This Thursday, January 08, at night, the Sectorial Vice President for Politics, Citizen Security and Peace, Diosdado Cabello Rondón, during a tour of the streets of Caracas, stressed that Venezuela is in peace
He argued that Venezuela is at peace, “and one of the fundamental reasons that Venezuela is at peace, and peace is guaranteed, is that the Venezuelan State has a monopoly on weapons.”
In this regard, on a broadcast of Venezolana de Televisión, he highlighted that he was meeting a group of officials from the General Directorate of Military Counterintelligence (DGCIM) and the Bolivarian National Intelligence Service (SEBIN).
“We all met here by chance in this square in O'Leary Square, first to inform the world that Venezuela is in peace,” he emphasized.
He stressed that Venezuelans “have been slowly reassembling ourselves after the attack that was carried out against our people against the peace of the country and that ended with the kidnapping of brother President Nicolás Maduro and our dear companion Cilia Flores.”
He also stated that “the weapons are in the possession of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces and the State Security Corps. Having the position of arms has allowed us control so that no group or anyone can claim acts of violence other than those caused on January 3 in the early morning by the United States government.”
The also Minister of People's Power for Internal Relations, Justice and Peace, asserted that “that tranquility that today our people, despite the proximity of that attack, has to do with the fact that the State has a monopoly on arms in Venezuela and we are guarantors of the country's tranquility thanks to the fact that we have that possibility.”
“You know that there are other countries where people have weapons at home and they go to a school and carry out a massacre, they go to a movie theater and commit a massacre, here in Venezuela the Venezuelan State has a monopoly on weapons and we have it guaranteed,” he reiterated.
Ahhhhh……look at that tranquility…….
The “warmth of collectivism.”
I’ll keep my guns and freedom, thank you very much.
That excellent radio ad for the NRA a few years ago has a woman saying her native Venezuela took all the guns away from the people “because they said it would make us all safer.” Then only the violent drug gangs and their enforcers, street criminals and the corrupt government on the take has ALL the guns.
The country went into the toilet.
we are guarantors of the country’s tranquility thanks to the fact that we have that possibility.”
So does the Iranian government.
Prisons require that the state have a monopoly on arms.
Much joking this morning about whether he is Fred Flintstone or Barney Rubble.
Weren’t the shooting Venezuelans after Maduro got arrested?
I suppose your definition of *calm* depends on which end of the gun you’re looking at.
Funny….even in prison, you find guys with ordnance.
Who has more ordnance, the guards or the convicts?
Well, we could change that pretty quickly.
Exactly.
“Security without liberty is prison.” - Benjamin Franklin
Well they are communists. but now they are our communists. Break it you bought it.
The government having a monopoly on guns is exactly why the citizens are slaves to the stat obey are be shot.
The sad thing is, one set of communist dictators under Maduro has been replaced by another set of communist dictators under Darcy Rodriguez.
The old maxim is true: you can only shoot your way out. And the people of Venezuela are stuck because they have no way to shoot.
So the communism continues. Sad.
That’s a terribly fake Franklin quote.
This place looks pretty peaceful as well.
