Venezuela Now a Military Dictatorship (RUMINT: Military about to move on Maduro)
The New American ^ | 13 JUL 16 | Bob Adelman

Posted on 07/13/2016 12:28:34 PM PDT by DCBryan1

Venezuela’s Marxist President Nicolás Maduro (shown, left) closed the loop on Monday night, declaring under powers granted to himself by his “emergency decree” announced in January (later to be declared “constitutional” by his hand-picked Supreme Court) that his new Great Sovereign Supply Mission would be run by the country’s defense minister, Vladimir Padrino López (shown, right).

Maduro put everything that moves into the hands of Padrino: "All the ministries, all the ministers, all the state institutions are at the service [of] and in absolute subordination [to the new mission]."

Padrino, the head of Venezuela’s armed forces, now will be in charge of transporting and distributing what’s left of products supplied by the crippled economy, enforcing price controls, and “stimulating” the economy.

A former head of the armed forces commission in the now emasculated congress, Luis Manuel Esculpí, said, “This is now a completely militarized government. The army is Maduro’s [sole] source of authority.”

The same everywhere throughout history, it starts with a Marxist takeover and ends with mass executions.

Americans would do well to pay attention with the next election coming up.

2013 - Venezuela toilet paper shortage
2015 - Venezuela food shortage

In fairness, on paper it looks like a smart idea to combat the lack of toilet paper by eliminating the root cause of people's need for it.

Where’s he going if he gets deposed? Cuba? Bolivia?

RE Military moving on Maduro:

Good... we’re about due for another “Ceacescu Protocol” moment. Haven’t had a good smile like that in long time.

The military in the US will not go along with it for any POTUS, least of all The Present. They despise him.

Yes, Venezuela. Show us how truly international and unprejudiced you really are. The reactionary, Trump, wants to build a wall. You roll out a red carpet for the comrades in black whom he rejects.
