Although the people are weak and tired, browbeaten by the Regime I believe, as one past great man once said;
“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. ”

Let us all hope this is the end of 'chavismo', for equally there is a great evil to fight in order to save the people of Venezuela.

Forget puppet Maduro, Diosdado Cabello is the real power. Watch him.

It is unquestionably the case that Venezuela is a 'rogue state'. The question is do the people of Venezuela want to be saved? The Libyan civil war began on 15 February 2011 when 'the people' had finally had enough. It took until 19 March before military intervention began. Venezuelans may have to fight alone for as much as a month. But when the free people of the west get started, MADurine will be gone in hours. We can imagine US paratroops dropping across Caracas. US Marines storming ashore. US aircraft carriers off the coast. US submarines launching cruise missiles. Marine Abrams tanks, Apache gunships. The US believes in saturation. No doubt Canada will take part. If you want freedom, you have to fight for it!

Some Venezuelans have already shown their are prepared to die for freedom and democracy. What we can do is support those people as much as we can in the name of democracy. If the military had a few coupled brain cells.......their yellow flashing light would be in overdrive and they should act asap......before someone in this small world steps in.
