Dear fellows, the title of this article is intended to alert what happens in a real crisis. Criminals have been released in Venezuela and given guns to shoot the demonstrators who are protesting against Maduro.
This is another localized end-of-days event that is incredibly dangerous.
The criminals that conform the band inside the government Cuban-infiltrated and controlled “institutions” have opened the doors of Hell itself. (Anyone who has seen footage of what happens inside the Venezuelan jails will understand).
They released the inmates and sent them to fight the demonstrators.
They let the inmates out, gave uniforms and weapons to fight against the demonstrators. This is happening, and there are proofs of that published in the web by the infamous Varela, prison “minister”.
Over 25 murdered persons, and over 100 injured, all of them by gunshots. I am not going to turn this article in a politic debate. Far from that.
I would love to make sure you understand that this happens.
The possibilities of it happening perhaps are low, but the consequences of such event are extremely high once it occurs.
Of course, in the USA there are far more possibilities for the common homesteader to survive an inmates’ attack if such threat someday knocks at their door. Thank the Lord for that, people!
But there is something I feel the need to enhance. The gangs are getting organized progressively on time. Their tactics have become more and more specialized. Even in Venezuela, where common criminals were not as tactically prepared as in some other countries, the degree of organization has been increasing, and that, my fellows is alarming.
Occupying territories, setting up safe houses, instructing their members in weapon usage, using the shoot-and-run tactics…all of this is part of the new semi-organized crime. And it has to be deleted off the face of Earth.
Don’t EVER underestimate the intelligence of such criminals.
This could be a fatal mistake.
What is happening meanwhile I am typing for you, is that there are criminal gangsters roaming on the Chinese small motorcycles that I have mentioned enough before, with the guy in the backseat armed, in numbers of 20 or 30, shooting to the civilians protesting for the negative of the usurpation mafia to let the medical supplies and food to enter. Last time I checked, the police themselves had burned down 3 semi-trucks containing a part of the donations.
There are guys dressed in civilian clothes, with radios, bullet-proof vests, and AR-15s OTAN weapons without ANY identification. Completely against our laws and regulations. Roaming free, with the power to shoot civilians if they feel like doing so.
We don’t know who they are, where they are from, but we do know what their directives are. They are going to kill as many people as they need, and stay for as long as they need until the last persons protesting end up staining the asphalt with their blood.
This is what they mean when they talk of “Peace”. That is their version of peace. Submission. Subjugation. Humiliation. Anyone raising their heads and rebelling will be shot.
This is hard to assimilate, I know, but this is what is happening. There is no other way, but to fight our way inside our country again, even if this is done with borrowed weapons.
There are other ways inmates could get out of prison.
There is a real risk of inmates getting out jail in a crisis. Whether they are willfully released and armed or whether they make their escape, the possibility is of concern. If this is a major or minor issue in your location is up to you.
What should you do if you live near a prison?
But it should be a major concern for anyone being located at a tank car of a distance of any prison of any size.
My suggestion?
Given the severity of the attacks of the roaming bands against unarmed people in the frontiers of Venezuela, the best approach, in any instance, would be using modern technology, such as drones to keep good surveillance of the surroundings.
Deterrent systems at the outside perimeter of our main homestead, three kinds of barriers, that sort of stuff. It would be nice to grow a lot of thorn bushes, very thick, around our place. If someone tries to get through, the only way would be with a large enough vehicle that would send clouds of dust visible hundreds of meters away and noise. Another way would be setting them on fire, not very smart if you want to attack with the surprise advantage. Some good caliber rounds, well positioned, and the threat could be mitigated unless the vehicle is well armored. And there are cheap and civilian-friendly solutions even for that, though.
Check the modern drones that have a nice cargo capacity. Investing in some DIY kits is a great idea. Or even better, to use that wonderful ingenuity that some preppers have to manufacture…big boys toys, so to speak.
You get the picture, right? If a gang armed to the teeth is prepared to receive some resistance, it is unlikely that they will be able to expect some threat from above, instead of some face-to-face shooting. However, this resource, as useful as it is, has to be used with the most caution possible. Being fragile and expensive, therefore not so easy to replace, will be a con. Used wisely, very effective. There are lots of inexpensive alternatives…but I believe it´s much better to keep that for myself.
It is not a secret that the roots of our crisis are entirely artificial; man-made.
We did not have the needed means to defend against a totalitarian dictatorship such as the one that was slowly implemented. In our country, the gun culture is not as extended as in other parts of the world.
Hopefully, that is going to change in the future.
Good people HAVE to be armed. Criminals must be shot. It is a simple equation.
