      This spiteful article is probably part of the US war campaign against Venezuela. Leftist Debunks John Oliver's Venezuela Episode this video A Brief History of U.S. Dirty Wars in Central America That Set the Stage for the Refugee Crisis [LINK] US Senator Rubio pushes for Venezuela to be placed on US state terrorism sponsors list – report [LINK] ‘Bolton is preparing plan for my assassination, with help from Bogota’ – Venezuela’s Maduro [LINK] Besides US agents are involved in the media secretly and openly (CNN, Fox News,... promoting the conspiracy and lie that should justify the publically well known war e.g. Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Syria). What western media company is outraged regarding the situation of journalist Julian Assange ? The Guardian/Politico Psyop Against WikiLeaks [LINK] Besides: This comment might be my last comment on HN because I can not create replies because I am posting too fast according to HN.

    3. @zyxzevnAug 2018· in “Venezuela President Maduro 'survives drone attack'”

      The media dramatically misinforms us about Venezuela: this video And calls for war with "humour". I must be old, but it looks similar to me as the "humour" that Germany had before invading Poland.
