that Venezuela's former President (later impeached, and imprisoned) Carlos Andres Perez ordered his police, many of whom quit their jobs immediately, walking off and away from their employment, and then ordered his military to mow down what eventually became over 3,000 protesting Venezuelans in the street, even going into their neighborhoods in military tanks to get more of them? Venzuelans turned a corner psychologically during that time, naming this filthy blood feast "El Caracazo" massacre.
Yet, did we hear a peep from the good old boys at the U.S. corporate media outlets? HELL, NO. Carlos Andres Perez was a dear friend of the U.S. government, and beloved by George H. W. Bush.
Has our own corporate media EVER breathed a word to the U.S. public about the Nazi racist Youth Movement shock troopers in Bolivia, men who go into indigenous neighborhoods carrying clubs and beat the holy hell out of poor Bolivian people? OF COURSE NOT. They attack them on the street, they kill them, sometimes, they always at least end up spitting on them, assaulting even the indigenous women, calling them all filthy names, going out of their way as a matter of practice to let them know how much they are hated in their OWN country, where they were not even allowed to walk on the sidewalks until after a revolution in 1953.
