The
deceptive nature of the mainstream capitalist media in the United
States and Europe should be obvious. It declares Venezuela — a country
that forbids the death penalty and torture in its constitution — to be a
“brutal dictatorship.” Western media calls election results that are
confirmed by the Organization of American States, the Carter Center, and
the United Nations “fraudulent.” Unless of course, pro-US “opposition”
forces are victorious.
Aside
from exposing the hypocrisy of western media and leaders, the
Venezuelan election results put all of Latin America and the world in
greater danger. The forces that profit from war and destruction have
their tentacles all over the region, and soon they could escalate their
confrontation with the forces pushing for sovereignty and economic
development.
The
current leader of the Venezuelan opposition is Henrique Capriles
Radonski. Despite being funded by western capitalists in his campaign
against the Venezuelan government, Capriles calls himself a “socialist.”
He claims his “socialism” is less “authoritarian” and “repressive” than
that of Chavez and Maduro.
Capriles
has converted to Catholicism, but both his parents are Sephardic Jews
of Spanish origin. Venezuelan media has documented that Capriles is an
active supporter of the Israeli government, and that he coordinates his
political activities with well-funded thinktanks and political
organizations in the United States, western Europe, and Israel. Capriles
does not deny these allegations, but simply accuses those who bring
them up of antisemitism.
