Venezuelan Police shoot and kill a protester live on TV.

We’ve repeatedly warned our readers that a collapse of life as we know it in America would quickly devolve into violence, looting and outright anarchy. As the economic landscape in America deteriorates it is likely only a matter of time before millions of starving Americans make their way to the streets in protest. When that happens they’ll be met with a heavily armed response. It’ll start with tear gas and rubber bullets, but that won’t be enough to stave off the starving and hopeless masses, so we can fully expect real bullets to start flying in short order.

To see a real-world example of this one need only turn their attention to Venezuela, where the collapse of their currency has led to hyperinflation to the point that supplies of bare essentials like flour, meat, medicine and toilet paper are unavailable to the general population. The situation has been playing out for several years and it appears to be coming to a head.

As evidenced by the video below, which appeared on Live television, Venezuelan riot police and military are now to the point where they are willing to kill to ensure the security of the State.

When Trump was elected I thought we'd see a slow down in the number of people that associate with or call themselves "preppers".

I was wrong.

So what does Venezuela's situation have to do with that segment of society?

The prepper community is watching the events there with great interest.  There is a belief that an "unwinding" of the current global system is a forgone conclusion.  Interestingly enough they point to an over valued Wall Street as the number one example of why this move is inevitable.

Its believed by many that the economic collapse in Venezuela will mirror what we see in the US, which is why they're following the events there so carefully.

With all that said, the situation in that country is becoming more dire.  Shooting  a protester live on TV?  I hadn't heard that news on the mainstream media (and I have alerts going for Reuters, UPI and Associated Press) and SouthCOM is still quiet as a church mouse.

Hate to add to your list of "must do's" on Weds, but you must keep an eye on the situation down south.  I think it could pop wide open at anytime.
