future actions. It is also cleanly stated that they captured and renditioned/extradited Maduro for trial in the USA.

Venezuelans, as one would hope, are celebrating in the streets. This should give you gooseflesh.

This reveals a lot. While actual Venezuelans who had to suffer under Maduro and Chavez’s communism are celebrating all day in the streets, Communists in the USA are demanding his release on Times Square
