SAN CRISTOBAL/BARINAS, Venezuela, Jan 11 (Reuters) - Hungry mobs ransacked a food collection center, and a supermarket in Venezuela's western Andean state of Merida on Thursday and reportedly even slaughtered cattle grazing in a field as unrest over food shortages spread through the country. An opposition lawmaker from Merida, Carlos Paparoni, said four people had died and 10 were injured in the chaos over the last two days, but he did not specify the circumstances.

They have, they will and they do. The problem is that they bring down the innocent with them.
Brain Dead or Brain Washed. The result is the same.
Slavery on a Mass Scale.
THAT is why the Globalist Pukes are so evil and dangerous.
Imagine a one world controlled by one government. Ultimate Evil.
The devils aim from start.
This, of course, is it in a nutshell. Which I see as a bit of a challenge. We read the book to the end and it comes to an anticlimax, the warnings unheeded bring them to this desperate state but it isn't the end. Just as in the novel the producers and the wealth have expatriated, the engine has stopped and the millions of the Eddie Willers' remain in the ruins, to what end for them?
We have some recent history, witnessing the collapse of the Soviet republics and how many of them have returned to prosperity in our lifetimes, and it seems to me Venezuela is near that stage in its "evolution" where it is time to start thinking about how it is going to come back.
Or am I overthinking it? Is there a role for the outside, for the greater, more prosperous of modern civilization to play in a future re-emergence of a state like Venezuela? I don't know, I have to confess I'm not as well versed in how the old Soviet republics (among others) came back from the brink.
What do you guys see in the yet to be written chapters of this saga?
I'm waiting for the Sign of the Dollar scrawled with chalk, lipstick, highlighter, spray paint, or any other means on walls, overpasses, statues -- and government buildings.
I guess. I have often heard there are still a lot of wealthy Venezuelans but I have to wonder how many of them are actually still in country and in what way they participate in society today.
If they’re smart, they keep a very, very low profile. Venezuela is just a few steps away from cannibalism.
OK; I'll ask. Dumb Question.
Why aren't all other areas of Venezuela similarly distressed?
to answer my own question 90% of the population lives in the river plain in the north/northwest part of the country, using only about 10% of the total land
