Warning: the link goes to a propaganda cite for Venezuela, and tries to imply HRC spied on them...please don't give them the traffic, but I left it here in case anyone else is dealing with this too)

I am in it right now (edit: I *was* in it)

1. TeleSur is Venezuela's Propaganda Outlet, very similar to Iran's PressTV, and Russia's RT.

It is not a credible source of anything.

I recommend deleting this thread.

5. I won't delete it, because someone else might encounter the same BS, but I

will edit it.

Chances are with social media, that it might make the rounds for a few days.

8. Oh, and Thank you! nt

2. Can you sum that up for us :)

[LaydeeBug]

3. Ok, snopes had nothing on it at all. I challeneged the guy

to actually read the article.

4. Yes. US initiatives to F with Latin America stepped up under Sec Clinton's watch.

US Dept of State position;
US = good
Socialist leaning LatAm/Caribbean nations = bad.

La Nueva Televisora del Sur (teleSUR, English: The New Television Station of the South) is multi-state funded, pan–Latin American terrestrial and satellite television network sponsored by the governments of Venezuela, Cuba, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Uruguay, and Bolivia that is headquartered in Caracas, Venezuela. TeleSUR was launched with the objective of providing information to promote the integration of Latin America.[2]

6. Venezuela supports Russia and their policies are abhorrent.

[Mika]

7. Oh well. The US supports countless abhorrent gov'ts also.

Pot. Meet kettle.

10. But the US isnt run by authoritarian genocidal neofascist dictators.

Big difference.

11. I must has teh ESP... I guessed it might be along those lines

12. Your excerpt was true prior to 2011. Venezuela took it over in Feb 2011. It is nothing but

anti-American propaganda.

9. One of my crazy friends from home sent that to me today.

I deleted it and told her to take me off her email list. She is a nut case who still lives in the same small town we were raised in...

13. I am still in the small town I was raised in...

but 5 mins out of a major city, so there's that. I am glad it's making it's rounds, and that it gets debunked. I think it is very valuable to share what cyber-fights you're in because chances are more likely that someone here knows what's up. On the best of those times, you get to be that someone.

I love it when that happens.

14. No disrespect intended. My friends from home are by and large very conservative republicans.

They send me the weirdest stuff. I have blocked a few, but our roots go deep. .

15. My neighborhood has gotten redder and redder since the union jobs shuttered. nt

[redstatebluegirl]

16. That is what happened to my home town. The plant in the city close to us closed with no severance.

Lots of people lost their homes, cars, trucks everything. They came out very bitter. Trump appeals to them. They blame people of color and immigrants for their lot in life instead of Reagan and his predecessors for killing the unions.
