"Now There's Not Even Soap" Maduro Heads To China To 'Save' Socialist Utopia Venezuela
Social media is awash with striking images of #EmptyShelvesInVenezuela (#AnaquelesVaciosEnVenezuela) as the evaporation of basic human staples such as toilet paper has now been hyperinflated to total chaos at warehouses and supermarkets. As President Maduro decries the loss of $100 oil "stability", vowing to return oil prices to their rightful places (and heads to China for help), lines reach for miles for milk and soap... and the people defy governmental bans on photographing empty market shelves... "We couldn't find shampoo, so we washed our hair with soap. Now there's not even soap."

As AFP reports,
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro begins a trip to China and OPEC member countries late Sunday in search of financial support as his country reels from falling oil prices and a tattered economy.
The South American oil giant confirmed Tuesday that it has entered recession, while annual inflation topped 63 percent, exacerbating the outlook for an economy already hit by global crashing oil prices and import shortages.
"It's a very important tour... to tackle new projects to address the circumstances affecting our country, including the depletion of revenues due to plummeting oil prices," Maduro said in a radio and television address from the Miraflores presidential palace.
Maduro said he would discuss economic, financial, energy, technological, educational and development projects with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Maduro had been expected to announce exchange measures to address these issues. Instead, the president announced the creation of a strategic reserve, appointed a new board for the entity that manages currency exchange controls and created new agencies to control the distribution of commodities.
President Maduro has an increasing problem...
- 22% self-identify as pro-govt vs. 42% when former president Hugo Chavez died March 2013
But as long as he can keep the military paid (off), things will be under his control.

off topic but I think it' good info:
Found this in an email a friend sent:
Differentiate which products are made in Taiwan or China.
If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 690, 691 or 692, the product is MADE IN CHINA.
471 is Made in Taiwan.
Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products “MADE IN CHINA”, so they don’t show from which country it is made.
However, you may now refer to the barcode – remember if the first 3 digits are:
00 ~ 13 USA & CANADA
30 ~ 37 FRANCE
40 ~ 44 GERMANY
49 ~ JAPAN
50 ~ UK
57 ~ Denmark
64 ~ Finland
76 ~ Switzerland & Lienchtenstein
471 ~ Taiwan
480 ~ Philippines
628 ~ Saudi Arabia
629 ~ UAE (United Arab Emirates)
740-745 ~ Central America

You guys think that Objama's hidden agenda for heading to Detroit is to openly buy a retirement home in a blighted area to show his optimism and support for America's auto industry, black leadership, financial restructuring abilities, local governance and great vision?
Or am I thinking of something else?

So oil is not suitably priced for the market, Señor Presidente?
Well then neither is that 90 tons of repatriated gold Hugo snatched back a couple or so years ago.
I've been using soap on my head for years we don't buy paper towels either that's all former middle class stuff
And now you're bald. Should have used the middle class stuff.
#letthemeatgold
No We Can't?
Shampoo is bad for you, damages hair. Conditioner exists to 'repair' the damage the shampoo caused in the first place. Just use water.
Bars of soap for regularly washing hands is pretty important, though. I guess they didn't try to make their own soap? Just wait in a government rationing line instead?
Right on the first, wrong on the second Matt.
Wood ash is the best cleanser.
And you certainly do not need soap!
This age of anti-mcrobialism is killing the west...slowly but surely killing immunity....what a horror to live in a completely anti-septic world. Makes me think of the Honored Matres of Dune...
https://aadivaahan.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/snake-eyes/
Yep, in the in remote villages here, wood ash/crushed charcoal from the fire is used to clean the pots. Seems to work great!
A normal bar of soap is not the same as the "kills 99.99% of germs" anti-microbial stuff that helps select super bugs.
How do you clean your hands with wood ashes? Seems to me that just makes your hands black. If you try doing that before delivering a baby, I think you'll be in some trouble.
I haven't been washinmg my head for years. Guess what, after a long period of oily hair it now looks washed every day. Always shocking to find out the human body knows best how your hair should look, if you greq up being taught vanity items are "necessity".
Plus, how idiotic can anyone be, washing their hair with soap? Baking soda and water is cheaper and washes better.
Toothpaste is not just for keeping shiny jewelry. While brushing in the shower you can clean between your toes and other crevices.
food stamp system goes down for a few days, weeks, and the riots will clear the shelves, and truckers wont deliver to the wild areas, and there are not enough cops to handle hungry people.

Actually, they know, or at least suspect, but they don't care.

I have come to the conclusion that the two most prevalent memes in movies are:
1) The governmnet, military, courts, thugs, etc., are for and about the people.
2) Those of government care.
Both blatant lies, but prevalent propaganda memes in Hollywood films.
Holly Wood (the occult wand from the Magic Tree - look it up) seems pathologically obsessed with POLICE STATE and NANNY STATE. Flipping channels is an exercise in defeatism and nihilism. Sitcoms and soaps are filler: day care for permanent childhood. Once in a while in years gone by something genuinely enriching and free of any obvious agenda was released, almost inadvertantly, but nowadays everything stinks of control and indoctrination and the battle for the mind. When's the last time you saw something that made you feel right, that made you want to keep a copy and share it with children and elders?
The Interview?
Haha. Lol Knukles.
Anyone else glad they have a garden, chickens, meat rabbits, a cellar stocked with food, and that extra shower in the fourth bathroom filled up with toilet paper, tootpaste and toothbrushes, and bars of soap?
Anyone else really glad they have guns and ammunition also? Sure I have gold and silver, but those are for *after* the chaos. Yes, it is coming soon to the USSA also...
That stuff costs munny! And nun of us has enny! So until we either get lots of munny or brush up on our barter skillz, we don't not got nun of that stuff.
Still, it's nice to fantasize. Well, enough rest, I got work to do. Just gotta water my Hex Inverter Chips. Should give me a good crop of 4GigRam Cards for the spring ...

This is what Wal-Marts will look like when China stops taking US dollars in exchange for its goods.
No, in the Walmart pictures the people will be 4x as large.
Hmmmm (strokes chin), a soapportunity.
And they won't be in line, they'll be one surging mass of violent fury.
Perimetr
In one sentence you said everything that needed to be said to put this issue into perspective.
The problem in Venezuela is very simple to solve:
Venezuela has to trade their oil in their currency, the Bolívar, and not in dollars.
And they will be fine…… Just like Wal-Mart
Is the New BRICS Bank a Challenge to US Global Financial Power?
http://michael-hudson.com/2014/07/escaping-the-dollar/
So, you are proposing that instead of selling oil for USD and then buying goods for import with those USD, the Venezuelans should make oil purchases buy bolivars with their own currency, or convert their currency to USD then USD to Bolivars, and buy then oil, then the Venezuelans can convert the Bolivars into USD to buy goods for import?
Seems the only ones to benefit from this plan would be the money changers, since you just doubled the amount of times currencies must be exchanged.
No - but this barcode urban legend will live on decades after I'm in the ground.
It does not apply to anything sold in the U.S. because we use UPC bar codes which DO NOT have any digits identifying the country of origin - only manufacturer and product id number. How do you know by looking at the bar code? If you're looking at something you bought in the U.S., then it's a UPC bar code = no 'country of origin'. It could have been made anywhere. Forget the nine- or ten- or twelve-digits as any kind of additional clue - no 'country of origin' in our UPC bar codes, period.
IF you're in the EU and IF the product has an EAN bar code (some do, some don't), then you will be able to tell the country in which the EAN code was registered, not the country in which the product was made. If the product is marketed by anyone outside of China, then the foreign corporation probably registered the bar code in their country, not China. This makes the 'country of origin' tip essentially useless unless you're buying something in a Chinese supermarket in Paris. In that case, you can probably already figure out the country of origin.
Crap email seems to resurface every few months.

Oops.
Nice of them to make it easy to remember the 69 codes, while they continue to fuck US.
So bye bye miss American pie,........
So......Where is the RIOTS and people taking shit from other's carts?
You just gotta love the animals in the USSA!!!!!
Milwaukie
You can't rob your neighbor's cart when it's emply...
I don't see Isreal / West Bank
They don't bother to put barcodes on advanced surgical/medical breakthroughs, and military hardware, they are not consumer goods.
don't see russia?
No barcodes required for male bravado, mail-order brides, natural gas and bad driving videos on YouTube.
Hit Snopes, this is not correct....
Snopes is as reliable as the Onion, but at least the Onion is funny.
And the bar codes for products from Israel, Ukraine or Russia?
So, you assume a pair of shoes marked NADE IN ITALY was made in Italy? Not according to shoemakers I spoke to some years ago in Italy while in Italy. Extrapolate.
My recent research indicates a lot of the formerly made-in-USA chemicals I used 15 years ago in the manufacturing of coatings for various coating markets are now coming from China. I haven't done a lot of research but a cursory look over the past few days seems to indicate they now come from overseas. Limited info - but initially disconcerting.
Go to those national chain drugstores and look at how much of their 'genericish' food items are made in China.
I'm all for buying USA...And/or knowing the true country of origin but it ain't necessarily so...
I love the new Volvos but its a Chinese brand. Almost zero % American brands of blue jeans are made in the USA. How about tires...
Don't be lazy...do some research.
And the bar code for Israel is?
And if you see it - don't buy it.
And the most inportant: Jewland !
729 and 871.
Well now I know how to avoid the axis of evil 00~33 and 729/871, thanks !
The Truth:
Neither first three digits on the barcode nor any part of the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) has anything to do with country of origin,

