To the editor: Area residents protest U.S. action against Venezuela

On Saturday afternoon, Jan. 17, more than 50 residents of Chester, Ludlow, Bellows Falls, Rockingham, Grafton and other neighbors braved the snowstorm to participate in the worldwide Global Day of Action: No War for Oil.

We protested the Trump regime’s illegal military attack against Venezuela and threats of violence against Columbia, Cuba, Mexico, Iran and Greenland.

Several attendees expressed outrage and disbelief that the Trump regime has been selling Venezuelan oil from impounded ships and depositing the proceeds in a bank in Qatar rather than in the U.S. treasury.

All of us are united in respect for the U.S. Constitution, which gives Congress the sole power to declare war.

    I was very pleased to read the highly articulate, fact-filled, and grammar remolding reply of Mr. Nathan Adams. It’s good that the Chester Telegraph published this since nearly all articles and comments here are on the vile Democratic side.

    It’s also good to see that Mr. Adams is not remotely a (…) racist. After all, the African countries he mentions have different populations and Mr. Adams does not distinguish them. It’s good to see a Mapel syrup slurping Verdmonter (have I spelled this correctly?) who knows, as Excre. Trump said in his first term, that science has shown that we who are descended from Europe are much smarter than Africans, at least if we are Republicans. (I’ll pass on some journal references for that later.)

    I’ll admit that I’m a Marxist and Lennonist. In fact, Duck Soup and A Night at the Opera must be at the top of anyone’s list of favorite movies. And A Long Day’s Night and Imagine – who doesn’t love them.

    Finally, to all those who upon reading Mr. Adam’s remarks regard him to be (in their words, not mine) a “racist moron”, just wait for his next post and you’ll have to admit he’s much more than that.

    To The Editor: “Area residents support the former Dictator of Venezuela for his non-stop shipping of Cocaine and Fentanyl into this country to kill off our population!”
    Why do so many ‘residents’ of Vermont including the leadership in Mountpeeler have the disease called TDS to such a Zenith? Is it because the tariffs on Mapel Slurpee shipped to the other 49 states are not high enough? Or, is it because they do not have their quota of Somalians, Kenyans, Nigerians, Tanzanians, Ugandans and Botswanans adjusting to the climate change, instead of Merit Based Whites from Europe and Scandinavia with IQ’s greater than the aggregate of the Democratic Electorate in this country, to say nothing about the Marxist-Leninist advocates lurking in the hills of Verdmont…!!!
