These groups, comprised mainly of the right-wing opposition, have been leading violent protests in Caracas since last February. US leaders blame the Venezuelan leadership, headed by the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, for the deaths of 43 people during such demonstrations, which included both government supporters and opponents.<\/p>\n<p>This charge has been widely disputed as an attempt for the American Eagle of Imperialism to dig its talons into Venezuela. As reported by Al-Jazeera, \u201cDespite the widely accepted and facile media narrative about the government\u2019s culpability for the origins of the protests and the ensuing violence, there is convincing evidence that Venezuela\u2019s right-wing antagonists bear much of the blame.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is no secret that right-wing antagonists in Venezuela have been receiving US support. In New Eastern Outlook, journalist Caleb Maupin reported, \u201cThe so-called \u2018Venezuelan opposition,\u2019 which includes many open admirers of fascist dictators Francisco Franco and Augusto Pinochet, has received over $100 million in funding from the United States over the last twelve years.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exporting Fascism: US Imperialism in Latin America The US sanctions against Venezuela, signed into law by President Barack Obama on December 18, 2014, resulted from charges of protestors\u2019 rights being violated by the socialist government of President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro.
