"Labor and school activities are suspended at all levels of education from pre-school to university education, and is reported in the course of the minutes," he said during a broadcast on VTV.

Rodriguez reiterated that the Government continues to work to restore electricity service.

The government attributed the national blackout to a "cyber attack" sponsored by the United States (USA).

This situation has been affected by hospitals that do not have the power plants and the result of the death of 18 people, according to the opposition parliamentarian, José Manuel Olivares.

A great violation of human rights in Venezuela.... by the right? THE RIGHT HASN'T HAD THE LEAST BIT OF POWER IN VENEZUELA IN NEARLY 20 YEARS! As a matter of fact, THERE IS NO RIGHT. Only the extreme left of Marx/Leninism/Trotskyism that calls itself the Sons of Chavez, with an ill-educated, bus driving moron who talks to birds (it was Chavez!) as its glorious leader.

Any bets on if this "Mega Blackout" extends into next month?

4. Yes, good luck

The Mrs and I went out for supper last night and when our meals came, I looked at the cornucopia of food on my plate and commented that I feel a little guilty eating a prime rib sandwich when so many are eating filth from garbage tips and drinking from the Guaire and bathing in sewers. Mrs Gato reminded me that we give a lot and do a lot.

We have a lot to be thankful for.

I hope this nightmare ends soon.

5. You guys do FAR, FAR more than most and I know it.

God bless both of you, but damn, a prime rib sammich? You do know how to rub it in.

BTW, even though Cristal is now in Madrid getting the medical attention she desperately needed, her uncle has taken on the responsibility of running her foundation. He loves the work even though he doesn't have a lot of spare time. He's traveling to this side of the country this week to deliver a few hundred kilos of powdered milk to needy families in Maturin. Of course, his mom is sky high with the thought of seeing her only son, especially with his two sisters now living abroad.
