A GROUP OF ROGUE POLICE OFFICERS ñ

AT LEAST THEY'VE BEEN REPORTED AS ROGUE POLICE OFFICERS ñ

IN VENEZUELA HAVE ATTACKED THE SUPREME COURT IN THE COUNTRY.

NOW, OF COURSE THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF PROTESTS IN VENEZUELA

DUE TO RAPID INFLATION AND ALSO THE INABILITY FOR

INDIVIDUALS TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES.

FOOD HAS BEEN RATIONED.

PEOPLE ARE TAKING TO THE STREETS TO PROTEST NICOLAS MADURO

AND HIS LEADERSHIP, AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS,

INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH THERE WERE A GROUP OF POLICE OFFICERS

WHO DECIDED TO REBEL AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT, AND MOVE

FORWARD WITH THIS ATTACK ON THE SUPREME COURT.

TO BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR, IT IS UNKNOWN IF SOMEONE OR

ANYONE HAS DIED AS A RESULT OF THIS ATTACK, BUT THE STORY

HAS TWISTS AND TURNS.

SO, HOLD, I'LL GIVE YOU THE DETAILS OF ALL THOSE TWIST

AND TURNS IN A SECOND, BUT BEFORE WE DO SO, LET'S TAKE

A LOOK AT ONE OF THE VIDEOS THAT HAVE SURFACED OF THIS ATTACK.

YOU WILL SEE A POLICE HELICOPTER DROPPING GRENADES ON THE

SUPREME COURT BUILDING.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

SO, THAT WAS ONE OF THE VIDEOS THAT SURFACED ON SOCIAL

MEDIA AFTER THE ATTACK, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF WEIRD,

QUESTIONABLE THINGS COMING OUT OF THIS STORY.

FOR ONE, THE PROTESTERS ñ AT LEAST SOME PORTION OF THE

PROTESTERS IN VENEZUELA ñ BELIEVE THIS WAS AN ACTION THAT

WAS TAKEN BY NICOLAS MADURO HIMSELF, IN ORDER TO JUSTIFY

SOME OF THE HIDEOUS ACTIONS THAT HE HAS TAKEN AGAINST THESE

PROTESTERS.

ANY TYPE OF OPPOSITION IS BEING SQUASHED, PEOPLE ARE BEING

MET WITH SIGNIFICANT VIOLENCE.

ANYONE WHO OPPOSES HIM HAS BEEN MET WITH VIOLENCE.

AND SO, AS A RESULT THEY ARE ARGUING THAT THIS WAS STAGED BY

MADURO IN ORDER TO JUSTIFY THE VIOLENCE.

ANOTHER INTERESTING COMPONENT OF THIS STORY IS THAT OSCAR PEREZ,

THE COP AT THE CENTER OF ALL THIS, WAS ACTUALLY A VENEZUELAN

MOVIE ACTOR, AND HE WOULD DO THESE RAMBO STYLE ACTION MOVIES

WHERE HE WOULD BE THIS VENEZUELAN HERO, SO I DON'T KNOW

IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU SHOULD KEEP IN MIND AS THE STORY

DEVELOPS, BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT REUTERS JUST REPORTED.

ANOTHER THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS THAT OSCAR PEREZ RELEASED A

VIDEO IN REGARD TO THE ATTACK ON THE SUPREME COURT BUILDING.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

COME ON MAN, I DON'T KNOW.

IF THAT IS FOR REAL, THAT IS ONE

CLOWN COUP.

THIS IS THE SECOND CLOWN COUP WE HAVE HAD IN THE WORLD RECENTLY.

THE FIRST ONE WAS IN TURKEY, WHERE THEY WERE LIKE, OKAY WE

WILL KIND OF DO A COUP, AND THEY TOTALLY BOTCHED IT, AND THE

LEADER GOT AWAY AND THEY WERE ALL ARRESTED.

