Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said on Tuesday he had proof that a massive power outage was caused by saboteurs aiming to throw the country into chaos before municipal elections this weekend.

The blackout on Monday night was the second major power outage the year, plunging much of the country into darkness and prompting accusations of government incompetence from the opposition.
...

"We always face these attacks by the right-wing fascists ... they wanted to make me, as president of the republic, decree a state of emergency and suspend the elections."

Critics of the government say lack of maintenance was likely to blame for the outage.

Maduro said power had been restored in record time and praised the workers involved.

"Whoever made this criminal attack wanted to leave our Venezuela without electricity for 24 to 48 hours ... thinking that would convince people not to continue with the revolution."

I am quite sure that opposition guy who had a billion dollars in his wallet was going to save
the Venezuelans by exporting the oil to the Military industry complex.

Did it brought any profit to Iraq or Libya yet? the answer is no. Otherwise the current unrest in Iraqis economy wouldn't had occurred. Instated the profit sells of the oil from Iraq supplies would had benefited the Iraqi economy but thats not what we are seeing.

Ever heard the term, the rich get richer while the poor get poorer?

That worked grand for Brazil.

Does that sound like a good candidate for Venezuela?
