As Venezuela's 2 million percent inflation rate ravages citizens' savings and salaries, Heliana Maez is struggling to feed her family. "I was a teacher, and my pay didn't cover the basic things you needed, in my case the things you need for a baby," said the mother, whose 14-month-old daughter is being treated for malnutrition.

Hyperinflation is forcing Venezuelans to cut down on everyday staples as the economy worsens, devastating a once-vibrant manufacturing sector by suppressing demand.

A handful of food plants are still producing but at minimal capacity, and food prices nearly quadrupled in January alone, according to Caracas-based Ecoanalitica.

ccgg14 “After Russia, it is the richest country in natural resources of the planet: the largest world producer of oil and gas, the second largest producer of gold, and one of the largest iron, bauxite. cobalt [NT: coltan?] and others. Located three hours flight from Miami, and with 32 million inhabitants. Not very indebted, and capable of founding a development bank, Banco do Sur, capable of replacing the World Bank and the Monetary Fund as the most equitable source of credit for the Latin American continent. It is for these reasons that the "Chilean priest" has initially failed. The attempted coup against Chávez in 2002 and the violent demonstrations of an opposition that became subversive and anti-national clashed with an executive who won one election after another. Because even the poor, after all, vote. The opportunity to close the game came with the death of Chávez in 2013 and the collapse in the price of oil began in 2015.

ccgg14 The strategy of sanctions: the barrage of sanctions issued the following year on the pretext that Venezuela was a threat to the national security of the United States overpowered the country. Venezuela is expelled from international financial markets and finds itself unable to use oil revenues to pay for imports. Almost everything that enters an economy that produces little except hydrocarbons must be paid in dollars in cash. And the sanctions prevent the use of the dollar. Government funds deposited in the United States are frozen or seized. The refinancing and renegotiation channels of Venezuela's modest external debt are closed. The interest on the debt is high because the rating agencies that serve Washington carry the country's risk to unbelievable figures, higher than those of Syria. In 2015, the extension of Venezuela is 2 thousand points, to reach and exceed 6 thousand in 2017

ccgg14 The economists of the Celag [Latin American Geopolitical Strategic Center] have quantified in 68.6 billion dollars, 34% of the GDP, the additional cost of the Venezuelan debt between 2014 and 2017. But the most lethal effect of Venezuela's financial blockade is the negative The main international banks, under US control, to deal with transactions related to imports of vital goods such as food, medicine, hygiene products and essential items for the operation of the productive apparatus and transportation. Venezuelan hospitals lack insulin and anti-malaria medicines. The ports of the country have been declared warships, carrying the import and export tariffs to the stars. The value of imports drops from 60 billion dollars in 2011-2013 to 12 billion in 2017, bringing with it a blow of 50% of GDP.

ccgg14 In 2018, a fully induced humanitarian crisis developed in Venezuela. This is accompanied by an equally false hyperinflation, without any basis in the fundamentals of the economy, determined by the attack of the black market from the dollar to the national currency attributable to the 6 largest investment banks of Wall Street. For this reason, the report of the UN expert who visited Venezuela in 2017, Alfred De Zayas (of whom you have never heard but who possesses most of the data mentioned above), proposes the referral of the United States to the Criminal Court International for crimes against humanity perpetrated in [against] Venezuela after 2015.

ccgg14 The Wall Street banks: the goods that can still be imported are hoarded and resold as contraband by the oligopolies of the food industry that dominate the private sector of the Venezuelan economy. The same high-level crime that pulls the strings of the Clap sabotage, the government emergency food plan that rescues 6 million families. And it has been calculated that between 2013 and 2017 the financial aggression against Venezuela has cost between 110 and 160% of its GDP, that is, between 245 and 350 billion dollars. Without the sanctions, Venezuela's economy, instead of halving, would have developed at the same pace as Argentina's.

ccgg14 Ex-Deputy Secretary-General of the UN explains the deception between Wall Street and oil, about the crisis in Venezuela " If a lesson is learned when leading a large international organization such as the UN, it is that in the things of the world, the truth of the facts rarely coincides with the official version. The dominant ideas, as the old Marx used to say, are still those of the ruling class. And the case of Venezuela these days is configured in terms of a gigantic informative deception aimed at covering up the oppression against a people and the looting of a nation.
