Rubio\u2019s Gloating Betrays US Sabotage in Venezuela Power Blitz <\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

American gangsterism towards Venezuela is being exposed for the naked aggression that it is.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

U<\/strong>S imperialists are so desperate in their regime-change predations over Venezuela, they seem to have a problem controlling their drooling mouths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest orgy of American gloating was triggered by the massive power outages to have hit Venezuela. No sooner had the South American country been blacked out from its power grid collapsing, senior US officials were crowing with perverse relish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican Senator Marco Rubio \u2013 who has become a point man for the Trump administration in its regime-change campaign in Venezuela \u2013 was a little too celebratory. Within minutes of the nationwide power outage<\/a> last Thursday, Rubio was having verbal orgasms about the \u201clong-term economic damage\u201d\u2026 \u201cin the blink of an eye\u201d. But it was his disclosure concerning the precise damage in the power grid that has led the Venezuelan government to accuse the US of carrying out sabotage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Information Minister Jorge Rodriguez noted<\/a> how Rubio, in his tweeted comments \u201cthree minutes\u201d after the power outage, mentioned the failure of \u201cback-up generators\u201d in Venezuela\u2019s main hydroelectric plant, known as the Guri Dam, located in Bolivar State. The dam supplies some 80 percent of the Venezuelan population of 31 million with its electricity consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rodriguez mockingly ascribed \u201cmystic skills\u201d to Rubio because the Florida Republican senator appeared to know the precise nature of the power failure even before the Venezuelan authorities had determined it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Venezuelan government has since claimed that the failure in the electric grid was caused by a cyberattack on the computer system controlling the Guri Dam turbines. Caracas said it will present proof of its claims to the United Nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from Rubio\u2019s apparent insider information, there are several other indicators that Venezuela\u2019s latest turmoil from power blackout was indeed caused by US sabotage, and specifically a cyberattack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
