The Truth About Venezuela As Told By Somebody Who Actually Lives There
from Walter Rhein Podcast · host Walter Rhein, Sick of this Shit Publications, Elizabeth Raven, and Nick Paro
Last week I had the opportunity to finally sit down with Elizabeth Raven. She lives in Venezuela and she’s been giving us updates on the reality of what’s going on there. Friends, at this point we cannot believe anything the state department says about, well, anything.Elizabeth told us all about their elections and why she believes they are free, fair and secure. Some people think that Maduro has cancelled elections, but Elizabeth (who was actually in Venezuela), assures us that isn’t the case.My wife is also from South America, and she too often gets frustrated when people from the US call South American countries, “Third world.” That’s just more BS designed to justify unlawful aggressions. The US doesn’t go into South America to help… ever.Remember that the next time somebody starts complaining about immigration. Say, “Maybe there would be fewer immigrants if the US stopped kidnapping the presidents of foreign countries and throwing their nations into turmoil.”Most Republicans don’t have an answer for that.Anyway, thanks for being here, I hope you enjoy this talk!Thank you Evan Fields, Noble Blend, Jeanne Elbe, LeftieProf, Acejonesz, and many others for tuning into my live video with Nick Paro, Elizabeth Raven, and Sick of this S**t Publications!
