AP/AFP picked up news that Maduro is going to Beijing for a loan agreement.

I'm planning on writing a Useful Notes page for Nicolas Maduro.

Is hard, because I absolutely despise the man... and because he is low on the fictional radar.

If you don't think you'll be able to write it without descending into vitriol (not that I blame you), it might be best not to do it. And yeah, if there isn't much media with him in it, that's another reason to hold off on making the page.

Is funny how Chavez had more appearances in fiction.

[up] Is not weird. Chavez a lot more of a Big Ham personality and his name was synonimous with Venezuela and Socialism for a entire decade.

A PLA hospital ship has arrived and Maduro made deals with Beijing to ship oil to them.

Picked up AFP/AP and Reuters.

The Trump administration sanctioned Nicolas Maduro's wife and other top Venezuelan officials.

Juan Pablo Guanipa, the guy who ran for governor and won in the last Zulia elections but lost the place because of the reds being insane fascists was detained by government agents. He was released recently and he said something about speaking to Venezuelans later. Geez, it still makes me sick to the bone how the reds act like fascists scumbags.

Say... is there anything you tell yourselves when you're tired of keeping up with day to day life? When you know that everything is only going to keep getting worse in the foreseeable future?

Because I'm tired.

Today there were protests everywhere in the country from the workers and the opposition. It was nice to see people still willing to fight and I hope this keeps heating up, but knowing our opposition I still feel cynical.

Several mines of Bolívar have been taken over by the Colombian guerrilla. It's shameful watching our military fall so low, I remember my dad fought hard against that same guerrilla back in his days.

Many Venezuelan families lost their home because of the floods in Vargas.

So you guys probably heard about Angelina Jolie being around Latin America and talking about the Venezuelan crisis right? Diosdado Cabello said that she is in fact a CIA agent and she is lying. LMAO the socialist seeking to scapegoat the CIA never gets old.

Also, I heard Maria Corina was badly beat up by the socialists. I hope she gets better and damn the reds for hurting a girl.

New to the conversation here, would like to hear more from anyone more in the know (must be anyone else in this thread, really).

Maybe not a suprise that the pro-Chavez, pro-Maduro Venezuelanalysis references pro-Iran Press-TV accusing US sanctions. "Maybe".

Also, some pro-communist articles about land struggles seem to be somewhat critical of the government:

Venezuelan Communists: "Government Not Responding to Workers' & Campesinos' Demands"

Venezuela: Communist Campesino Leaders Assassinated as Land Struggles Continue

Also, long-time Chavez opponent is dead. Venezuelanalysis just can't resist taking a dig at him (that's how it reads to me). This has also been reported by Washington Post and New York Times.

Well, students in Caracas marched today because It's the day in which the students started a strike against Marcos Perez Jimenez. It got attacked badly by the PNB, as expected. The opposition said something about presenting alternatives on November 23, but I'm fairly skeptical about it. Let's still hope they justify their existence for once...