Those dumbasses can't even make soap?
Anyone watching Fight Club knows how to makes soap. Geez. Just get creative with your fat source.
Miffed
pssst, what if you live in a household of reasonably healthy people in a reasonably healthy neighbourhood where land whales are a rare sight? what should I do for fat source?
Your local pork butcher.
Most reasonably healthy people in a reasonably healthy neighbourhood will ask the butcher to cut the fat off the bacon...because they are fucking idiots!
The butcher might just give it to you, now, until things go to shit. Then, people will kill for bacon fat...literally.
I use it in my rabbit terrine.
mrs_horseman has a giant pot of beans on the stove, tonight, that is flavored with the fatback from bacon and some onions.
Now that I mention it, I think I may have my third bowl.
Animal fat soap is a Western European/American thing. Everywhere else on earth, vegetable oils had been the cheap, traditional lipid used in saponification.
"...pssst, what if you live in a household of reasonably healthy people in a reasonably healthy neighbourhood where land whales are a rare sight? what should I do for fat source?..."
Duh! Then don't hunt locally. Get your skinny ass out to the nearest Wal*Mart. There's always plenty of XXL game roaming the aisles. I suggest heading back to the TV and electronics department - the largest members are often found there. They seem to be rather easily mesmerized by all the blinky lights.
For really bad Wal*Mart days (inclement weather, busses not running, EBT down) you can always resort to the ol' standby: a trail of corn dogs from one of the main aisles to the skinny dead-ender aisles. Automotive or the Seasonal areas are preferred for ambush.
Good Hunting!
Best laugh all day "blinky lights" still LOL THANKS
Re: " my third bowl"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beans,_Beans,_the_Musical_Fruit
You do need to work on your creativity and tenacity. Conjuring up an 18 century fat source is a bit impractical today. Beach whales notwithstanding. That will be saved for the possible mad max scenario.

I was eyeballing an EBT tycoon just yesterday...
"I was eyeballing an EBT Ty Coon just yesterday..."
Now thats even funnier ;)
Just save all of the grease from when you cook. You'll probably have to wash it a few times if you want to make soap with it, but it isn't that hard to find a source. Unless you're a braindead sheep who's greatest culinary achievement is not screwing up kraft mac and cheese, that is.
Get onto badgerandblade.com and search for the arguments about which oils/fats make the best shave soap. Some pretty good flame wars can pop up over that topic, though it is widely held that at least 50% beef fat and at least partial potassium hydroxide instead of pure sodium hydroxide provides the best results. The nice thing about potassium hydroxide is that you can make it with ash from your fireplace. The not so nice thing is that it makes very soft/liquid soaps.
"Anyone watching Fight Club knows how to makes soap. Geez. Just get creative with your fat source."
Isn't Venezuala a world leader in plastic surgery? They probably have abundant supplies, unless they only do enlargements?

That's what I mean, if they do plastic surgery, do they only do implants, or lipo as well?

What do you mean, 'what do I do'?

"Cleanliness?"
You know. I help people come clean after they've become dirty.
"WHAT?"
NO. nothing like THAT. I make SOAP.

"Today an FBI SWAT raid took down a terrorist bomb making operation at a suburban home, only 30,000 feet from an elementary school. It is thought that the suspects were making glycerin, a compound used to make dynamite and sensitive and very dangerous gelatin explosives. Those apprehended were Rose Marie Shadlin, 66, and Lee Harvey Shadlin, 71. During the raid the Shadlin's poodle was shot and killed when it lunged at officers. Also their pet parrot was tazed for swearing at the officers during the raid. Mrs. Shadlin had to be transported to Community Memorial Hospital, as she resisted arrest while armed with a knitting needle, and was pounded into a coma. Also found in the Shadlins' home was very toxic and perilous nitric acid. And now for the weather with Matt..."

