They're getting bolder and less fearful of repercussions for telling the truth about what they really want to do.

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

The mask slipped off long before now, people just keep putting blinders on.
History is repeating itself, replace the word oligarch with the word Jew in the article and I think you'll get the picture.

Now to be fair they had/have some truly awful "oligarchs" (Not sure I even like using that word) that treated people pretty much as slaves. But as has been proven time and time again every time we have one of those "socialist" revolutions the old set of oligarchs are merely replaced with a new and "improved" set of socialist oligarchs and the slaves get some fancy new slogans on tee-shirts.

This is my shocked face. Really.  =|

The only thing missing from his explanation was a quote of admiration for how Stalin handled the kulak problem...

And to think there are people out there that think we have evolved beyond those things.   :rofl:  Then they don't get their way and regress very quickly.

Tried to backtrack, but didn't go very far.

“It now seems clear that whatever advances were made under Chávez, the regime is now locking up members of the opposition, targeting journalists and violent protests are ongoing which are unacceptable.
As I remember it, Chavez DID target journalists.  I thought he took over the main news outlet in the capitol.

Venezuela has also tried to directly blame the jooz. I think many saw the future and left.
