People are fleeing the socialism forced on them in Venezuela by the hundreds of thousands. Starving, and facing violence over crumbs of food, many have no choice but to flee the wasteland which used the authority of government to destroy the lives of its citizens.
Thousands of Venezuelans are attempting to flee the socialist dystopia their nation has become. They are attempting to make it to Colombia. In a desperate bid to escape the hunger and soaring crime rate caused by the spiraling economic crisis, fueled by socialist policies, incredible pictures have surfaced showing the mass exodus of refugees crossing the Simon Bolivar international bridge trying to flee the ongoing political crisis threatening to engulf Venezuela.
Colombia and its neighbor Brazil have both sent extra soldiers to patrol their porous borders with Venezuela after officially taking in more than half a million migrants over the last six months of 2017. The country is also tightening its border controls in a bid to stem the flow of starving people. The situation in Venezuela has reached SHTF levels.
Truck drivers are subjected to horrific violence as looters target heavy goods vehicles carrying food in a desperate attempt to feed their families. The truckers are banned by the government from carrying guns to protect themselves, so have resorted to forming convoys to protect each other. They text each other warnings about potential trouble spots and keep moving as fast as possible.
According to Reuters, there were 162 lootings across Venezuela in January, including 42 robberies of trucks.

Yeah, a workers utopia! Where from each according to his ability to each according to his need. Oh wait, that’s sexist and gender exclusionary to say ‘’his’. I mean ‘their need’’. Yeah anyway, like, socialism works. It works ‘cuz Bernie Sanders say’s it does.
And here they come. Straight to America.

Thanks blam.
Thanks blam. The US should be aiding third parties like the Sal Army and Red Cross in setting up shelters, drinking water, food -- in Columbia.
In Venezuela, the US should be smart-bombing the Iranian missile sites, advanced fighters in their hangars, and the Kalishnikov factories.
Does not the Demonrat agenda work wonderfully.

After the first vote, there are no others. After the first vote, those in control control the vote.

The end state of socialism.
California dreamin.
Do you think they’ll learn a lesson from it? Me, neither.
Rush touched in this, today. His take is that the Enemy Media and the Left will find some way to blame this on PDJT and Conservatives, especially when these people turn up at our southern border. They’ll NEVER look inward and blame Socialism/Communism. It’s just not in their DNA.
And I’m betting that Rush is right!
