Richard so disappointed on your assessment. If getting rid of Maduro is a neo con thing to do, then I’ve just joined them. There is nothing wrong with getting rid of communist mafiosos in Latin America. God bless those in our government who finally want a free hemisphere. We’ve had to deal with a liberal State Dept and CIA for way too long. Just the fact that we have a communist nation 90 miles south of Florida with a U.S. military base and nothing has ever been done is a tragedy. Shame on our government for letting that happen. And shame on Venezuela for nationalizing it’s oil. Without Americans Venezuelans would have never known the industry. But that’s not reason enough to ignore their suffering. It’s unChristian of us to do so. And don’t think the same communist regime tactics cannot happen here. The same latino’s who backed Chavez are pouring into our own country in the thousands. We are surrounded by communists in our media, schools, workplace, etc. Trump must end our crazy immigration laws and improve the lives of those in Latin America, or we will be singing the Bolivariana anthem one day.
With your logic, it would be perfectly fine for Russia or China to engage in regime change operations against Trump or any othe Western leader for any perceived ills. Maduro is no more a thug than Trump and the Neocons. You have clearly swallowed the Neocon propaganda. Maduro is the duly elected leader of Venezuela. Guaido is an imposter and a man of lawlessness, same as the other CIA puppet and Fake President Poroshenko. Trump screwed up bigly by throwing in his lot with the Neocons and has demonstrated that is no different than Bush, Obama or Hillary. Team Neocon is not interested in helping Venezuelans. Their "humanitarian aid convoy" is nothing more than a demonic stunt. Team Neocon is responsible for the suffering in Venezuela because they are the ones who imposed sanctions on Venezuela in the first place. If they really wanted to help ease suffering in Venezeula Trump would immediately remove the unjust, demonic sanctions. Sanctions in themselves are an act of war and it is the West who has declared unjust economic war on Venezuela. Team Neocon and Trump need to repent immediately before they dig themselves into a bigger hole.
The collapse the Venezuelan economy is not primarily due to economic sanctions -- Venezuela is a classic example of a petrostate -- over-reliance on a single resource allied to disastrous socialist leaders (who couldn't even run a business never mind an economy), poor management and a decline in oil prices -- The Venezuelan economy has gone through a series of boom and busts since the 1920s when oil was first discovered. So you can't blame the neo-cons for the previous economic declines. In addition socialism clearly doesn't work and Venezuela is a classic example. The only people who argue that socialism works are socialists because they are economically illiterate.
I’m reading all of these post, but must admit my knowledge on this is not worthy to comment on. All I can think of is this prophecy relating to Venezuela: "Russia may act in a surprise way, when you least expect it… [God's] justice will begin in Venezuela. - The Bridge to Heaven: Interviews with Maria Esperanza of Betania" Maria Esperanza
Who is doing the plundering? You can be sure that when Russians, Chinese and Cubans are involved in a nation's affairs then it is for their own interests alone and not those of a population being starved by their own government. 'Cowboy'??
Ultimately the coup attempt doesn't matter much now because it is pretty clear that it has failed. It would take some pretty Herculean feats to see Mr Guaido installed now.
The middle class Venezuelan Freemason vs the Jesuits. Life is not black and white Richard. There’s a lot of gray.
I agree with you. Do we have more from Maria Esperanza connected to Venezuela? As people who believe supernatural intervention in the world affairs, this is the way. It is too easy to blame one side, and sure everyone has his own view. One could paint what happens in Venezuela as a world powers standoff that continue for decades. What happened in Cuba could happen again. The hope is Heavenly intervention, not human hopelessness. Maria Esperanza may prove right. If so, her other predictions may fulfill too. I hope, sooner, whatever it is!
Esdras, honestly, if there is more I don’t really know....if there is, I’d sure like to see it myself. I think it might help us ...me...in my confusion about this. If I or anyone else turns up anything, hopefully it will be posted. Perhaps Our Lady...or Jesus only allowed her to reveal this small portion of what may be a very big event. Why else would she illude to it at all?
I'm pondering what she meant when Maria Esperanza said: "It will begin here" Could it be that the people rising up against Communism / the anti Communist Revolution will start in Venzuela? And then maybe the people of Cuba and of China and other Communist nations will follow the lead of Venezeula and try to throw off the yoke, and there will be a severe and violent reprisal and a show of force by the world power of Communism - but it will be the last gasp and will ultimately fail, after much bloodshed.
I'm not sure that the clash is between Freemasons and the Jesuits. We don't really know the truth of what's going on in Venezuela or what led up to their current crisis. It looks more like a battle between Freemasons and Communists which will be a lose-lose for Venezuela no matter which side comes out on top. Neither side is a friend to Catholicism and neither side will have the best interests of the Venezuelan people as their long term goal. Some pundits in the West are insinuating that Pope Francis is a Maduro supporter because the Pope hasn't openly condemned the Venezuelan government. They conveniently omit to mention that Maduro asked the Vatican to help broker a deal between the Government and the opposition. The Vatican can't get involved because they have not received a similar request from the opposition. There won't be a long-term peaceful resolution to Venezuela's problems unless both sides sit down and negotiate a path forward for the country. Talks like that require an intermediary not already aligned with either side, and the Vatican is their best option. I wondered why Venezuela's opposition hadn't requested the Vatican to help work out a solution. That the leader of the opposition is a Freemason explains a lot.
I’m praying that’s exactly what she meant. And so far it looks like this may be. If Venezuela disintegrates so will Cuba. It’s the first time an American President is on the right side on the world stage, besides Reagan.
But communists are in the Jesuit order especially in Latin America. This is why Freemasonry is so relevant, unfortunately. The people don’t trust the Vatican.
It’s not that they don’t trust Catholicism, they just don’t trust the priests. The same happened in Cuba, Brazil, Argentina etc. Guaido and his supporters go to Mass and have been praying public Rosary’s.
Jesuits aren't the only priests in Latin America, and I'm sure that there are some Latin American Jesuits who aren't Communists. The Masonic influence is very strong in Western countries, not least in the US, and it's in their interests to paint all Jesuits and by extension all priests, as Communists or Communist fellow travellers. Sadly, that impression is fed by the high profile of some US and European Jesuits who use Catholicism to push their own anti-Catholic agendas, especially in elitist Jesuit schools and colleges. An opposition led by Freemasons wouldn't trust priests no matter what the priests said or did. If all the Jesuits really were Communists, then a great many Venezuelans did trust priests because both Chavez and Maduro were elected to power. I'm pretty sure that the Venezuelan Bishops have made a statement which could be considered anti-Maduro, and it's the Bishops - not priests or the Jesuit order - who speak for the Church in Venezuela.
Believe me Dolours living in Florida and having sent my son’s to Jesuit prep schools it’s a major problem. Social justice etc., is their main focus of education. It confuses the students. The Jesuit order in this part of the world is completely infiltrated by communists. Georgetown University is no longer a Catholic university. Because of the Vatican’s lack of weeding out these priests Protestantism has grown substantially all over Latin America. And our current Pope is incredibly disliked today in Venezuela. He has backed priests that have harmed the people. Pope Francis has not helped Catholicism grow in Latin America.
