Plundering Venezuela

from Hot Water History · host GaryRichied w/CharlieWesterman

With bald-faced imperial aggression that bares no distinction from the mercantilist and nationalist racket of the 19th century powers, the thoroughly neo-conservative Trump administration launches a regime-change war against Venezuela. Not North Korea, mind you. Venezuela has long been a target, but the trigger was ultimately pulled once CITGO's valuation reached a low point, was then forcefully scooped up by vulture-capitalist Paul Singer, and it is now time for Singer's hedge fund to reap its typical socialized-risk and reward. And if you didn't know all that, well, that's in part why we are here. If you continue to persist and insist that this is all legit and somehow beneficial to anyone but the billionaire cabal in Washington, then you are a fucking retard.Speaking of the mentally debilitated, Oak Parkers pine for greater gun control and more taxes to ensure it is only their police who can utilize firearms. It's almost enough to let Stockholm off the hook and replace it with Oak Park, ala. the famous Syndrome.www.hotwaterhistory.com@HotH2OHistory:b@chuckwest20BUY TRIDENTINE BEER: www.tridentinebeer.comBUY GARY TRIDENTINE BEER: www.buymeacoffee.com/garyrichiedPAX!
