5 Things That Disappeared During the Collapse of Venezuela

5 Things That Disappeared During the Collapse of Venezuela:
"They say nothing lasts forever. 
But sometimes, I know there are situations that seem to be eternal, and that is how it has seemed during the collapse of Venezuela.

The agony of the Venezuelan induced crisis is about to produce an output. 
How this results, it will depend on how much external assistance is required.

Many things have disappeared as the military and government continue to control and subjugate the population.

• Self-Defense...
• Venezuelans do not have weaponry at home. The right to defend our own lives was seized in 2014 under threat of 25 years of jail for those who don´t give their guns...
• Money...
• Utilities...
• Food...
• Transportation... READ ALL!!

Leaving was the only option.

I think many of those with some military training reading this will agree with my comment about how military strategies are being used with our civilian population. 
The reasons are plenty. 
They have killed people. 
They know that the international justice is after them and it is just a matter of time before they have to run. 
They know they have endangered their very own families, in their blindness and immeasurable greed.

They try to cover and silence everyone who is opposed to their plans.

But finally, my family is here, and in good shape.
My younger son is under a normal weight for his size, he is happy, and that is what really matters. Thanks to all of those who have found useful our bitter experience and have contributed willingly with some very needed assistance.

It is a journey that I would not wish even to my worst enemy, indeed.

God bless us all, people.

Dave Rubin's Message To Liberal Professors: They'll Destroy You, Too | Daily Wire:

"So it makes sense that he's the latest addition to the upcoming film "No Safe Spaces." The Fall release, spearheaded by podcast king Adam Carolla and conservative talker Dennis Prager, reveals the war on free speech on college campuses nationwide. Right-of-center speakers are under physical assault for simply expressing an opposing point of view. Students call anyone who doesn't align with their progressive world view "racist," "Nazi" or worse."

WALSH: No, We Shouldn't Include Girls In Everything. Boys Need Space To Themselves. | Daily Wire

WALSH: No, We Shouldn't Include Girls In Everything. Boys Need Space To Themselves. | Daily Wire:

"It's fitting that the Girl Scouts are still the Girl Scouts while the Boy Scouts have changed their identity and now even their name to include girls. Girls can still have their own spaces and their own organizations in our culture. They are forced to allow boys into their locker rooms and bathrooms, which is insane and dangerous, but even in that case the boy has to pretend to be a girl in order to gain admittance.
Boys, on the other hand, are expected to include girls in everything. They are provided no area and no time to be boys, and do boy things, and be around other boys. We used to understand that boys need space apart from girls. Not anymore."

"REUEL MARC GERECHT: The Iran Deal Is Strategically and Morally Absurd. 
“It is less an arms-control agreement than cover for American inaction.”

With Iran, Obama certainly appeared to have a cause, something beyond just avoiding a fight. The Islamic Republic for Obama, and Secretary of State John Kerry, too, appeared to be a left-wing “realist” dream, offering a progressive version of Richard Nixon’s opening to Communist China. The many debilitating weaknesses of the JCPOA—for one thing, the strategic and moral absurdity of paying, via sanctions relief, for Iranian imperialism in the Middle East so we can have a short surcease to the mullahs’ quest for the bomb—stem directly from Obama’s paralyzing fear of war, as well as his aspiration for a Middle Eastern détente.

The suggestion that going to war with the clerical regime is too high a price to pay to stop the mullahs from acquiring nuclear weapons (which is what’s implied by defending the limited, temporary utility of the JCPOA) is downright odd...

The Untold Story of Government's Role in the Opioid Epidemic | RealClearHealth

The Untold Story of Government's Role in the Opioid Epidemic | RealClearHealth:
"...This is not just the case with government’s response to the American opioid abuse epidemic; it was also the case with the bad government policies that contributed to creating and worsening the crisis in previous years.
This history should make us wary of government’s increasingly heavy hand in health care.
...But it’s important for Americans to understand that the initial over-prescription of opioid drugs was no accident.
For one thing, the Veterans Health Administration was one of the earliest adopters of a pain management strategy called “Pain as the Fifth Vital Sign,” originally advocated by the American Pain Society."
...Doctors outside of the VHA system faced pressure from the government as well: The Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services included questions about pain management in patient satisfaction surveys that were linked to payment, encouraging a standard of patient-pleasing over good medicine. 
This — along with the example set by VHA policy — fostered a culture that encouraged health-care providers to offer pain-relieving prescriptions, popular with patients, without adequate regard for the potential long-term consequences. 
...Our public health crisis in opioid addiction is, in part, the sad result of government policies with good intentions but harmful consequences. 
This should be a powerful warning against enabling government to make sweeping decisions about our health going forward.

Fence-climbing illegal aliens cut in line as legal immigrants wait in obscurity | The Liberty Conservative:
"America’s most forgotten men and women may be the legal immigrants who acquire their visas, scale no barriers, and patiently await their Green Cards and citizenship ceremonies.
Amid the raging DACA debates, fugitive-city outrages, and this week’s Honduran-caravan epic at the San Diego/Tijuana border, these overlooked individuals ring America’s doorbell rather than pry open this country’s back entrance.
“I am stunned,” says Dr. Nayla Rush, Ph.D., a senior researcher with the Center for Immigration Studies.
She is staggered by the caravan members who waved Honduran flags atop America’s border fence. U.S. authorities arrested 29 of them for illegal entry.
...These people are marching in front of cameras, in front of the whole world,” Rush tells me.
“They demand to be admitted here. Where does this sense of entitlement come from?”..."

