Lady Liberty and Francisco de Miranda. Francisco de Miranda was a freemason.

Nineteenth Century. The Century of War.

The fight for the precious Black Gold that we still see today.

The Guaicaipuro Indians are original natives of these parts.

Check out Queen Elizabeth and King Ferdinand.

This is the rising of the “Pueblo”; the people rose against the Conquistadores. I’ll post the best part of this mural later… Stay tuned for part 3.

 Here is a stencil of an eagle, a symbol of the United States, with a prohibited circle and the words ‘YANKEE GO HOME”.  These are up all around what is left of what used to be the HILTON HOTEL. Author unknown.

I have been in Caracas, Venezuela for a year now. I walk the streets of the city even though it’s not recommended due to the ridiculously high amount of violence and crime.  Venezuela is one of the largest Anti-America countries in the world. President Hugo Rafael Chavez rules with an iron fist and one of his favorite tools is PROPAGANDA.  Check out this painting on Avenida Bolivar, one of the busiest Avenues in downtown Caracas,  of US President Barack Obama. The painting portrays him as a robot with the message that he is a puppet of Imperialism. These paintings are everywhere here. Chavez gets up!

People marching towards Capital Hill wearing red…

Days before the voting for the Amendment of the Constitution of the Republic…People expressing their polical opinions in the heart of the city…
