It's starting. The brave students and people of Venezuela are starting to fight back against the socialist CUBAN-run dictatorship in Venezuela. The brave people there need support. In the meantime, the United States sits on it's hands SHAMEFULLY doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!
SEE THE ON THE SCENE VIDEO....... HERE!
You beat me to it.
I'm ashamed of my country in so many ways...
I’ll clue you in. Standing on a hard surface, provided there is no cover available, is better than going prone. Shooting “short” in front of the target enables ricochets to impact it, accomplishing the intended goal.
Yep. Skipshots on pavement work very well with buckshot.
GO TO THE “12:39” MARK ON THE TAPE and you will see how the regime has already lost the population. The CUBANS better be prepared to pack up and GO QUICKLY!
It would be a lot different if they had guns.
Cubans, Russians, Iranians
Oh, I saw this on CNN. *snicker*
Nice background music in the vid.
A Bridge to Far?
.
Collecting water samples.
to = too
.
Wrist-rockets are devastating in these types of encounters.
what many fail to realize is that Mexico could easily fall into this same situation, and in many ways, is already there. I’m more concerned about a full out war at our border than elsewhere around the world.
I’m certain that our president will promptly turn his back on them.
Maybe Russia and Iran, favoring the Venezuelan commie government, will send masked troops to clean up those protestors.
What Russia did has raised a stink that is rising over its old communist buddies.
About time that students became studious of the right stuff.
I believe “the consent of the governed” has been withdrawn.
A lot of good throwing arms there!
Imprisoned Venezuelan Opposition Leader’s letter to His Holiness Pope Francisco
http://cubanexilequarter.blogspot.com/2014/02/imprisoned-venezuelan-opposition.html
“[S]pare no efforts to promote national reconciliation through mutual forgiveness and sincere dialogue, respect for truth and justice, able to address specific issues for the common good.”- Pope Francisco on situation in Venezuela, February 26, 2014
“I have taken the audacity to write these lines because I am convinced, as millions in Venezuela , that your voice , your guidance and your blessing to our people at this time can make a profound impact on the next destination of our country.”- Leopoldo López Mendoza, letter dated February 17, 014
Caracas, February 17, 2014
His Holiness
Pope Francisco
Supreme Pontiff
With deep admiration and full of humility, I ask your blessings to the people of Venezuela in moments of profound difficulty for all Venezuelans hit by the most severe economic crisis, by insecurity accompanied by unleashed impunity and the loss increasingly accelerated of our freedoms for all Venezuelans, especially those of us who have contrary thoughts to those who govern today.
I am writing this letter from the underground and within a few hours of appearing before the manipulated justice of my country, which has issued an arrest warrant attributing against me the crimes of murder and terrorism, for the simple fact of having called our people to exercise our right to protest as it is protected in our Constitution and the fundamental rights of free men. This situation of persecution and criminalization of protest has affected hundreds of youth who have been detained, tortured and subjected to unfounded processes that seek to plant fear and limit the voice of millions of Venezuelans who promote change.
I have taken the audacity to write these lines because I am convinced, as millions are in Venezuela , that your voice , your guidance and your blessing to our people at this time can make a profound impact on the next destination of our country.
A few years ago I had the opportunity to talk with the Polish leader Lech Walesa, who I asked what was the most decisive event in his years long struggle that culminated with the fall of communism, his response was immediate and very precise: The visit and the message of John Paul II to Poland.
I understand that the historical circumstances are very different , but like the twilight years of communism in Europe, now in Venezuela we are living in times of deep despair and hopelessness, a word, a sentence, a message from you I’m sure could make a significant impact, the encounter of our people with peace, liberty and democracy.
Chances are when you read this letter I will already be jailed on the orders of Nicolas Maduro; a situation that I ‘m willing to take on if in something it contributes to awaken our people on the need to together make a change.
With the mere fact that you read these lines and keep a place in your heart for the Venezuelan people will give us immense strength to move forward, guided by the teachings of Christ our Lord.
Benediction,
Leopoldo López Mendoza