GRASSHOPPER AND THE ANT.
Same story but Two Different Versions ..... Two Different Morals
OLD VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or
shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE OLD STORY: Be responsible for yourself!
NEW VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool
and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and
starving. CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled
with food…America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green..'
ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, We shall overcome. Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group
kneel down to pray for the grasshopper's sake.
President condemns the ant and blames previous opposition government for the grasshopper's plight. Politicians exclaim in interview that the ant has gotten rich off the
back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity and Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government
Green Czar and given to the grasshopper.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which, as you
recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize and ramshackle the once
prosperous and peaceful neighborhood.
The world has collapsed.
MORAL OF THE STORY: This is democracy
did the ant go galt? s/
I never liked the ant and grasshopper story because of the inaccurate descriptions of their behaviors.
Ive watched a nest of fire ants kill and carry away a grasshopper. poor bastard. I felt sorry for a grasshopper of all things.
My brother and I watched a carpenter ant get stung to death by a group of fire ants. We dropped a few fire ants on the carpenter ant colony and retribution was swiftly dealt. No respect was given to the diplomatic envoy. We determined harmonious integration between red and black ants would never be possible because of the limited intellectual capacities of the two species.
Miffed
How. About Uncles?
Love Sunday night on ZH.
I once watched two groups of carpenter ants battle it out beside my shed. It was a tie -- all combatants ended up on their backs with all six legs broken, waiting to die.
Great take. And that is why the founders wanted a Republic, NOT a Democracy.
It is a shame that the ant did not have a .338 Lapua magnum like the Noreen.

Nope. EBT cards will keep supermarkets going, even if they need to be stocked by the government. Not sure about Venz, but if they dont have EBT, most likely the soup lines are around the block. The two-party system in the US will not allow soup lines, hence EBT, very discrete.

Today I Learned that in Venezuela, the term "I'm leaving on a very imortant tour" is the way you announce that you are loading up the big jet and fleeing the country before the people realize that your only value to the nation is the nutritional value of your carcass.
How much gold was on the jet? I say a few tons, it came back for a reason can't be looted out of London boys..
China can get low cost deep sea oil from Venezuela, and Venezuela can move their leadership to those superdelux empty Chinese Zombie Cities.
I bet China starts populating the empty cities with all the escaping 'leadership'...they will need new digs, like MatrixVille for escaped corrupt CEOs.
China can set up the leadership shops and run it from their home bases Asia side.
If you see Russian Navy or Chinese Navy near Venezuela...duck and cover !
Any chance he's flying Malasya Air?
As I have posted here before, Venezuela would be wise to align strategically with China.
That way, it makes it very difficult for the Wall St vultures (GS & squid friends) to loot its golden Precious and other resources, and put them into perma-bondage. If they default, they can do an oil for Yuan swap, and use the Yuan to buy TP, Soap and other stuff from China.
p.s. WTF can't they make soap from plant oils or other lipids?
"p.s. WTF can't they make soap from plant oils or other lipids?"
Most people don't know how to get creative, or even inquire. If the only soap they've ever used in their lives was from the store, then soap comes from the store in their minds. Inquiring where soap comes from? Yeah, whomever gets that idea down there and starts blaring it to everybody else is going to be popular. A similar mentality is in the US. I caught a few minutes of a show on poverty in the US a few months ago. One family was going to lose their house. The 12 year old kid mowed lawns and put most of what he earned into food and gas. Then you got back to his house and they had a nice, big, neatly kept lawn. The whole time, they were talking about how they wanted to eat better quality food, but all they could afford was crap. I see the law and think, if it grows grass, it will grow crops. They didn't think that way, and most people don't, unless they were taught to think that way, and I don't think it matters if you are in Venezuela or in the US. Just like it never occurred to these people to try growing their own food, it is not going to occur to very many Venezuelans to make their own soap, at least not until it is clear that it will not be regularly stocked and one who is brighter than the rest says "You know, I remember my grandmother making soap, now WTF did she do? Hey Jose, lets figure out how to make our own fucking soap. Tell Pablo too!"
Now, if soap becomes scarce in the US, I think there are probably enough who make soap as a hobby to spread that shit rather quickly. The idea is already there for a few, and it wouldn't take long for them to spread it. Would would fuck people is figuring out what to do when they cannot just go and buy sodium hydroxide. FYI, and I've not done this myself, so take it with that in mind, you steep wood ash in water (several ways for doing this can be found online) and either simmer it down or steep enough of it long enough until a fresh egg just floats. That's your potassium hydroxide, or another form of lye. Pioneers did it, so it shouldn't be rocket science. Just some hard work and patience.
body parts?
Even in NAZI Germany they never ran out of SOAP!
Oh wait.... That was a little tastless.
Well, 'Dolf needed to find a use for a certain type of money-changer.
No cause it never happened. Fiction.
The soap story among many other things was allied war propaganda.
first oil shoe to drop?
China will clean out Venezuela (of all its oil deep and long-term resources)...and setup camp there permanently.

