Last week Jimmy Carter fired off letters to Venezuela’s
fraudulent President Nicolas Maduro and to Venezuela’s defrauded Presidential
candidate Enrique Capriles expressing “grave concern” regarding the political
turmoil and bloodshed convulsing their nation. From his pulpit at Emory
University’s Carter Center, the former U.S. president calls for “dialogue”
among the embattled Venezuelan parties and offers to visit the troubled
nation--but not as a formal “mediator.”
The news of Carter’s proposed Venezuela visit was only
hours old when alarmed Venezuelan anti-socialists sent out an SOS: “Please,
desist from your trip,” reads an open letter from Venezuelan blogger/journalist
Daniel Duquenal. “You have absolutely no credibility in Venezuela…You have
cursed us enough as it is. I can assure you that half of the country has no
respect nor credibility for you and the other half (the Castroites) thinks you
are a mere fool that they can use and discard as needed.”
Venezuelan continues as a veritable battleground between
hundreds of thousands of protestors and thousands of Cuban-trained government
police and national guardsmen. Fifteen protestors have been shot dead, hundreds
arrested and thousands injured. “I feel as if this were a war zone,” said one
resident of the far-western city of San Cristobal, long known for it’
anti-Chavista activism.
Desperate to cow that area’s rebellious residents Maduro
even sent some his regime’s Russian-built Sukhoi warplanes to buzz (but not yet
bomb) the area. “It doesn’t matter if it takes a month, two months, three
months. We have to get rid of this government.” Said one desperate protestor.
This is a very unequal battle. The protestors have
overwhelming numbers on their side, but the Cuba-puppet regime has the guns,
the planes, the tanks, the truncheons and the tear gas. Better still (for the
Venezuelan regime) the hands-on tutelage of their repressive apparatus comes
courtesy of a regime (Castro’s) that jailed political prisoners at a higher
rate than Stalin’s during the Great Terror, and murdered more Cubans in his
first three years in power than Hitler‘s murdered Germans during his first six.
No “security specialists” in the Western Hemisphere can boast anything close to
these credentials on their CV.
So like anyone else with stellar credentials Castro’s
military and police advisors demand top price for their services. Last year
Venezuelan subsidies to Cuba totaled $10 billion. That’s more than double what
the Soviets used to send. No, Castro’s KGB-trained murderers and torturers will
not work for peanuts.
Alas, Castro’s “security” assistance to Maduro’s regime
has lately been revealed as more than strictly “advisory.” Venezuelan social
media (the only type still functioning freely in this Cuban satrapy) is leaking
out some tragi-comedies: “You’re not Venezuelan!” yells a demonstrator to a
heavily armed national Guardsman. “Then sing the Venezuelan national anthem!”
and of course the man in the Venezuelan Guardsman’s uniform cannot.
Jimmy Carter has a long and illustrious history of
“mediation” in disputed Venezuelan elections, dating back to 1998. In every
case his mediation served to legitimize the electoral fraud of Venezuela’s
Castroites and socialists. In fact the international legitimacy of Maduro’s
fraudulent presidency owes much to Carter himself.
“The voting part” of it was ‘free and fair,” declared
Jimmy Carter after Maduro “won” the elections of April, 2013 shortly after
Hugo’ Chavez death. “Venezuela probably has the most excellent voting system
that I have ever known,” he concluded. Maybe if Jimmy Carter spent less time
watching Wayne’s World and more time listening to the Venezuelan opposition
he’d know that election was blatantly stolen by Maduro.
Jimmy Carter’s relationship with Venezuela’s current
colonial overlords may explain his solicitude for the welfare of the Maduro
regime. To wit:
“We greeted each other as old friends,” gushed Jimmy
Carter regarding his most recent meeting with Fidel Castro in April 2011.
“In 2002, we received him warmly,” reciprocated Fidel.
“Now, I reiterated to him our respect and esteem."
“Jimmy Carter was the best of all U.S. Presidents,”
gushed Fidel’s brother Raul while seeing his American guest off personally and
jovially after those ultra-amiable meetings.
But Jimmy Carter’s affection for the Castros amounts to
more than smiles, handshakes and love notes. On his most recent Cuban visit he
appeared on Cuban TV to denounce the U.S. justice system and plead for the
release of Cuban terrorist/spies (The Cuban Five) --a conviction by U.S.
Federal juries upheld all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, by the way. The
charges against Castro’s spies included
• Gathering intelligence against the Boca Chica Air Naval
Station in Key West, the McDill Air Force Base in Tampa and the headquarters of
the U.S. Southern Command in Homestead, Fla.
• Compiling the names, home addresses and medical files
of the U.S. Southern Command’s top officers, along with those of hundreds of
officers stationed at Boca Chica.
• Infiltrating the headquarters of the U.S. Southern
Command.
• Sending letter bombs to Cuban-Americans.
• Spying on McDill Air Force Base, the U.S. armed forces’
worldwide headquarters for fighting “low-intensity” conflicts.
• Locating entry points into Florida for smuggling
explosives.
"I believe that there is no reason to keep the Cuban
Five imprisoned,” declared Jimmy Carter while being interviewed by a Communist
apparatchik on Cuban TV. “I had the opportunity to meet the families of the
five Cuban patriots (italics mine), with their wives and with their
mothers.....I'm well aware of the shortcomings of the U.S. judicial system (but
apparently NOT the Cuban!) but hope that President Obama will grant their
pardon. He knows my opinion on this matter, that the trial of the Cuban Five
was very dubious, that many norms were violated.”
The man hailed as the “Elder Statesman” of America’s
majority political party insulted the judicial system of the nation that
elected him President while hosted by a regime that imported its judicial
system—lock, stock and barrel—from the heirs of Joe Stalin.
