Venezuelan Troops Stop Food Protests

Revelation 6:5,6 NCV When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse, and its rider held a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard something that sounded like a voice coming from the middle of the four living creatures. The voice said, "A quart of wheat for a day's pay, and three quarts of barley for a day's pay, and do not damage the olive oil and wine!"

Editor's Note: Jim Bakker has taught and continues to teach that when 'entitlements' are taken away from people, they will riot in the streets. The prophets who have visited Morningside have confirmed this warning.

Thousands of Venezuelan citizens attempted to have an “empty pots march” to the country’s food ministry Saturday in protest of chronic food shortages when military troops forced them to disburse at gunpoint.

The move by the military is the latest effort by the Maduro government to stop public opposition to his government.

Activists said over 5,000 people banged pots and blew horns as they marched toward the capital with banners pointing out massive shortages of flour, milk and toilet paper.  In addition to the capital, similar protests were held in five other cities.

“There’s nothing to buy,” one of the marchers told The Guardian newspaper.  “You can only buy what the government lets enter the country because everything is imported.  There is no beef.  There is no chicken.”

The food protests are the latest outcries against the Maduro government, which has allowed 56 percent inflation to remain unchecked and has done little to lower one of the world’s highest murder rates.

Officials with the Maduro government say that no protests are actually started by native Venezuelans, but are rather efforts of the United States, Panama and other nations to undermine the country’s socialist leadership.
