Does anyone ever call Maduro out on his poo poo when he makes these 'the US are planning to invade/my assassination/contaminate our precious bodily fluids' statements, and if not, why not?

Sorry, if this sounds dim. But what's to stop a Venezuelan expat from mailing a book with some dollars or euros stuffed inside? Seems a lot easier than loving around with bitcoins.

I used to be on the Venezuela Solidarity mailing list for years (I was looking for that Irish doc about the 2002 coup attempt, and they sent me a free copy and a shitload of pamphlets and stuff), but can't recall the last time I got a mail from them. There was a hysterical update they sent once about a freebie trip where they were being shown around by their PSUV handlers. It was usefulidiots.txt A quick Google shows they seemed to have gotten a lot quieter after Chavez croaked. They were/are funded by Unite which is the biggest trade union here in the UK.

Would one of the Venezuelans kindly expand a little on Lorenzo Mendosa? He gets mentioned a lot and Maduro seems to really, really hate him. I know he's the head of Polar, so can understand why he, and his family's firm, are being mentioned during this time of shortages. But does he get involved in politics directly? Making speeches, giving interviews etc. I don't get why he in particular gets so much attention from Maduro and the PSUV.

Thank you for the replies earlier re: Mendoza. Another question that I've been wondering about. What does the average Venezuelans diet look like these days? Are there fresh fruits and vegetables? Did you run out of beer yet?

El Hefe posted:Yeah, there are a few reliable door to door companies and also DHL but all the options are expensive. Jesus, you aren't wrong. I don't believe I've ever used DHL before (I'm in the UK and use Royal Mail for everything), but the quotes on their site are steep. Almost £60 for a 3kg parcel and £80 for 7kg (the next price band). If we were to do this as a goon project then it'd make more sense for me to PayPal money to one of the Americans here.

Saladman posted:I hope you're not still in this thread by the time I skip 100 posts to get to the mots recent one, but I'd just like to say: you're a real scumbag. If what you say is true, and you've been in Venezuela for Vice, I've (a) lost a lot of respect for Vice, which I'm generally a huge fan of, and (b) you're a fuckwit for trying to fit everything into your paradigm of "anyone who claims they are leftist = good; anyone who is against someone who claimed to leftist first = right wing = bad". Just because you talked to some people attacking police doesn't mean they represent the entire opposition. loving 80% of the country is against Maduro. How the poo poo is Maduro a leftist? He's a kleptocrat to end all kleptocrats. He makes most of the Arab dictators look like good people. He's not a Vice reporter, he's a common variety D+D shitposter.

Bob le Moche posted:It's relevant to getting an understanding of the situation if it's what people believe and what motivates their actions. It's relevant if this is the picture of Lopez that people who support his arrest have, no matter if they've been fed it by propaganda, or it's not proper legal justification, or whatever, because it *is* a factor in understanding what is going on! (beyond "PSUV is just craaazy") By systematically leaving out of your reporting any allusion to any narrative out there that makes the opposition look bad, and reacting super defensively when someone asks you why you did so, you run the risk of being the one who comes off as a propaganda mouthpiece to anyone who doesn't already agree with you. People who've been reading this thread were confused about why they were hearing about someone being set on fire, and other things that were never mentioned in pro-opposition outlets or acts of violence by the opposition. They genuinely believed it was made up of whole cloth by crazy people because they trusted you to have told them about it otherwise. Paragraphs are a CIA plot.

I have no idea why the recent influx of Highly Informed Commentators are sperging out so much about the Venezuelan opposition. After lurking these threads for years, the one overwhelming impression I've got is that the MUD are a pack of clueless, barely competent time-wasters. Go back 30 or 40 pages and you'll see the Venezuelans in this thread (the only people who matter frankly) consistently bitch about the ability of these numbnuts to shoot themselves in the foot. But now we're told, at punishing length, that these clowns are in fact Freikorps 2.0.
