It didn’t matter to officer Kevin Valera that his new love, Jenniree, already had a daughter, he had always wanted to have children. So he treated little Ashley like his own and to her he simply was daddy. Then Kevin and Jenniree had a baby boy in February this year.

On September 17th, after going out for groceries, the couple came home to El Cementerio, an ominously named slum in the western part of Caracas. Jenniree had little Kevin Alexander in her arms. The couple paid no attention to the strange quiet of the street as they entered their house.

Two things. As a general rule, when a government attacks wealth as illegitimate, they take the lid of Pandora’s Box. Thieves find their thievery morally justified, and lose all restraint.

The result is hell on earth.

And secondly, this government openly allied itself with street gangs, and made them an extension of its police power. This gives some of them immunity, and the rest a feeling of quasi-immunity.

This government is a criminal gang from top to bottom. At the top they go after banks and companies and landowners. At the bottom they go after the housewife carrying a bag of groceries. Ordinary people live in abject fear all of the time.

The U.S. will end up like this some day soon if we continue our mad drive down the path toward a more Socialist Welfare State — we’ll make a pit stop in Greece first, but then will quickly continue on to the mayhem that you see today in Venezuela.

A collapsed state doesn’t look like we imagine, it doesn’t look like Mad Max.

It looks like Venezuela.
