The Devil's Excrement

While I
was away, an accident took place in the Las Mercedes area of Caracas.
A high speed motorcycle went by a police post, hit the sidewalk at high
speed and rooled over. A woman riding the motorcycle with teh driver
died and the driver of the motorcycle fell and
hurt himself sufficiently to spend some time in intensive care and he
remains
hospitalized to this day.

In any
country an accident like this would be investigated with diligence and the
driver of the motorcycle would be charged with involuntary manslaughter. The
driver would be sentenced according to whether it is determined that the driver
acted irresponsibly or not, after interviewing the witnesses of the accident.

But not in
the Chavez revolution, which protects its own in the face of corruption,
immorality and reckless behavior. The driver of the motorcycle, a police
vehicle according to witnesses, was none other than former stripper, turned
Head if the intelligence police, head of the training institute INCE and now
President of the National Land Institute Eliecer Otaiza, the same one that has
built his own modern and complete personal gym at each and everyone of the
institutions he has presided, none of which he had any prior qualifications
for.

You see,
none of
the witnesses have been interviewed and by now investigators have determined
that none of what they saw that fateful night is correct. According to the
conclusions of the police (the same one that killed the kids in Barrio Kennedy)
Otaiza and the woman were both run over by a “phantom car” and the Attorney
General ahs even suggested (please hold your laughter) that the whole incident
may simply have been a terrorist attempt on Otaiza’s life!

You see,
the accident was on June23d. none of the witnesses has been interviewed
including the municipal police of Baruta, thus the case will simply be filed. What
is most interesting is what witnesses say. Watchman Victor Manuel Vargas is
glad that he has not been interviewed: “I am not crazy. That man knocked himself
over by himself I saw that he was riding a police motorcycle from the back part
of the seat and now they say that he was driving a BMW, as if it was all a
mirage”

The
reporters that showed up at the scene of the accident also say they were victims
of a mirage. The role of a second car was apparently kept secret that night,
the body of the woman was removed before the coroner showed up, illegal in
Venezuelan legislation and everything was taken away in a very short time.

Oh yeah! I
forgot, it was determined that Otaiza was no driving under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. What else do you expect from a revolutionary?

Somehow the
words scruples, ethics and morality are not part of the revolutionary language.
But protecting those that show unfailing loyalty to the almighty leader is
among the priorities of the revolution. Ask Otaiza or all of the corrupt people
in the Government, the military and PDVSA.
