Here's some of the headlines Venezuela has been generating in the last 72 hours.
Nice Try, Venezuela, But Your Censorship Backfired
.......................But this time something feels fundamentally different. There's no Chávez. There's no independent media. And yet the world actually seems to be paying attention.
There are two reasons for this. The first is the consistent failure by the regime of President Nicolás Maduro to paint a coherent, believable picture of what's really going on in Venezuela. The second is international concern about Venezuela's current media blackout and restrictions on the foreign press.....................
.................As with any campfire ghost story, darkness has a way of making the very worst seem believable. By attempting to muffle domestic criticism, the regime in Caracas may well be exposing itself to something worse, on a much larger stage. Venezuela's gloomy media landscape is making it easier for the world to believe that Maduro's regime has a great deal to hide.

This Is the App That's Fueling the Uprising in Venezuela
http://www.defenseone.com/technology...itial-continueFounded in Austin in 2011, Zello allows individuals to communicate to one another walkie-talkie style via a simple broadband connection. The app interface looks a like button on your phone. You press it to speak to people on a particular channel. The channels can be as small as two people or as big as hundreds of thousands. The largest in Venezuela is about 450,000, but only 600 can be active on a channel at one time, Moore said. The feel of the app is similar to the now defunct Nextel push-to-talk service, which was shut down last summer. Zello is free for individuals but companies can purchase a plan to allow more users on a single channel for $10 a month. Zello has been downloaded some 50 million times. In addition to playing a big role in the recent Ukraine protests, it was also extremely popular during last year’s unrest in Turkey.
Moore never imagined that what he was making could become a politically destabilizing force. He knew only that he wanted to make a social network around the idea of Internet-based radio. “The human voice carries so much more information than typing. We knew that was the basis of something great. If you listen to these channels you realize that it’s a way for people to make friends. The surprise was that that it exploded in Turkey almost a year ago to become the number one app in Turkey around the issues that they had, and then in Venezuela.”
But Zello, which has been downloaded more than 600,000 times in Venezuela in just a few days, has seen multiple uses, some of these extend beyond calling for marches and launching maneuvers to evade the authorities. They include organizing guarimbas, blockades of burning trash, to thwart National Guard and police movements. The erection of the guarimbas represents a clear escalation in protestor tactics away from simple peaceful marches and some report that the blockades have contributed to the casualty count, which officially hit 11 over the weekend. The use of guarimbasis controversial among the protestors and has been met with extremely harsh responses from troops as demonstrated in this video.

Re: US Attempts to Destabilise Venezuela Post Chavez
Burning barricades seem to be the operational mode du jour.
One wonders why heavy machinery has not been used against them.
Still, they make for great photo ops.
It is good to see all that US cash invested in destabilising is helping to address the mass unemployment crisis by providing a few tech jobs.

Re: US Attempts to Destabilise Venezuela Post Chavez
Rolando Tomasini at Al Jazeera English on President Nicholas Maduro’s lack of legitimacy in Venezuela. “The government's excessive repression methods over the past week have pushed the limits of its erstwhile popular support, provoking the masses to express their disaccord with President Nicolas Maduro. Residents from the poorest areas have adopted the same methods against the government's violence and repression, setting up barricades, blocking military access, fighting back against the guards and using social media to show the world that they, too, have had enough of the government's mismanagement,” Tomasini writes. “It is impossible to establish dialogue when you control and restrict channels of communication. Maduro refuses to take responsibility for the brutal violence taking place all over the country. Members of his party, cabinet and military forces have begun showing signs of declining support of Maduro as the situation continues to deteriorate.”

Re: US Attempts to Destabilise Venezuela Post Chavez
Perhaps you would like to post a "news source" rather than a series of disinformation pieces churned out off the same script.
Here's something alternative -
