One wonders if Antonio Ledezma is gooing to set up a government in exile. Could not be worse than what Venezuela has now.

What is it going to take for the communist Venezuelan regime to collapse already?

Most likely a lot of dead Venezuelans.

Would some of our many criminals in Congress be interested in going to Columbia?

I have a neighbor that wants to be the next leader of Venezuela and is for all practical purposes in exile while he communicates with compadres on the ground. I must keep his identity hidden but he is a highly educated (American universities) man who believes in democracy. From what I gather he has very strong support from the middle and upper middle population whats left of it. He’s actually planning a move soon to Colombia so he can cross the border when the student population is fully armed by our CIA. I anticipate some full scale violence within the next 6 months as patriots will try and get their country back from the fascist regime.

I could care less about what happens in communist countries. Cuba, Venezuela, Zimbabwe. Starve for all I care. The U.S. just better not send aid.

The U.S. just better not send aid. For me it depends on the type of aid. Certainly not food that only helps the communist regime in power, but weapons to those opposing the communist regime in power? That I would support.
To: Robert DeLong
Arm the opposition. Sure. Food? Tell them to eat copies of “The Communist Manifesto”.

The country is in financial default, the bond holders are threatening to seize Venezuelan’ oil shipments, the average subject has lost 20 lbs. but this zombie country still goes on and on.

I could care less about what happens in communist countries.Some people are of the opinion that they voted for this so they had it coming. I believe that Chavez stole the elections. In in case the national security of America would be better served if the curent government in Venezuela was overthrown.

Very true, but the Venezuelans have boarders with Columbia, Guyana and Brazil, surly there are routes to smuggle ideas, supplies and weapons to over throw the regime.

I am told that the Venezuelan students will be getting small arms and grenades soon. They have been murdered in the streets for simply protesting unarmed. They want to fight back. It is such a shame that a country rich with natural resources should suffer under two bit dictators that only enrich themselves and their corrupt buddies.
