    Whoever put this video together needs to go back and research their facts.
    Firstly, the left out MM, QC, National Hero of Jamaica (4 July 1893 - 2 September 1969), was a Jamaican statesman. A Rhodes Scholar, Manley became one of Jamaica's leading lawyers in the 1920s. Manley was an advocate of universal suffrage, which was granted by the British colonial government to the colony in 1944.
    His massive investments in modernization of Jamaica's infrastructure and restructuring of the country's financial sector are widely credited with having led to Jamaica's greatest period of investment in tourism, mining, ICT and energy since the 1960s. He also ended Jamaica's 18-year borrowing relationship with the International Monetary Fund, allowing the country greater latitude in pursuit of its economic policies. In 2002, when Patterson led the PNP to another general election victory, but with a much-reduced majority of 34 out of 60 seats. He became the first Jamaican prime minister to be sworn in for a fourth consecutive term.

    Not surprised by the bloody end.
    Venezuela has not succumbed to foreign involvement simply because the Venezuelan people,military,and president Maduro's government love their country and will not bow to external forces.The "DEVIL" is hard at work.All praises to the 'MOST HIGH GOD' of Abraham,Isaac and Jacob.
