Venezuela .... hardly in the news


The riots and killings are continuing but why are we not seeing anything much?  Sad to say, IMO, it's the Venezuelans themselves who are to blame for the lack of news. Most of their tweets from Venezuelans are in Spanish ... as if the whole world should learn their language to understand what's happening there.  English, English please dear Venezuelans.  Learn to speak, write and propagandize in English if you want our attention.  Even the Arabs flood twitter with English tweets and you guys can't?    This is the single biggest problem with the Latino communities.  Even after decades into their migration or invasion into the USA, they keep chattering in their Spanish holla holla shit  instead of learning the universal language  ...  English.

The below is  the little I found to show what's happening there.  The vid below is from Vice and is from Feb. 28.  Venezuela has also received the short end of the stick because of the possibility of the  WW3 situation developing in Ukraine.  Sad !



Ian Bremmer writing at Reuters:
....Presidents beleaguered by mass protests seem to use the same phrasebook. After protests turned exceptionally violent in Ukraine, the security agency waged an “anti-terrorist operation” in retaliation. Within days, President Yanukovich’s support had crumbled, he had fled, and the “radical forces” he disparaged had seized power. In Venezuela, President Maduro has dubbed the billowing unrest a spree of “fascism” aiming to “eliminate” him; he urged the opposition to halt its acts of “terrorism.”

But Venezuela is no Ukraine, and it’s unlikely that Nicolas Maduro will soon suffer Yanukovich’s fate. Here’s why.

Things have not been going well for President Maduro, with massive protests stemming from a steady rise in economic turmoil, crime and inflation. A weak opposition initially made progress through electoral channels: former presidential candidate Henrique Capriles came within 1.5 percent of beating Maduro during last year’s semi-rigged election.............

NewYorkTimes tried to keep a daily log for Venezuela, but soon gave up. 
If the people under the commie rule are not ingenious enough to somehow get their messages  out to friends outside Venezuela, even if there's a media blackout in their own country... what can you expect your well-wishers to do?
