“You have just come back from Venezuela. Why did you go there?”
“– I mostly wanted to check how it was there, for when it begins to tighten to the war so I know from experience that it is not possible to rely on what the media writes.”
“When it suddenly written a thousand articles on a week, if a country is a hell where all suffer under a cruel dictator, then you know that the country will soon be attacked. It is portrayed as an invasion is the only possible solution to the problem. Before the attacks on Iraq and Libya was done exactly the same thing. It is to prepare and soften our resistance in the face of an invasion.”
“So I wanted to go there and check for yourself, and to have lived in an area that poor people built themselves, with the land and the materials that they receive from the state. I have had it very good and made friends for life.”
