Venezuela Readies for 'State of Internal Commotion' Ahead of Civilian Unrest (Booting Maduro)
ABC News ^ | May 20, 2016 | MARIAM KHAN

Posted on 05/20/2016 10:30:11 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

As opposition to Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro intensifies, the country is now preparing for the biggest military exercises in its history this Saturday – an opportunity to flex its military muscle ahead of possible violent street protests spurred by civilian unrest.

Maduro, who is facing a recall referendum, has warned that he may declare a “state of internal commotion” if a coup occurs, according to the Latin America Herald Tribune. The state of internal commotion would allow the government to bypass normal legislative procedures in order to impose stricter security measures.

Nicolas Maduro better head to the airport like NOW and get out. Otherwise he might well face a Ceausescu fate. There is NO food left there which means the people are desperate. They can't wait for a recall election. This move by the military will be a move AGAINST Maduro within a few days. The dam has already broken with a former Major General by the name of Cordones declaring that Maduro must go. Either Maduro goes quick or the military will have to face almost the whole population enraged by starvation.

Oh, most of the generals are themselves corrupt but the mass starvation of the populace leaves them with no choice but to get rid of Maduro.

He’s a traitor to Venezuela. He should meet the same end as Chile’s Allende, another traitor.

Venezuela is currently the world's most dangerous country. Caracas the most dangerous city. Think about that. Baghdad is safer.

Maybe Venezuelans will elect a former burger-flipper, who can describe to them a place where you could actually buy a sandwich in exchange for money once upon a time.

Today's Venezuelans will declare him insane and have him arrested because that's how they want to live and that's what they vote for.

Oh well.

“He’s a traitor to Venezuela. He should meet the same end as Chile’s Allende, another traitor.”

Just hang the bastard from a lamp post in downtown Caracas and be done with it. Where’s Venezuela’s General Al-Sisi when they need him.

As Venezuela arrives at the inevitable end of Marxist economic policies, America faces an election in which two candidates - Clinton and Sanders - are seeking to do the very same thing to the United States.

Astounding.

A commotion is a large person walking in a skirt.

What’s about to happen in VZ is more than a commotion.

Hungry people either submit or kill. These folks are still healthy enough to not submit.

Venezuela is a test case. How many Government promises will be believed for how long?
What happens if the Government labels people born with white skin as racists? What then?

It can happen here.

You want to read something both tragic and funny at the same time? Click on over to ZNet.

Just try and read some the idiocy below. Try to get through more than a few paragraphs of this abject Marxist gobbledy gook. It's absolutely breathtaking the level of delusion that is shown.

And these idiots actually think they're the enlightened ones! They think we "capitalists" are the stupid ones!

Try to get through this:

Venezuela – a last warning

What's the problem with the Revolution? It just hasn't been carried far enough. They need to follow through. Yeah, that's the ticket! The article above ends with:

The hour is one of extreme danger. This can only be overcome by extreme measures and firmness. Enough with vacillations. Carry out the revolution to the end!
Or try to get all the way through this one. I dare you:

Venezuela On Fire

It's important to get a glimpse into the Enemy's mind. They are totally subservient to their destructive, ultimately murderous ideology.

And no matter how much socialism they try, whenever it fails, it's always the fault of some dirty capitalists somewhere.

It would be comical if it weren't for all of the human suffering involved. And now, in Venezuela, people are starving. In one of the most oil-rich countries in the world, they can't keep food on the shelves of their markets.

The poor are being totally seduced by the shortcuts promised in Socialism/Marxism, as usual. This time around, the flavor in Venezuela is the "Bolivarian Revolution", whatever the f--k that is supposed to be.

Marxists and their dupes are just the most pathetic, misguided creatures on earth.

Because FREEDOM, Americans have the highest standard of living on the face of the earth, and people like Hillary and Bernie want Americans to try more socialism instead of less?

God forbid...

Vote Trump!

Maduro deserves no special favors. A plane ride out is too kind. Ditto to what the others have said about worms and buzzards.

sargon :" Enough with vacillations. Carry out the revolution to the end!"

That sounds like Bernie , almost verbatim !
I wonder what Klintoon's response will be, the same as Maduro ?

Well, I took your challenge and lost. I couldn’t get through 2 paragraphs of that howling nonsense. One thing about commies I have noticed though is that they sure are long-winded.
