DNYZ: Venezuela’s Capital is Booming. Is This the End of the Revolution?
CARACAS, Venezuela — Swaying to the D.J. and sipping cocktails on the open terrace of a mountain side bar, a party of private-school teenagers in Prada sneakers and Chanel bags looked down over the shantytowns of Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, spread over the valley below.
On the poorer outskirts of the city, residents continue to struggle with water shortages and malnutrition. And in the countryside beyond, Venezuela is falling apart, with residents lacking even the most basic services, like electricity and the police.
But the wealthier areas dotting the capital have undergone a striking economic boom in recent months.
Shopping malls that were deserted six months ago are bustling, and imported SUVs course through the streets. New restaurants and bars are popping up weekly in the wealthier parts of town, their tables packed with foreign businessmen, fashionable locals and government insiders.

WNU Editor: Life is still very hard for almost 90% of the country.
Life is great in L. A. and NYC too if you got big bucks. And I mean really big bucks. Otherwise they’re both third world shitholes.
ReplyDeleteI would take exception to Russ's characterization of LA, but I have not been there in a decade. The part I know is Santa Monica Boulevard.
ReplyDeleteWas there shit on the street?. There was a one-off between 2 buildings just off the boulevard. There were 2 bums sleeping in dirt-caked or shit-stained jeans at the edge of the cliff about 2 blocks from the farmers market and just across the street from BOA steakhouse.
That is part of the upper-scale of LA metro.
Without the money from Russia and China this would be impossible.

ReplyDeleteAgreed Jac. International opportunists. Found across the globe.
A friend from way back used to have a saying that says it all; "Too much is never enough."
"Give it 5 or 10 years and the Clinton, Biden, Kerry, Sanders and other brats will be partying hardy down in Caracas."

Danny Glover and many other Democrats in good standing wen to Venezuela since 1998 and told us how good socialism was.

ReplyDelete"Sam Jauhari is of Lebanese-Venezuelan descent and is a citizen of the United States, Venezuela, and Lebanon, but lives in Kuwait, where he met his wife, a Kuwaiti citizen. Sheik Rahbani is a Saudi citizen, married to an American citizen and former model, Kate Rahbani.
This duo has their hands in everything from building U.S. bases in Iraq to contracting to unfreeze Libyan assets around the world. They have given to many of the top Democrats, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Eliot Engel, Howard Berman and numerous state Democrat parties. "
Afterall we already know that Rahbani gave over $800,000 to Obama’s inaugural committee even though he is not an American citizen.
ReplyDelete..... and now, the rest of the story.

And Bob still doesn't get it.
ReplyDeleteIt appears as if you failed to get it. Note the reference to support to both Democrats and Republicans.
ReplyDeleteI saw McCain and Graham there.
ReplyDeleteMcCain is gone. He was called a RINO and the shoe fit. We do not have to primary him Thank God!
Graham and McCain got some money, but most of it went to the Democrats (I know, fractions were not your thing in grade school or high school). Those 2 got money to try to cover all bases. Lindsey was not in a position to make budget allocations like Obama and Biden. Funny how the Biden clan got money for building houses, an industry they knew very little about.
And the bit about what Obama got?
ReplyDeleteBob being oblique and mysterious, cuz the loser has no case.
ReplyDeleteRead the news more & with more comprehension and memory. One day you might actually break 70 IQ (or better) Bob.
