Venezuela's guarimba insurrection might be over, but here's an actual situation that has appeared: A drought. Laredoma has already reported on this.
The Venezuelan Minster of the Environment, Miguel Leonardo Rodriguez, reported on Satuday that the seventh major drought of the past 60 years is currently registered in Venezuela, who noted that this drought is manifested in three ways: Moderate, severe, and extreme , For it's geographical location, Venezuela does not have four seasons but a annual variation of climate characterized by two periods: dry season : which runs from November to April, and a rainy season :from May to October.
The rainy season is well marked by the intertropical convergence line (cloud cover).
However, dry-mentioned period remains in the country, especially in the northwest, where the main reservoirs which are located most of the Venezuelan population is supplied. Some of them have been affected, as Manuelote, Three Rivers, and Tulé in Zulia state.
"In Manuelote, we got historical rains have fallen in December, January, February, March, and practically no rain at all. This has prevented reservoirs from recovering. That makes reservoirs have dropped their level more than 10 meters" he explained, referring to a press release of a regional newspaper.
Given this scenario, this Sunday was made the General Staff Integral in Zulia state, directed to implement plans to tackle drought in the state, said Rodriguez, after a meeting in which the governor of Zulia, Francisco Arias Cárdenas was present.
This Staff shall consist of officials from the Ministry for the Environment, Hidrolago, the National Bolivarian Armed Forces, and mayors.
"This entity daily assess the level of reservoirs, will follow up on the situation, coordinate plans and responses," he said.
The Minister also urged people to join the campaign of rational use of water and meet so full supply plans that will remain until the rain period is established in the country and the reservoirs have levels recover low due to low rainfall. "The water always have to save it."
"We still are not in the presence of El Niño, which may be present in the second half of the year. Represent That drought, but has not yet been ordered but we have to prepare ourselves to this situation," he said.

Also, Venezuela Analysis has reported on the issue, which is more about preparing for a prolonged el nino related drought.
Caracas, 11th June 2014 (Venezuelanalysis.com) – It’s the rainy season in tropical Caracas. The weather service frequently predicts thunderstorms and the air is thick with humidity, yet the menacing clouds rarely produce more than a few drops. Venezuela’s The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources expects half the usual rainfall for the season and is planning accordingly.
In March of this year, at its VI World Forum on Water, the United Nations presented a study of drought in Latin America. The study concluded that excessive urbanization, globalization and climate change are responsible for leaving 800 million people in Latin America without access to safe drinking water and 2.5 million without access to bathroom facilities. In Venezuela, the percentage of people without access to potable water and toilets is comparatively small, in the single digits. Unlike those countries where water service is privatized and a source of profit, in Venezuela, water is provided and subsidized by a state-owned company. For 36% of Venezuela’s population, water is entirely free. For the rest, the cost of all utilities is subsidized and amounts to about 10% of the average worker’s pay.
UN Water Reports and newspaper headlines of raging forest fires and water rationing in California and catastrophic glacier melting in Peru all point to the ongoing ravages of climate change. Yet, corporate press in Venezuela and the U.S still blame the Venezuelan government for water scarcity. They lump water into the list of commodities whose appearance in supermarkets is erratic.
The incremental warming of the Pacific ocean caused by climate change has already caused devastating drought in some parts of the country. In Guárica the state-run electric company has scrambled to repair parched hydroelectrical transformers as soon as they break down. Yet, of the 54 needing repair, 13 remain to be fixed, resulting in frequent power outages.
------------------
It's clear that the Venezuelan Government has already preparing for a major drought. Despite the screaming and howling from the opposition media and it's blogger extension.

Guarimbas violate at least 14 constitutional articles and 7 criminal articles.
or Guarimbas and the Guarimberos are against Constitutional and Public Order
Venezuela is a country, unlike the United States, takes constitutional order very seriously. When they mean, very seriously, we don't mean we say this so we can just reassure them and then actually do nothing, we say this because have actively ensured constitutional order and guarantee constitutional rights over the past 15 years. Note the arrest last month of local public officials in Tachira State for being in contempt of a constitutional protection order from the TSJ's Constitutional branch. In addition, the Venezuelan government has taken swift action against public safety officials suspected of excessive force.