IN TURKEY I THINK IT WAS A GENUINE ATTEMPT AT A COUP.

IN THIS CASE I DON'T THINK IT WAS, I THINK IT WAS ñ YOU KNOW,

IF YOU BELIEVE THE STORY ON ITS FACE, AND YOU DON'T ñ YOU KNOW,

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO COME OUT FROM THIS STORY,

BECAUSE IT IS A STRANGE ONE, AND THE MORE I READ ABOUT

PEREZ, THE MORE QUESTIONS I HAVE ABOUT WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON.

BUT IN THIS CASE, APPARENTLY THE SUPREME COURT IS DOING THE

BIDDING OF THE DUO, AND PEOPLE ARE ANGRY ABOUT IT, AND SO THEY

ARE FIGHTING BACK IN, YOU KNOW, SOME QUESTIONABLE WAYS.

JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME MORE DETAILS ON THAT, LET'S GO

TO GRAPHICS 7.

THE SUPREME COURT HAS BECOME A FOCUS FOR THE RALLIES, CHIEFLY

BECAUSE IT IS ñ TO BECAUSE ñ CHIEFLY BECAUSE IT'S BENCH IS

STACKED WITH PEOPLE DOING THE PRESIDENTS FITTINGS.

SO, JUST BECAUSE OSCAR PEREZ DID THOSE RAMBO STYLE MOVIES DOESN'T

MEAN THAT HE IS NOT AN OPPONENT OF MADURO, AND THAT THIS IS NOT

A GENUINE ACTIVE PROTEST, BUT I DID NOT GET THE SENSE THAT THEY

DID THIS BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT IT WOULD TAKE DOWN THE GOVERNMENT,

I THINK THEY DID IT TO SHOW THEIR OPPOSITION, AND THAT THEY

WANT TO REBEL AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT AND FIGHT AGAINST

WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

THERE IS SOMETHING SUPERFICIALLY ABOUT THE CLOWN COUP.

IT IS REFERRED TO AS A PARTIAL COUP.

THERE IS NO PARTIAL COUP, YOU EITHER DO THE COUP AND YOU

ARE IN CHARGE, OR YOU GET CAUGHT AND YOU ARE CAPTURED AND

PROBABLY KILLED.

THE FACT THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO CATCH THIS GUY.

HE WAS IN A MOVIE CALLED SUSPENDED DEATH.

HE IS PROBABLY A SMALL ACTOR IN VENEZUELA, WHEREAS STEPHEN

SEGAL IS A LARGE ACTOR HERE.

YOU DO A VIDEO WHERE YOU LOOK LIKE ISIS.

EVERYONE ELSE'S FACES COVERED, BUT THE ONE GUY YOU CAN SEE

IS AN ACTOR.

HE DOTS A BUNCH OF BOMBS THAT DON'T HURT ANYONE, BUT IT IS

USED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO SAY THAT YOU KNOW, OUR ENEMIES

ARE TERRIBLE AND TRYING TO KILL PEOPLE, ETC.,

AND THEN YOU DO THIS CLOWNISH VIDEO.

NOTHING ABOUT THIS FEELS RIGHT.

I AGREE WITH YOU, WHICH IS WHY I'M HESITANT TO REALLY DO ANY

REAL COMMENTARY ON IT, BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW ALL THE FACTS.

DON'T KNOW WHAT IS AT PLAY, OR WHAT THE INTENTIONS ARE.

WE DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS STAGED BY MADURO, OR IF OSCAR PEREZ IS

BEING GENUINE.

THE ONLY THING WE KNOW FOR SURE IS THAT THE PROTESTS IN

VENEZUELA ARE VERY REAL, AND THE HUMAN SUFFERING IS VERY REAL,

AND THE FACTORS THAT LED TO THIS ñ IT IS NOT JUST ONE THING, IT

IS NOT TWO THINGS, IT IS A VARIETY OF FACTORS, INCLUDING

THIS INCREDIBLE DEPENDENCE ON OIL, AND OIL ALONE.

