The U.S.A. has no need of oil from Venezuela, and Venezuela has no other product needed by the United States.

If there's no reaction to the sentence they will feel they have a freer hand to increase repression. It's the Castro playbook. <br /><br />To counter this move the obvious answer is to stop working. But we already know that Venezuelan workers who do work are busy bees.

You are right. They don't care anymore about public opinion, they have reached a point of no return, they are relying on the corrupt military and judiciary to stay in power. <br /><br />You seem to forget that much of the incredibly ignorant, uneducated, and highly corrupt or at least Complicit "pueblo" still loves Chavez. Over 60%. 28% still supports the Maduro regime. There are about 5 Million enchufados on the Chavista payroll. <br /><br />It will probably take more misery in 2016 and a bloody popular coup of some sorts, some lower military will have to rise with massive popular support, and the shit will hit the fan. That's when Leopoldo would be liberated and become president, if Kleptozuela gets lucky.

Which should have been obvious by now. It may have hoped to spark protest to further crush any opposition. Does it matter what the world thinks? Like Cuba, North Korea or any other dictatorship that has complete fake elections and is obvious to the world, what does the world do about it? Absolutely nothing. Lets say come December 6 Maduro and clan hold an election and announce they got 100% of the vote. The rest of the world does nothing other then some tweets and some headlines. The only way to stop the gov't is to get people to rebel to the point where the military will not kill family and friends and turns on the dictatorship. To this point we know the only people with the balls to do that in Venezuela are the students and without the active support of their parents it will go no where. I have seen no sign that the middle age to older generations in Venezuela has the fight in them. They are like beaten dogs only taking more from their masters.Canadian looking inhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060240194591839197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-80896321050705848642015-09-13T01:02:13.720+02:002015-09-13T01:02:13.720+02:00The rumor is that judge Barreiros just got a consu...The rumor is that judge Barreiros just got a consul post in Chile.

I thought Capo Cabello would order a "casa-por-prision" deal, with the option to incarcerate him again. That would have looked great Internationally, like there's a "democracy" and some "justice" in Kleptozuela, perfect for the next elections fraud (55% "victory" for the the MUD..).<br /><br />Not much he could do from home, anyway, with a set of tough restrictions, look at Ceballos and Ledezma: gone. Then, if things get tough, back to jail with any excuse, blame any unrest or guarimba in him and crucify him.<br /><br />They obvioulsy used this whole Circus as a Tour de Force, as propaganda for the Regime's totalitarian power. To instill fear on everyone, and to that extend they must have had some success. Look at what they did to the Afiuni judge, the entire Tribunal de Injusticia is now under control, same as the military after the Januray 2014 big shake-up. Terrorizados, comprados, todos corruptos.<br /><br />The only way now is even more repression, Estado de Excepcion General. Full-throttle military control, but you know how they do it, poco a poco, Boiling Frog style.<br /><br />Leopoldo is calling for peace, but he won't get out without some major revolt and blood in the streets. The Criminal Thugs in power are not going away with a kiss, not going away like a much more civilized Perez Jimenez did, saying "Yo no mato Cadetes". <br /><br />No, the shit is really gonna hit the fan once things get even worse in 2016 after the next laughable "elections". Caracazo style. <br /><br /><br /><br />Sledgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10963609943524453700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-58960016048082389262015-09-12T06:12:19.494+02:002015-09-12T06:12:19.494+02:00Daniel,

Not only is Leopoldo going to eventually be able to use this farce to his advantage, but when IDIOTS like Samper come out saying that UNASUR is confident due process was followed in this case and that LL can take advantage of further judicial instances, the rest of the world can see that all UNASUR does is parrot the official line of the thugs of Latin America.<br /><br />However, counting on a MUD dominated Assembly with the necessary votes to swing 3/5ths or 2/3rds is quite risky.<br /><br />Even though I advocate voting in these conditions, if the MUD turns out like for the last elections then those 3/5ths or 2/3rds ain't gonna happen, even if MUD candidates get the highest vote totals in general.<br /><br />The level of apathy/line standing/etc. in Venezuela is enormous. Lilian Tintori called for a protest this Saturday, and this will be the litmus test. If a huge turnout happens, then we have a chance. With a mediocre turnout I'm afraid it's going to take blood to wash this regime away.<br /><br />And that may be the worst possible outcome of all.<br /><br />RobertoNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
