VENEZUELA LEADER: WILL USE NEW ASSEMBLY TO GO AFTER FOES

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- President Nicolas Maduro is pledging to go after his political foes with the virtually unlimited powers of a constitutional assembly that his backers will select Sunday as his opponents wage a last-ditch battle to halt what they call the replacement of Venezuelan democracy with a single-party authoritarian system. 

Maduro indicated he is eager to prosecute many more members of the opposition parties that control a handful of state governments along with the National Assembly, providing one of the few remaining checks on the power of the socialist party that has ruled this OPEC nation for nearly two decades. 

"The right wing already has its prison cell waiting," the president said. "All the criminals will go to prison for the crimes they've committed."

DYI: 

If Maduro is able to secure his socialist/communist party nullifying any opposition what occurs next is the purging of the intelligencia class as their organizational skills pose a threat to his rule.  This will be accomplished by a creation of a police state to imprison and outright murder dissenters.  Many have already fled to other countries and if Maduro is successful the mass exodus will go into overdrive.

DYI
