Maduro accuses (again) Colombians of destroying Venezuelan electric infrastructure

Maduro says that groups trained in Colombia attack the electric system in Venezuela



(Caracas, December 27 - Noticias24) .- The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, blamed on Wednesday "trained groups" in Colombia for the frequent blackouts suffered by the border state Zulia, in the middle of the oil crisis in the oil country.

"There are groups trained in Colombia to attack the electrical system (...) They are terrorist attacks (...), a guerrilla war, terrorist, against the system," Maduro said during an act of delivery of state housing.

Maduro, who is preparing to take on a new mandate for six years (2019-2025) on January 10, insisted on Wednesday in his denunciations of a plot launched by the United States to overthrow him with the support of Colombia and the president-elect of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro.

"Whoever sticks his nose out, lead with it. Whoever dares to invade Venezuela (...), will receive the people with a rifle in his hand" he warned.

Of course, Maduro knows this because he is the Maximum Leader and as such, is omnipotent. He knows the goings on at various US military bases, with EXACT NUMBERS of foreign agents (Colombian, Spanish, Brazilian) being trained there. (proof? PFFT! He is Maximum Leader! That is all the proof that El Pueblo needs!)

Pay no attention to the fact that the electrical grid, which has been ignored for 20 years, is literally rusted down to the bolts. Electrical towers routinely topple in the tropical humidity (blamed on sabotage) as well as underwater cables (sabotage) and transformers (sabotage, fornicating iguanas)... even well guarded electrical substations seem to have phantom saboteurs able to bypass armed guards to do their handiwork.

Please note the "invisible imps", trained as Colombian saboteurs, running along the length of the electrical cables, blowing up transformer after transformer in the video below.
