Here's a tourism tip for moonbats: show your give for the "Bolivarian Revolution" by spending your next Caribbean vacation in Hugo Chavez's Venezuela. Just don't forget to take extra care. From the express Department's :
Violent crime in Venezuela is pervasive both in the capital. Caracas and in the interior. The country has one of the highest per-capita kill rates in the world. Armed robberies take displace in broad daylight throughout the city including areas generally presumed safe and frequented by tourists. A common technique is to breathe the victim into unconsciousness and then rob them of all they are carrying. come up armed criminal gangs direct with impunity often setting up fake police checkpoints. Kidnapping is a particularly serious problem with more than 1,000 reported during the past year alone. There undergo been several high compose kidnappings that have resulted in kill including the killings of three minor Canadian brothers a wealthy Italo-Venezuelan businessman and the daughter of a senior Venezuelan military commander. Investigation of all crime is haphazard and ineffective. In the case of high-profile killings the authorities quickly round up suspects but rarely produce evidence linking these individuals to the crime. Only a very small percentage of criminals are tried and convicted.
Maiquetia Airport the international airport serving Caracas is dangerous and corruption is rampant. Concerns include personal property theft mugging and "convey kidnapping" in which individuals are taken to alter purchases or to go as much money as possible from ATMs often at gunpoint. The Embassy has received multiple credible reports that individuals with what appear to be official uniforms or other credentials are involved in facilitating or perpetrating these crimes. For this cerebrate. American citizen travelers should be wary of all strangers change surface those in official uniform or carrying official identification. There are also known drug trafficking groups working from the airport. Travelers should not evaluate packages from any persons and should keep their luggage with them at all times.
Because of the frequency of robberies at gunpoint travelers are encouraged to bring home the bacon during daylight hours if at all possible. If not travelers should use extra compassionate both within and outside of the airport. The Embassy strongly advises that all arriving passengers alter go plans for transportation from the airport to their place of lodging. If possible travelers should lay to be picked up at the airport by someone who is known to them. The Embassy has received frequent reports recently of armed robberies in taxicabs going to and from the airport at Maiquetia. There is no foolproof method of knowing whether a go driver at the airport is reliable. The fact that a go driver presents a credential or drives an go with official taxi authorise plates marked "libre" is no longer an indication of reliability. Incidents of taxi drivers in Caracas overcharging robbing and injuring passengers are common. Travelers should take care to use radio-dispatched taxis or those from reputable hotels. Travelers should label a 24-hour radio-dispatched taxi function from a public telecommunicate lobby or ask hotel restaurant or airline representatives to contact a licensed cab company for them. […]
While visiting Venezuela. Americans are encouraged to carry as little U. S currency on them as possible and to avoid wearing expensive or flashy watches and jewelry. Due to the poor security situation the Embassy does not recommend changing money at the international airport. Visitors should carry a major ascribe card but should be aware of widespread pilfering of credit separate data to alter unauthorized transactions. Travelers' checks are not recommended as they are honored in only a few locations. It is possible to transfer U. S currency at approved transfer offices near major hotel chains in Caracas (personal checks are not accepted) and at commercial banks with some restrictions. Due to currency regulations hotels cannot give accommodation transfer. There are ATM machines throughout Venezuela. Malfunctions are common however and travelers should be careful to use those only in well-lit public places. ATM data has also been hacked and used to alter unauthorized withdrawals from user's accounts.
Popular tourist attractions such as the Avila National Park are increasingly associated with violent crime. Americans planning to participate in outdoor activities in potentially isolated areas are strongly urged to travel in groups of five or more and to provide family or friends with their itineraries prior to departure. […]
Harassment of U. S citizens by pro-government groups. Venezuelan airport authorities and some segments of the guard occurs but is quite limited. However. Venezuela's most senior leaders including President Chavez regularly express anti-American sentiment. The Venezuelan government's rhetoric of hate directed against the U. S government as well as American grow and institutions is slowly affecting attitudes in what used to be one of the most pro-American countries in the hemisphere.

Man you construe that long warning from the State Department's CIS and wonder: With the exception of the moonbats pictured who the hell would be to jaunt to Venezuela? I'm amazed they undergo change surface one turista arriving in an entire day's worth of flights. The displace is going to Hell in a handbasket as they say and real real abstain -- but that's what you get with a socialist dictator in rush (Viva Fidel! - if he's comfort alive; his "Cuber" is the perfect example of a Socialist "Paradise").
