Well, that's a relief!
Who wants to overthrow the legitimately elected president are the 5 eyes. Only. Just as they did in Ukraine. 5 eyes is what the world has latest in terms of Nazi-fascism.

With a clear majority, I'm sure the outgoing caretaker of the country will do his usual best, to assist his ideological successor.
Maduro is still president, Brasileiro.

What a glowing example of democracy......a country that must deploy the military for elections! A democracy where the opposition is either jailed or ends up dead. I wonder how many voters will be slain on election day trying to exercise the most basic of rights in a democracy at the hands of the VDC (Venezuelan drug cartel), aka the Venezuelan Army.

Dec 01st, 2015 - 03:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You ever heard of free elections ? if Maduro's candidates lose the election on Sunday, it'll be due to the democratic exercise of freedom and respect for the Law, something you don't believe in, you dirty fucking petista 'n filthy communist piece of shit.
While we're on the subject of cancer, seems that Lula's is developing nicely in the region of his toad throat....shouldn't be long now !!
@10 Captain
The reason the Military will be deployed in such large numbers, is to ensure that every voter will have the “right” to be accompanied to the voting booth with a soldier...if he votes against Maduro, he'll be shot on the spot, for subversion.
I can't help it. It just seems so bizarre to me... Having some high ranking military-related official make the statement, as shown in the caption below the defense minister. The “speculation and rumors” must be very common concerning the possibility of coup, etc.

Best wishes to all.
It is the C21st yet the Military has to pre-empt/deny that there will be a Coup!

Venezuela's under an organized crime already installed and currently led by a socialist pile of stink diarrhea, commonly recognized as Maduro Skunk.
Needless to say, under either system, the inequalities of income and standard of living are greater than anything possible under a free economy, and a man’s position is determined, not by his productive ability and achievement, but certainly by political pull and force.
In resume, communism and socialism have by all means acquired their own best sibling well known in today's world as fascism.
Is it a coincidence that Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino is pointing at the place (see photo) where Maduro might be shot?

Best wishes to everyone...
