Anthony Bourdain Partners with Fidel Castro’s Secret Police

I’m sure you’re aware that the USA has carries out vast business dealing with Venezuela and their petroleum dealings (PdVSA). This would include Exxon and a variety of American petro-chemical corporations. Hence they are doing business with the Bolivarian regime with historical ties to Castro, Che Guevara, et al. It’s not a secret and it includes some connections to congressmen in DC (including Republicans). Sure, Castro has a horrible record on human right but there’s a huge double standard in how we digest that in the American political media. What about China? Or Saudi Arabia? So it’s OK to be seen with some Saudi prince or king who is behind human rights abuses yet not Castro?
