Cities across Venezuela are increasingly agitated, as government offices closed their doors for the rest of the week in the face of a worsening energy crisis that is causing daily blackouts.
Venezuela is among the world's most violent countries, and crime generally spikes here when the lights go out.
Looting and fiery protests starting spreading Wednesday in Caracas, as hundreds of angry voters lined up to sign a petition beginning the process of recalling the deeply unpopular President Nicolas Maduro.
The socialist administration began imposing a four-hour daily blackout around the country this week to save electricity. Then, Maduro announced that millions of officials will now work only Mondays and Tuesdays, taking the rest of the week off in a bid to save electricity.

Maduro warned that the water level behind the nation's largest dam has fallen to near its minimum operating level because of a severe drought. If it gets much lower, the whole nation could be plunged into darkness.

Bernies World.
Preppers take notes.
But they have such a great music program for kids.
The wages of socialism are death.
The worst part is they have run out of grain to brew the beer!
Bastages!
Nice. If you want fee education,medical,food, free rent, etc it’s called being in prison.
It’s one of the biggest oil producing countries. Gas is dirt cheap. Everyone but a generator already.
“They need to start slaying communists.”
Instead, hundreds - hundreds! - showed up to sign a petition.
Shows how many still like the “free stuff” idea, to the bitter end.

There was an article posted here last night that showed what could be the real cause of the electricity shortage. It looks like rainfall in the river basins that feed the dam is about average. That led the author to look around for other causes. He found that the thermoelectric plants are running at about 50% of capacity, due to maintenance and supply problems. He figured that the dam has been drawing down the water to make up for that lost generation. Doing so deceased the head pressure at the hydro turbines, meaning they have to release even more water to make the same amount of electricity.
They have tried to blame their problems on a drought when it looks like the blame is on the socialist managers.
So it begins ... with chapped `zuelan a**es over the TP shortages.
Surprised Obamagumbe isn’t bombing them, his General Whipple dropping bales of Charmin, along with freshly minted Army Rangerette advisers to show them:
“OK, peepul. Wad two squares, like ... this. Bueno, muy bueno. Now, from the front, folks.”
Now playing at a nation near you.
Thanks for voting for it by the way. :P
