Dear Editor:
I encourage all your readers to read the following Oct. 13, 2019, article by Christian K. Caruso: "My Socialist Hell: 20 Years of Decay in Venezuela" (www.breitbart.com/national-security/2019/10/13/my-socialist-hell-20-years-of-decay-in-venezuela/).
I quote from the article: "I was barely eleven years old when Hugo Chvez began his first term in 1999. When this 'Bolivarian Revolution' started to change the constitution and morph our laws I was just an introverted child that had just moved to the capital of the country, fascinated by video games, cartoons, and Power Rangers and with an overactive imagination. This perpetual revolution has laid down a status quo in the country that often forces you to lose your personal aspirations, to cast away your future, hopes, and dreams; it changes you in many ways until you're no longer a citizen - you're merely a survivor."
"Socialism has slowly eroded the functional existence of every aspect of our lives, from our freedom of speech to our economic liberties, our access to healthcare and personal documents to our water supply. Each of these structural collapses the absence of healthcare, the worthlessness of our currency, systemic corruption in the government and military, and widespread censorship have affected me personally."
"Socialism is a trendy topic in the United States at the moment, which means my story is relevant beyond Venezuela's borders. Over the course of this series, I hope to inform American readers about the realities of existence and survival in a socialist country. And I hope that by reading my stories, Americans will be forewarned enough that they remain distant stories, rather than firsthand experiences."
It's clearly obvious to me and difficult to believe any honest person would not agree, that the News Tribune is biased against President Trump and by that, supportive of the Democrat party agenda. With that in mind considering the Democrat agenda of doing whatever it takes to gain power and wealth by the continuation of a corrupt bureaucratic and judicial system of Socialism, I would hope the NT would wake up to the horrors of a socialist government.
God bless President Trump that by his statements in his rallies attended by tens of thousands is virtually the only politician openly and emphatically attempting to save our Republic from this scourge of socialism being promoted by the Democrat party and their enablers!
