The Game Changed in Venezuela Last Night – and the International Media Is Asleep At the Switch
http://caracaschronicles.com/2014/02/20/the-game-changed/
Throughout last night, panicked people told their stories of state-sponsored paramilitaries on motorcycles roaming middle class neighborhoods, shooting at people and storming into apartment buildings, shooting at anyone who seemed like he might be protesting.
People continue to be arrested merely for protesting, and a long established local Human Rights NGO makes an urgent plea for an investigation into widespread reports of torture of detainees. There are now dozens of serious human right abuses: National Guardsmen shooting tear gas canisters directly into residential buildings. We have videos of soldiers shooting civilians on the street.
And that’s just what came out in real time, over Twitter and YouTube, before any real investigation is carried out. Online media is next, a city of 645,000 inhabitants has been taken off the internet amid mounting repression, and this blog itself has been the object of a Facebook “block” campaign.
This is not new, but I have put it here to start off this new forum section and initiate discussion. The Jewish media is concerned only with whatever news suits their immediate agenda. They become obsessed with particular topics at any given time. The mainstream media is sort of like a Jewish group anxiety orgy.
