Washington routinely meddles but now has gone far beyond mere meddling. Washington has this day (January 23, 2019) declared that the elected president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, is no longer the Venezuelan president. Washington, not the Venezulan people, has decided who is Venezuela\u2019s president. Declaring the elected government to be \u201cillegitimate,\u201d President Trump elected by diktat the Venezuelan president: \u201cToday, I am officially recognizing the President of the Venezuelan National Assembly, Juan Guaido, as the Interim President of Venezuela.\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/449533-trump-recognizes-venezuela-opposition\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&nbsp;https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/449533-trump-recognizes-venezuela-opposition\/&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clearly, Gaido is in Washington\u2019s pocket or Washington would not have chosen him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maduro, like Chavez before him, has committed the unpardonable crime of representing the Venezuelan people instead of American corporate and financial interests. Washington simply does not tolerate Latin American governments that represent Latin American people. As US Marine General Smedley Buttler said, he and his Marines made Latin America safe for the United Fruit Company and investments by US banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, now Venezuela has two presidents. One elected by the people, and one appointed by Washington. How long before Washington does this to Russia, China, Iran, Syria, Turkey, India?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Washington managed to frame and remove from power the female reformist president of Argentina and to replace her with a right-wing Washington puppet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Washington managed to frame, remove from power, and imprison the leaders of the reformist party in Brazil and to install a right-wing Washington puppet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Washington managed to dispose of the reformist government in Ecuador, install a Washington puppet, and use him against Julian Assange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington Has Appointed A President For Venezuela After listening since 2016 to the American presstitutes complain, without providing a mere scrap of evidence, of Russia meddling in US elections, a person would think that the last thing Washington would do would be to meddle in other countries\u2019 elections.&nbsp; Unfortunately, that is not the case.
