editor victoria’s comment ~ wow! day 4? i had not heard of this. how horrible! smells like d/s and maduro….especially considering he’s blaming the U.S. for this (via cyber attack)…maduro and d.s. are likely doing this to draw us into war….will keep on top of this one…holding the people of venezuela in my heart – not that this does anything…this is just shit!….Trump and team are doing some political maneuvering in this: “On Monday, the United States imposed new sanctions on a Russia-based bank that it accused of helping Mr. Maduro’s government circumvent earlier American sanctions.” all part of this ugly game to remove the creatures and restore freedom for ALL….
