March 2019: I walked the streets of Caracas. I didn't see the 'crisis' in Caracas MSM lied about
I spent several weeks in Caracas, Venezuela, in 2019, at a time when the US was attempting to create chaos in the country (by sabotaging the electricity grid), and Western media was reporting there was chaos. There wasn′t chaos, I saw Venezuelans helping one another during the period of power outages. I also saw tremendous displays of support for their government, including up in the hills of one of the largest, poorest, barrios. I filmed these scenes on March 15, 2019. My objective in filming is not to say there is no poverty in Venezuela, nor to imply there is no hunger or shortages anywhere. However, when corporate media is flat out saying shelves are empty all over Caracas and the city is in crisis, well this is false. The scenes I'm seeing are much like I saw in 2010 when I lived here 6 months. I know there are differences since then and now, of course, but there isn't the pandemonium MSM is attempting to claim is happening here. Also, this is not a wealthy area of Caracas, its perhaps lower middle class. I'll film the wealthy areas where typically opposition live in coming days. Further, in the days since filming this, power has fully returned to Caracas and most of Venezuela, metro is running, things are as they were before the power cuts. I have had the opportunity to visit organized communities growing massive amounts of produce, also breeding rabbits (apparently a high source of protein)...and also one of the cities urban garden initiatives. I'll upload more on that when time allows, but for now, day 1, no "crisis", but people were dealing with the effects of the nation wide power outage, one believed most likely due to US acts of sabotage on the electricity grid. [Later note: I've been to the poorest barrio, riding on the back of a motorcycle up into the hills, seeing the communities there and interacting with locals who also maintained there is no "crisis": https://vkvideo.ru/video-231569228_456239025] Articles related to that: http://misionverdad.com/MV-IN-ENGLISH/venezuela-under-attack-7-notes-on-electric-shock-special-report https://consortiumnews.com/2019/03/12/us-regime-change-blueprint-proposed-venezuelan-electricity-blackouts-as-watershed-event/ Related: https://ingaza.wordpress.com/2019/03/31/us-is-manufacturing-a-crisis-in-venezuela-so-that-there-is-chaos-and-needed-intervention/ https://ingaza.wordpress.com/2019/03/25/march-16-demonstration-of-solidarity-with-venezuelan-government-and-against-imperialism/ https://ingaza.wordpress.com/2019/03/25/president-maduro-the-venezuelan-people-do-not-want-violence-or-foreign-military-intervention/ https://ingaza.wordpress.com/2019/04/04/venezuelans-calmly-helped-one-another-during-manufactured-electricity-crisis/
