Crisis in Venezuela Reaches Apocalyptic Proportions
Breitbart ^ | 17 May 2016 | Jen Lawrence

Posted on 05/18/2016 3:54:34 PM PDT by detective

The situation in Venezuela has been steadily declining in the past couple of years, but in the past few weeks, it has become so dire and disturbing that scenes coming out of the socialist country are said to mirror the apocalypse.

News reports have surfaced of people having to eat their own pets in order to survive, due to a lack of food in the country.

Currently, 75 percent of Venezuelans live in poverty, a stunning increase from the 25 percent rate just two years ago.

...........well, I shoulda picked up on that. Short story. I recently moved back from one of the islands in the US Virgin Islands. Reason: No Second Ammendment there! Literally, only the bad guys had arms! After a lady friend had an AK47 barrel stuck inches from her face, and a shoot out with the cops in the parking lot, and another guy shot dead, and 2 others on another island hacked to death, I decided it was time to GO! USVI homicide rate back then was # 8 in the world. For some perspective, South Africa was # 9

I agree with you about Trump eating them alive.

BUT....what if the American People decide to take the way of Utter Insanity and choose Bernie or Hillary? Would it then be time for those who know what’s coming and have a grasp on reality to FINALLY rise up and show people that WE don’t want their crap?

Venezuela is not paying or feeding its army. That means the end is near. Maduro will be “Ceaucescued before its over.

The CPUSA endorsed Obama in ‘08 and again in ‘12.
They didn’t run a candidate because he was so closely aligned with their thinking. Bet they endorse the next dim candidate.

Pretty soon they will need to erect an Iron Curtain to keep people from migrating to their Utopian paradise.

I happened to be doing contract work for Israeli companies when Qaddhafi went ape-chit crazy in 2011. Qaddhafi thought he had all the bases covered plus an escape plan and ended up sodomized and shot dead on the hood of an SUV. Maduro doesn’t have the money or connections that Qaddhafi had.
Maduro is walking dead.

You mean that WHAT GOES AROUND....?

These morons also think socialism means they will get something for free like free college or free government healthcare . The reality is Venezuala right now . Free crap is crap.

Only a private business can produce a good product because they have to to stay in business, That's called capitalism.

a government agency (socialism) doesn't have to produce a quality product to stay in business as they will get a budget grant from the government if they just produce a few reports but no accountability to the market or population is required of a government agency that gives “free” stuff out that is of low or unusable quality (there is no other choice in socialism as there is no competition )

It's already started here in the USA with obama. Hillary /Bernie will continue what Obama started and then Venezuela today is our future in a few years.

The only thing standing in the way of socialism and marxist Rule is Donald Trump!

Won't happen. A few years ago, while Chavez was still "El Comandante," there were widespread demonstrations. Signs read "DOWN WITH THE GOVERNMENT. VIVA EL PRESIDENTE."

You can never under-estimate the stupidity of the public.

They will get free knots on their heads for not showing respect when Dear Reader passes by.

College makes most people worse human beings, at least intellectually. Working for a living, being married, raising kids, making a home are what really makes one wise. That is they way it has always been and always will be. A few years raising a family is worth 12 years in a classroom listening to knuckleheaded profs explain how the world isn’t. In fact, for the most part 12 years in college is a waste of time, unless you are studying engineering, chemistry, or some other useful subject.
