Ruling Bolivarian United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) candidates face US- supported Democratic Unity Roundtable (MUD) fascists. During hard times of economic weakness, high inflation, and other major problems, Bolivarian social justice faces its stiffest challenge. Preserving it is crucial for the welfare of millions of poor and low-income Venezuelans, benefitting hugely from its vital services, ones most Americans cant imagine - including free universal healthcare and education to the highest levels, low-cost housing and subsidized food, at risk of being curtailed or lost if fascists prevail with a large enough legislative majority. President Maduros executive authority can mitigate much of what theyd like to institute. Given a legislative foot in the door would be a first step toward returning Venezuela to its bad old days, essential to prevent. PSUV governance and Bolivarian popular movements so far prevented erosion of whats vital to preserve - the hemispheres best social democracy, what Washington spent the last 16 years trying to subvert and eliminate, continuing its imperial efforts, wanting US-controlled puppet governance replacing Bolivarian fairness. US media scoundrels one-sidedly oppose it, supporting fascist governance over democracy. Venezuelas open, free and fair electoral process is the worlds best, shaming Americas sham system, assuring money-controlled business as usual wins every time. New York Times editors bashed Venezuelas model electoral process, headlining Venezuelas Threatened Elections, outrageously claiming Maduro will render the legislative branch toothless, if MUD candidates win a majority. He assured Venezuelans hell continue Bolivarian preservation efforts - at the same time openly pledging to honor Sundays results no matter how they turn out. MUD refused, likely to instigate destabilizing activities if PSUV candidates prevail. Times editors lied, claiming Maduro arbitrarily prosecuted political opponents and unfairly disqualified opposition leaders from running for office. PSUV opposition figures involved in instigating violence and seditious activities (including collusion with Washington to overthrow Maduros government) were justifiably prosecuted for their high crimes. A US-attempted coup was foiled. Times editors outrageously called Hugo Chavez a would-be dictator
a ruinous demagogue, and other pejoratives. He was a model democrat, Maduro carrying his torch, facing unrelenting US-instigated destabilizing activities. Times editors disgracefully called him a pariah - an apt description of US duopoly governance, along with calling it the greatest threat to world peace and security. Times editors endorse Venezuelan fascists, reprehensibly calling them the remedy Venezuelas economy (and) democratic institutions need. Washington Post editors headlined A turning point for Venezuela, absurdly saying Sundays elections may determine whether (it) can find a democratic path to solve its economic and other problems. If the votes are counted fairly, (MUD) should win a comfortable majority
giving it the ability to counter
Maduro. WaPo editors lied, claiming hell react violently if MUD prevails. They support fascist governance prevailing over Bolivarian social democracy. Wall Street Journal columnist Mary OGrady notoriously reinvents history, winning awards for proliferating imperial Big Lies, supporting monied interests exclusively, defending the indefensible - virulently anti-Bolivarian. In mid-November, she lied, saying Venezuelas Maduro Wont Give Up Power
(H)ell ignore the December election if his party loses.
Venezuela has not held a fair election in at least a dozen years, and its not likely that this one will be different. Fact: It bears repeating and stressing! Its electoral process is the worlds best. Jimmy Carter recognized it as the best in the world, scrupulously open, free and fair, none like it anywhere as democratic. OGrady represents powerful monied interests, compensating her well for proliferating Big Lies, reprehensibly bashing chavista tyranny, supporting fascists interests over social democratic ones. Get ready for a Cuban-style crackdown if MUD prevails on Sunday, she trumpeted - a duplicitous lie along with claiming Chavez orchestrated a coup
against the countrys democracy (and) Maduro
admitt(ed) (its) dead. You cant make this stuff up. Its hard imagining anyone takes OGradys rants seriously. Responsible editors wouldnt touch it. Journal editors feature it - part of their longstanding campaign against Bolivarian social democracy, endorsing fascists on Sunday to replace it, along with OGrady. If PSUV candidates prevail, expect MUD, Washington and Western media scoundrels to holler foul - perhaps followed by US-orchestrated street violence and more lawless sanctions imposed.
