LINK: Huge power outage in Venezuela raises tensions amid crisis

...CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Much of Venezuela remained engulfed by darkness into early Friday amid one of the largest power outages in years, raising tensions in a country already on edge from ongoing political turmoil.

The blackout hit 22 of 23 states by some accounts. It struck the capital Caracas, which until now has been spared the worst of a collapse in the nation's grid, at the peak of rush hour.

Thousands of commuters flooded into the streets because subway service was stopped. A snarl of cars jammed the streets amid confusion generated by blackened stoplights. Others had to walk long distances to get home....

3/11/19 - Venezuela is close to becoming a post-apocalyptic society – That’s what socialism has created

Cuba isn't going to be far behind when they no longer can siphon oil from Venezuela.

Has any media bothered to ask Joe Kennedy if he's going to pay back the millions he stole from starving Venezuelans as a loyal puppet of Chavez and Maduro? /oh that's right

I hope we allow him to be extradited to Venezuela some day for theft.

I bet US had something to do with it and I'm not sorry, it would happen naturally in due time anyway.

We need to fly Bernie and AOC as "humanitarian aids" and drop them over Venezuela with parachute and body cams. It would be f***ing hilarious to see how many minutes before Bernie melts down and pledges loyalty to capitalism.

I wonder if solar storms had anything to do with it.

Their infrastructure is in such horrible condition along with rampant theft, it wouldn't take much for it to catastrophically fail even without outside sabotage.

Russians wanted to put nukes in Cuba. Why wouldn't they or perhaps a terrorist state like NK try the same thing here.

I'm wondering if that is something you do shortly before dropping the bombs, ie get your people out. I'm not saying that is a good idea or is going to happen, but that is the first fhing I think of.

Venezuela in Complete Societal Collapse; Widespread Looting, Armed People attacking neighbors to get food . . ."We're Going to Start EATING EACH OTHER!"

Had dinner with a few friends when a portion of them decided to chime in on prepping and how foolish it is. Articles like this, I just laugh and smile thinking of when they come my way because they know a small portion of my capabilities. Open socialists in our government now. As close as we've ever been. Newest budget in the trillions. If there is another depression around election time, people will be looking for a seriously radical solution.. Scary.

 

[not new guy]

Poor bastards.

 

[mibro]

Poor bastards.

Starving in a world overflowing with food. The genius of socialism.

The USA could have fed the whole Venezuelan population if they didn't have a retarded bartender bus driver at the wheel.

They’ll blame Trump.

They’ll blame Trump.

They already did.

Wow that guy is still around? I thought he got busted way back for telling his listeners to murder some judges.

Sheesh, boy, good thing they all turned in their guns.

The use of "Apocalyptic" is nice, considering it's origin.

It originally meant, "Revelation, to uncover."

So, what we're seeing is the revelation of how that sort of government plays out.
