The inept regime persists in ignoring the drama that Venezuelans
are living. This is causing waves of violence from people waiting in long lines
for hours to purchase chicken and other basic products?
In July, there were more than a dozen cases of looting
trucks that were transporting milk, chicken, and other products. The Government
has created a state of instability and desperation that people have taken it
upon themselves to steal what ever they can without regards to reprisals.
The use of starvation has been the tactic of other
dictators throughout history. The most recent case is the Bashar Al-Assad in
Syria. He controls the distribution of food and other necessities and has
created chaos, causing a Civil War that claimed more than 200,000 lives.
In North Korea dictator Kim Jong II kept the country poor and desperately
hungry for two decades. u The tragedy continued after his death with his son Kim in the
90’s, killing millions, and continues today under the
ruthless and inexperienced Kim Jung-un.
In the Soviet Union Joseph Stating used similar tactics in the Ukraine, creating
famine to destroy an estimated 7,000,000 people.
Nicolas Maduro is going that same route in Venezuela today. People are desperate and the government insists
on blaming the Opposition and everyone else except themselves. It makes you
wonder if this chaos is not orchestrated by the regime to keep people so
preoccupied with finding food while the regime perpetuates it’s grip on the
country.
