As of today in caracas we had a huge rally, huge enough to not been attacked in biggest moments, but sadly attacked the groups of people that were going to their homes

As of today, was reported dead another girl shoted directly in the face with pellets, now 2 dead in Valencia (capital of Carabobo state), the previous was a miss tourism with a shot in the head by a 9mm.

A man was caught by the Guardia Naciona, here in Caracas, was founded yesterday badly wounded, as for now he is brain dead, he is called Alejandro Márquez.

On friday in Carabobo was captured by the citizens, a Guardia nacional (internal affair armed forces), it resulted to be a cuban (I have already mentioned in previous posts, armed forces is controlled by cubans brought by Chavez, as the Venezuelans rebelled on him before in 2002). As only some media by internet is not completely blocked (Tv, radio, internet media only a few newspaper remain... in fact no more than 5 between national and regional newspapers are are fully censored).

As stated in the link by LionelHutz (thanks), the city of San Cristobal was completely internet-blocked, there were reports of times when it was restored and down again, it has been like tha for the last weeks in most of the country. A lot of military forces where sent there (San Cristobal), even a battalion of paratroopers.

CNN reportes got revoked their working permits and compelled to leave. Patricia janiot a well known journalist from CNN en Español, was harassed by the military in the airport.

here is agood article about media blockage and so http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/02...

Thanks to all for the support.

    Oh, I definitely support this. And of course, they would need to take dear leader with them so that he could speechify them! LOL

    This isn't the first time for this sort of thing. Remember when the Shaw of Iran came here when he was sick? When the Iatola Cockameme took over thousands of Iranian students didn't dare go back because they were contaminated by ideas from America. I've always wondered how that worked out for them in the long run.

    I had a friend, Alan, who hailed form Venezuela prior to Hugo Chavez. He was in college in America when the country turned. He was denied reentry into the country because of his fathers politics. His fathers ancestral lands were taken from him and all of his bank accounts were seized by the communists. Thankfully, my friend was able to live off the savings his father placed in his name in US banks until he graduated. I lost ouch with him years ago but have thought of him regularly ever since. No people should be subject to what the animals, called communists, are doing. My heart goes out to the brave freedom loving people of Venezuela and I hope my friend and his family finally regain that which is theirs. I am ashamed of our media that they have chosen to ignore this civil war - to protect a communist agenda our leader no doubts envies.
