47. Love that Eva Golinger. So glad to see she referred to the massacre
which was visited upon the poor of Caracas by one of the Bush family friends, Carlos Andres Perez, when he ordered his troops to fire into the crowds of protesting poor people after they were informed he had raised the cost of their transportation 200%.

That point can't be emphasized enough. This man is well received in the U.S., has two homes here, in New York and Miami, and he's a celebrity with the Venezuelan "opposition," despite the fact he was caught embezzling millions and millions from the Venezuelan treasury, stashing them in banks outside the country, even New York, impeached for his embezzlement and massive corruption, and sentenced to prison, which was altered to allow him home detention, and a reduced sentence. He's a filthy, murderous bastard, and he's very well thought of by American right-wingers, as well as the Venezuelan oligarchy. He is quoted in newspapers as calling for Hugo Chavez to be shot down in the streets "like a dog."
