National and International Outrage Against the Sentencing of Leopoldo Lopez

On Saturday Venezuelans, Colombians,. andDemocratic people across the globe united against last week’s conviction of political leader Leopoldo Lopez for 14 years in prison by the Maduro regime. 

The regime’s sentencing is a clear sign of it’s fear for the political outcome due to the hyperinflation, corruption, delinquency, and the extreme lack of products that the country is experiencing today. The sentencing has

re-enforced Lopez’s position as a united leader of the opposition.

 In New York City, Colombian and Venezuelans were united in an echo of the same sentiment of anger and repudiation against the Lopez conviction, and against the brutal human rights violations to poor Colombians living at the Venezuelan-Colombian borders.

Over 600 people were victims of deportations, and their homes, and properties were destroyed. In many instances, the Venezuelan Militia raped women, and girls. With the upcoming December 6 Parliamentary elections, this border incident was provoked by the Venezuelan regime to distract the Venezuelan people and to cause discord with the neighboring country. In addition, the United Nations reports that thousands of  Colombian have left Venezuela in outrage against this savage regime.

Venezuela, a country that was once considered a Democratic model of for Latin America now has the second highest homicide rate in the world.  The United States warns US citizens there about the out-of-control crime.  According to the report, heavily armed criminals have used grenades and assault rifles to commit crimes at banks, shopping malls, public transportation stations, and Universities.  The situation in Venezuela today is not sustainable and the Maduto regime is fully aware that its time is up.

Could Nicolas Maduro be Removed from Office like Manuel Noriega from Panama?

The Obama Administration has recently sanctioned a number of Venezuelan officials who are involved in human right violations against protesters.  President Obama added that Venezuela also poses a threat to the United States. 

These accusations coming from the most powerful nation in the world, are troubling.  There are a few theories floating around as to why this Caribbean nation is considered to be a threat. Could it have been just as a protocol to expedite Congress to act? Or does the Maduro regime, in fact, possess terrorist threats to the United States? 

Venezuelan maintains strong connections with Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas. All of these groups are operating freely in Venezuela. With Cuba's help, Venezuela is making false passports, and providing these passports to Islamic Extremists.  According to the 2014 report of Canada on Guard,- "from 2008 to 2012, Venezuelan authorities provided at least 173 passports, visas and other documentation to Islamic extremists seeking to slip unnoticed into North America." There is no doubt that the list has increased with Maduro in power. This poses a great danger to the national security of the United States.

If the Maduro regime poses a threat to the United States, could he be removed from office just as Manuel Noriega was removed from Panama?

In December 1989 President George H. Bush invaded Panama and arrested Noriega, the Panamanian dictator.  The reasons for the US actions here are very similar to the reasons why Venezuela is considered a threat. Panama had become a center for money laundering and drug trafficking into the United States.

Venezuela’s threat goes even farther than Panama's by enabling terrorists with false passports to enter not onlydccssd Venezuela, but also to the United States through Canada with the intention to do harm. 

This Venezuelan tragedy has now become a dilemma for the United States. How to stop Nicolas Maduro from continuing his efforts to inflict Americans inside their country?

One option to stop Maduro might be to reduce oil purchases from Venezuela. While this action might strangle the Maduro regime, it will also hurt the Venezuelan people already affected by the highest inflation in the world.

The other option might be the United States to forcefully remove Nicolas Maduro from power, similar to Noriega.  

I believe that the Venezuelan people will favor the later.
