The Devil's Excrement

It was a day for the worst type of cynicism and farsical statements to come out of the Government:

—Minister of Communications Chacon: “Those who are not in agreement will have to leave CANTV”

I guess the ethnic cleansing of CANTV has begun, in the spirit of Chavista democarcy: Dissent is not allowed! Why not use th Maisanta/Chavez list, it will be faster and more efficient.

—Former Vice-President Jose Vicente Rangel on the impunity of the deaths of April 11th. 2002: “The characteristic of Venezuelan Justice is impunity”

Said with the true irresponsability of a man that spent seven and a half years in the Chavez Government, inclduing being the Vice-President when the “Truth Comission” to determine the responsabilities of the deaths of April 11th. 2002 was squashed by the Government in which he was second only to Chavez.

—Deputy Tascon: “the media will be investigated for the events of April 11, 2002”

I think that he wants to investigate the the wrong type of shooting.

—Hugo Chavez: “On April 11th. 2002, the dead one had a name and it was me”

Sure Hugo, dream on! They had so many chances to kill you, remember you wanted to leave the country and they did not let you? You wanted Cuba, Fidel suggested Mexico? Remember the name of the Cardinal and Bishop you called and they went there to protect and “confess” you? The “dead ones’ have names and they are buried, so do the injured, but all we know is that you were the force driving the killings, you activated fascist Plan Avila, but nobody has been found guilty of these crimes, even those taped shooting at the crowd.

—Luisa Ortega, Director of the Prosecutors Office: “We did not investigate Lucas Rincon, because nobody denounced him”

Jeez, how cynical can you get! The man that told all of Venezuela on national TV, backed by the Army Chiefs of Staff, that Chavez had resigned, the man who got the ball rolling that night, the highest ranking military in the Chavez Government that day, who later surfaced as Minister of Defense, much later as Minister of Justice and today is an Ambassador for the country and he was not investigated because “nobody” denounced him? Gimme a f…. break!
