gov't announces the bullet that killed Carmona (the beauty queen from carabobo) came from her own side. This is how level of accountability the gov't uses for everything wrong. 'Not our fault. deal with it"

For those who read spanish the comments section is a good read.

I just stopped by home to grab some food / supplys and take it out to the students in the streets.
The internet service has been intermitent, uploading videos its a pain.
Last night was horrible, no offcials numbers on deads, people reporting several missing.
Goberment sending army forces to Tachira state, internet and power service is shutdown there.
Twitter and some broadcasting apps have been very usefull on spreading info and getting people organized.
Some parts of the capital city remain very calm the whole day, but at night things go wild with the armed groups causing caos and army forces protecting them.
They shooting at buildings, crushing down doors and getting into civil properties.
I will be back later tonite.

I'm reading reports now that the people have captured a cuban citizen wearing national guard uniform, they are trying to get international media to cover this.

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

and cuba has their military and secret police infiltrated into the high rankings of the armed forces. Groups of armed gangs that were trained by the FARC and gov't roam the cities free intimidating the public.

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.

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.

IRAK → OIL → MONTAGE → WAR.
VENEZUELA → OIL → MONTAGE → WAR.

Im arriving home, its 12:45.
Tonite 2 ppl died in the street, shotted by the National Army forces.
not just the capital city is protesting, most country is.
President said in National TV. that the "tupamaros" (civilians armed group) are working for the nation. by the time Maduro was saying this, those groups went all around the city shotting at buildings and setting things on fire.
if u get caught in the street with a camera you get arrested.
if you are out in the street past 8:00 p.m you can get shooted w/o advice.
Im a graphic dsgn teacher. 2 of my student are under arrest and 1 is missing, their families are desperated. Police are asking for 5k USA $ to set em free. (yes USA $)
Everyone here is trying to support the protesters, wich are mostly students.
Im trying to do everything I can, but things are rough.sorry my english, and the random words. Im tired and frustrated.
