REMEMBER THE AUSTRALIANS WHO BEGGED CHAVEZ TO GUIDE US
Ten years ago Australia’s snowfield socialists wrote a grovelling invitation to the chief thug who has turned Venezuela into a hell. Remember this as you watch reports on people dying from starvation. “We, the undersigned citizens of Australia, would like to extend a warm invitation for you to visit our country,” read the letter to Hugo Chavez.
Bolt makes no attempt to explain what is going on in Venezuela but he uses it as an excuse to name and shame those he sees as the voice of his socialist opposition members of the ABC, the Greens, the CFMEU etc and what they said 10 years ago. Then they supported the legally voted for Chavista government while Bolt today is in favor of the attempted right-wing coup. I've no doubt these people he names still believe in the government of the day but Bolt doesn't bother to ask.
Venezuela has a two-fold problem. Firstly 95% of its income comes from oil the price which has crashed and secondly US 's interference in its domestic politics.The fall in the price of oil has put a major strain on the legally elected Chavista government. Oil which paid for the sweeping reforms in the country no longer generates the income it once did and the Americans see this as an opportunity to gain control of the country and its resources by any means possible.
The political opposition has taken full advantage and is trying to gain power by ignoring Venezuela's Supreme Court rulings against it and they have been charged with contempt. Basically, they believe they have the right to physically overthrow the elected government. Bolt just happens to agree with this attempted coup proving he sees change as revolutionary and not just evolutionary as he keeps saying.
It's difficult for Bolt to find examples anywhere that hasn't seen a shift to the left in recent days. The UK, EU , Canada, are all moving away from extreme right thinking. Venezuela he feels is somehow his example of incompetent rule and entitles him to criticize those who once supported it. So as long as a revolution is driven by conservatives Bolt 's in favor of it.
But as I said Bolt's is simply using Venezuela's unique problems as a generalization to suggest all legitimate left wing governments will end in chaos when history has shown it's not the case.
He's just an ultra conservative blowing smoke in our eyes. What Venezuela does show however is the importance the economy plays in a country whether left or right and none of us can escape that reality. The difference in Venezuela being those that only want to help themselves are trying to take over the country illegally from the legal government whose aim is to help the whole country. The crisis they face has been brought on by the fall in the oil price.Venezuela crisis: What is behind the turmoil? - BBC News - BBC.com

STUPID POLITICIANS HAVE DESTROYED CHEAP ELECTRICITY
Michael Lee of the Brighton Savoy Hotel sends me the quotes he's got for his electricity next year: "A one year renewal would lead to an increase of $37,845.00 or an increase of 52.50%." What madness has possessed our politicians that they can do such harm in the name of global warming?
"HE JUST, YOU KNOW, TWEETED OUT THE PROOF"
Poor dear: "Donald Trump Jr. took to Twitter to release emails confirming his meetings with a Kremlin-linked lawyer, aimed at getting dirt on the Clinton campaign... The internet exploded with tweetstorms. One of the best came from independent journalist Jared Yates Sexton. For the past year, Sexton has been chasing the Trump-Russia scandal."
SAVVA SAVAGES GUESS WHO? GUESS WHO SHE PROTECTS?
Niki Savva's manic hatred of Tony Abbott - and professional interest in stopping him - is best shown in her latest column. She mentions four people who support democratic reform of the corrupted NSW Liberal branch - Jim Molan, Nick Greiner, Malcolm Turnbull and Abbott. Guess which is the only one whose motive is trashed.
HOW WARMIST POLITICIANS ARE MAKING YOUR LIFE TOUGH
First they turned electricity into a luxury item. Now they're coming for your car. My editorial from last night's The Bolt Report: how politicians mad with global warming are making your lives tougher - all pain for no gain:
MARK MORANO ON THE BOLT REPORT
From my interview with Mark Morano, in Australia to promote his global warming film, Climate Hustle, an antidote to Al Gore's. We had a great chat about the dud and dodgy predictions of global warming alarmists.
YES, EXPENSIVE ELECTRICITY WILL KILL THE POOR
My editorial from The Bolt Report: Craig Kelly is right - high power prices thanks (in part) to global warming policies will kill poor people made too scared to put on the heating. Shame on the global warming extremists shouting Kelly down. Shame on the politicians who'd rather defend their global warming religion than save the poor.