And I dare to tell this, after almost killing someone with my SUV in an armed robbery attempt. Had my car not been strong and big, able to get over a tree in the middle of a desert road at 120 km/h, my family and I would have been murdered. No doubt about it. If you look for some information about El Picure and Los Malditos del tren de Aragua Gang and have some patience, you will have a good overview of how criminals can reign in a large area. Just like Oaxaca.
Had I been armed and able to shoot back, that road would have been much safer for quite some time.
The situation in the border has had me with my soul hanging on a thread, to be honest. I’ve been the entire week with an eye glued to my screen watching everything.
I can be proud of something: this scenario is exactly what we have been prepping for since 2007. General turmoil, lack of services, even internet and cellphones, inability to leave the house for buying food, and food scarcity.
However, our estimations were way too low. This lasted for years instead of the 6 months that was our planned strategy. That was the main reason we had to leave.
My thoughts on US intervention
Daisy says she’s against the US intervening, and I agree with her in 85%.
The political toll is high, given our former relationships between both of our countries, and I would not like the world opinion getting into the mess to stir up the anti-US sentiment, once the words and ACTIONS of your leaders have been noble and completely friendly with our population (And I mean Pres. Trump with the deceased Oscar Perez’s mother sharing the podium).
The remaining reasons for me not being 100% agree is that there are other components that will be very dangerous for the entire continent, and can’t be contained with our Armed Forces kidnapped, and being the national shame that is at this moment; and most of our political sphere favoring the spreading of those extremely dangerous groups.
There is a strong relationship with world terrorist groups that make our inmates look like school kids that need some spanking corrective action.
I mean Hamas, and Hezbollah, and all flavors of the Colombian guerrilla. THESE guys are BAD. They truly hate the West. They have been fighting to impose their communist agenda for decades now.
They are roaming free in Venezuela in our southern States, the richest in minerals and resources, and the worst shootings have been in these small cities nearby the mines.
How many of them will be trying to pass through your southern border within the next 3 years with fake Mexican passports now that there is a commie like Lopez Obrador in the chair?
Why do you think that the first thing Cuban intelligence did was to get their filthy paws in our national ID system? It was corrupted, sure, but they TOOK OVER IT. They needed to issue passports for their agents. They had agreements to provide Venezuelan passports to terrorists from the Middle East, arriving through the frontier with Brazil.
Why do you think that El Aissami, the man responsible for this direct threat, is now in Russia?
Thank you.
Thanks to all the people that have made possible for me to assist my family.
I would love to hear your comments about this (preferably if comments are respectful, polite, It’s much better if we avoid the political issue and talk about prepping), as I am sure something is still out to explain about what exactly is happening there.
Blessings for everyone, people.
Freedom is around the corner.
About Jose
Jose is an upper middle class professional. He is a former worker of the oil state company with a Bachelor’s degree from one of the best national Universities. He has a small 4 members family, plus two cats and a dog. An old but in good shape SUV, a good 150 square meters house in a nice neighborhood, in a small but (formerly) prosperous city with two middle size malls. Jose is a prepper and shares his eyewitness accounts and survival stories from the collapse of his beloved Venezuela. Thanks to your help Jose has gotten his family out of Venezuela. They are currently setting up a new life in another country. paypal.me/JoseM151
Jose given the International Red Cross has filed a formal complaint against the US Government for abusing the Red Cross symbol in a Media-Political stunt and that independent reporters documented the vehicles were set afire Before the Venezuelan troops reached them I fear a wag the dog operation to allow an American “Intervention” in Venezuela.
Given the lousy record of American “Interventions” turning a bad situation into a WORSE situation (Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq) I fear our protection of an ocean protecting us from our actions is gone. The really BAD Terrorists you mentioned can be simply bussed up and walk across our oddly unprotected boarder as “refugees”.
Buckle up friends, between the Democrats refusing to secure our southern boarder (While recently PAYING for Israel’s boarder walls in the bill they forced President Trump to sign) and the barrage of “Gun Control” laws to force our police to disarm law abiding citizens we are about to see Venezuela 2.0 Socialism Deep State Edition right here in the “Land of the Free”. Jose was prepped for trouble. He reasonably thought his 6 months was a good plan. As Jose shared with us it’s been YEARS of trouble and it’s getting worse as systems fail and the corruption of government fails to yield to the needs of it’s citizens.
Pray for wisdom, stay as grey as you can and don’t get in front of an angry mob.
This is HORRIBLE! Praying for the people of Venezuela.
Thank you for your viewpoint on this issue. I wonder where I would go if I had to leave the US.
In the gulags of the old Soviet empire, most of the ordinary prisoners were kept in line by the “blatnye”, thieves, rapists, murderers…. cutthroats of every description. This sounds exactly like that: a communist government using vicious criminals to stomp on ordinary people who just want their lives back.
