Removing Statues

Removing Statues

Venezuelan activist Elizbeth Rogliani has produced a video likening the toppling of statues in American as part of the Black Lives Matter movement to the Venezuela Socialist movement.

"Why do I even worry about some silly statues coming down? Or some silly little street names changing? Why do I care? That’s because the last time I didn't care about this I was a teenager," Rogliani said, citing her personal experience.

"I have already lived through this thing when I was living in Venezuela.

The statues came down ... Chavez didn't want all that history displayed

Then he changed the street names

Then came the school curriculum

Then some movies couldn't be shown on certain TV channels

.....and there was more.

Venezuela was one of the richest and most democratic countries in South America before being taken over by socialism.

"You guys think it can't happen to you ... I've heard this so many times, but always be on guard," Rogliani cautioned. "Never believe something can't happen to you. You need to guard your country and your society, or it will be destroyed.

"We didn't believe it could happen to us,” she continued. The
Cubans warned us, yet it happened. And there are clearly a lot of people wanting to destroy the United States."

Rogliani’s video has amassed over 1 million views after it was shared on Twitter, Monday. It has also been picked up by mainstream media outlets.

Because of what happened in their own country, Venezuelans recognize signs of a communist takeover better than almost anyone

"I don't think they're recognizing what's going to happen next because they're thinking these are just symbols of oppression, I had a lot of friends who told me, 'Oh, it's just the Confederate statues.'”

“And, I said, 'No, it's not going to be just the Confederate statues. Just wait and see.' This is a slippery slope," she asserted.

Rogliani shared that she suspects that the “Founding Fathers are going to be attacked" next, followed by religious symbols and museums.

She added: "Anything can be attacked if you just let it happen. If you just let the first ones come down, then there are no limits to what's next."

The activist went on to state that the end goal is an “attempt to change the country.”

Rogliani also told Ingraham that one of the founders of the Black Lives Matter movement actually visited Venezuela and was reportedly photographed with the Venezuelan regime a number of years ago.

“And, we saw the [Black Lives Matter (BLM)] founders being allies to the Venezuelan regime. I saw pictures of them in 2015 where ... one of the co-founders of the BLM movement went to Venezuela ... and said that she was happy to be in a place with intelligent political discourse," Rogliani concluded.

Investigate the motives of the current protest. Delve into the philosophy of its supporters. Be sure they represent what you think they stand for. Lend your support if you are confident that their intent is not to destroy what you believe in.