Study Confirms “Green” Hypocrisy | Power Line
"In a finding that surprises, probably, no one, a new survey shows that the more a person claims to be concerned about global warming, the less likely he is to behave in environmentally friendly ways:

Participants in a year-long study who doubted the scientific consensus on the issue “opposed policy solutions,” but at the same time, they “were most likely to report engaging in individual-level, pro-environmental behaviors,” writes a research team led by University of Michigan psychologist Michael Hall.

Conversely, those who expressed the greatest belief in, and concern about, the warming environment “were most supportive of government climate policies, but least likely to report individual-level actions.”

Liberals are hypocrites? Who knew! From the study itself:

The Democrats' favorite sport: Ruining people:

"Over the past twenty-six years, the virus that is the Clintons on the American body politic has metastasized into a virulent auto-immune disease.  They are a virus that seeks to utterly destroy what it sees as an enemy but may well end up demolishing itself, with devastating results.  With Trump's win, this virus amped up its attack on all things Trump: his supporters, his agenda, his family, his friends, and his Cabinet and staff.  So intent on getting and keeping power and massive amounts of ill gotten riches were they that the American people chose, once and for all, to reject Hillary and to inoculate themselves from further damage at the hands of the Clintons and their sycophants."

"Documents show years of failure to file required records, with no official approval to change the organization's declared purpose
...Hillary lost (again) because very few Americans embrace suspicious, over-the-top living financed by crony capitalist payoffs (“speeches”) and charity frauds.
The former are easy to spot, but the latter are tougher to grasp, unless you study the laws and regulations of charities.
Writing about the Clinton Foundation for The Atlantic in the October 2007 issue, Jonathan Rauch framed the obvious eight years ago in the title of his piece: “This Is Not Charity.”
Rauch was correct that in 2007 and in the years that presidents George W. Bush and Barack H. Obama were in the White House, the Clinton Foundation only expanded the scope and geographic extent of its unauthorized, uncontrolled, and illegal fundraising activities, all the while subsidizing the majestic lifestyles of political families with dynastic ambitions..."

Gun Owner Will Give Birth In Prison After Trying To Protect Daughter From Assailant | The Daily Sheeple

Gun Owner Will Give Birth In Prison After Trying To Protect Daughter From Assailant | The Daily Sheeple:
"Siwatu-Salama Ra is a 26-year-old mother who will give birth in prison after using a legally purchased handgun to scare off an assailant. 
Ra’s daughter was in the car when the neighbor began ramming it with her vehicle.
Ra was forced to watch in horror as the angry assailant (a neighbor with whom Ra had a dispute) deliberately crashed her vehicle into Ra’s car while Ra’s two-year-old daughter was playing inside.
Ra removed her unloaded, legally purchased a handgun from the glove box and brandished it, scaring the neighbor off.
But for that “crime,” Ra will give birth behind bars.
...Harvey then used her cell phone to take a picture of Ra holding the gun and raced off to the police station, where she filed a police report.
Ra also filed a report, but Detroit police consider the first person to file a report to be the victim in a dispute, even though, in this case, Harvey initiated the violence.
For her “crime” of not wanting her property rights violated and defending her vehicular property and her child’s life, Ra is behind bars and will give birth to a baby while in prison."

City: 'If something is not permitted it is prohibited.' | Intellectual Takeout:
"Should Americans have a right to garden in their own yards?
If you looked at this question, shook your head, and answered, “Of course! Why would we not?” then it would seem there is still some common sense left in the world.
Unfortunately, that common sense doesn’t always extend to the powers that be, and the citizens of Columbiana, Ohio, are learning that the hard way.
According to an article in the Salem News, the city government of Columbiana recently informed citizens that they don’t have a right to plant and maintain a garden in their own yards:
...The city had no laws pertaining to residential gardens, which means they were technically not allowed.
According to the city’s laws, if something is not permitted it is prohibited.
‘Right now, if there is not something expressly in this code that says that you can have one, you technically can’t,’ Blakeman confirmed.”..."

American University orders students to agree women can revoke consent after sex - The College Fix

American University orders students to agree women can revoke consent after sex - The College Fix: "It’s creating a culture on campus that it’s okay to re-write history’
If a man and a woman are both drunk and they have sex, the man is the rapist if the woman decides he is at some point, regardless of how she felt in the moment.
This is what American University is teaching students in a required sexual consent module, according to Red Alert Politics.
...Former AU student Sydney Jacobs said she was threatened with academic probation if she didn’t complete the training a year ago, and when she did, the module called her a “N00B” (gamer slang for “newbie”) because her answers were wrong:
“I was shocked,” said Jacobs.
“The program explicitly says they’re both too drunk to give consent but then says the man coerced the woman into a dangerous situation. The hypothetical specifically says neither gave consent but then says the woman can take certain steps towards legal options. It concludes the man likely committed sexual assault.” …
“Ultimately my problem with the whole thing is it’s creating a culture on campus that it’s okay to re-write history and rescind your consent when you’re not happy with the outcome. People are scared to hook up without facing repercussions that aren’t warranted.”
Jacobs is further incensed because the same training is used at public universities including the University of Florida and Kansas State University, meaning taxpayers are funding the message that “it is okay to rescind consent and then [the] man is always at fault.”..."
