Vote As If Your Toilet Paper Depended On It

Stolen entire from MOTUS A. D.

A pre-midterm reminder of how socialism actually works, compliments of Venezuela. It didn’t happen overnight but just as Reagan warned, it did happen in one generation.

History will repeat itself if it’s ignored.

VENEZUELA: how one of the richest nations on Earth collapsed in one generation

1992: Venezuela is the 3rd richest country in the Western Hemisphere, powered by oil and a growing middle class.

1997: Venezuelans become the 2nd largest buyers of Ford F-150s—a sign of widespread prosperity.

1998: Hugo Chávez is elected, promising to “redistribute wealth” and fix inequality.

2001: The country votes again for socialism, framed as compassion and fairness.

2003: The government imposes price controls and currency controls. Black markets appear. Shortages begin.

2004: Private healthcare is fully socialized.

2006: Inflation rises sharply as massive welfare programs expand without real economic backing.

2007: All education becomes “free.”

2008: Key industries—oil services, steel, cement, telecom—are nationalized. Production drops almost immediately.

2009: Private gun ownership is banned.

2010: The currency is devalued by 50%, crushing savings and accelerating inflation.

2011: Oil production begins a steady decline due to mismanagement and lack of investment.

2012: American politicians, like Bernie Sanders, publicly praise Venezuela’s model.

2013: Chávez dies. Nicolás Maduro takes power and tightens state control.

2014: Opposition leaders are arrested or silenced.

2015: GDP collapses. Hyperinflation begins.

2016: Severe food and medical shortages spread nationwide.

2017: The constitution is suspended. Elections are no longer meaningful.

2018: Inflation exceeds 1,000,000%. Maduro “wins” a widely fraudulent election.

2019: Unarmed civilians are killed by their own government.

2020: More than 8 million people flee the country to escape hunger and repression.

2023: Minor economic improvements fail to relieve mass poverty.

2024: Disputed elections trigger protests and global isolation.

2026: Maduro is removed by force. Venezuela is liberated after decades of ruin.

History shows that you can only escape socialism by collapse, violence, or foreign intervention.

Ask yourself: if America falls to socialism who will come to save us? Vote accordingly.

Pacific Seafood Fire, Newport, Oregon

Pacific Seafood Fire, Newport, Oregon

Saw a news report about a fire at Pacific Seafood in Newport, Oregon. Niece and nephew are both deep in the commercial fishing business, so I went to take a virtual look.

Pacific Seafood, Newport, Oregon

Pacific Seafood is a big but not ginormous operation.

Ripley's Believe or Not, Newport, Oregon

Across the street we have this ginormous tree standing in front of Ripley's Believe or Not. You can see it on the left hand side of the top image.

Fishing Boats

Just down the street we have a fleet of fishing boats, as you would expect.

Google Maps Street View puts up icons which can distract from the the view. Move the mouse away (up or down off of the image and wait about ten seconds and the icons will disappear and you get a clear image.
