Funny how easy it is to fool the international media, if I look in Google News I find at least six references to the Venezuelan Navy retaking the tanker “Pilin Leon” which its crew achored in the navigation channel of Lake Maracaibo. Well my friends, I just heard on TV the Captain of the Pilin Leon saying that he talked to the Navy and he talked to his crew and they are staying put. Nothing has changed on the status of the tanker. Nice going AP, keep talking to the Governemnt news agency for your reports!!!
The Devil's Excrement
Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.