April 13, 2014 - As of February 12, after the call of the leader of the opposition political party Popular Will , Leopoldo López and former deputy of the National Assembly, Maria Corina Machado, to head out into the streets of the country against the Legitimate Government of the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, have perused constant attacks, assaults and violations of human rights under the Constitution.
From the right to free movement laid down in Article 50 of the Constitution, which states that "any person can move freely in any medium throughout the country" to the" inviolable" right to life enshrined in Article 43 are some of the offenses committed by right-wing sectors of Venezuelan, blinded by hate, irrationality and incited by opposition leaders.
However, the opinion matrix generated by some sectors and means of national and international media, seek to divert attention and focus on an erroneous view of the current situation, in terms of human rights concerns, discrediting the performance of the Venezuelan State to restore order and ensure the welfare and tranquility to the people, calling it a "crackdown on students."
For constitutional lawyer Jesús Silva , "these criminals operating in known guarimbas really can not be described as students ... but there are armed groups that can be classified as terrorists, mercenaries, paramilitaries that have been paid to promote-in 18 of the 335 municipalities existing in Venezuela-events of violence."
Citizens has been unable to persue their regular activities as a "consequence of this street terrorism, and guerrilla warfare in urban areas, which have a clear connection to the party Popular Will and leaders of the far right such as Leopoldo López and María Corina Machado ".
However, the Government is obliged to restore public order and protect the life and personal integrity and citizen , so that the deployment of the national security authorities has been rational and proportionate "to contain these criminals using guayas, explosive devices, Molotov cocktails, adapters and have attacked unarmed civilians treacherous and premeditated manner. Consequently, the activity of the Venezuelan State has been framed in the Constitution and laws; and if there were some violations of human rights as some opponents have denounced it, I think there are clear demonstrations of commitment to investigate and punish these isolated cases, which are by no means the general policy of the Venezuelan state practice. "
Violation of Human Rights
The professor at the Central University of Venezuela (UCV), Jesus Silva, confirms that the protests of the past two months have been a undemocratic and unconstitutional character that besides causing 39 deaths (as of 5/15/2014: 44 people have been killed in the insurrection) and 579 injuries have affected the right to education (Articles 102 and 103) right to work (Articles 87 and 89), the right to health (Article 83), right to recreation (Article 111), environmental law (127), among others.
But the main violation of these demonstrations of political violence is the violation of Article 2 of the Constitution : Venezuela is a democratic and social state of law and justice, which holds as superior values of its legal system and its performance, life, liberty, justice, equality, solidarity, democracy, social responsibility, and in general, the preeminence of human rights ethics and political pluralism.
According to Silva says "these acts of violence and terror seek to impose a new political order through force, intimidation, threat and harm innocent people. So the guarimberos and political leaders who are somehow entrenched democratic parties in what is said, but are organizations to commit a crime, we have to say they ignore the will of the people and know the importance of democracy and popular sovereignty contained in this Article 2 where voting is recognized as the primary mechanism to resolve our differences. "
Crimes against the environment
The cutting and burning of trees, arson mountains, national parks, forests and other, contains what is called a multiple offense, criminal environmental offense , which in the doctrine of international law, is known as fourth generation right within the group of human rights.
For Silva "no doubt that this radical violent opposition, this criminal stream is overthrowing the government has lashed so cowardly and treacherous to the ecosystem . And we trust that the Missions and other programs to restore the ecological order as the Tree Mission and other government initiatives will help repair the damage caused; and especially the rejection of society to these actions must be demonstrated conclusively to follow such cases no longer happening. "
Rule of Law
Silva believes that the State's commitment to human rights is widespread evidence, because the 1999 Constitution is unique in the history of the country where the fundamental rights of Venezuelans have never been suspended, contrary to the 1961 Constitution which guarantees were suspended at least 21 times.
"The rule of law that exists today in Venezuela there has been respect for human rights, particularly from the Bolivarian Constitution of 1999 (...) which guarantees freedom of people provided that they act within the framework of the Constitution and the law. While in the past, the State was practicing the doctrine of state terror, a policy of persecution, murder, forced disappearance of persons ... "he said.
He recalled that the guarantees established in Article 2 have remained intact, "having to do with political pluralism, freedom of association, freedom to choose and be chosen , i.e. a set of civil and political rights that have been sheltered in this new era of the Republic."

