I don't have much faith that the "Republic" will be restored; there are so many forces against a restoration and it continues to march forward.... And there is not enough will via the citizens as they are quickly being replaced. Many are awake, but not enough. It is a harsh reality, but I base this opinion on something that happened back in the late 70's. It is like Deja vu. I see the wheels of socialism being put in place.
In the 70's a friend went to Venezuela on a mission trip and came back with a bride to be. They attended our church and we, as a group, met socially. The Venezuelan bride told us stories of many military men becoming political rivals and talk of it was showing up more and more on TV, in the papers and amoung social groups.
To me they were just stories since at my young age I could not comprehend such a world of fear and hardships.
She said that the citizens were deeply family oriented like us and a good and sweet people, and many of means were already leaving the country.
She stated that in Caracas they were seeing very high inflation and an economy that was upside down. Said her parents were eating every other day, so that the children could eat every day. Her stories tore at my heart and made a deep impression.
She said families were being harassed for what they believed politically and the government was taking from the people by removing ownership of businesses and taking it for themselves, i.e. nationalizing them. Clinics, medicine, oil, gas, electric, food, social programs for equality; nothing was being spared. She said in the beginning it was a good thing, but within a few years it was corrupted and made the people helpless and dependent on government.
She described how the newspapers and TV were being manipulated and shut down so no one knew what was happening.
Slowly as the government became more corrupt, so did the people. The murder rate skyrocketed, mostly due to hunger, and all other crimes when unpunished.
Does this sound familiar? Our economy, the press, crime, corrupt government, persecution of political rivals, a war on oil and gas?
I kept up with this married couple over the years and as we all know things became much worse for Venezuela and remains Marxist to this day. Did the people fight back? IDK. The bride removed her parents out of the country in the nick of time. Why the US does not cover this Marxist government is a mystery, but I see it as a blueprint for what is happening in America. Will the people fight back? More and more men are being hunted down for attending Jan 6. Most linger in prison with no medical and slop for food. You tell me.
