This story has been reported only in two media outlets in Trinidad (though only one is online.) Its a measure of the state of blocking out the press in Venezuela. Three Venezuela doctors die at sea going to Trinidad for medicines for patients they can no longer find in Venzuela. They died on their return trip......

The lying NYT:
"The growing economic crisis (was) fueled by low prices for oil, the country's main export; When the fact is that Chavez came to power in '99 and eventually absorbed all the other Socialist Party competition in 2007. The decade prior to oil prices had lanquished in the 20 dollar range and as he came to power oil prices doubled to 40 dollars a barrel. He then enjoyed five years of wallowing in wealth as the price went from 60 to 140 and never dropped back to below 38 until after he was dead and so was his nation from HIM.
See:
The Times lies like this to promote Socialistic goals and because the American public lets them. When you talk to t=people you need to tell them that like CNN, the NYT is Fake scum.

Not certain how long this will continue before they declare it's a civil war in Venzuela.....they need the military on their side for this to work.......it's being said police moral is very low and some resigning.....which indicates possible the military will step up next....and then turn against the leadership....time will tell.....

The minimum wage is about $20 a month in Venzuela
The basic food basket costs about $166.
Inflation is in the triple-digits.
More than 5,000 bolivars are needed to buy a dollar.

Reminds me of my world history teacher about pre-Nazi Germany when inflation was so high. People had to carry their money around in wheelbarrows. Except you ran the risk of getting the wheelbarrow stolen. (But they would let you keep the money).
Let’s hope that someone like Hitler doesn’t take advantage of the chaos down there. Although it is South America - so I’m guessing it will be just another dictator-like leader.

Maduro is their Hitler. Who cares about subtle ideological differences between Communism and Fascism? They both enslave and murder people, as many as it takes to remain in power.