Now, note the actual amount of people arrested in Venezuela who are students: 40%. So the guarimbas is coming from hooded thugs and yobs who are actually being paid by the the right-wing to cause chaos. While they're not obvious paramilitaries as they lack guns, they're just as bad with other projectiles that can cause serious damage to innocents.
Even in the recent raid on the 4 student encampments by the Police and National Guard on May 8th 2014 only a small fraction of the protesters are students. Some of them where children and some were hearing disabled that were paid in food to occupy the camps. Most of the protesters were released without charge, many of them were granted police bail, while some have been referred to substance-abuse clinics for use of recreational drugs. Only 11 has been hauled before the courts to commence judicial proceedings.
Unlike Occupy Wall Street, these camps were used as cover for the real business: Insurrection.
These photos were taken exclusive by Chavista Blog LaRedoma.co.ve which you can find them here: http://www.laredoma.co.ve/2014/05/fotos-exclusivo-se-sorprendera-de-lo.html
While they were some harmless goods such as food and drinks, cell phones, radios, others were more dangerous: Drugs, Firearms including shotguns, and tear gas stolen from police and national guard, nails attached to hoses, and melee weapons such as bats, and fireworks and makeshift motors.
If it was not for the raid, the situation would have been worse.
It's clear that the Guarimba Insurrection is no ordinary campaign of civil disorder, it's political terrorism of the highest order. A campaign against the Venezuelan people, more specifically, a campaign against the Venezuelan people who have reclaimed their country from the economic privileged. And now the economic privilege have already embraced fascist tactics to this end.
The insurrection's second stage has begun and the Venezuelan Government must do whatever it takes to take down the fascist insurrection by any means legally necessary.
There's already a phrase for people of such kind and their leaders, the highest order counter-revolutionary who will use violence against their own people for exercising their Constitution rights:
It's what they are, it's what the Venezuelan Government needs to treat them as such: Take them down, and send them to courts where they'll face justice according to law and Constitution. The best way to deal with Political Terrorism is through strict abidance to law and Constitutional order. It is the only path to peace, and it's believe it or not the Venezuelan Government is doing that for the past 90 months.
Venezuela is a country, unlike the United States, takes constitutional order very seriously. When they mean, very seriously, we don't mean we say this so we can just reassure them and then actually do nothing, we say this because have actively ensured constitutional order and guarantee constitutional rights over the past 15 years.

University Controlled by Guarimbero in Zulia
Since the beginning of the guarimbas in the country, the Private University of Dr. Rafael Belloso Chacin (URBE) in Zulia state, serves as a center of refuge for terrorists who have hijacked the right of hundreds of students to attend classes to advance their programs in degree training. Petrol bombs, stones, meters, Chinese, mortars, launchers, guns of all kinds, hoods, gas masks, debris, flames, and no books and notebooks, are the order of the day in the current reality of the academic house in Maracaibo.
On May 15, there was a new onslaught of fascism against the police trying to restore order in the area. The Secretary of Zulia of State Safety, Jairo Ramirez, reported that about "80 people are the ones causing the violence" also stating that "it may not be possible for a small group of young affecting more normal 30 thousand students, corresponding to the enrollment URBE. "
Meanwhile, Ramirez reported no operative was arrested after Thursday.
Although social networking websites and communication portals claim repression and alleged "violation" of human rights allegedly "peaceful" students, the images show below speak for themselves of the armed movement that keeps the university subject to complaint .

Universities in Venezuela and in Latin America countries are autonomous universities. Meaning by law the police can't even enter unless they have a arrest warrant or are invited in by the University. However, public universities outside of the Bolivarian Universities are abusing this right by allowing Guarimberos effective control of the grounds. This prevents regular students from attending their studies thus obstructing the normal students of the constitutional right to a education.
Why is this going on? Because in some universities such as URBE and the Central University of Venezuela and are controlled by rectors aligned to the ultra-opposition sector of the MUD (Democratic Unity Roundtable).
90 days of Guarimba Insurrection and some of the universities are facilitating this farce.

