Who are the real invaders?

Who are the real invaders?
By Álvaro Fernández Last updated Aug 21, 2019

The Miami Herald has recently written editorials favoring plans devised by a convicted felon, Elliott Abrams, and proven liars like John Bolton and Sen. Marco Rubio, to starve hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans.

Listen to what Francisco Rodríguez, a leading Venezuelan economist and critic of the Maduro government, told Aaron Maté in an interview for The Grayzone: “At this moment, given the information that we have, the most reasonable conclusion based on the data is that a famine is going to occur in Venezuela over the course of the next 12 months… I’m very concerned by the lack of discussion about what we’re going to do to stop hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans from starving to death.”

And still, my hometown paper, instead of dealing with this real and possible tragedy, this past week decides to publish a front-page, lead story whose headline read: “Epstein traveled to Cuba at Castro’s invitation, former Colombian president says.” After reading it carefully, I found that it was just another Herald attempt trying to equate Cuba’s Castro with this year’s biggest monster. A man responsible for the heinous treatment of young women using the power of his money. There was nothing, absolutely nothing to the Epstein and Castro story.

I assure you that hundreds of good guys, and hundreds of bad guys have been to Cuba since Epstein traveled there. If those hundreds came and went and nothing of major importance occurred… why would it merit a front page article in the Miami Herald?
