These individuals, when alive, remained neutral at a time of great moral decision. Virgil explains to Dante that these souls cannot enter either Heaven or Hell because they did not choose one side or another. They are therefore worse than the greatest sinners in Hell because they are repugnant to both God and Satan alike. The Rowley Administration has carried Trinidad and Tobago into this darkest place of Hell with the neutrality regarding the economic and humanitarian crisis.<br /><br />The exodus of migrants from Venezuela is building towards a “crisis moment” comparable to the European refugee crisis of 2015, the UN has warned. Thousands of people flee the country every day, traveling by bus or sometimes by foot along migration routes across South America. They flee an economic collapse that has left food and basic medicine scarce while armed gangs rob and kill without consequence.<br /><br />The Rowley Administration chose to close its eyes to the waves of Venezuelan refugees streaming into Trinidad and Tobago daily, and to international reports on human rights violations, media infringements, the economic collapse and the erosion of democracy in the Venezuela over that past years. Trinidad is only eleven (11) kilometres off the coast of north-eastern Venezuela while Tobago is located thirty five (35 km) northeast of the mainland of Trinidad. Yet the indifference to the human suffering in Venezuela is apparent in the Rowley Administration.<br /><br />This indifference carried to the extreme by the Rowley Administration virtually ignores that there is even a crisis existing in Venezuela. This is most acutely evidenced today when Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro and Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Keith Rowley signed a deal where Trinidad will purchase gas from Venezuela’s Dragon Field. With this singular act the Rowley Administration has shown that it is willing to do business with anyone for the correct price.<br /><br />Human Rights Watch told Latin American governments in 2017 to apply strong pressure on the Maduro administration to address severe shortages of medicine and food in Venezuela that are causing Venezuelans to leave the country. Brazil, Equador and Columbia are countries that are grappling to deal with the migration of Venezuelans refugees. This week, Ecuador and Peru said those without valid passports would be denied entry, in a move affecting hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans who were previously allowed to cross the border with paper ID cards instead.<br /><br />The Rowley Administration closes its eyes for thirty pieces of silver. Venezuela refugees meet an indifferent Trinidad and Tobago Government, compared to when Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley in 2017 proposed that the country open its doors and waive immigration restrictions so that Dominicans left homeless in the wake of Hurricane Maria can find shelter in T&T. As a nation the Rowley Administration has vacuumed the soul of Trinidad and Tobago by dealing with the Muduro regime.Devhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524821551322751762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-16023461356122031772018-08-22T21:58:18.412+02:002018-08-22T21:58:18.412+02:00Thanks, yeah I read that after posting.

The problem is that you need someone to believe this tale. I think it is much more likely that the Petro will have to be heavily discounted against the US$ or Euro before someone actually will venture to acquire it and those who do, will do it to pay their employees the half Petro promised which will be worth much less than advertised. Only then, the people will realise they been duped.

What a ...Great to get another post from you Daniel.<br />What a sad situation. It is amazing how the regime was able to manipulate people and the system to the point where the country is well on its way to be like a modern day Cuba. Soon to have a bogus digital currency such that it will no longer need to print money it can just magically create endless Petros. As it drives out millions of Venezuelans it will soon have only Fatherland Card holders left. Having too many military involved to prosperly rule they are now manipulating them and thinning out those until they will be done to a manageable number that a profitable drug regime can prosper. From their they will license out oil production for royalty and live in wealth at the peoples expense.<br />I think it was clear long ago that the people needed to put their lives on the line and all out revolt but those days have past.<br />Canadian Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392005954549946976noreply@blogger.com
