Many rural poor are in a dangerous Catch-22: stay inside and starve or venture out and face arrest...

Venezuela is hard hit by low oil prices, by strife, by socialism, by government on steroids and the poor quality of their oil. When oil is expensive, their mix Venuela crude with better oil. Now?

And this is all because DC hates their lack of a Rothschild central bank, right?

No. Socialism does not work. They are Latinos and increased their population 5 times since 1950. And the Rothschilds loved Communism when it was Jewish. Had America fight two wars to benefit the Jewish Soviets. Plus their oil is expensive to pump and is contaminated. It has to be mized with cheaper and higher grade oil to sell it at all.

It's clearly DC that's pushed them over the cliff, and the federal rats have prolly been subverting them since Chávez's time. It would fit together rather neatly since he did the unthinkable (and desperately needed) by tossing the Israeli ambassadors out of VZ.

Good on him. No Israeli embassy ever benefited a host nation.

Do you have any links to show this to be true? What contaminates are in their oil?

Are you also aware that at the start of the Serbia-Bosnia War the U.S. bombed and dropped all of the bridges over the Danube River, thus stopping the flow of cheap Russian oil to French and German refineries?

If Russian oil was contaminated why would Germany and France be wanting it so they could refine it?

I think it is high in Sulfur which environmentalists object to. It is mixed with cheaper and better oil so they can sell it. If I were a refiner and had environmental regulators screaming at me, I would never blend high sulfur oil into my refinery. It also expensive to get out of the ground.

China is picking up slack with them purchasing 1 million tonnes of Russian crude. ;)
