RE: The Latin American Report # 202

I think the desperation of the banksters to quell inflation creates great power for Chavists that control the vast oil reserves of Venezuela, because they have also implored the Ukraine to not attack Russian oil infrastructure. Oil underlies every industry, and if oil prices rise, every price rises, forcing interest rates higher, and the banksters are faced with conjuring even more dollars out of thin air, which accelerates the coming global economic collapse too quickly, before they can finalize their financial positions of immunity to it.
The USA has become a one party 'Democracy', as Kennedy, Biden, and Trump are all lifelong Democrats, with Trump running as a Republican because 'Republicans are easier to lie to', as he told Oprah Winfrey when she interviewed him decades ago (although the interview has been censored and that statement by Trump cannot be found on the internet anymore. I know it was said by him because I saw it, back before it was politically meaningful). Kennedy runs as an independent because the Democratic Party decided not to hold primary elections and allow any challenge to the incumbent nominee, Biden. Like the Soviet Union under Stalin, China today, or (I think) Cuba, American democracy has become a sham with only one real political party (although that is hardy worse than a two party system, where one party is simply the official controlled opposition). It is quite ironic that it is the Democratic Party that has destroyed American democracy.
The disruption of the Americas politically does not end at the US borders, neither north nor south, as Canada is even further advanced towards despotism, even more ironically under Castro's son by Margaret Trudeau. Cuba definitely punched above it's weight in the economic contest with the West. While Cuba certainly has economic trouble today, the USA literally teeters on the brink of Communofascism, sucked into the wake Canada leaves in it's plunge off the precipice.
Thanks!
I find the Venezuelan issue, which I will return to later today, very interesting. Maduro has done all he has wanted. In the beginning, the West said that the limit was in the disqualification of Maria Corina. Still, they silently accepted the fact that she was not going to be on the final ballot. Now they asked Maduro to allow the designated substitute to run, something he has not consented to. An official of the WH has made a rather quiet statement on the situation, as if with little desire to restart the sanctions. So it seems to confirm his views on the matter.
On the rest of your comment, I have always found the crossovers from one camp to the other between Democrats and Republicans very interesting, or the support given to both political formations by big donors like Trump--before running for office. It has also seemed to me that the Republicans are more "democratic" when it comes to choosing their representative in the presidential elections, unlike the "Democrats", who have always reserved for themselves the ability to choose a certain candidate according to the interests of the party bosses.
