Max Blumenthal : The Venezuelan Deception.(Judging Freedom)

Max reports that a cabal of anti-Venezuelan Cuban American warhawks at home, and neocons, are pushing for regime change despite an oil deal being on the table. Drug trafficking from Venezuela, according to the DEA, is negligible. Meanwhile, tons of drugs are being shipped in from Central America and Mexico, allies of the USA, and little is done about it. An excellent short interview also touching on war crimes being carried out as the US military hits small boats allegedly carrying drugs. Some of these vessels are undoubtedly fishing boats, and no declaration of war has been enacted. These strikes mirror the sort of illegal operations conducted on the Afghan-Pakistan border when Obama was President.   

Note: The clip opens with talk about Netanyahu's attempt to get a pardon to avoid jail time in Israel.
