Retired General Calls on Venezuelans to Form Local Resistance Units: “Get Ready to Use your Firearms

Retired General Calls on Venezuelans to Form Local Resistance Units: “Get Ready to Use your Firearms”
By Rachael Boothroyd

Caracas, February 9th 2015 (Venezuelanalysis.com) Retired Venezuelan military General, Angel Vivas, has released a string of videos on Youtube calling on Venezuelans to form “local resistance units” against the government and to prepare themselves for a war “to the death”

The videos have been tweeted by both General Vivas and the anti-government group, “Operation Liberty Venezuela,” and are accompanied by the hashtag #RAV (Resistencia Anti-Castro Comunista Venezuela or Anti-Castro Communist Resistance Venezuela, in English), reportedly founded on December 15th 2014. One of the videos has over 137,000 views.

“Today we are going to show you how to defend yourself, your family, your house and your community,” states Vivas from in front of a large portrait of Venezuelan liberation hero, Simon Bolivar

The retired General made headlines last year when he called on violent anti-government protestors to hang barbed wire from lampposts in order to decapitate supporters of the government during the armed street blockades known as the barricades, which erupted in February 2014. At least two people died this way and another 42 citizens were killed during the unrest

I find it hard to believe America has no hand, anymore, in what goes on down there.
