Venezuelans started looting supermarkets in Caracas on Sunday, as power outages reached their fourth day

Venezuela opposition leader Juan Guaido called for a nation-wide march on the capital to pressurise regime

The country will enter fifth day of power outages after blackouts crippled infrastructure, shops and hospitals

President Nicolas Maduro has blamed the blackout on sabotage and cyber attacks from within Venezuela

============================================================================

Some Venezuelans have taken to looting supermarkets in Caracas during the fourth day of blackouts, which have paralysed the country.

Pictures reveal that some supermarkets in the capital have been left ransacked by desperate residents as they struggle to find food.

Security forces detained a number of people who were caught looting on Sunday, with some pictures showing looters being piled onto waiting trucks.

Armed men were seen forcefully escorting young men and women to the trucks.

At the current pace of things....I’d say that Maduro is in his final ten to fifteen days. If he can’t restore power, that’s the final door to his legit existence. Amazing that this country.....fifty years ago, was considered the most advanced country in South America, and how far it’s fallen in fifty years.

This is the phantom of a civil war. I truly wonder how long the population can refrain themselves before the real violent overthrow of Maduro’s government takes place?

This is the end result of Socialism. People literally starving but the police and military, loyal to the government and well-fed, are still able to keep the people down. So they riot and die.

The primary motivating force in Venezuela is now fear.

How will that be directed?

Towards the safety of a return to Maduro or towards anger that wants him dead and gone?

“Here, in the United States, we are alarmed by new calls to adopt socialism in our country. ... Tonight, we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country,”


Remember these words from Trump. Many might think this was all politics but I think he had a lot of intel and knew what was happening. We have a president who truly cares.

By the way, search the net for Trump socialism, and this is what you find.

In short, Trump is a national socialist – or perhaps “social nationalist” would be the better term. To be sure, he is not a Nazi. Nor is he a national socialist in the vein of the current North Korean tyranny, or that of Pol Pot. He is a different type of nationalist/ socialist.

They paint Trump as a Socialist!

“Towards the safety of a return to Maduro or towards anger that wants him dead and gone?”

There are approximately 20,000 Cuban troops who are now essentially trapped in Venezuela. They will not go quietly when Maduro falls.

And fall he will.

I went on the Trip Advisor Forum for Venezuela the other day to check out what travelers were saying.

Amazingly, even as late as last month, there were people on there who claimed they were still planning trips to Venezuela, and that the situation there was being “exaggerated” by the media. One poster, from Brazil, even referred to the “Imperialist Big Brother” (aka, the United States) as an instigator of the bad press Venezuela was receiving.
