Venezuela On The Brink – Images and Video

Conservative Treehouse ^ | April 21, 2017 | Sundance

The media is downplaying, and in most cases ignoring, the extreme nature of the crisis currently going on in socialist Venezuela under the Maduro regime.  Most of the cries for help are from people begging the international media to cover their plight.

Some of the video and photography are stunning as millions of people take to the streets to protest a collapsing economy and food shortages while being met with tanks, guns and rogue militias hired by the government.

Some of the targeted citizens appear chosen at random.  Some of the citizens are also desperate and fighting back. Warning – These images are graphic and the video feeds are also alarming.  However, the media are barely reporting on any of this, and unfortunately, it looks like things are getting worse:

The government came to power through the first widespread use of voting machines that have no paper trail.

The Venezuelan leaders promised a perfect world.

And they have one.....for themselves.

They’re eating cats on the corners in Caracas.
