I hope she made sure her skiff didn't have six 300 hp outboards on the stern.

“The Venezuelan opposition leader was trying to get to Norway by Wednesday in time to receive the Nobel Peace Prize that she won for challenging Venezuela’s authoritarian leader, Nicolás Maduro. First she had to get from the Caracas suburb where she has been in hiding for a year to a coastal fishing village, where a skiff awaited her.”

The US managed to get Machado out of Venezuela. In order to leave Venezuela in secret, she wore a wig, made it past 10 military checkpoints on the way to the coast, rode a wooden boat through strong winds and choppy seas to Curaçao" They then put her on a private plane on the way to Norway for the propaganda show with the Nobel Peace Prize.
What’s happening is happening and Maduro is a Commie to be sure.
Trump is flawed but he is not a Communist by a longshot heck the POTUS may be under the influence of Bibi Netanyahu since Maduro is buddies with Iran and opposed to Israel.
But the stuff is hitting the fan maybe even a distraction from release of the Epstein Files but it happens.
Quite the pilgrimage she just went through in order to get to Norway. What I’m a bit confused about is that she went through all this to arrive in Norway and did reach the country, only to have her daughter accept the award in her place? Did I read that correctly?
**The reporters are describing way too much detail about how she traveled out. I think they want citizens who helped her escape Venezuela to be identified and punished by Maduro’s thugs.
She was in such poor health when she arrived in Norway that she had to be hospitalized so h er daughter accepted the award.
IF I was Maduro…….I’d be leaving NOW.
I think it’s going to get rough for him.
Thanks for the clarification. Poor Lady. She’s gone through the wringer. Just focusing on this trip she made, with it’s backstory, would make a great live play or Docu-type movie.
Seems like yesterday all the Hollywood celebrities were praising Hugo Chavez as some socialist hero. Now they’re all pretending they had nothing to do with him.
Your grasp of the blatantly obvious is truly staggering.
I hope she made sure her skiff didn't have six 300 hp outboards on the stern.
Silly to mention the Epstein files. They didn’t “out” Trump. Far from it, which is why the subject is dropped like a hot potato. The names being names are all Leftist/Demonrats— worldwide. See: Larry Summers (Screwtape’s slave worker, given in to animali perversion, and looks quite wasted for the effort.As does King Charle’s stupid a@@ brother and his pervo “wyf” Fergie (couple rates at Lolita Little St. James Island).
Trump is a champion of Opportunity economics (never mind Capitalist- which is a word created by Karl Marx in “Das Kapital”. For fun, find the chapter in Malcolm Forbes’ book “What happened to their Children”, on Karl Marx— most of them suicided, or starved to death because the Communist lived off of the guilt ridden Engels, and starved his family in rigid idiotic abuse. It’s all in that chapter. A great book, btw.)
and anyone should care, Why ?
3 out of the last 4 peace winners were undeserving including her.
Did I say Trump was implicated in the Epstein Files no I didn’t but as Trump told MTG people are ‘going to be hurt’ by their release.
Trump certainly has to be thinking about them.
collaborator?
lol, that’s what I was thinking, too. I would be saying, let’s take the tiny slow-looking one over there with all the fishing nets and gear in it.
Club of Three: Venezuela and Brazil bar leading opposition presidential candidates from running for office, just like...

Under the news radar, two ugly power grabs from a pair of would-be Marxist dictators were announced yesterday from South America.
From socialist Venezuela:
CARACAS (Reuters) -Maria Corina Machado, one of the favorites to win the Venezuelan opposition’s nomination for president in an October primary, has been barred from holding public office for 15 years, the country’s controller general said in a letter.
Machado, a 55-year-old industrial engineer and former lawmaker, is leading polling for the 13-candidate primary, convened to select a unity candidate to face socialist President Nicolas Maduro in a 2024 election.
A previous ban placed on her has been expanded because Machado supported sanctions by the United States on the Maduro government and backed former opposition leader Juan Guaido, the letter said.
From socialist Brazil:
Brazil’s far-right ex-president Jair Bolsonaro vowed Friday to appeal a court ruling barring him from public office for eight years over unfounded attacks he had made against the country’s voting system.
The ruling renders the 68-year-old ineligible to stand in the next presidential election in 2026 — opening the contest for a new leader for Brazil’s political right.
Bolsonaro was tried by the Superior Electoral Tribunal (TSE) over claims he made in a televised meeting with foreign diplomats in July 2022, during which he claimed electronic voting machines in use since 1996 compromised election transparency....

I would wager that a Seal Team was her escort through and out of Venezuela.
She was met by a private contractor who specialized in extractions and was supplied by the Trump administration,
