Apple and the iPad joined the Empire against Chavez

January 28, 2010

Yesterday, during the introduction of Apple’s new product the Ipad, it appeared as if the company joined the Evil Empire as millions saw the demo of the iPad showing the New York Times page and right there on the middle right side, the headline:

“Anti-Chavez channel is taken down”

If paranoid Hugo saw that picture, I am sure he would reach the same conclusion…

Of course, those on the other side feel it was the other way around, the good guys at Apple are actually on our side and wanted to show it!!!

(To M.G., thanks!)

Venezuelan Nazional Guard unveils new weapon to repress students

January 28, 2010

This week the Venezuelan Nazional Guard unveiled a new weapon in its fight to injure and hurt protesting students. As can bee seen in the picture below, Guards showed up yesterday in at least two cities of the country with a chain with hooks at the end, meant to entangle and injure the students. Such hooks are surely to tear muscle and skin and break a few bones in the process. The guards did not use their new weapons in their debut day, perhaps to their chagrin.

Respect for the “people” and their rights have truly reached a new low under Hugo Chávez