And make no mistake, this is a communist government. They espouse socialism, and when it inevitably does not work, they use force and terror to “make” it work. I saw something on social media over a year ago, don’t know who said it, but here is what they said:
Liberalism is horse shit dipped in a promise of chocolate
Socialism is when they admit there never was any chocolate
Communism is when they use machine guns to make people eat it anyway
PS I agree, the US should not intervene in any sort of direct military assault, it will just make things worse. What we should be doing is providing aid and assistance to all Venezuelans who just want their country back, just as we did in the eastern bloc during the last years of the Cold War.. And for this, I give praise to this site for giving a voice to one such Venezuelan, J.G. Martinez. No one should have to battle against tyranny and bullying alone and afraid. Mr. Martinez, you are not alone!
Awesome post with implications for anyone living in North America.
Thanks, Jose.
Sounds like propaganda….
It’s not. This is happening.
Thank you for sharing your unique experience. As someone raised in the US, it is hard to imagine the hardships going on in your country. It is clear that Maruro’s reign must end.
We have to remember that Bernezualians voted for this initially. Now the Suck has come home to roost. In our own country we have agents of evil in The Party(D) such as AOC, Bernie and Omar who would make us as Bernezualia.
Don’t give up your weapons and be ever vigilant.
Dear Jose,
Thank you sir, for your honesty and courage! I read your letters with such a heavy heart. Truly unfathomable, to believe all this is going!?. Sending you and your family, many prayers and blessings. May God have mercy on us all! ????????
The leading cause of Venezuela’s economic misery is U.S sanctions put in place to punish Venezuela for having the audacity to attempt to retain the profits of resource extraction for Venezuelans and not U.S. corporations.
The second major cause is the deep incompetence of Venezuela’s leaders.
Mr. Martinez is spouting unsubstantiated propaganda, and low quality propaganda at that.
I write what we are going through.
The reasons for disqualifying me are know just by yourself, and attacking me as labeling me as a propaganda agent casts shadows on yourself. Not on me.
They are not incompetent at all, they are part of that international crime organization called world left.
Interesting story, I wouldn’t agree with the other comment that its cheap propaganda. We should be open to all opinions regardless of political stance. Venezuelan socialism is unique to Venezuela, its not the same as mainstream western socialism or typical communism (like in Cuba). This is why Venezuela has been attacked by the west and why Cuba is impotent in defending their allies because Venezuela wont sell their resources to transnational groups who would otherwise make the local populace sick, destitute and destroy their environment – far worse than not being able to buy toilet paper at the supermarket! Venezuela’s natural resources should not be wasted. Even if Maduro is not the most spiffy economist at least he wont waste their resources at the snap of a finger! Let Venezuela develop and distribute their resources according to their model at their pace. Venezuela’s enemies are the Lima Group and every western political, people-hating hypocrite. Viva Chavez!
Democraps aka Communist want people helpless so they can have power over them and keep them as slaves.
Part of this is DISARMING the population and why the communist Democraps here want Americans disarmed or make it extremely difficult to obtain a weapon. We can see this with socialist Western countries (communist soft) with Europe, Canada, Australia, etc.
This must NEVER happen to America or the communist will take over the ENTIRE world. We are their last stopping point on their trip to ENSLAVE the world.
One key strategy in surviving the coming civil war, SHTF, turd world war is to be HIGHLY ARMED. Cannot stress this enough because the criminals certainly will be.
Just another example of the greedy US wanting to stage a political coup because they want Venezuela’s oil. When Chavez was alive he made the oil state run and spread the profits to all the people. And the people lived well. Of course American and international oil companies didn’t like not being able to rape the country for their own profit. So American sanctions and interventions have created the mess the country is in now. What right do we have constantly intervening in sovereign nations. We say we don’t want to be the police to the world, but we sure seem to want to be the boss of everything profitable to big corporations.
I am sorry but I will STRONGLY disagree.
1. The USA had all the oil they could need, and we were screwed because OUR own greedy politicians stealing MOST of the revenues, and the population just enjoyed a small fraction of it.
2. The mess started WAY BEFORE the sanctions, once the bus driver decided to force a food rationing scheme to keep in power for eternity, giving the corrupted military elite the control of oil and gas production, minerals, food, cement, iron, aluminum and all you can imagine, making sure this way that they won’t tie him like a hog and submitting to the USA or the United Nations.
3. Chavez instated policies to increase his popularity, but he did not built a self sustainable platform, neither a justice system where justice could be truly served. He threw away OUR money in agreements that did not had any benefit for us as a country. He needed support of some parasitic Caribbean Islands, so to speak.
