I believe there may have been a misunderstanding. I am a strong critic of everyone you mention above aside from me. I also just walked with refugees on foot from the Venezuelan border to Bogota and wrote two articles on the subject.

I have been on the Venezuelan border since November 2018 doing nothing BUT advocate for the Venezuelan people. So I am a little confused. Maybe you added my name above as a typo?

And you are right, the sum of refugees increases everyday. The latest UN report puts the number at 4 million, and they wonder if that might have been an understatement. I am a strong Maduro critic.

Happy to clear up any misunderstanding about that. And by the way, agree 1000% about Max Blumenthal and his cohorts. Their “journalism” is irresponsible at best, intentional misinformation that supports a dictator at worst.

And their army of amazingly misinformed trolls stalk me on both my website and social media. hhaha!