THE IMPORTING OF ALL PRODUCTS, RATHER THAN MAKING THOSE

PRODUCTS IN THE COUNTRY.

THE OVERSPENDING ON SOME SOCIAL PROGRAMS.

AND YOU GUYS KNOW THAT I'M IN FAVOR OF SOCIAL PROGRAMS, BUT

THERE IS A FINE LINE, AND I THINK THEY WENT TOO FAR AND

DIDN'T SAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR WHAT OIL PRICES WOULD DROP.

THOSE ARE ALL REAL THINGS, AND PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING, IT'S JUST

IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT WHEN YOU HAVE A GOVERNMENT THAT

IS BEING OPPOSED, AND BEING OPPOSED AGGRESSIVELY, THEY

ARE GOING TO DO SHADY THINGS IN ORDER TO JUSTIFY THE

VIOLENCE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO LAUNCH AGAINST THESE PROTESTERS.

AND IT IS EVEN MORE OBLIGATED THEN THAT, BECAUSE IF YOU

KNOW THE HISTORY OF LATIN AMERICA, YOU KNOW THAT THE

U.S. IN THE PAST, AND BY THE WAY THE WEALTHY PEOPLE IN THOSE

COUNTRIES, HAVE DONE INCREDIBLE PROPAGANDA AGAINST

GOVERNMENTS THAT DO SERVE THEIR PEOPLE.

THAT HISTORICALLY HAS HAPPENED.

IN THE CASE OF MADURO, IT'S A VERY COMPLICATED SITUATION, BUT

IT APPEARS THAT, NO, HE HAS GREATLY MISCALCULATED ON THE

ECONOMIC FRONT, AND NOW IS, ACCORDING TO WHAT WE BELIEVE ARE

INDEPENDENT AND NEUTRAL OBSERVERS, ARRESTED PEOPLE, EVEN

TORTURED SOME OF THE PROTESTERS, AND THERE'S SOME PEOPLE

THAT ARE MISSING.

IF THAT STUFF IS TRUE, THAN IT IS A VERY --

I JUST FINISHED READING A BOOK ABOUT WHAT THE CIA WOULD DO IN

THE PAST, AND THEY WOULD PUT STORIES IN THE NEW YORK TIMES

THAT WOULD MAKE UP STORIES LIKE THAT, THAT WOULD GET RID OF THE

PEOPLE THEY WOULD OPPOSE SO THAT THEY COULD GET RID OF THEM.

THEY DID THAT'S ONLY TIMES THAT IT ALLOWS A GUY LIKE MADURO NOW

TO SAY, THEY ARE DOING THAT TO ME TOO, AND THAT AT THAT POINT,

IT'S SO HARD TO KNOW WHO IS TELLING THE TRUTH AND WHO

IS NOT.

AND THEN YOU ADD THIS EXTRA MADNESS, DROPPING THE HAND

GRENADES FROM THE HELICOPTER ñ A HELICOPTER THAT NO ONE EVER SAW

AGAIN AND WASN'T CAUGHT ñ MY GUESS IS ñ I MEAN, AGAIN, WE CAN

AT BEST SUSS OUT SOME THINGS THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE.

YOU ARE TELLING ME THAT IF THIS GUY WAS ACTUALLY DOING SOME

SORT OF VIOLENT ACTION, WHERE HE WAS TRYING TO KILL MADURO'S

ALLIES, THAT IT WOULDN'T BE MADURO'S NUMBER ONE

OBJECTIVE TO GO GET THE GUY?

AND HE DID A PRESS CONFERENCE WHERE HE BASICALLY SAID, WE

CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE HELICOPTER.

HE CALLED THEM TERRORISTS.

OF COURSE HE'S OUTRAGED, WE'VE GOT TO TAKE DECISIVE ACTION, BUT

WHERE IS HE?

CAN'T FIND HIM.
