Same as they pretended they didnt buy them from the govt. Says they know Maduro will be in power long enough for them to get a positive return on them. Any normal criminal enterprise would have defaulted on this debt by now. Just shows the USA wealthy and hence govt is behind all of this. They know from the inside that the regime will pay this debt and for how long they will be in power. Those rich are making a fortune legally in interest. Then when the regime ends the USA will negotiate a change in power and stipulate behind the seens that these debts need to be paid and they can control any new govt with the terms. These rich rule the world and have no care for human suffering.Canadian Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392005954549946976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-36997963572807646982017-05-30T23:05:07.153+02:002017-05-30T23:05:07.153+02:00It's actually only about $US870 mill and they ...It's actually only about $US870 mill and they got a discount but it'll keep Maduro et al. going for a while.

With unique perspectives and insights. Spoken in realistic, and painfully truthful terms. I think Daniel gives the world and his readers the straight up truth about daily life and the struggles of a beautiful country that has gotten lost in the nightmare of a truly horrific, corrupted, and nefarious Dictatorship.

The current constitution has been completely trampled to no end, the existing assembly has no authority or power, no one believes it is a democracy, the people will be no calmer or happier it is simply the regime doing all it can to aggravate the people and the world. It has absolutely no relevance and will change absolutely nothing. It will assist the opposition as they can stop with the delusion that they have some constitutional power as they never have. Who ever is pulling the strings on the whole ordeal is mocking the people and world at every turn just to show that they can. Likely some rich powerful people who want to show what they can do and likely will find a way to make a fortune doing it. The kind of people who control governments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-81786610029988265432017-05-24T18:14:13.523+02:002017-05-24T18:14:13.523+02:00Daniel

Jones talked about all the 'enemies' of his "People's Temple" but he also told us what he was all about on that tape when he described his organization as "Marxist Leninist".<br /><br />And still to this day there are people who live in their delusion that Communists ("Marxist Leninists") are good people with a good system that would work if it wouldn't be for its 'enemies' like the 'extreme right', the 'CIA' etc. etc.<br />York Reporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16291099899721618413noreply@blogger.com
