Good news! Maduro says he has captured the cuprits of Guri "red handed"!

Captured in flagrancy subjects trying to sabotage Guri's communications system
By: VTV Press | Monday, 03/11/2019 10:59 PM

translated from Spanish

March 11, 2019 - The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, reported that some subjects were caught in flagrante delicto when they tried to commit new attacks at the Simón Bolívar Hydroelectric Power Plant.

"We captured two individuals trying to sabotage El Guri's communication system. (...) I ask that the Venezuelan justice go for the intellectual authors of this gigantic damage that they have done to our people," he said.

The National President asserted that with these actions perpetrated by the empire's orders, there have been serious violations of the human rights of the Venezuelan people, for which he claimed justice.

"Venezuela is perhaps the first country in the world that has been a victim of US technology for cyber attack against an electrical system," he said.

In addition, he said that the attack was generated in three ways:

* Cybernetics, in the brain of El Guri reservoir and in Caracas.

* Electromagnetic, with which the recovery achieved was knocked down.

* Physical, with the burning of substations and electrical stations.

The dignitary expressed his admiration for the gallantry and courage with which the Venezuelan people have faced this situation.

In addition he praised the patience and the capacity of understanding demonstrated in the last days by the citizenship.

Clearly the Chavistas are on the ball! In flagrante delicto! Because when The Uneducated Bus Driver uses Latin, you KNOW he means business. I would wager that they caught these to fellows not only with their hands in the cookie jar, but with all the documentation needed to prove they did it. Including notarized copies of the work orders signed by Duque, Bolso and Trump! And their car (Colombia license plates) filled with C4 and drones and anti-tank rifles!!!

Its just a matter of time though, that they will be unguarded, and because they are filled with guilt and remorse, will FLING THEMSELVES OUT OF AN OPEN 10 STORY WINDOW TO THEIR DEATHS! I hate it when that happens at SEBIN HQ.

that did it.

So, it isn't a stretch to believe in sabotage meant to destabilize the country.

Either some don’t know US history in Latin America (highly unlikely), or, don’t care (it’s support for a coup).

Seems Chavismo's biggest cheerleaders are anonymous internet trolls. Even his biggest fans in-country are calling him out on his parade of lies.

makes it hard for me to care about criticisms of Maduro's competence, or about internal corruption.

True humanitarians don't need to stage elaborate stunts where the aid that they are bringing in is set on on fire.

If Maduro is so bad, why are such stunts needed, and why should anyone trust an opposition who is doing that?

...........Molotov cocktails at Venezulean security forces who wouldn't allow the goods into the country. Let it in and this wouldn't be a topic of discussion today. Or, is it your position that there's no hunger or lack of medicines here in Venezuela?

I don't want to see a military intervention nor more bloodshed. Having said that, Maduro has to go.

The US border stunt was designed to provoke. It was a reality show.

Turns out its all bluster.

I'm waiting to see pictures of Maduro off-loading lorries of medical supplies at a Caracas hospital.

I know... if it hasn't been reported by crack "investigative journalists" Max Blumenthal or Greg Palast, its "fake news!"

Perhaps the kindly Elliott Abrams can help Venezuela. You know, like he helped Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua.

Maduro says lots of shit, then never delivers.

A couple weeks ago, it was "7 tons of supplies from Russia... " until Putin said there was nothing coming and Maduro ought to worry more about his debts to Russia.
