This is what happens when you vote for free stuff.
Some jackass realizes that you are stupid and then he robs you and everyone else.
Maybe they can eat those “free” college books.
Maybe they can eat those “free” bandages.
Send every college professor to Venezuela for a year. Let them enjoy the socialist paradise where hunger is “free”.

Inconspicuous satellite phones that can do data?
Granted, the data charges would be enormous but the story would likely be worth it.

Starving people become dead people and dead people vote Democrat! I’d say the plan is working.

The Chavez government stole every operation turning a profit and ran it into the ground. The Russians even have a legal claim against Venezuela for a nationalized operation. Why loan to a known thieving operation?

Or, be sadistic and drop surplus MRE’s to them! I’m kidding, I’ve eaten more than a few of those, taken to work for lunch and they A: aren’t bad at all, and B: Sure beats the hell outta no chow! Plus, the college kids and special ed workers there got a big kick out of seeing them. Everything’s sealed in its own pouch—and you gotta cut it open, it won’t tear even one little bit!

So you need scissors (?) and a quart of MetaMucile ?
Have heard of groups living on MRE's for several days, and being 'bound up'.

Set up a wifi-direct link between a camera platform (phone?) and an incognito storage/transmission unit for up-link. Export footage without intermediate storage; thus, no files will be found on the roving camera if searched. The link can be discontinued remotely by the second unit if necessary to hamper radio triangulation.

If they were smart, they would go online and buy hats/caps, that have quality cameras built into them. Don’t see the camera, only looks like you are wearing a normal hat.

Anyone see Sean Penn or Danny Glover or Harry Belafonte in any videos helping the people? I sure as hell don't see them standing in line for food.

The MRE entree pouches are meant to be put in a canteen cup of water and heated over a fire, like the old Banquet cooking bags. There’s no tearing those pouches, ya need scissors or a sharp knife to get ‘em open. I’m a civilian so they’re just a fun novelty to me. Living on them would probable be a pain in the buns but way better than starving!

Exactly. That's how global trade works. If Iran or any of the other communist or fascist oil producing nations get too greedy for royalties/taxes or too nationalistic (isolationist), they'll get the same treatment. Iran, Russia and others are still treading on thin ice.
Communism, fascism, same socialist thing as far as real Americans are concerned.

Here's the truth about leftists instead. They're the most influential constituents on all sides of politics here, in the U.S.A., and most of them claim to be conservatives.

How dare you blow the cover! It's not like leftists have ever infiltrated and co-opted those they perceive as "enemies". They already own the Democratics and a good chunk of the Ryan Republicans. What makes you think they would ever dare pervert the right? Sheeesh!

Yep. One commenter in another thread recently wrote, “They are not conservatives. Heck, they arent even public servants.” ;-)
Politics: still good for entertainment, I reckon.

I’m not against all in government jobs, by the way. Some are very essential. For one thing, we need to fight in the War on Terror, until the enemy no longer has the will to fight. But most political folks appear to have become weak in the knees, complaining around the fringes about nation building, complaining about “neocons” and the like. Crazy conspiracy theories are growing like weeds.
