Most of the cries for help are from people begging the international media to cover their plight.

The media are their enemy! They will not cover their plight unless it gets into a civil war, then they will be called 'rebels' or 'anti-government forces'..............

They should focus all their efforts on one goal, Maduro’s head on a stick.

Yes, from now on, this is the one-word answer to all the social justice warriors who feel Socialism is the “be all, end all” of political and economic philosophies: “Venezula!”

And for those who thought Atlas Shrugged was pulp fiction and way over the top, this is Atlas Shrugged in real time.

They need guns and ammo.

Brutal communist dictatorships don’t care about a few protest signs from the hungry serfs.

"On the brink"?

Venezuela has already sailed off and over and is plunging down hard.

Haven't seen anything like that since the crackdown in Tienanmen Square, and then Romania a few months afterward in 1989.

I flunked Spanish thrice in high school, but the girl in the BlackBerry cap could not have been more eloquent.

When socialism and liberalism fail, it makes a hell of a mess. One which, all too often, good people die. No wonder the majority of the world's media wants to keep this quiet. Liberalism promises a utopia. Instead it inevitably delivers a Mad Max movie.

Call it what is...communism. Dictatorial, brutal, and authoritarian

Asking the media to report it is like asking the blind to talk of colors.

This is not going to end well for the Chavenistas.

It’s coming to a head now, yet our media chooses not to draw lessons from it. That wouldn’t fit the narrative.

Maybe we should send Sean Penn back down to patch things up.

75% of the voters voted for this hell and now they want help getting out. This is a necessary step for them to go through so they are motivated to do the right things. Until they realize that the voters created this hell and that they need to recognize their mistakes they belong exactly on the dung heap they have created.

It appears that Venezuelan society has become somewhat polarized.

The government came to power through the first widespread use of voting machines that have no paper trail.

The Venezuelan leaders promised a perfect world.

And they have one.....for themselves.

They’re eating cats on the corners in Caracas.

Lots of chaotic looting and stuff going on, but the government/military have overwhelming firepower.

It all started when the people elected the “progressive” Hugo Chavez.
