Many readers are aware of my stance in regards to this "crisis" happening right now in Venezuela... I am absolutely convinced that this coup d'etat attempt by the United States has long been in planning for the ouster of popular President Nicolas Maduro... It is a fact that the US has been "grooming" Maduro's replacement, their puppet Juan Guiado to be the new Venezuelan President and basically throw any vestiges of true democracy and the democratic process in Venezuela out the door..... Sadly, most people are being programmed and brainwashed by the liars in the Jew spew media and are not seeing what is really happening right now in that South American country...I have also been attacking the criminality of the Canadian government over the last few days in regards to their blatant support of this coup in Venezuela.... The criminal Canadian Prime Minister, the most stupid Justin Trudeau, has thrown his full support over this overthrow of a democratically elected President in Venezuela and basically can properly be labeled now as a true pariah nation on planet Earth... It is so sad to see how far this nation, Canada, that I used to be proud of has now become a true criminal state...Right now, I want to present the following report that comes from the Aletho News website, at www.alethonews.com, that is entitled: "Canada Joins With Imperial "Mafia" To Threaten Venezuela"... This article shows some clear evidence as to how this nation, Canada, has indeed been working over the last few years with the criminal "mafia" headed by the United States for the planned overthrow of the government in Venezuela, and basically throws out the notion that Canada had only joined said "mafia" just last week in support of that overthrow.... Here is that article, and I do have my usual thoughts and comments to follow:
Canada joins with imperial ‘Mafia’ to threaten Venezuela
By Yves Engler · January 27, 2019
Most Canadians think of their country as a force for good in the world, but recent efforts by Justin Trudeau’s government to overthrow Venezuela’s elected government have once again revealed the ugly truth about the Great White North. We are an important partner in imperialism, willing to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, up to and including the use of military force, to benefit the perceived self-interest of our elites.Over the past two years Canadian officials have campaigned aggressively against President Nicolás Maduro. Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland has repeatedly criticized Caracas’ democratic legitimacy and human rights record. Recently she said, “the Maduro regime is now fully entrenched as a dictatorship” while in September Ottawa asked (with five South American nations) the International Criminal Court to investigate the Venezuelan government, which is the first time a government has been formally brought before the tribunal by another member.In recent weeks Canadian diplomats have played an important role in uniting large swaths of the Venezuelan opposition behind a US-backed plan to ratchet up tensions by proclaiming the new head of the opposition-dominated National Assembly, Juan Guaido, president. The Canadian Press quoted a Canadian diplomat saying they helped Guaido “facilitate conversations with people that were out of the country and inside the country” while the Globe and Mail reported that “Freeland spoke with Juan Guaido to congratulate him on unifying opposition forces in Venezuela, two weeks before he declared himself interim president.” Alongside Washington and a number of right-leaning Latin American governments, Ottawa immediately recognized Guaido after he proclaimed himself president on Wednesday. Canadian officials are lobbying European leaders to recognize Guaido as president as well.Ottawa has long provided various other forms of direct support to an often-violent opposition. In recent years Canada channelled millions of dollars to opposition groups in Venezuela and 18 months ago outgoing Canadian ambassador, Ben Rowswell, told the Ottawa Citizen that “we became one of the most vocal embassies in speaking out on human rights issues and encouraging Venezuelans to speak out.”Alongside its support for the opposition, Ottawa expelled Venezuela’s top diplomat in 2017 and has imposed three rounds of sanctions on Venezuelan officials. In March the United Nations Human Rights Council condemned the economic sanctions the US, Canada and EU have adopted against Venezuela while Caracas called Canada’s move a “blatant violation of the most fundamental rules of International Law.”Since its August 2017 founding Canada has been one of the most active members of the “Lima Group” of governments opposed to Venezuela’s elected government. Canada is hosting the next meeting of the “Lima Group”. Freeland has repeatedly prodded Caribbean and Central American countries to join the Lima Group’s anti-Maduro efforts.In September, 11 of the 14 member states of the “Lima Group” backed a statement distancing the anti-Venezuelan alliance from “any type of action or declaration that implies military intervention” after Organization of American States chief Luis Almagro stated: “As for military intervention to overthrow the Nicolas Maduro regime, I think we should not rule out any option … diplomacy remains the first option but we can’t exclude any action.” Canada, Guyana and Colombia refused to criticize the head of the OAS’ musings about an invasion of Venezuela.Alongside the head of the OAS, US president Donald Trump has publically discussed invading Venezuela. To the best of my knowledge Ottawa has stayed mum on Trump’s threats, which violate international law.Why? Why is Canada so eager to overthrow an elected government? Recent headlines in the Globe and Mail (“Venezuelan crisis buoys prospects for Canadian heavy crude oil producers”) and Wall Street Journal (“Bond Prices in Venezuela Jump on Prospect of Regime Change”) suggest some short term reasons. But looking at the situation from a historical perspective confirms Noam Chomsky’s claim that international affairs is run like the Mafia. The godfather cannot accept disobedience.Thus, while the scope of the Trudeau government’s current campaign against Venezuela is noteworthy, it’s not the first time Ottawa has supported the overthrow of an elected, left leaning, government in the hemisphere. Canada passively supported military coups against Guatemalan President Jacobo Arbenz in 1954 and Brazilian President João Goulart in 1964 as well as ‘parliamentary coups’ against Paraguayan president Fernando Lugo in 2012 and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff in 2016. Ottawa played a slightly more active role in the removal of Dominican Republic president Juan Bosch in 1965 and Chilean president Salvador Allende in 1973. In a more substantial contribution to undermining electoral democracy, Ottawabacked the Honduran military’s removal of Manuel Zelaya in 2009.Canada played its most forceful role in the removal of a progressive, elected, president in the hemisphere’s most impoverished nation. Thirteen months before Jean-Bertrand Aristide was, in his words, “kidnapped” by US Marines on February 29, 2004, Jean Chrétien’s Liberal government organized an international gathering to discuss overthrowing the Haitian president. JTF2 special forces secured the Port-au-Prince airport the night Aristide was ousted and 500 Canadian troops were part of the US-led invasion to consolidate the coup.With regards to Venezuela it’s unclear just how far Ottawa is prepared to go in its bid to oust Maduro. But, it is hard to imagine that the path Canada and the US have chosen can succeed without Venezuela being plunged into significant violence.NTS Notes: Well, there you have it.....Canada, which used to be a "beacon of democracy" has finally shown its true colors in its disrespect of the democratic processes in other independent states....It is sad that most Canadians are not even aware of the heinous and diabolical acts of the Federal Government in Ottawa in its actions to destroy other nations.... Most Canadians are still under the belief that Canada stands for "freedom and justice" around the world, and therefore what this article presents does represent a true "rude awakening" of the real policies of this nation...Again, I as a Canadian do NOT support the actions of the Trudeau regime and will continue to attack that criminal outfit every chance I have.... I do want to see this nation return to its founding principles and a time when it truly was a "beacon of freedom and democracy" for the rest of the world to emulate.... But now what I see happening thanks to this nation's criminal actions makes me want to vomit!More to comeNTS
