Venezuela Banning Imports Of Products That Could Be Used By Opposition
Sparta Report ^ | August 21, 2017 | Pat Pulate

Posted on 08/21/2017 4:20:25 PM PDT by dmacg

Now under Maduro we have a new prohibition, importing anything that protects against riot police such as gas masks, bullet proof vests, metal balls and marbles (could be used as projectiles), knives, sports padding gear, helmets, etc

But it goes even further: Banned first aid stuff:

Antacids, gauze, cream to treat burns, bandages, eye drops, bicarbonate, etc.

One of the keys to the blockade option is to get as many people as possible out of Venezuela before the blockade starts. Then the remaining people would be almost entirely Maduro supporters and the military. At that point, the blockade starts and the combined military force liberates the country one mile at a time. If done correctly, it doesn’t have to turn into a big bloody war. Use air power to push the Venezuelan military back a few miles at a time while the combined military force moves into the unoccupied area and slowly liberates the country. After they run low on food and water, Maduro and the Venezuelan military would then have to surrender within a few months.

This kind of operation would take patience and a lot of spending on food and humanitarian supplies for millions of refugees, and of course all the neighboring countries in South America would have to be on board.

...There is something about absolute power that escapes me. Maduro has to know this is not going to end well for him. All he has to do is get out old pics of Mussolini & Ceausescu to get some idea of how he is going to end up...

The voting that led up to this disaster wasn’t rigged.

I feel bad still.

But why would you vote for the previous regime in the first place?

"This means they won’t need Gulf of Mexico refineries anymore, who will lose that business"

Given the oil (and gas) coming from shale fracking, the Gulf Coast refineries no longer need the Orinoco crude. They will have all the business they can handle. The USA is severely under-built for refineries, and has been for years.

Basically what the Democrats, Obama, Hillary AND Bernie had planned for America. Oh, along with the Uniparty on most days, it seems.

Uniparty Republicans I mean - I didn’t want to name Paul Ryan, John McCain and Lindsey Graham and Jeff Flake specifically. Oh, I did.

It’s the weapon of choice for American Anarchists.

Pretty much. Obama pretty much guaranteed that by spending $8 or $9 trillion on top of W's $7 trillion.

Definitely. I thought Trump might be able to turn things around. But since he is being blocked at every turn, I’m just keeping on preparing for the worst.

Everybody knows the crash is coming. The Democrats / Uniparty goobers are trying to paint “a failure” when in fact they know THEY are the ones guilty of making the disaster happen.

President Trump COULD improve business and jobs in the short term. Those scum are fighting him every which way.

It’s a good idea to keep prepping. A friend said what you gonna do with that stuff? I told him, it gets rotated. It’s no big deal. No different than car insurance.
