In this interview with The New American magazine’s Alex Newman, Venezuela-born philosopher and law expert Carlos Casanova outlines the eerie parallels between the communist enslavement of Venezuela, and what is happening now in America.

This same firm is deeply intertwined with the companies that ran elections here. Perhaps most frightening is what Casanova says comes after the rigged elections.
