Who would replace Maduro? Answer: another imperial puppet! In any case, it is for Venezuelans to sort this out for themselves. CIA meddling will not bring any good outcome.

"Halvorssen is founder of the annual Oslo Freedom Forum and president of the Human Rights Foundation"

This is a CIA cut-out.

The Majority of Venezuelans voted for Maduro - STILL - after 15+ years of economic warfare and CIA Rat-fucking.

Which is why you have people in the streets, doing exactly what CIA Regime Change/Sanctions Operations are designed to do - make life so rough on the population, that they cave-in to the pressure, and do what the Empire wants.

The difference between what Chavez and Maduro offer, and what Joe Biden and Kop-MALA or Trump offers is the difference between "Corporate Socialism" and a human-centered Socialism.

Venezuela sits upon a sea of oil albeit a sea of low grade oil, best for making Diesel, and which requires special refineries, like those of Koch Industries in Texas. The US could give-an-F- about "Democracy". Is Ukraine a Democracy, with Nazi Terrorism, no elections, and a CIA/MI-6 dictator? How about our colony in Southwest Asia - with Riots and military bases being over run, by fans of Gang Rape?

You're being driven to distraction by CIA media manipulation. Forget the Zionist war on Lebanon, Syria, Iran that appears to be coming...pay attention to the cries of "Freedom!" From less than 44% of the Population in Caracas. They supported by the CIA's top man in Oslo, don't ya' know.

This strategy of manufactured Riots and Media Manipulation is exactly what the CIA used in OPERATION AJAX - against Mossadeh... And that turned out swell, didn't it?

Machado has sold her country's oil off to Chevron, once the Coup goes through. And she's reached out to Bibi, and pledged her undying loyalty.

If Central Banks were actually in support of the kind of real Socialism, that they have in Venezuela - the US wouldn't have spent more than 25 years trying to overthrow it. Central Banks want the kind of "Corporate Socialism" that the Pentagon represents. They don't want literacy. They were happy to squeeze the people of Venezuela so hard, that a one quarter increase in the price of gasoline, led to the riots in the former slums and shantytowns of Caracas, called "The Caracazo". Chavez changed all that. Machado and Oslo Venezuelan oligarchs like Halvorssen want to set the clock back about 30 years.
