Venezuela’s minister says major power outage likely caused by ‘cyberattack’, points finger at US

[the other mike]

Being a foreign agent for the Kremlin, here's my Russian propaganda thread for today.

A cyber-attack is likely the reason for the major blackout that left most of Venezuela in darkness, a Maduro government official said, hinting that the US may be involved in the offensive.

As Venezuela is still reeling from a nationwide blackout, Nicolas Maduro’s government says the emergency was the result of an external influence. The major power outage was likely prompted by a cyber-attack against the Guri hydroelectric plant which produces 80% of the country’s electricity, Jorge Rodriguez, Venezuela’s communication and information minister said on Friday, according to local media.

The official went on to hint that US Senator and fierce anti-Maduro campaigner Marco Rubio may be linked to the offensive. Rodriguez found it suspicious that shortly after the failure Rubio shared specific information on Twitter about the emergency that even local authorities were not aware of at that time.

How did Marco Rubio know [of the attack] a few minutes later that the backup generators had failed ? At that time, no one knew yet.

That works, once.

A corps of engineers should be engineering first world solutions to that economy.

Very humorous

Of course the missing item is the so called tweets referred to in the story.

Clearly the black out was caused by the same thing which is causing all of venezuelas problems which is socialism.

Naturally every fool who loves socialism wants to blame the us but they always fail.

Even if the tweets were produced they would prove .........nothing.

On one of the threads about this yesterday, I read an article that talked about the regular loss of power in Venezuela, including some of it planned by the government. So Maduro wants this blamed on the US? Okay. But it's kinda hard to believe him, considering.

They suffered one the same month last year as well. That they blamed on drought.

In June 2011, while Chavez received care at a medical facility in Cuba, doctors at Venezuelahospitals went on strike to demand better pay; frequent blackouts caused unrest in cities; and in a prison uprising more than 20 people were killed

Of course it had nothing to do with their broke ass electrical grid which has been in disrepair for a decade.

My guess is that the cause for the blackout is Liberal Incompetence.

The ultraliberal Maduro regime has drove most of the people who know shit the hell out of the country. All that's left in the position of power are liberal sycophants and ass kissers. And they can't do crap.

Email is not the pony express. It only takes 30 seconds for information to get from Venezuela to Florida.

No evidence that he did know it

That is the point you missed

Because it is too predictable?


Polish Prince nailed it; Marxist governments like Maduros run out competent people and so few are left who know anything useful.

Apparently, the latest coup attempt in Venezuela isn't quite on schedule?

Nationwide Blackout In Venezuela -Venezuelanalysis On the Ground Coverage Affected

"Since 5pm this Thursday, March 7, Venezuela has suffered a nationwide blackout.

"The Minister of Electric Power, Luis Motta Domínguez, denounced that the blackout was caused by sabotage to the central hydroelectric power plant and transmission area, located in El Guri, Bolívar state.

"Minister of Communication and Information, Jorge Rodriguez, in a statement made yesterday in VTV also denounced that the blackout was the result of 'criminal and brutal sabotage against our electricity generation system' aimed at harming the Venezuelan people and generating general chaos and despair.

"Minister Rodriguez pointed out that US Senator Marco Rubio had announced just last week that Venezuela was just 'days away from grave scarcity of food and fuel.'

"He also noted that Rubio sent out tweets announcing the blackout just minutes after it occurred.

"President Nicolás Maduro also responded with a Tweet last night denouncing the “announced and directed by US imperialism against our people” and promising that 'it will be defeated.'"

I wonder what will happen to the children of Venezuela if (when) Ivanka and Don, Jr. are indicted?

Can you explain how a "Marxist government" can function without nationalizing its banks? Two-thirds of the Venezuelan economy is in private hands, including the distribution of toilet paper.

So it only takes half Marxist to destroy a country now? Well price controls probably help.

Btw...PDVSA is the bank.

The commander in chief of the Corps of Engineers should have first world solutions not third world excuses;

does their federal doctrine have any provision for excuses?

Our federal doctrine, does not.

Maybe Hugo’s daughter could lend her country some of the $3-4 Billion she inherited from her daddy’s pension fund to help fix the crumbling socialist electrical grid? After all, someone always has to pay for everything even though the dopes all think everything’s free.