The Story of Venezuela’s Protests May Be Different From What You Are Told
Originally published by Brazilian newspaper Folha de São Paulo, Mark Weisbrot easily takes down the Western narrative of the Guarimba Insurrection that has been pushed down for the past two months. While he disagrees with Venezuelan Government seeking an arrest warrant for far-rightist Leopoldo López and the automatic removal of María Corina Machado from the National Assembly for accepting a role as a alternative representative to Panama at the OAS, it's clear that what the far-right movement in Venezuela wants is the removal of President Maduro by force via ungovernablity.
In reacting to the protests in Venezuela, the biggest Western media outlets have drafted a charmingly simple narrative of the situation there. According to this story, peaceful protesters have risen up against a government because of shortages, high inflation, and crime. They have taken to the streets and been met with brutal repression from a government that also controls the media.
It doesn’t take much digging to take down this narrative. First, while there have been some peaceful opposition marches, the daily protests are anything but peaceful. In fact, about half of the daily death toll from Venezuela that we see in the media – now at 41 -- are actually civilians and security forces apparently killed by protesters. A much smaller fraction are protesters alleged to have been killed by security forces. As for the media, state TV in Venezuela has only about 10 percent of the TV audience; the New York Times recently had to run a correction for falsely reporting that opposition voices are not regularly heard on Venezuelan TV. They are on TV, even calling for the overthrow of the government – which has been the announced goal of the protest leaders from the beginning. These are not like the protests last year in Brazil, or the student protests from 2011-13 in Chile, which were organized around specific demands.
Of course the increased shortages and rising inflation over the past year have had a political impact on Venezuela, but it is striking that the people who are most hurt by shortages are decidedly not joining the protests. Instead, the protests are joined and led by the upper classes, who are least affected.
In fact, the protests really got going largely as a result of a split within the Venezuelan opposition. Henrique Capriles, who lost to Chávez and then Maduro in the last two presidential elections, was considered too conciliatory by the more extreme right, led by Leopoldo López and María Corina Machado. They decided that the time was ripe to topple the government through street protests. Both were involved in the 2002 military coup against then President Chávez; María Corina Machado even signed the decree of the coup government that abolished the elected National Assembly (AN), the Constitution, and the Supreme Court.

Now in regards to the narrative in Venezuela, it really shows that despite overwhelming evidence of the truth behind the facts they completely ignore what happened. Because if they did, they will shatter their fantasy world of humble students fighting against an oppressive government. This includes ignoring the socio-economic class of the protesters, which are upper class and upper-middle class. But why they're pushing this myth over and over again?
Because the news media in America, and in some sense in the Western world are another form of entertainment. In addition, most Americans in general do not care about what is going on in Eastern Europe,Africa or South America, South East Asia unless it's politics, violence, war, disaster, or disorder. The reliance of narratives reveals that the Western Media is too cheap to really find the truth behind what is going behind the scenes. It's merely a form of entertainment these days, especially in television news.
In addition, regarding the share of Venezuelan media viewership why VTV has a 10% share? Why the private media is dominant? It has to be something about the telenovelas isn't it? Because even Chavistas were reluctant to have RCTV to be shutdown without a renewal because of the telenovelas.

Hinterlaces: 73% of residents of Chacao reject guarimbas
This week's polling results from Hinterlaces, already confirms one fact: Most Venezuelans are opposed to the guarimba insurrection. Even the middle and upper middle classes of Chacao. Real question: If there are guarimbas and violent protests, why is most of the Venezuelan people and the middle classes are opposed to it?
73% of the residents of Chacao rejects guarimbas or violent protests, the latest study revealed by Hinterlaces polling.
The study was obtained after consulting with 350 inhabitants in this Miranda town. According to the survey, 68% of residents supports the dialogue between the National Government and the opposition, while 69% of respondents believe that the right-wing should reject terrorist actions carried out in jurisdictions governed by opposition political members to central government leaders. People who support punishing those who commit terrorism also part of the sample.
78% of the respondents said that the Government should impose penalties on those responsible for such acts.
Hinterlaces also highlights that 70% of respondents think that a coup in Venezuela does occur, the economic situation will be worse.

\As much as the Venezuela government can declare a state of emergency to crush the insurrection, and every country has the right to in similar circumstances, it's exactly what the far-right opposition of the country wants. So Maduro is going down the middle path of Stability. Enforcing the law against far-right groups, seeking a compromise with the moderate opposition that wants to talk about legitimate issues, and enforcing laws against people who engage in economic warfare. Already the worst of the insurrection is over, except in Chacao and instances of mobile guarimbas that have been occurring.
