Once again PS is full of good info, so thanks for letting us guests enjoy the insights.
TS and others, do you see Venezuela headed toward Soviet style farm collectivation? Recalling the Holodomor, it foreshadows another leftist failure resulting in mass starvation. |

You don't need to be a hollywood writer to finish this "story". This failed socialist/communist experiment will result in bloodshed, it always does. This has happened enough times that it brings up the insanity definition, doing the same experiment again and again and expecting a different outcome. Except these days the world is watching so the Che/Castro communist takeover will not work. Soon a not too bright but brave individual will start verbally attacking the "people's government and President Nicolas Maduro. Conflict will ensue, the government will call the "protesters" criminals or terrorists and hunt them. They will hunt them right up until they become extremely powerful and have the full support of the "people". (Yeah, the same idiots that put President Nicolas Maduro in office in the first place.) When that happens President Nicolas Maduro will leave the country on a fuelled and waiting Lear jet and take billions in Venezuelan money with him, probably to Cuba. And I would not doubt that some of that socialist/communist money will find its way into the coffers of the American DNC.......... but that's another story. Enjoy the show and stay out of Venezuela for the foreseeable future. |
Venezuela now? A full blown corrupt socialist dictatorship
Keep telling yourself this cannot happen in America. This is why Mr. Trump needs to win, this country will not survive another four years of socialist rule. Another few trillion dollars of taxpayers money wasted social justice programs will destroy this "nation".
'Socialist experiment' Venezuela in ruins as soldiers delete videos of 12-hour food queues VENEZUELANS face 12-hour queues for food as the Latin American nation’s economic and political crisis has lead to a severe shortage of essential resources. By JOE BARNES PUBLISHED: 00:01, Tue, Aug 2, 2016 | UPDATED: 17:22, Tue, Aug 2, 2016 A BBC journalist, who attempted to film the crisis, was stopped and forced by soldiers to delete footage of a protest outside a supermarket as desperate Venezuelans waited for food. Baying crowds shouted “We want to buy stuff!” as they grouped outside the store in the country’s capital, Caracas. BBC journalist Vladimir Hernandez reports that many people approached him to say they had queued for 12 hours without being able to buy what they wanted. In the short clip, the crew are warned by a demonstrator that they have been spotted by members of the Venezuelan army. They are soon surrounded by soldiers as the crowd screams: “Let them film!” Soldiers can then be heard saying: “Delete that video right now in front of me,” as the journalists are moved away from the demonstrations. During his report on BBC Newsnight, the journalist said: “Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro faces an economic crisis unlike any Venezuela has seen before. “The socialist experiment his predecessor Hugo Chavez began 17 years ago is failing, triggering massive food shortages and inflation. “Maduro inherited Chavez’s socialist experiment but not the high oil prices that financed his public spending. “There’s some food on sale but most people can’t afford to buy it. Venezuela has the highest inflation in the world and it’s hitting the poor the hardest. “The government has made some staples like flour and rice available at pre-inflation pricesbut there is not enough to go round.” President Nicolas Maduro took over three years ago after long-serving leader Hugo Chavez died.his popularity has plunged as many Venezuelans blamed their hunger on his economic mismanagement. His popularity has plunged as many Venezuelans blamed their hunger on his economic mismanagement. However, the government blames it on an economic war being waged by speculators and foreign powers seeking a regime change in the country. President Maduro’s official term ends in 2019, but a petition movement is pushing for a referendum to remove him from power early. Jamaica is set to enter into an agreement with the Latin American country to provide food and medicine in exchange for paying off oil debts. cont: http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/...r-delete-video |
Forced labor.... Venezuelan's are now slaves.
LINK Now that Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign is finally over, maybe he’ll have time to read the news from Venezuela, a country where Sanders’ proudly proclaimed “democratic socialist” ideas are in full flower. Venezuela’s latest innovation: slavery. Not rhetorical or metaphorical slavery, but actual we-own-you-and-you’ll-do-what-what-we-say involuntary servitude. In an executive order that bypassed the muss and fuss of congressional approval, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro decreed that both public- and private-sector employees (that is, anybody at all) can be forced to work in farm fields for up to 60 days at a time — or longer, “if circumstances merit.” If Maduro’s decree tells you something about how socialists define “democracy,” the problem it’s intended to address — the complete implosion of Venezuelan agriculture, to the point where millions of citizens have literally nothing to eat — tells you a lot about socialist economics. |

