"If US-paid agitators were not messing with the food supply, they would be a lot more food to go around."

Hugo Chavez himself took the blame for the rotting of 20 000 tons of food when there were already food shortages.

Only people messing with supplies are the Government.

But the article you cite does have a point - if the US dropped the targeted sanctions against the criminals running the Government, those criminals wouldn't be able to pretend to the useful fools that the economic chaos is anything other than their own fault.
