68 Killed In Venezuelan Prison Fire. Abby Martin And The Left

     A fire in a prison in Venezuela killed at least 68 people. Many so called leftists and progressives in the west are quick to condemn any injustice by the west, whether real or perceived. They are either silent or condone injustice, brutality, torture, corruption and incompetence if a regime is considered leftist, Anti American or anti west Islamic jihadist in nature.
     Several American so called leftists traveled to Venezuela. They excused the corrupt Venezuelan regime in power (corruption is fine with them as long as the fat cat thieves and murderers are on the left side). One remarked that the escalating violence in Venezuela was due to the actions of the opposition and the political support they receive from the United States.
         Much of the Venezuelan opposition are neither leftists or rightists. Many, in fact, are apolitical people that want nothing more than to live in a free society. They want to live where their leaders are not thieves that steal the national wealth. They are people that do not want to fear violence simply because they speak their minds. They are people that do not want to see the once prosperous Venezuela continue to collapse. They do not want to see the people of Venezuela continue to lack food, medical care and the basic necessities of life. (Read about Venezuelan people killing zoo animals out of desperation, malnutrition, children's stunted growth, etc.).
         Abby Martin, Corbyn (Great Britain) and others have a platform. They have the voices that the powerless people of Venezuela do not have. They have the ears of the corrupt so called leftist leaders in power in Venezuela.
         Do they not see how their support for the regime in power - the ones with the guns, weapons and real power, the ones that have done almost all of the killings while they loot the country- helps escalate the violence?
         68 dead from a prison fire in Venezuela due to miserable conditions in prisons, in jails, from illegal detentions, and more.
          Will Abby Martin and the other supporters of the Venezuelan regime finally stand up for the real downtrodden and oppressed of Venezuela? They can start by demanding accountability for the deaths of 68 prisoners.