a good ole round up is on tap. ropes and chaos and new leadership starting with public hangings. anything less is humans scared shitless. and this is the reason to never give up your gun(s). day will come soon...
Anyone else find it kind of surreal people are still posting on Twitter? Yeah as if that's your priority right now...
If Twitter had been available in Nazi Germany, would there still have been as many atrocities committed? When all you have is a camera and an instant conduit to the world, perhaps you think reasonable people might see your conditions and somehow help. I agree it's surreal, but if history is any predictor, the pictures are only going to get more grim. (At least until their internet access is 'accidentally' disabled...)
If twitter and iphones were around during national socialist Germany the allies whole stupid fucking scheme would have been averted and Zee jews would being using some other form of mass manipulation upon us dumb asses here in the ussa
Germany began a national credit program by devising a plan of public works that included flood control, repair of public buildings and private residences, and construction of new roads, bridges, canals, and port facilities. All these were paid for with money that no longer came from the private international bankers.
The projected cost of these various programs was fixed at one billion units of the national currency. To pay for this, the German government (not the international bankers) issued bills of exchange, called Labor Treasury Certificates. In this way the National Socialists put millions of people to work, and paid them with Treasury Certificates.
Under the National Socialists, Germany’s money wasn’t backed by gold (which was owned by the international bankers). It was essentially a receipt for labor and materials delivered to the government. Hitler said, “For every mark issued, we required the equivalent of a mark’s worth of work done, or goods produced.” The government paid workers in Certificates. Workers spent those Certificates on other goods and services, thus creating more jobs for more people. In this way the German people climbed out of the crushing debt imposed on them by the international bankers.
Within two years, the unemployment problem had been solved, and Germany was back on its feet. It had a solid, stable currency, with no debt, and no inflation, at a time when millions of people in the United States and other Western countries (controlled by international bankers) were still out of work. Within five years, Germany went from the poorest nation in Europe to the richest.
Germany even managed to restore foreign trade, despite the international bankers’ denial of foreign credit to Germany, and despite the global boycott by Jewish-owned industries. Germany succeeded in this by exchanging equipment and commodities directly with other countries, using a barter system that cut the bankers out of the picture. Germany flourished, since barter eliminates national debt and trade deficits. (Venezuela does the same thing today (2012) when it trades oil for commodities, plus medical help, and so on. Hence the bankers are trying to squeeze Venezuela.)
Germany was rescued from English economic theory, which says that all currency must be borrowed against the gold owned by a private and secretive banking cartel — such as the Federal Reserve, or the Central Bank of Europe — rather than issued by the government for the benefit of the people.
It seems like I have heard this story before. Everytime someone tries to seperate themselves from the shackles of monetary slavery, it results in a war.
I wash my hair with soap all the time.
I don't have alot of hair, balding, but I really don't notice the difference.
I had a buddy in High School who said he washed his hair with Dial soap one time and it made it all kinky...that was the excuse he gave us at its sudden change in appearance.
Unfortunately for him it stayed that way forever.
We think he was lying to us for some reason ;-)
Shampoo is a marketing ploy for sheeple.
Along with anti-bacterial soap LOL Bernaysianism at it's finest Homemade or even store bought bar soap shaven down heated up and liquified works as shampoo clothes detergent hand soap and yes even dish washing
Im rendering tallow as we speak (type, whatever). Ive noticed a great difference in beef fat from grass fed cows as opposed to the Costco beef fat. Washing the former is much more difficult to remove. I had a 50# bucket of lye delivered and the Fed Ex guy was asking me some questions about my use of the lye (some people use it to make meth); it turns out he and his ex-wife used to make soaps of all types. My next batch will be beer soap with some homebrew (if I dont drink all of it). Have you ever tried soap nuts?
i miss chavez
Why don't they just print a few trillion Venezuelan Bolivars and get all the soap they need. It works so well for us here in the good ol US of A.
Isn't Socialism fun??!
