Venezuela On The Brink – Images and Video
Conservative Treehouse ^ | April 21, 2017 | Sundance

Posted on 04/21/2017 11:28:53 AM PDT by detective

The media is downplaying, and in most cases ignoring, the extreme nature of the crisis currently going on in socialist Venezuela under the Maduro regime.  Most of the cries for help are from people begging the international media to cover their plight.

Some of the video and photography are stunning as millions of people take to the streets to protest a collapsing economy and food shortages while being met with tanks, guns and rogue militias hired by the government.

Some of the targeted citizens appear chosen at random.  Some of the citizens are also desperate and fighting back. Warning – These images are graphic and the video feeds are also alarming.  However, the media are barely reporting on any of this, and unfortunately, it looks like things are getting worse:

Exactly!

I was watching some of the panicked and crying women and I found myself asking myself “is she part of the something for nothing crowd” that voted this all in?

Its very difficult to tell what's going on there just from Twitter... and our "news" stations are stuck on politics-only mode so they don't cover world news much these days.

Anyway, it appears that the government will eventually squash the protests... seems they're arresting them by the boatload, and looters and thugs are making it hard for the everyday people to get behind any sort of organized movement.

Pretty sad... I feel for the people there.

Don’t underestimate the power of the people....especially if the military supports them....which will likely occur as this progresses.

I remember about 15 years ago when Chavez was stealing everything from the private sector and all everyone was celebrating in the street. These same people who have voted in this mess are now demanding that others come in and clean up their mess.

It is best if they wallow in their sewage so they can be real clear that what they voted in was a big mistake.

Some of the MSM reporters are just communists themselves with the way their reports from the country are written.

Here’s Daniel Duquenal’s blog post about his participation in the protests Wednesday.

My pleasure of course....me thinks this may turn to like Egypts revolution....it’s going to take some time and Maduro isn’t going to step down without a pay out.

World bank has already stepped up to the plate....of course....to get their itchy fingers in the pie and create another welfare state emboldened to them.

All Remains to be seen...
