I don't want the US to intervene, I want this situation solved internally.
The cunts saying this is provoked by the US have no idea of the issues the country has under 15 years of "revolution" and the biggest oil bonanza.
The country is in shambles, there are food shortages, one of the highest inflations in the world, one of the highest murder rates in the world. Currency controls, people have a fixed amount of dollars they can buy per year, I think it's 300 dollars for internet purchases and 2000 dollars for travel expenses.
This is complete insanity, go spent a couple of weeks in Caracas to see what those guys have done. Stop blaming the US for everything what's wrong in the world.
But I don't want the US to go there and solve our own problems.

When I left Venezuela in 2003 you could buy 1 USD with 1300 bolivares.
Today using the parallel rate (black market) you need 88000 bolivares to buy 1 fucking dollar.
Given the amount of dollars that the nation has received these past years with the oil at over 100 dollars the barrel it's inconceivable that the economy is in the state of wreck it currently is.
Minimum monthly wage right now using the parallel dollar rate is 42 fucking dollars.

^ that's crazy indeed, using the lowest official dollar rate that is, which is 6.30 BsF per dollar.
The black market dollar is at 188 BsF, if you divide the price by this one the price becomes reasonable and more adjusted to reality. But then again Venezuela goes against reality.

Another student was shot dead today in Venezuela while students were passively street protesting:
Captured by some people at an office. Although in spanish, I think they're reaction transcends any language barrier.

Venezuela: Shunned by the Left?
http://zcomm.org/znetarticle/ven…... Of course they don’t explicitly say Venezuela equals North Korea – but they do say about Venezuela what they say about North Korea – there are no significant political lessons to be learned so there is no reason to investigate, learn, etc. They seem to think that if there is some valid criticism of Venezuela – and I suspect few of them have as many criticisms as I do – then their dismissive stance is warranted. Yet that is obviously ridiculous. Criticisms don’t warrant dismissal, but evaluation.
- Venezuela has been spending shitloads of money lobbying and supporting media outlets abroadernexbcn

The government likes to keep that twilight zone dollar of 6.30 around so they can brag that venezuelans have the highest salary of South America, when it's bullshit. No one can buy dollars at that rate.
Minimum wage is currently 5622 BsF, if you divide that by the bullshit 6.30 dollar that would be 892 USD.
BUT, if you convert it to the real world, using the black market rate, the "highest salary in south America turns out to be 30 fucking dollars.
That's the current state of affairs.
