Venezuela arrests three generals for allegedly plotting a coup

The stunning disclosure — the first known significant threat from within Maduro's government — comes amid a growing crackdown on the president's opponents after more than six weeks of street protests that have left at least 34 dead.

In a further blow to the opposition, the mayor of the town of San Cristobal where the protests started was sentenced to a year in prison. Daniel Ceballos was convicted of failing to prevent violence and the blockading of streets.

He was the second mayor convicted and sentenced, and quickly. Enzo Scarano, mayor of San Diego in the north, was arrested, tried and sentenced to 10 months in prison. It all happened in a matter of hours last week.

An opposition leader, Leopoldo Lopez, has been detained since last month and is awaiting trial. He is accused of instigating violence against the government.

Venezuela’s government is sinking in a sea of oil It has nearly as much crude reserves as the US and Saudi Arabia combined. So how come Venezuela's oil production and exports are slipping and the public is raging in the streets?

Oil troubles have helped drain Venezuela's hard currency reserves and exacerbate shortages of basic goods, leading to price gouging and fueling public anger.

Venezuela uses its oil as a political reward to likeminded governments in the region — hardly a way to close fiscal gaps. And the state takeover of the oil industry has proven a disaster, with production plummeting and investment lagging.

What's more, Venezuela is providing over 200,000 bpd more to Beijing at no charge as a down payment on more than $40 billion in Chinese loans extended during the Chavez years, according to the EIA.

Add another 400,000 bpd transferred at below-market prices to regional Bolivarian brethren — including Cuba, Nicaragua and a host of small Caribbean islands — and it's no wonder the Venezuelan currency, the bolivar, fell 73 percent against the dollar in 2013.

Not sure when he last posted here but this ws on cattle today as of feb 19



Thanks TB. While I know free choice is always an option for minerals, for the material I'm selling I wanted to be able to honestly say that XYZ minerals have been added to the mix.....just didn't want to overdo it. With all the disruptions in business going on here, it's getting more and more difficult to find commercial feeds and with summer now kicking in, the demand is there. The same folks who buy my bales for their horses are buying feed mixes to supplement their cattle.

When time permits I'll post an update on my activities......I've been a busy boy. :cboy:
