I have been very busy, lots going on. Should have written more than about any of these topics
–El Salvador denies political asylum to two former cops being accused for the being the “intellectual authors” of the murders during the march of April 11th. 2002. Those on video shooting were freed, but these guys are jailed for them. Of course, no attention ahs been paid to the statements made by two Generals under oath at the National Assembly that the Attorney General, who is supposed to be in charge of protecting the rights of everyone, was present at a meeting three days earlier in which using weapons against the marchers was discussed. Clearly Chávez used oil as a weapon to convince El Salvador of this decision. Long live imperialism!
-Hugo Chavez dedicated his human rights prize to Arafat. So much for being anti-terrorism. Don’t forget his almost love letter to Carlos The Jackal in 1998. Who believes him?
-Is it true that 500 Cuban doctors sent to Venezuela have defected? This is what two of them say in Miami. They claim they have been treated well by Venezuelans, both Government an opposition, but not by their Cuban overseers who would not allow them out after 5 PM. They also said some of them fake health data and treat Colombian terrorists.
-The Attorney General files suit in front of the Venezuelan Supreme Court to have it reconsider the decision on whether there was or not a coup in April 2002. This is double jeopardy, prohibited in Venezuela, but nothing stops this sad figure of the revolution. Actually, some suggest then charging Chavez again for the deaths in the 1992 coup for which he was pardoned.
-The new Venezuelan and Government owned airline “Conviasa” did not get off the ground on Nov. 28th as promised. They are starting just like the old Government airlines.
-An analyst is being charged for saying that the recall vote was fraudulent on TV. Will they ever get to this blog?
-The new penal code introduces the novel concept that any act is a terrorist act if it can be “presumed” that the act was made to create confusion in the population. Is this the end of political oppsoitoopn? The terrorism bill also pretends to introduce life sentences in Venezuela which is not permitted by the Venezuelan Constitution (Curiously the mother of Antonio Lopez Castillo was criticized heavily when she proposed life sentences in the 90’s as a Congresswoman.
-A former Minister of the Interior in Colombia says in today’s El Nacional Venezuela is a Dictatorship. He says: “A dictatorship is nothing but the concentration of power in one hand. When in one hand all powers are concentrated we have a dictatorship. ….We used to see the Electoral Board and said: “This is a joke”. Chavez is the owner of all powers…When there is only one voice, one power, one force. What do you have? A dictatorship.
-Henrique Capriles was indicted for the third time by a busy Attorney general’s office, this time for removing some road signs.
-In the case of the Fort Mara soldiers who burnt, there are finally indictments: Three doctors who took care of one of the soldiers and a soldier that was inside the cell. Such clear Justice!
The Devil's Excrement
