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 MSM reporters are just communists themselves with the way their reports from the country are written.
Here’s Daniel Duquenal’s blog post about his participation in the protests Wednesday.

Thanks for all the posts. BTTT.
Interesting read...always like to hear from those actually on the ground...
My pleasure of course....me thinks this may turn to like Egypts revolution....it’s going to take some time and Maduro isn’t going to step down without a pay out.
World bank has already stepped up to the plate....of course....to get their itchy fingers in the pie and create another welfare state emboldened to them.
All Remains to be seen...
