Venezuela's electric grid attacked

Good thing I get my news from the Internet or I'd never know what was going on in the world. Not a peep about this on CNN.com.

Here's the latest: Electricity Gradually Returns to Venezuelan Capital Caracas
"People in the Venezuelan capital Caracas reported Friday that electricity is being restored gradually in different zones of the city after a sabotage attack against the electric system of the country that took place Thursday evening that was carried out by extremist right-wing sectors in the country, according to the Venezuelan government."

So far, 52 members of Congress have cosponsored H.R. 1004; to prevent any unauthorized military action in Venezuela. Is your representative one of the cosponsors?

There will be a march in D.C. on March 16th to demand the U.S. keeps its #HandsOffVenezuela.

I don't know what they don't say but I can tell you what YOU don't say.
It's not sabotage and every Venezuelan knows it.
This crisis has been 20 years in the making and was caused by corruption and ineptitude of Chavez and Maduro’s governments.
Sabotage has been used as excuse multiple times. Only minor incidents of theft have been documented (it happens in all 3rd world countries). They have also blamed lizards, rats and various other animals.
In 2013, the Vzlan. National Engineers College (which represents all engineers in the country) debunked the sabotage calling it an impossibility.

Yet, the repairs and improvements required to keep up with the demand were not done. reason? Corruption and theft by members of Chavismo ruling elite.

Chavez was supposed to be working on this issue since 2010 (or so he said)
