At least 36 people have died and hundreds have been injured in weeks of protests in Venezuela against President Nicolas Maduro’s economic mismanagement with inflation running at 700% (IMF), food and medicine shortages and his attempt to alter the constitution to give himself more power.
Nikki Haley, US Ambassador to the UN has accused Maduro of “disregard for the fundamental rights of his own people”, which had “heightened the political and economic crisis in the country”. Trump’s national security advisor HR McMaster has met with the leader of the opposition-controlled National Assembly to discuss the release of political prisoners and pressing to hold free and democratic elections.
Given Venezuela’s history the question is when will the military step in? Though many senior players have been compromised by Maduro’s patronage.
Maduro was sworn in on 19 April 2013 at 2.05pm Caracas. It looks like a bumpy ride this year, but April/May 2018 is when it will really blow up with an explosive tr Uranus conjunct the Mars Sun of the Presidency chart; and a disappointing, financially undermining tr Neptune squares the 10th house Jupiter.
The Venezuela 24 June 1821 and 22 September 1830 both have undermining and chaotic Neptune transits to Mars midpoints this year and next. There’s a definite downturn come December this year on both. The 1830 chart has devastation written all over 2018/19 (perhaps earlier since there is no start time); with a dead-halt in 2019, financially and otherwise; and worse in 2022/23. The 1821 chart which has a Saturn Jupiter conjunction in late Aries is being jolted and jangled this year into 2018; with 2012/2022 looking hugely challenging with tr Pluto opposing Saturn Jupiter.
Maybe worth putting context of Corporate Thug Deep State pumping of pumping oil at 50% price to deliberately bring down sovereign governments bringing at least one of British Empire’s Terrorist Outposts, Saudi Arabia, to bankruptcy. They Corporate Criminals managed several illegal coups in South America via this. Also, maybe touch on the Heinz and Kraft multinationals deliberately stockpiling millions of tons of grain to let it rot causing food shortages in Venezuela to blame on the democratically elected Socialist government. Also the deliberate Heinz and Kraft failure to have adequate stocks of foods in Venezuela and so no stocks of food for supermarkets. What was there was overpriced and out of the reach of most buyers. All this conducted Deep State Corruption not reported in Tory Murdoch or Tory Astrologer Pages? Mmm? I’m sure you won’t be bothering to publish this comment…We need a bit more context to these fluffy dreamy worship Theresa Vague AKA Hammer Horror ‘The Gorgon’…But The Age of Aquarius 2020 will overturn all this BBC Disinformation and Orwellian Horoscopes…Eh!
A bad situation, no matter who is in the driver seat…
