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.

    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.

      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.

    Thank you for the news, Sender47. I would not have known even to look for this news had you not posted. I hope that freedom and justice are restored in Venezuela.

    Freedom is not what governments want for their slaves, I mean citizens. In order to be free, those powers must be destroyed. Your struggles in Venezuela have not received their due representation in the media (both because of local censorship, as well as political agendas abroad).

    I wish you strength in your struggle for liberty.

    "All is fair in love and war". This phrase isn´t a permit, merely a description of facts. And the truth about revolt is this, "no holds barred". For over two decades this country was suppressed by a regime that, so poorly organized, lost all efficiency when the head was removed. Chavez´s memory and will is not enough to keep a potentially very rich nation in place, especially when its citizens learn the truths kept quiet, the latent power revealed and the riches up for grabs. Oil in Venezuela is not only abundant, it´s strategic to many...both national and international. Venezuela is like an Arab country in the midst of America, I know this for a fact (I´ve been in the Middle East and in Caracas personnally). All nations are dictated, some more bluntly than others, but always under control of a few. Freedom is a drug, and in many cases the more freedom a citizen has the more of an illusion it really is. I´ve lived in the States as well, both DC and Chicago. I now live in Argentina, truly an incredible experience, both for it´s fatal stigmas and it´s wonderfull virtues. But the price on Venezuela is high, intervention is sought by it´s own citizens and, well...maybe even by others abroad as well, why not? How to decribe a revolt? Only with perspective, though rough facts are crucial in that sense. No matter how partial they may seem or what they may try to suggest.
