Venezeula’s Insane Socialist President Keeps Accusing People of Wanting to Kill Him

Sometimes we call world leaders insane because they’re mean and kill lots of people. That’s not the case with Venezuela’s Socialist president Nicolas Maduro.

That’s not to say that he doesn’t kill lots of people. He does. But he also talks to deceased ex-president Hugo Chavez in bird form, sees his image on subway walls and threatened those who didn’t vote for him with an ancient Indian curse.

He sent the army to occupy electronics stores and there’s milk and toilet paper rationing in what used to be one of the wealthier countries in the region.

Like a lot of crazy people, Maduro is also obsessed with assassination plots.

First Maduro claimed there was a CIA plot to kill his political opponent Capriles who was uniquely qualified to be the President of Venezuela, not only on account of his degrees and background, but because he wasn’t a complete lunatic.

Capriles pointed out that if anyone killed him it wouldn’t be the CIA, it would the Birdman of Caracas.

So Maduro began claiming that the CIA wanted to kill him. Now if the CIA wanted to kill Maduro, it would tell him that eating rat poison will give him magical abilities. And Maduro remains un-assasinated, despite much of the country which doesn’t work for the government hating his guts.

Now he had a woman arrested for conspiring to kill him.

Venezuelan prosecutors charged a prominent opposition leader with conspiracy Wednesday in relation to an alleged plot to assassinate leftist President Nicolas Maduro.

Maria Corina Machado, a vocal supporter of anti-government protests that rocked the country earlier this year, vehemently rejected the charge as she left the attorney general’s office after questioning.

“Today they have charged me with the crime of conspiracy,” she said. “All the accusations and supposed evidence are false, and I reject them.”

Under Venezuelan law she faces eight to 16 years in prison if convicted.

The attorney general’s office said in a statement she had been charged with “conspiracy” for “allegedly having links to the assassination plan against the president.”

You know the case is solid when the attorney general is using the term “allegedly” for a conspiracy he’s charging her with.

Along with Leopoldo Lopez, an opposition leader jailed since February on charges of inciting violent protests, she has been one of the most visible figures in an anti-government protest movement called “La Salida,” or “The Way Out.”

The way out in Venezuela is the same way out as in the USSR. Saudi Arabia’s oil war and fracking in the US have turned Venezuela’s oil money into collateral damage. Chavez and his crazier successor have run up huge debts and the money isn’t coming in.

Maduro had to announce a 20 percent cut in government spending. Now he’s trying to shut down his opposition with a show trial.
