There fearless leader sounds just like our democratic regime. They will Nationalize any industry who doesn’t submit to central planning. Their leader has oil he can’t get at. People who want cars but they aren’t available. Shortages of electricity, and many other necessary items. And with a Maxine Waters stutter says he is going to punish industry if they don’t do as he says. Looks like Venezuela is full speed ahead BACK TO THE BURROW.

I was just reading up on the situation down there, commenting on the utter indifference, apparently, of our Legacy Media up here.

There are some brave bloggers devoting a lot of energy getting the news out of "the Cuban colony of Venezuela."

Where have all the Flower Children gone?

That silence you hear issues from the media/celebrity axis regarding the massive protests in Venezuela where hip college kids are being beaten, tear-gassed, and shot down in a manner to shame anything done by Mayor Daley’s police in 1968 or the Ohio National Guard in 1970. Six Venezuelan youths are confirmed dead and hundreds have been injured and/or arrested.

Forget looking in the mainstream media for the nitty-gritty of this communist repression. The Venezuelan regime —under the (literal!) and expert tutelage of their Cuban colonial overlords–is easily censoring the sheeplike mainstream media. The truth is getting out through social media.
Please don’t miss these dramatic videos.
