It's a blog but I'm not seeing any other single English-language source with so many pictures and video of what's going on in Venezuela today.

[img]The media is downplaying, and in most cases ignoring, the extreme nature of the crisis currently going on in socialist Venezuela under the Maduro regime. Most of the cries for help are from people begging the international media to cover their plight.

Some of the video and photography are stunning as millions of people take to the streets to protest a collapsing economy and food shortages while being met with tanks, guns and rogue militias hired by the government.

Some of the targeted citizens appear chosen at random. Some of the citizens are also desperate and fighting back. Warning – These images are graphic and the video feeds are also alarming. However, the media are barely reporting on any of this, and unfortunately, it looks like things are getting worse:[/img]

Go to the link for the rest, it's too much crap to try and format it for CKA.

Also, feel free to post more or better links as they develop.

What's going on down there with armed Maduro militias murdering civilians is why you NEVER, NEVER, EVER give up your guns to your government! Once you're disarmed you're at their mercy.

Holy shit, that's sad!

Protesters being shot, teargas . . . and no matter who wins, everyone loses.

Hopefully the government falls quickly.

And then I hope Maduro dies a lingering and painful death.

:cry: Beautiful country, Venezuela.

I was in Colombia last month and if Venezuela is anything like Colombia then you are absolutely right.

The Guardian had some good picture and video too:

And yeah, the scale of the people protesting is staggering and inspiring. But Maduro would appear to be indifferent at best to the protests. The real change will have to come ever more at the ballot box.

A fair election, I doubt it.

Concur. The last election gave Maduro 75% support and looking at the crowds in the streets right now I sincerely doubt that that many people so quickly changed their minds about him.

Meaning that the last election was rigged and any new election held by this regime will be rigged as well.

He's working under the Robert Mugabe theory. Nobody'll notice you're dictator for life if you hold rigged elections.
