Venezuela's next plan for food shortages.

Postby coppernickel » Mon Aug 15, 2016 9:56 pm

Venezuela has made the news again this week for yet another low in the history of what anyone would classify as a failed state. Government Decree 9855, issued by President Nicolás Maduro under his broad emergency powers, allows for any Venezuelan to be forcibly relocated to agricultural labor camps in order to combat widespread food shortages.

Silver Monometalism is the most permanent and stable form of money the world has seen. Natural law and history prove silver value is best multiplied by gold and best divided by copper. It is only in this counterfeit currency time when the natural law appears suspended.

13 year low in oil production, with May and June '16 looking like this: http://www.tradingeconomics.com/venezue ... production

This tells me two things; one if this continues oil prices will climb (some?) and looks like all the earmarks of a failed nation state being birthed.

What I found interesting about this was that as best I could find out they didnt first ask for volunteers. I mean seriously, wouldnt that be step 1 in such a crisis? Apparently not when you have a dictatorship.

We're I a dictatorship, I'm sure I'd have a list of those that would be first to go. This might include agitators, reporters, protesters, etc.. Then include those that are just annoying like the homeless, teen vandals, Cholitos (baby gangsters), etc.. Clean up the Barrio and bars with chain Gangs. Then the volunteers.

Don't want you as "dictator" - you know too much!
