THE collapse of VENEZUELA should remind of all of how important it is to have food and water stored for emergencies that last a extended period of time .
IT’S also a lesson on not depending or trusting the government to do the right thing and have the interest of the people at heart,the people of this nation will have a long hard road ahead of them, at least five years and that’s if their government does everything right.

They Are Putting Armed Guards On Food Trucks In Venezuela

As people down in Venezuela get hungrier and hungrier, extreme desperation is setting in. And with extreme desperation comes crime and violence…
