Abby Martin – What You’re Not Being Told About Venezuela Crisis

Summary:
Is the Venezuelan crisis orchestrated because you can't buy toilet paper but you can buy tissue paper quite easily? And so a number of other things are strangely not available either, although meat and cheese are plentiful. Abby Martin says that Venezuela  is under financial attack from the US and the Venezuelan elite, and that the price of oil was manipulated to harm the Venezuelan economy to bring its government down.Venezuela sits on top of some of the largest oil reserves in the world and the elite want it. Despite democracy, despite liberal, fair, and decent values that the West proclaims to believe in, and despite 'capitalism ',  where we let the markets decide and the best products win, it seems that the elite sit around and discuss how they are going to grab Venezuela's resources
