Shit is going down, basically, and what people are telling you to do to your posts about it is what the government is forcing people to do there. There is a massive shut down on freedom of speech and even a media blackout to prevent large scale awareness of the situation; as of now the only way for the country to tell people what is happening is via the internet, and that might not last forever, which is why I want to keep people aware of the situation. Hundreds of people are peacefully protesting every day and being brutally assaulted and killed on the streets as a consequence. It’s dreadful, and not something we should stay silent about. If you go into the Venezuela tag be warned that there is a lot of blood and violence, but it’s because this is real and wrong and people must know about it. This is really happening, and this really needs to be stopped.
I’m from Venezuela, and today is the Biggest march of the oposition and we fear that many will die today because if it, The media isn’t really showing anything to the exterior of the country-if you live outside of venezuela than go to social medias with #pryforvenezuela or #sosvenezuela- at the moment there is no violence, it is a peacefull protest on the opositions,our side however it will probably turn violent as soon as the police and military furces get involved. The goverment will try to hide and cover it up and recently I’ve herd that there have been some popular bloggers form here killed for reporting and spreding the truth of the situation. So yeah this needs to be stopped and thats what were trying to do, curently our presidents is a uneducated,busdriver who never graduated from High School and is pretty much taking Venezuela to hell quicker than it was going, we kinda need all the help we can get.

Okay I’m going to cut in on this one because it’s not as helpful as it seems. Quite the contrary, it’s full of inaccuracies that dismerit the movement.
First off:
The media isn’t really showing anything to the exterior of the country-if you live outside of venezuela than go to social medias with #pryforvenezuela or #sosvenezuela
#pray
SECOND:
at the moment there is no violence, it is a peacefull protest on the opositions,our side however it will probably turn violent as soon as the police and military furces get involved.
NO.
Our side will not and does not need to turn violent. That’s the point. If you were listening to Leopoldo Lopez today you heard him: on the streets, yes, but peacefully. The other side can do whatever it wants (and has for all its worth).
Here are some posts about it:

NOBODY CARES WHAT MADURO’S BACKGROUND IS. Busdriver or neurosurgeon or TRAINED IN CUBA FOR COMMUNIST IDEOLOGY— Oh wait that latter one is true.

No. The problem is what the Maduro regime and the Chavez regime has done.
- Human Right Violations
- Having the national guard assault students
- Homophobia from congressmen AND Maduro
- Food shortages and rationing
- Wild inflation
- Expropriation of private property

This is not hard to research, or hard to write. But don’t pollute the flow of information.
reblogging again for corrections; I can only reblog what I’m being given, and I really want to help, not hurt. I know I am grossly uninformed at the moment, but the more people contribute like this the more I can learn and the more I can help. So thank you very much for this assistance, and I deeply apologize if I was ‘polluting the flow of information’, I only want to help there to be a flow of information.
