"He said the current administration is now trying to use farm profits to pay off about $6 billion still owed creditor nations."
As I understand it, when Argentina's economy went bust--due in large part to World Bank/IMF loan sharks--Venezuela stepped in, with easy, low-interest loans, to help bail Argentina out of World Bank debt. (This was in fact the seed of the Bank of the South.) Is it Venezuelan loans that are at issue in this strike? I don't know if the statement is even true--that the export tax is for paying off loans. But I do know this--that, simultaneously, Exxon Mobil has tried to freeze $12 billion in Venezuela's assets--over a deal about Venezuela's 60% share in its own oil (--a deal that Norway's Statoil, France's Total, British BP and even Chevron all agreed to). Exxon Mobil's action seemed very punitive to me, especially since the real amount at issue is only $1 billion or so. Also, Venezuela is having food shortages as well--brought on by grocery chain hoarding and a black market in food going into Colombia. It sure seems to me that economic warfare is in progress. Could the ultimate target be Venezuela?
One more thing--Venezuela's financial activism, and the Bank of South, have taken big chunks of profit away from the World Bank and its U.S. and "first world" financiers, whose South American portfolio has dramatically declined over the last five years. The World Bank is run by appointed Bushites. They can't be happy about this. Are they trying to make it impossible for Argentina to pay its loans to Venezuela?
Again, there could be a legitimate disagreement--but this is often the case with U.S. interference in South America. They take a legitimate disagreement and turn it into toppling the government--and putting real fuckheads in charge, fuckheads who would think nothing of rounding all these strikers up and shooting them. In Venezuela as well, we have seen the have's use the wannabe have's as their shock troops for destabilizing actions, such as strikes and riotous protests. The fact that smaller farmers and workers are participating doesn't necessarily tell us that the strike and protests aren't being manipulated. The USAID-NED teaches this stuff. How to create a "movement" that benefits the have's--and multinational corporate predators. And right now it's a Bushite USAID-NED! It is active in Venezuela and Bolivia. Has it been doing "trainings" and funding opposition groups in Argentina, too?
Reasonable questions, friend. It's happened before. And we have real bad guys in charge--spending (and stealing) our money hand over fist, in Iraq--unto the 7th generation--to keep control of Iraqi oil.
I can't say one way or the other. I don't have enough info. I'm waiting and seeing. But I DO know that something's up with Bushite policy in South America, and I'm about as sure as I can be that a lot of what we are seeing is the psyops/disinformation and economic warfare preparations for Oil War II.
