How Deep, Señor Maduro?

The Maduro regime is showing an alarming willingness to violently attack opposition leaders, and it’s moving in on high-profile ones who had previously seemed untouchable. They’ve already jailed politician Leopoldo Lopez and driven many others into exile. But the regime’s people have stepped up the thuggery to higher levels since then. They tortured to death a city councilman who was then flung off a ten-story building earlier this month. And they encircled and beat up leading opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, likely signaling intent to kill.

  1. To the leftists from Rio to the ends of the earth:

    This is why Bolsonaro won the presidency.

    Because the rest of us have decided that if the New Rules get someone killed, better it be you than us.

    Kindly convey this message to your bosses from Beijing to Bay Street. They need to start making the hard decision of whether they care to fight a war they are guaranteed to lose. We look forward to meeting them on the battlefield.

    While they do that, consider how badly you care to be the last to die defending them.

  2. To what the Democrat Party USA is slowly transitioning to. Verbally at this point. Hey Waters and Holder, talking to you.

  3. Remember the leading figures of the Canadian NDP think Venezuela is a great example of successful socialism.

    a social justice warrior once told me ” to make an omelette you have to break a few eggs.” I told him “human beings are not eggs”

    1. You should have punched his lights out right then & told him after “I just made an omelette, in your style. Want some pan fries with that?”

    2. Well! I declare! I’m going to tell Sean Penn, Danny Glover and Joe Kennedy on you!
      ( this wouldn’t of happen if Saint Hugo was still alive. )

  4. Once the civil war starts Machado and her group will be labelled ‘far right’. Push back violence will be attributed to ‘sectarianism’ and ‘anti-Chavistas’.

  5. take a look how entrenched the mao cult is. thru and thru, repleat with the huge Tienanmen square mug shot.
    leftists will always be around as long as there are rightists and free enterprisers generating wealth to steal.

    when that ends it’s just a question who grabs the leftovers and then it ALL goes in the shitter,
    aka ‘welcome to the end times’.

  6. The only way anyone ever really learns, is through suffering. If you actually want to help Venezuelans, don’t try to protect them from the consequences of their own bad decisions.

    If you do that you are enabling, not helping.

    1. Only fools learn from their mistakes. The wise learn from the mistakes of others.

      I agree—if Venezuelan savages must starve so civilized Brazilians can eat tonight, so be it.

  7. I miss Mark Weisbrot’s submissions to The Guardian defending the Bolivarian Revolution, now become the Bolivarian Diaspora.

    I wonder if Weisbrot has trouble sleeping at night. Probably not. He never showed any intelligence or conscience when he was writing for The Guardian. I doubt that he’s developed such things since.

  8. It is what socialists, communists, fascists and other assorted ‘its do.
    Next is the show trials and judicial killing.
    Have happened before and will happen again.

    The way the Canadian ‘ists are going it may take another 10-15 years though it will happen.
    One can understand that you will not believe such a horrible thing can.
    Those that lived through it in the middle of 20th century could not believe either.
    It happened.
    Good luck to the coming generations.
    There is a way to avoid it, though free stuff is a magnet that few even here are able to resist.
    It’s like manna.
    Watch.

    1. You say it better then I could. I fear for my children and grandchildren that they will suffer what my grandparents did.

  9. Oh yeah,socialism working just as designed.
    Venezuelan Zip guns,.. for there are no restraints on the fools,thugs and bandits.
    They have to get theirs and anyone who gets in the way will be destroyed.
    These kind of people respect only force,only their death will deter their stealing,destroying and killing.

    Funny how “socialism” always attracts them.

  10. generation after generation forgetting that which previous generations created. there comes a time when the only thing that can save you is the elimination of those who want to enslave you for your own good.
