Maduro Orders Seizure of Closed Venezuela Factories, Jailing of Owners

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday ordered authorities to seize factories that have stopped production and jail their owners, a day after declaring a state of emergency to combat the country's economic crisis.

"We must take all measures to recover productive capacity, which is being paralyzed by the bourgeoisie," he told a rally in Caracas.

"Anyone who wants to halt (production) to sabotage the country should get out, and those who do must be handcuffed and sent to the PGV (Venezuelan General Penitentiary)," he said.

Shadowstrike :" Prepper Ping List? "

Thanks for the heads up. Not necessarily appropriate for Prepper List
More likely the "SHTF" list, if there is one ..
or "Atlas Shrugged " List !.. because that is what was predicted as a Socialist/ Communist response : Compounded Stupidity !

100%

You bet - 24/7 and not just on newscasts. Flipped to four different channels this morning and all touting “Ryan’s awesome integrity” and how Trump is “damaging the Republican brand”. Good grief!

TIK : "Atlas Shrugged " List !.. because that is what was predicted as a Socialist/ Communist response : Compounded Stupidity !"

Let's say you have an economic problem in the country, where there is 593% inflation in a month, you have oil reserves,
and the government needs people off the streets, and you episodically have little or no electrical power for manufacturing
and then you threaten to jail the manufacturers, who create the jobs, with jail time if they are not up and running.
This is typical Communist logic !

Exactly! The government should not supply ANY of its population's needs, except the very limited few enumerated in the Constitution. Government can only expand by robbing citizens of their liberty and their property -- the very condition our forefathers waged a revolution against.

Anyone who asks "Why doesn't the government do something?" is a traitor to our nation's vision. It is not the government's responsibility to do ANYTHING, except provide for the common defense and regulate international commerce. All other functions -- save those explicitly laid out in our founding charters -- are usurped from The People, and only at a cost of our cherished freedom.

A government controlling light bulbs and toilet flushes? A government regulating hairdressers and nail salons? A government taxing people to pay for pornographic "art" and perverted media? How can anyone say that this is a government "of the people, for the people, and by the people"?

Epic rant. Bravo!

[ichabod1]

Yeah all we need is a free trade agreement with Venezuela so they can siphon off some more of OUR endless largesse.

[Last Dakotan]

I think the common thread is stupidity.

I’ve cone to the conclusion that we are all sheep. We need to realize who the true Shepherd is.

[ichabod1]

They’ve been taught that the evil capitalists and corporations have been shutting the factories down and shipping the jobs overseas.

[Rusty0604]

I have to re-educate my grandson about what capitalism is, in the simplest terms. I hope some of it sticks.

[ichabod1]

BEcause it’s a half-truth! They cause it, blame capitalist, then apply more of the same.

[mainestategop]

I suppose the next step is to force the owners and workers to work at gunpoint.

You bet... Just like in the USSR and China. It'll be sweatshop labor. And like in the USSR and parts of the American Northeast like Maine, New York and Massachusetts Anyone who can't work or who the state can't find work for will branded social parasites and undesirables and either be incarcerated in prisons and institutions or killed.

The next time you go to Wal-mart, expect to find Made in Caracas labels. They'll be getting our jobs.

[mainestategop]

Straight out of Bernie Sander’s America too!

[RegulatorCountry]

If you have no raw materials, no electricity and no money to pay for for it even if you did, how does opening the factory and calling the workers back solve anything?

[xp38]

Well all good communist states have to have full employment.

[Captain7seas]

Don’t recall seeing the Venezuela issue being covered on any news broadcasts. If I didn’t read FR postings I wouldn’t have a clue that they had any problems at all.

Exactly right! Not a peep about this on ANY other media I have seen except here.
