Mass Exodus From Venezuela’s Socialist Violence And Starvation

SHTF Plan ^ | 2-13-2018

[blam]

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.

[jmacusa]

And here they come. Straight to America.

Looking down, they could see the last convulsions: the lights of the cars were darting through the streets, like animals trapped in a maze, frantically seeking an exit, the bridges were jammed with cars, the approaches to the bridges were veins of massed headlights, glittering bottlenecks stopping all motion...

Ayn Rand was a prophet in many respects.

Thanks blam.

[SunkenCiv]

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.

[Retvet]

Does not the Demonrat agenda work wonderfully.

[rlmorel]

Thanks for the ping, Publius. Although, I hate seeing Ayn Rand's books come to life.

ONCE!

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

The part of this that goes unsaid is that Socialist wear masks until in power. Deception is their games, and Deception is their nature.

Hat Tip to Duncan Waring for the current situation and updated crisis there in Venezuela

[RedMonqey]

Somewhere is South America today, there’s another Maduro working his way to the top, to wreak havoc on “his people,”

Somewhere in America today, there’s another Obama working his way to the top, to wreak havoc on “his people,”

The Venezuelan people are not safe in their homes, especially if they have only a morsel of food.
The Venezuelan people are not safe on the roads, especially if they were able to procure any food, or gasoline.
Even the police and National Guard have turned to looting, just to survive.
If you can't defend it, you don't own it !

“The part of this that goes unsaid is that Socialist wear masks until in power. Deception is their games, and Deception is their nature.”

I point out as often as I can thatthe Democrats and liberals are socialist/communist. Most people here are clueless about that, even though they do vote Republican. People need to understand what is happening and that Alinsky and Cloward-Pivan havemoved this country so far left I don’t know if we can get back

The end state of socialism.

California dreamin’.

[sparklite2]

Do you think they’ll learn a lesson from it? Me, neither.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

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!
