"I have never seen the US government arrive in a desert to plant life. They always arrive to destroy." Venezuela's Acting President Delcy Rodríguez
"I have never seen the US government arrive in a desert to plant life. They always arrive to destroy."
Venezuela's Acting President Delcy Rodríguez gave a master class on US sanctions policy in 2024
She connected it directly to Palestine: "The genocide against Palestine is an extension of the same policy—the destruction of humanity, exterminating peoples so that speculative capital survives."
What she said:
The US controls SWIFT, the international financial messaging system. Every global transaction flows through it. One button excludes any country.
The hegemon uses unilateral coercive measures, so-called 'sanctions', as a means of extortion against countries that do not obey its instructions.
26,000+ unilateral sanctions exist worldwide. 31 countries sanctioned—representing 28% of world population and 72% of Earth's territory.
96% of sanctions are concentrated on 10 countries. Mostly oil and energy producers essential for the development of humanity.
Venezuela lost access to 77% of its international correspondent banks "in one second"
99% drop in national income. $232 billion in lost oil production. $700 billion total economic damage—comparable to WWII bombing of Germany and France.
US State Department stated, 2018: "Our sanctions forced Venezuela to default... We are seeing total collapse. Our policy works."
Citgo seized. $22 billion in assets frozen. Venezuelan gold stolen by Bank of England "because we don't know who the government is"
The US-appointed "president" of Venezuela's Central Bank lives in Miami and runs a hamburger business. This is who they claimed should control Venezuela's gold reserves.
"International law does not govern. The only thing that governs is barbarism."
