Oh I don’t think the Venezulean immigration crisis was caused by Max Blumenthal in the slightest. I do think in 2018 he was denying it was happening. As for sanctions, they have indeed made things worse, though the economic collapse and immigration crisis started long before there were any sanctions which didn’t begin until 2017 and only affected a few officials implicated in international crimes until 2019, when the first real sanctions were put in place.

You would indeed not know that from Max’s reporting, however. He switched seemlessly in 2019 (long after the crisis was underway) from claiming “There is no crisis” to “The sanctions caused the crisis.”

Both are lies

If he believes what he says then I can’t but wonder if he suffers from a mental disability?