Should not be long now, they're eating the zoo animals.......
This "Hope and Change" Venezuela. This is progressive socialism nothing but socialist corruption that destroyed Venezuela. This is what Americans now want, progressive socialism. Crisis hits Venezuela's main zoo, where 50 animals have died of malnutrition this year By Franz von Bergen/ Published August 02, 2016/ Fox News Latino Caracas, Venezuela – An emaciated lion whose skin hangs loosely because it hasn’t eaten in days. Elephants, bison and monkeys that have gone hungry because there is no food to feed them. This is the dire situation at the zoos in Venezuela, where at least 50 animals have died in one zoo the past seven months because of problems related to malnutrition. The country is suffering from a massive food shortage that has left almost the entire country hungry – including its furry animals. According to Marlene Sifontes, a member of the National Institute of Parks workers union, these are the worst days the Caricuao Zoo has seen in its nearly four decades of operation. “Animals have gone 15 days without eating anything during some periods. We have registered the death of Vietnamese pigs, tapirs, rabbits, birds, peccaries and porcupines,” Sifontes told Fox News Latino. One case two weeks ago astonished the community. A beloved dark horse that had been in exhibit for years was attacked in the middle of the night and quartered for meat. The next day staff members found just the head and the mutilated body. “We imagine that people took it to eat it,” a zoo guide shrugged, when inquired by Fox News Latino. A few visitors were strolling around the 630-acre zoo last week. Anabel Conde, who was visiting with her family said she is appalled at the deterioration of the zoo’s facilities. “We came in January and things have gotten worst,” she said. “We just saw some pigs fighting for the food people threw.” cont: http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/lif...-just-in-2016/ |

Cloward and Piven spelled the plan out a long time ago, and our POTUS is eagerly pursuing the program, by executive order when the RINOs in Congress won't just roll over and give it to him.
Venezuela is just a little further down the road than we are. If you are not prepared for at least a month without buying groceries, you are seriously deficient. TR |

There is an interesting confluence of views spattered throughout this article.
Wouldn't the direct path be to fix the police? I know this seems shallow, but with Venezuela spiraling into hole their leaders have dug for them, would there be a truly effective method to lowering crime and reducing gang activity? Further, is the increase in drug cartels and gangs, the rise in crime and the deterioration of law, order, civility, social and industrial growth direct results of the spiraling economy or is there a more nuanced cause/causes? |

The Venezuelan gun crushers will no doubt become another shining example for Komrade Clinton to cite in her quest to make America a safer place. In the meantime when the electrical grid collapses down there, those electrical goods are not going to be of much use are they?

Things are getting ugly in the socialist paradise.
Not too much longer now, the "masses" are restless and would probably welcome the "oppression" offered here at the US where our "down trodden" worry about obesity.
My only "regret" is this wasn't done to Chavez. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/04/wo...ters.html?_r=0 |

Stupid of them to put this on their Fox Latino news page. They should be running it as one of the top-3 on their regular page as an object lesson. How to get to a Venezuelan commie paradise without leaving your couch. (Commies having no reservation about openly making you do their will at the explicit point of a gun, vs. the implied one most Americans have yet to imagine because they can't play the tape to the end.)

"From Home Depot lunchroom, salesman wages war against Venezuela's government"
Bad headline, motivated by money I'm sure, don't want to risk losing advertising & money. Should say: "From Home Depot lunchroom, salesman wages war against Venezuela's liberal-socialist government" I'd bet about 90% of Americans have no idea what sort of gov Venezuela is currently operating under....... |

Venezuela orders stores to get into the Christmas spirit
Venezuela orders stores to get into the Christmas spirit
https://www.yahoo.com/news/venezuela...064847254.html "Caracas (AFP) - Ever since Venezuelan government agents put up a giant "Sale" sign in his storefront, crowds have been lining up outside Juan Vieira's shoe shop. But he's having a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit. "What good is it to sell shoes if I'm giving away my product?"...." Then "...Many customers are thrilled with the sales, however. "This is the best thing the government could have done this year because you have to give up eating just to buy yourself a shirt," said Yaroski Mendoza, a 19-year-old cook waiting in line to buy a shirt, her baby in her arms...." So the government is forcing the stores to sell their products below cost and the people are lining up to get the product. And they will not have a clue next year as to where all the stores have gone. |
