A humanitarian crisis, the likes of which have never been seen in the Western Hemisphere, is brewing in Venezuela and it will be inevitable in a few weeks.

Much has been written recently about the crisis in Venezuela. During the last week, the world’s leading media outlets have amply reported the shortages of food, medicine and other basic supplies in the country. Unfortunately, despite some great reporting by various journalists, the true extent and the reasons for the country’s desperate situation have not yet been clearly understood by the media and the international community.

The majority of those reporting on Venezuela still believe the current crisis has been caused by the collapse in the oil price.

The number of ships bringing imports at the main docks is up a little, but still way behind last year at this time. The people of that country are going to hardly notice the increase in imports because they are so far behind. Now with the government CLAPs taking control of food distribution to "regime supporters" you can imagine that all of those who signed the recall petition will be denied.

Oh and the government has put up a new roadblock to the petition, the government forced a new time to allow people to withdraw their names. very very few did, and then a new roadblock now the people who signed have to go and confirm that they still want to be on it but the system to do this is so stupid that most of them won't be able to if they wanted to.
