so in Venezuela we have Regina protests
it's actually not getting as much coverage i think is a should its
fascinating in this case is venezuelan President Nicolas
Maduro whose a socialist whose actually
clamping down on his own
people that he thinks a right-wing now look we talked about this before me on
Turks mature says hey listen
we had three protest back in 2002 and May were organized by the CIA
and there was a coup attempt on Hugo Chavez and it was led partly by the
guided
is now the opposition against wood door that would euro is in prison
so I understand that point of view does that give you the right to go around
killing the protesters no
as I give you a ride to imprison people preemptively as I think he has done with
the opposition leader he claims of course is the opposition is
terrorist but every government says that their opposition as terrorists now
so there are clearly abuses in Venezuela
and Amnesty International on the human rights group
other noting these abuses are not part of some capless agenda and then up are
the CIA
and the claim so is rediculous so
but now a at least 15 people have died in those protests
and is a fascinating no part of this that
are a lot of us here in the US had no idea about
and I did know about honestly its biker gangs
dinner pro-government they're called
colic Tebow's and never know but you're saying that impair the government
and they actually attacked the protesters who are calling for more
democracy
now sometimes I'll just do Mar that's great
no problem the nest their part a democracy make sense
but then other times they will actually go on the warpath
and they will actually attack people now sometimes ages 2 to scare them to attack
with the motorcycles a firecracker the center and other times I'll actually be
the living crap out of people
and kill them so collectibles are
described here has in fact they describe themselves as
a socialist anti-imperialist anti-capitalist
and their activities include vigilantism
and social cleansing here's what I'm not interested in
any group that those social cleansing okay
so now again it's complicated it's not a black-and-white issue
because they also do some good things they this is also funny because they're
biker gang in essence
the run community services like bookstores summer camps
wonder what's in those jams and pensioner
coffee mornings hey everybody come out this go to your passions in
drink coffee then it's only time by the pages Anderson
and as you can see from the first video there's a wide range there obviously
peaceful people
that care about but local bookstore at cellar
Center socialism means secure a combination of private industry the
public industry
working towards a it you know the benefit of the people
so there's a lot that could be said that are in that's in favor of this okay
but what how they are conducting themselves right now in the middle the
protests
well there's now a positive things to say about the exam sure you a different
video
and this is where they are now attacking the protesters watch
group
black gotta go
ID go home and be on WoW yeah
yeah
for
yeah
I recall or boy
a so now one other government officials are prisons Minister
says the opposition was quote should scared other collectables
okay and you would think that you might be saying that like who they know that's
problematic
no he adds there are fundamental pillar
in the defense all the homeland how
it's scary when the left wing gets radical
they look a lot like the right-wing with the radical
when they to start on a defensive the homeland and social cleansing
that doesn't help anybody Wednesday
so its im amazing how the political spectrum
is not necessarily a straight line but a circle and the extremes on both side
sometimes me
unfortunately it appears that's what's happening in Venezuela so some other
actors a mature or
on justifiable and no matter who you think urs
organizing the protests if they're your people and their bed as well as they
most certainly are in the streets at this point well
you've got a lot on protest peacefully
