The U.S. Media Unsurprisingly Fails to Present the Venezuelan Government’s Version of why Maria Corina Machado has been Barred from Running for President

 Today the U.S. government announced the
re-implementation of economic sanctions against Venezuela in response to the
decision of the Venezuela supreme court to bar María Corina Machado from participating
in the upcoming presidential elections. On more than one occasion, Machado
called for U.S. military intervention in Venezuela. The country that is trying
to extradite Julian Assange for “treason,” certainly knows what that word
means. In the following video, Machado calls for the “use of international force”
as the only means to restore democracy in Venezuela. When asked whether she was
calling for a military invasion, Machado refrained from denying that this was
her intention. Obviously, it was. And on countless occasions she also called
for the tightening of U.S. imposed sanctions on Venezuela. Few countries in the
world, if any, would tolerate this from a leading politician.
