This Video Perfectly Breaks Down Exactly What’s Going On In Venezuela
Elite Daily ^ | Feb 17, 2014 | Sean Levinson

Mass protests have been taking place in Venezuela over the past few days to rally against the country’s government, an ignorant regime that has deprived its people of means to survive and allowed escalating criminal acts to go unpunished.

Yet even more frightening than the reasons behind these demonstrations is the lack of coverage from a great deal of the Latin American media, which has been making a conscious effort to keep the unrest a secret.

This video from YouTube user Andreina Nash explains why thousands of adults, children and students have taken to the streets, as well as what you can do to aid their fight for justice.

Pretty good video on street demonstrations in Venezuela.

Nothing is in our media. The Commies who run Venezuela have shut down opposition media coverage and other electronic media.

There were reports last night of 600,000 Cuban troops either in Venezuela or on the way.

From US media? Silence.

Of course Obozo will again side with the Commies.

I had no trouble viewing form the Twitter link, but when I tried to go directly to the video through you tube I found exactly what you said.

Not sure why. But at the same time I am not surprised.

This is the future the Progressives are driving us towards. Socialism cannot survive in a healthy society so they have to repress the healthy society and keep it sick in order to stay in power.

Nazi Germany had a song: “The future belongs to me”

Look it up on youtube.

Like the Obama children in 2008 “Sing for Change”

Childhood Propaganda

Thanks - Unfortunately its worse than this video can describe. Cuban mercs in the form of “Doctors” are being imported into Brazil and Argentina to assist the governments in preventing effective opposition.

Yes, I have been told that too.

It is harder to explain.

A picture is worth a thousand words at times.

There were reports last night of 600,000 Cuban troops either in Venezuela or on the way.

Cubans military is already there. Officially, Cuba receives several thousand barrels of oil per day to pay for Teachers and Nurses provided by Cuba. Unofficially, Hugo planted Cuban military leaders long ago to protect against a coup. Maduro has made sure the Vz Military leaders were loyal to him. So much for the idea this is a civil war.

I knew some of that was happening, but not on the scale I hear reports of now.

Let’s send these distinguished foreign and domestic policy experts there to fix things: Danny Glover, Kevin Spacey, Oliver Stone, Sean Penn.

Who knows, maybe they’ll stay.

“Sing for Change” has become the sight of mendicants on the street and outside stores “Begging for Change.”

America will become what this video shows of Venezuala today. Commandeered TV/Radio Stations, newspapers. Protests,
rioting and all that mess. Perhaps the rioting won’t be because of lost freedoms and they will because of a devastated economy and an officially broke government and all that goes with, but the government control and suppression will be the same.

How about today’s reports of FCC plans to locate government censors in the newsrooms? The newspapers? Well, we haven’t had free and open newspapers for decades - they’re all government puppets.

These students are being jailed, shot or disappeared. The government troops have guns; they have nothing but posters. Why is that? Guns for citizens? Why would a ‘citizen’ need a gun, or that gun for ‘hunting’ blah, blah blah as we here it now and ever in the past.

It’s just a matter of time. Obama promised us change and you fools out there voted for him - and this. But what do you care, they’ll still keep charging up your EBT card, won’t they?

Coming soon to your home street. I’ve seen NOTHING about this on the evening news and with our freedom of the press being taken away, Joe American will be even less informed. hussein is taking notes with his almighty pen and will be placing calls on his almighty phone to local LEOs to make use of those tanks, trucks and ammo he’s gifted them. Sadly, it was a vast majority of American students who placed this admin in power, not once but twice.
