Maduro Orders Seizure of Closed Venezuela Factories, Jailing of Owners
MSN ^ | 14 May 2016

Posted on 05/14/2016 5:39:09 PM PDT by Publius

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.

Thanks. There are a lot of people shrugging off the candidacy of Bernie Sanders as a crackpot, but I see it as a canary in the coal mine that he is indeed a viable candidate.

It is indicative, to me, of serious weakness, a cancer in our society.

Not to mention Hillary Clinton as a viable candidate.

You are most welcome. I feel the same way about socialists. When I pass a car with a Bernie Sanders sticker on it, I sometimes wish I have a ready supply of pre-made stickers to slap over it that say:

IF YOU SUPPORT BERNIE SANDERS...
YOU ARE TOO STUPID TO DRIVE.

You are talking about Venezuela, not here, right? Wonder where/when our tipping point is here in the States.

The day the cable TV doesn’t work and the beer runs out.

For the alphas and constructive working class of our citizenry I'd say no more than two or three weeks without baseball and football ( an intentional narcotic Matrix that keeps otherwise conscientious individuals occupied from obsessing upon the corrupt uniparty and and tarring and feathering the ruling class ).

For the rest of the beta sheeple, a week or two without Kardashians and Facebook ought to do it.

One month of such "hardship" here and we get SHTF. Two months until chaos.

Alternatively, the switch can also be quickly flipped if everyone suddenly found themselves paying taxes equally, or, when their socialist security checks start bouncing.

We would already have crossed the Rubicon had the ruling class had not cleverly concocted the greatest dodge ever imagined by man - national debt - where currently alive people charge their spending to as yet unborn future generations. Those people responsible for national debt did this safe with the knowledge they would be dead and buried before anyone caught on to the scam.

You don’t hear leftists talk about the “bourgeoisie” much any more, but back in the 60s, the left promoted the destruction of the “bourgeoisie class.”

The “bourgeoisie” is the middle class, and while you hear the left talk about how they want to help save the middle class, it’s their actions that count, and the actions of the left reveal their goal. The destruction of the middle class. The policies of the left have help reduce the number of people in the middle class, pushing the country more into line with what the left believe it the way things should be: Having a small number of people in the “ruling class,” while everyone else serves them. Think “The Hunger Games,” but without the starvation and militarized police force (at least for now.) But to see what is coming in a few years if our path doesn’t change, is what’s happening in Venezuela right now.

Is anyone else of a mind that the reason for the Obama Regime’s order to allow men with penises to use womens’ bathrooms in grade schools simply a distraction, to hide what’s going on in Venezuela, as well as the really bad stuff he’s doing here?

And while we’re on the topic, does anyone else think the reason for doing what appears to be nothing about the incredible murder rate in Chicago, and the increasing rates in major cities around the country, is to federalize all local law enforcement and effectively end the Second Amendment? Remember when Wayne LaPierre accused Bill Clinton of allowing a certain level of death to advance his gun control plans? Well, as we’ve seen, Obama is a lot more ruthless and uncaring of human tragedy then Clinton appeared to be.

No, that’s an erroneous explanation. The reason he’s doing it is to destroy the family and everything Christian (including the formerly Christian nation). Homosexuality is an abomination according to the Bible so some form of it is always front and center in these purges of normalcy. Same with sexual misidentification: they make up all these gender shades of grey in opposition to the Bible’s unequivocal male and female either-or. Obama is acting out Lucifer’s anti-bible in all its fetid possibilities.

Oh, Sarah! Around here (Madistan, WI) it’s worse than that!

There are successful, highly educated, wealthy people that I know personally who think Bernie is the Cat’s PJ’s!

They can’t see what Socialism IS, either! Of course, they’re the Smart Kids, so THEY will be running things and it’s all gonna work SO much better with THEM in charge of it all.

*Rolleyes*

P.S. Why do washed up Hippies and government-teat sucking Democrats have such LONG shelf lives? WHY haven’t these people aborted themselves into extinction by now?

And you can BET that every hard-core Leftist in our country who sees this is licking their chops at the mere THOUGHT of doing something like this in, say, Detroit or any of their Socialist enclaves!

A dream come true! *SPIT*

The armed forces will turn once they have nothing to eat.

As with North Korea, the government will do anything to keep the military fed and armed.

For the devil seeks to reign in the glory and worship that is due to God, and thus creates an alternative society in which he reigns thru his proxy servants, in which he defiles what the Creator made and ordained, producing aberrations of marriages, etc. And in which the people become increasingly defendant on his proxy servants, giving them homage.

Maduro stopped currency exchanges. Business had no access to dollars, therefore no way to purchase necessities.

Don’t recall seeing the Venezuela issue being covered on any news broadcasts.

Same here. FR is where I first heard of this, but also a bit on Glen Beck this morning on the way to work, and Mark Levin on the way home from work.

But nothing from the "mainstream" media.

I'm of the feeling that the reason Obama pushed out the trannies in the locker room order was to create a firestore, to allow the media to hide the fact that Venuzuela (wasn't Barky once photgraphed with a book by Chavez, and his successful economic programs?) is melting down?
