    Venezuela Crisis: UN Says Security Forces Killed Hundreds

    22 June 2018
    Venezuelan security forces have carried out hundreds of arbitrary killings under the guise of fighting crime, the UN's human rights body says.
    In a report, it cites "shocking" accounts of young men being killed during operations, often in poor districts, over the past three years.
    Venezuela has in the past dismissed human rights allegations as "lies".
    ~Snip~
    The UN Human Rights Office alleges that extra-judicial killings were carried out by officers involved with the Operations for the Liberation of the People, ostensibly a crime-reduction initiative.
    These officers may have killed more than 500 people since July 2015 as a way to showcase crime-reduction results, it says. They are alleged to have faked evidence to make it look as though the victims died in exchanges of fire.
    UN investigators have been denied access to Venezuela. They made their findings from interviews with about 150 witnesses and victims contacted through "internet-based technologies", the report says.
    A number of interview with exiles were also held in Geneva, it adds. Some of the other evidence comes from former Attorney General Luisa Ortega. She was fired by Mr Maduro last year and went into exile.

    Meanwhile starvation, inflation, slavery government violence have become the norm within the country....
    Should this surprise anyone when tyrants in the guise of concerned Progressive Democracy become Dictators controlling everything including business and distribution of food?
    Chavez banned civilian firearms in total edict on Gun Confiscation June 1, 2012. There is a natural outgrowth of that happening and the consequences.
    The people of Venezuela are now totally defenseless. The claim that up to 500 people is not true. Meanwhile Progressive Democrats in America continue their attack on gun owners of America. But we all remember the ammo hoarding and the “domestic police force equal to the army” talk. You would have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to see the aims of the Left.
    There's no doubt that Obama had the same hopes for the citizens of this country. Remember his proclamation that his election was the beginning of the "Fundamental Transformation of America" along with his statements claiming that redistribution of America's wealth was his aim. How could anyone forget the wealth he distributed to the Unions while cutting the investors in the GM buy out.
    The UN Human Rights Commission now chaired by a Syrian will undoubtedly white-wash this whole thing and nothing will be done.

    Sorry but these things which seem bad are necessary to build socialism in Venezuela. Full speed on a socialist offensive on all fronts! We must make the young into a generation of hardened Communists! What is old and bourgeois must be mercilessly swept away! Onward the Revolution!!!

    ~~~~~~
    Surely that is what most Marxist Socialists believe. Castro killed thousands in Cuba after his 1959 takeover and it the 1970's Bill Ayers was quoted as saying that at least 25 million Americans would have to be murdered if his attempt to succeed was successful. We can only imagine how many Venezuelans have been murdered so far under Chavez and Maduro. Just as Pol Pot did.
    In the end that is exactly why Progressive Marxist Socialists in America continue to try to pass guns laws to eventually disarm America and Americans.

    The UN is a substantially greater threat than Venezuela.

    Socialism has destroyed yet another society.

    Venezuela's filthy-rich oil-looting elites about to get their comeuppance

    Party's over for Venezuela's ravenously greedy socialist oil elites with a big money laundering bust in Miami and the threat of more to follow. Score another one for President Trump.

    LATE-STAGE SOCIALISM: Hyperinflation is affecting how Venezuelans have sex. “One of the drivers for extreme inflation is soaring demand – in Venezuela there are far more people trying to buy goods from shops than there are goods out on the shelves.”

    That’s shrinking supply, not soaring demand. But never mind that for the moment:

    “In Venezuela, some people are using old-fashioned ways to avoid getting pregnant and when I said old-fashioned ways, it’s like the withdrawal method or the rhythm method, which is tracking your menstrual history to predict when you’ll ovulate.”

    With this has come a rise in unplanned pregnancies, STDs and HIV, she adds.

    Because contraceptive pills have become so expensive, there has been a spike in the number of women taking more permanent measures to ensure they don’t have any more children.

    Zuniga spoke to a clinic in Caracas which sterilised 400 women in 2017: it reached that number by May this year. On so-called ‘sterilisation days’ run by local health programmes, the appointments for 40 free sterilisations per day have been snapped up, with waiting lists of up to 500 women.

    “Before, the women that were sterilised in Venezuela were more than 30 [years old] and with more than three children,” Zuniga says. “Now you can find women [aged] around 19, 20, 24 that are looking to be sterilised because they can’t afford to have another [child], because they can’t find pills on the market anymore and it’s just desperation, they are desperate.”​

    I had been assured by the highest authority that socialist sex was the best sex.
