With delivery trucks under constant attack, the nation’s food is now transported under armed guard. Soldiers stand watch over bakeries. The police fire rubber bullets at desperate mobs storming grocery stores, pharmacies and butcher shops. A 4-year-old girl was shot to death as street gangs fought over food. Venezuela is convulsing from hunger.
Hundreds of people here in the city of Cumaná, home to one of the region’s independence heroes, marched on a supermarket in recent days, screaming for food. They forced open a large metal gate and poured inside. They snatched water, flour, cornmeal, salt, sugar, potatoes, anything they could find, leaving behind only broken freezers and overturned shelves. And they showed that even in a country with the largest oil reserves in the world, it is possible for people to riot because there is not enough food.
In the last two weeks alone, more than 50 food riots, protests and mass looting have erupted around the country. Scores of businesses have been stripped bare or destroyed. At least five people have been killed. This is precisely the Venezuela its leaders vowed to prevent......To Read More.....
My Take - They feel the Bern! I'm just concerned Sean Penn, Michael Moore, Danny Glover, Barbara Streisand, Jane Fonda, Alec Baldwin, Susan Sarandon, Janeane Garofalo or Joy Behar, Rosie O'Donnell, Matt Damon, John Cusack, Cher, Ashley Judd, Whoopie Goldberg, Cameron Diaz, Lena Dunham, Roseanne Barr, Jim Carey, Chris Rock, Russell Brand, Madonna, Orlando Jones, Oliver Stone and Bill Maher aren't there to share the Bern with the people of Venezuela.
Or even better yet - perhaps they can organize a massive fund raiser with their fellow celebrities and raise millions, or even better yet, tens of millions and then contribute those millions to the government of Venezuela. After all....it's leftist government they claim to believe in so passionately so they "know" their money won't be wasted on the undeserving. Right? Hey Sean - we're waiting for you to organize such an event!!!!!
Oh, and don't let those reports of the socialist leadership living country club lives quaffing champaign while "middle-class mothers scavenge for food in the gutter". . . "even the dogs are starving.” And don't let the comment from one "wealthy Chavez crony who askes, “Should we stop enjoying ourselves just because the country is burning?” Well, of course not."
Please stand up for your principles and no matter happens don't let reality stand in the way of your leftist visions of utopia, liberty, equality, fraternity. Oh wait.....wasn't that the slogan of the French Revolution as the leftist leadership implemented what history calls The Terror?
