Axis of Logic Comment: This video shown on Mario Silva's "Razorblade Program" on VTV reveals the truth about the students' "non-violent, peaceful protests" claimed by the Venezuelan opposition against the constitutional reforms. It's important to note that these protests are being carried out by the Venezuelan students from wealthy, Venezuela families. It also shows the "violent police oppression" against them.
Watch the students uproot trees, destroy public property, overturn dumpsters, attack the police with clubs and knock police off police vehicles with street barricades set up to contain them. Watch them pour raw gasoline into a police vehicle with the police in and on the vehicle. But the hatred revealed in the faces and attitudes of the students say even more about who and what they are than their acts of violence.
Watch the incredible restraint demonstrated by the extremely well-trained, professional Venezuelan police and National Guard. Note the police and NG using humane tactics to deny them the ability to chain themselves to the doors of the National Assembly. See them arrest violent protestors with no beatings and without use of tasers or pepper spray.
These CIA-backed, NED (Washington) funded, violent thugs benefit from low-cost education subsidized by the Venezuelan government and eat low-cost food purchased at the expense of all the Venezuelan people. As one who has participated in many anti-war protests, I can affirm that were anti-war protestors to attack the police in the United States like these students attack police, they would be shot dead - no question about it. The video opens with Romer Alvarado, a student spokesman complaining on opposition private media about whatever blemish might lie beneath a small bandage on his forehead. If you cannot speak Spanish - no problem - one picture is worth 10,000 words. This video is worth watching through to the end. - Les Blough, Editor
