Venezuela’s leftist dictator Nicolas Maduro plans to proceed with a vote to create a new constituent assembly to replace the country’s opposition-controlled Congress with a friendly constituent assembly, potentially enabling the embattled despot to redraft the country’s constitution and officially marginalize his political opponents, despite the US’s repeated threats of “strong and swift economic action."

I am 100% the CIA and whatever the Russian equivalent is now will help both sides out on that issue.
Never let the potential for a good proxy war go to waste.

And this is the very, or one of the very reasons for my unwavering support of our second amendment...something similar is trying to rear its ugly head here...

I found this disturbing item in an article about the crisis in Venzuela.
Venezuela’s leftist dictator Nicolas Maduro plans to proceed with a vote to create a new constituent assembly to replace the country’s opposition-controlled Congress with a friendly constituent assembly, potentially enabling the embattled despot to redraft the country’s constitution and officially marginalize his political opponents, despite the US’s repeated threats of “strong and swift economic action."
OK, now. Imagine if the president of the United States (Trump, Obama, whoever) floated a plan to outright replace congress with a new congress full of his political cronies. It would literally be the start of a civil war. And that's what appears to be happening in Venezuela.
Of course the tinpot dictator Maduro is blaming the CIA. Amusingly, Marco Rubio has also been dragged into the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy, after he stated that the US gov't will impose sanctions if the vote happens.

The bigger the government, the more socialist it is.
How big is the US government?

Personally, having raised the issuse of the presence of an Economic Hitman, i reckon people who start these threads have a responsibility to either do the research before hand and be honest about their findings in what they write about a country like Venezuela or admit they carrying water for someone whose identity they choose to not reveal and for reasons they choose not to disclose.
The only other alternative, as i see it, is that its a deliberate attempt to cover the Economic Hitman's tracks.
Opposition figures in Venezuela Leopoldo Lopez and Antonio Ledezma's house arrests were revoked Tuesday morning after violating the conditions of the agreement that allowed their freedom under special conditions.
Lopez had urged Venezuelans to take to the streets to block the roads to prevent the election of the National Constituent Assembly, along with Henrique Capriles. In June, while he was still in prison, he published a video asking the military to rebel against the government.
Ledezma also sent similar messages before and during the election.
