How many Venezuelans get tortured because the NYT revealed Trump ‘coup’ meetings?

American Thinker:

Does the New York Times have any shame? The newspaper that famously put Fidel Castro in power has handed a loaded weapon to the Cuban dictatorship’s pawn, Venezuela, by publishing news that the Trump administration met with coup-minded military people from Venezuela.

Here is the story:

The Trump administration held secret meetings with rebellious military officers from Venezuela over the last year to discuss their plans to overthrow President Nicolás Maduro, according to American officials and a former Venezuelan military commander who participated in the talks.

Establishing a clandestine channel with coup plotters in Venezuela was a big gamble for Washington, given its long history of covert intervention across Latin America. Many in the region still deeply resent the United States for backing previous rebellions, coups and plots in countries like Cuba, Nicaragua, Brazil and Chile, and for turning a blind eye to the abuses military regimes committed during the Cold War.

The White House, which declined to answer detailed questions about the talks, said in a statement that it was important to engage in “dialogue with all Venezuelans who demonstrate a desire for democracy” in order to “bring positive change to a country that has suffered so much under Maduro.”

 

Well, what a fabulous blueprint for the notoriously torture-minded Maduro regime to round up suspected opponents, throw them into his dank dungeons, and torture and kill them? The New York Times said so, so it must be true.  read more

  1. As bad as the NYT is for publishing, these are the sorts of Government leakers who need to HANG. I can only hope Trump’s/Sessions’ indictments list includes more than a few of these traitors.

  2. Yeh, there is nothing funny or amusing here.

    People are going to die because the NYTimes needed another knife to try to get Trump. Probably a lot of good and brave people will die….
