Maddow madness: MSNBC host blames Trump for Venezuela crisis
WND ^ | 4/22/2017 | Bob Unruh

Posted on 04/22/2017 7:55:34 AM PDT by antidemoncrat

According to many Democrats, President Donald Trump is at fault for the problems concerning the Middle East, North Korea, China, Russia, the economy, illegal immigration, the tax code, Obamacare and more.

Now, he’s being blamed even for the rioting enveloping Venezuela in response to the economic devastation brought by its socialist regime.

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, who famously melted down over Trump’s election victory last November, was reporting this week about a donation from Venezuela’s state-run oil company to the Trump inauguration.

The Middle East, North Korea, China, Russia mess are all due in part to Obama’s foreign policy failure, he just stirred the pot either deliberately or mindlessly.

State-Owned Venezuelan Oil Firms Spends Millions on U.S. Lobbying

June 6, 2016 12:45 pm

EXCERPTS

Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA) and its U.S. subsidiary Citgo have together paid six different lobbying firms more than $5.3 million since the first quarter of 2014, when Sens. Bob Menendez (D., N.J.) and Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) introduced legislation to sanction Venezuelan officials for their crackdown on the country’s political opposition.

(snip)

By January 2015, five different lobbying firms were working on sanctions and related issues on behalf of Citgo and PDVSA. Employees of all five had donated to Menendez ahead of his 2012 reelection campaign.

When the measure came to the Senate floor on Dec. 8, 2014, Menendez offered an amendment to the bill. It promised to spare Citgo and its Venezuelan parent from sanctions targeting Venezuelan assets in the United States.

“The requirement to block and prohibit all transactions in all property and interests in property [by sanctioned individuals] shall not include the authority to impose sanctions on the importation of goods,” the amendment said.

The amended version of the legislation directed the president to impose sanctions on “any foreign person, including any current or former official of the Government of Venezuela or any person acting on behalf of that Government” deemed to have violated the rights of the country’s political opposition.

The initial version of the legislation referred broadly to “any person.” Menendez’s amendment added “foreign.” Additional language in the bill defined “foreign person” to exclude “an entity organized under the laws of the United States or of any jurisdiction within the United States, including a foreign branch of such an entity.”

Citgo is one such entity. The company is incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Houston, Texas. Under the amended version of the bill, the president would not be authorized to target Citgo or PDVSA exports to its U.S. subsidiary.

The irrational and illogical arguments of the Left indicate just out of ammo they are.

If they actually believed their ideas would work, they would be talking ideas and proposals.

But, as it is, all they can do is make wildly untrue claims about Trump and the "haters" that voted for him.

The American public schools were infiltrated in the 1930s and they got TOTAL control of ALL curricula by 1970s.

They are destroying virtue formation in children so they remain evil, immoral, ignorant and incapable of individualism (thinking outside the State controlled box). It is intention to “kill God” (Christian worldview) to warp little children so they are only capable of seeing “Snow is Black”—Fichte’s 1810 plan to destroy “Free Will” in children so they are incapable of “thinking” (being human). (Google it—Fichte quote, 1810, Free Will, Snow is Black). That is their PLAN with PRUSSIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM WHICH EVIL John Dewey implemented with Horace Mann to ERASE the Christian worldview in the vast majority of American children. (The only worldview which rid the world of Slavery, pederasty, incest, etc., which is allowed in the Talmud, Koran, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc.). It is the ONLY TRUE JUSTICE SYSTEM (ethics) which Americans ADOPTED-—the Christian Ethic system ONLY—which has to be destroyed to destroy virtue in our Justice System (Justice is the Queen of Virtue). Without Virtue formation in children, there can be no Freedom (Socrates/Founders).

They would be cattle, like Maddow, who can just repeat Lies and Disinformation that was fed to them and repeated OVER AND OVER for 12 years so that Slavery (socialism) is Freedom, Up is Down, Vice (sodomizing others and baby-killing) is Virtue and Boys can be Girls.

They have to destroy ALL Natural Instincts in little children and that is what the System does-—warps children, removes them from the Natural Family and Nature (Reality) and puts them into artificial group (non) think factories which destroys the integration of the brain which NEEDS UNSTRUCTURED TIME TO FORM CONNECTIONS. Children are being programmed by computers, TV, Movies, “Teachers” who are “Facilitators of the State”, and they will be INCAPABLE of having a true Christian Worldview and be able of critical thought.

They have NO TOOLS FOR IT-—no understanding of Natural Law Theory (science/common sense), Socratic Method, Aristotelian Logic, Euclidean geometry— so they will be just repeating the Lies they were programmed with...

Only Christian worldview created the Age of Reason, and Modern Science and the US Constitution. Abstract profound thinking is impossible with tribal, programmed, collective minds. THere can be NO individual Natural Rights from God——ONLY from the State (Man)-—which will be total slavery.

The Progressive, Marxist plan in the 1800s was to destroy the Christian worldview in the masses. (They are doing it-—get your children OUT of their satanic, evil SYSTEM ).

It looks like Rachel’s condition has mutated from Bush derangement syndrome into Trump Derangement Syndrome.
