It is hard not to be despondent in Venezuela these days. Even if the paradox is that the despondency of some translate into renewed energy. I suppose that when everything has been stolen from you, that is, your future, you may react strongly, if anything to see how many you can bring down with you......
... last two weeks, as expected, the regime has been cranking up its terror machine. They attack with excess tear gas, excess violence, more and more live bullets, even before the protest marches get the time to coalesce. But that has not been enough to stop people from taking to the streets so they notched it up. Thus they started riding their bikes into shopping centers and shot people taking refuge in there. I know it, a brother of mine was the victim of one of such attacks...
Now they steal while they repress. That is, they gas you while they are protected with their masks, and when you are coughing out your lungs they perform on you one of many of the following activites, frisk you, beat you up, smash you to the ground, break your camera or personal object of choice, steal your cell phone, steal your wallet and wristwatch, and who know what else their Nazified mind can come up with.......
.... I did not envision a Venezuelan police beating to the ground someone without any weapon in hand, and then lower himself over his victim and search his pockets. Somehow for all my Cassandra qualities I was expecting more classical repression, more death counts. But no, a narco state does not operate this way. Its terror is sui generis. And now Cassandra is afraid to meditate on what comes next.

You may see Venezuela as a Communist state and it is right now but its also a state led by narco gangsters (international drug dealers).
The regime sends its forces into shopping centers and apartment complexes for random attacks after protests break up late in the day.
The attacks are designed to terrorize and intimidate people, but they keep coming out the next day to protest again.
I hope than Madura is overthrown that we don’t offer him asylum.
Communism plus drug cartels plus terrorism. Exactly what the left wants to import here.
Sending in forces on motorbikes. Geez, find the guy who has spools of piano wire! Even relatively good fishing line will work. Start a protest, end it with everyone going into a mall. Twang! Better yet, take a page out of the Viet Cong booby traps, pungie sticks, etc. The Narco Goons won’t know what hit them.
I’m sure there’s a bed in Havana for him.
