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.

The Devil's Excrement 
October 21, 2011 at 9:23 pm
Poor Gadafi, I will cry so much for your end… :), who is the next dictator on the list???
October 23, 2011 at 9:47 pm
Hopefully, el Chabestia mesmo!!
October 21, 2011 at 1:47 pm
Miguel I can’t see the video

Don’t forget the Gadhafi Human Rights Award that was given the Chavez. Chavez was actually proud of receiving this award. Since then Chavez has worked diligently on upholding Gadhafi’s standards of human rights in Venezuela.

Chavez´s planned a triumphal return from Cuba but was upstaged by his dear´
friend´s demise. That must have hurt!
October 21, 2011 at 11:03 am
Hurt? It must be embarrassing as hell to have your friend caught hiding in a sewer like a scared rat. Better to be caught hiding in a museum.
October 22, 2011 at 10:38 am
Its fitting because that’s where outmoded ideas like communism and Chavezmo belong, in a museum.

Loroferoz,
Seppuku is an HONORABLE death.
How dare you insult all the men and women who performed seppuku by wishing Gadaffi to be at their side?
October 23, 2011 at 5:03 am
Agreed Japanese warriors who performed seppuku would be disgusted and annoyed by Ghaddafi in the afterlife even more than he disgusted and annoyed us in this life.

Google may have answered my question for me. Is the necklace also part of the Order of the Liberator?
October 21, 2011 at 10:58 am
yes, it is given for the highest degree, the lower ones only get a medal
October 21, 2011 at 7:27 am
What is the necklace with all the medallions in it?
October 21, 2011 at 10:55 am
Our country´s highest condecoration: The Orden del Libertador. Before Ch this condecoration was prized by those wh received it, now it has been very devaluated!
October 22, 2011 at 12:23 pm
That’s what it used to be. Now it’s rapper bling.

As a Marxist I do find it strange that many on the so called Left supported Qaddafi to begin with after 42 years of autocratic rule and repression.He banned trade unions, left parties, supported wars in other countries and many times was a lackey for British, French, Italian and US imperialism.
The bureaucracy in Venezuela made a mistake in calling him a anti-imperialist and has conducted their foreign policy like any other capitalist country with the idea that “the enemy of my enmey is my friend” and and not proletarian internationalism.
I am sure at some point in time the grassroots and workers will take control and bring forward real socialist policies at home and abroad!
October 21, 2011 at 8:02 am
“As a Marxist…”
Are those still around? I thought they were nearly extinct.
October 21, 2011 at 8:07 am
Yeah. Amazing, isn’t it?
Read this again: “at some point in time the grassroots and workers will take control and bring forward real socialist policies at home and abroad!”
The guys are mostly atheists but they really sound like Jehova witnesses…it’s just another religion, no debate, no open discussion.

>>>The guys are mostly atheists but they really sound like Jehova witnesses…it’s just another religion, no debate, no open discussion.<<<
No, their god is Karl Marx. Their religion is Communism. Their trinity is the Collective. Their apostles are Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, et al. Their inquisition is the Cheka. Like many religions, they are happy to sacrifice millions of humans to their god.
No resemblance whatsoever to atheists.

Who said Chavez was leftist? Chavez is Chavista, period.
October 21, 2011 at 8:43 am
That’s exactly right.
October 21, 2011 at 9:32 am
Chavez is an opportunist, he’ll use whatever benefits him.
October 21, 2011 at 9:53 am
100 % agree.
October 23, 2011 at 5:01 am
Chavez has called himself a Maoist (In China) a follower of Mandela (In South Africa), Martin Luther King, a social democrat, a Marxist, a communist… he is a mirror reflecting whatever audience he is speaking to.
October 23, 2011 at 9:44 pm
No, ALL of you are wrong (sorry, guys). Chávez is……an ASSHOLE!! And not just that, but…..he’s an ASSHOLE of the WORST KIND!!!!
October 23, 2011 at 9:46 pm
NicaCat, a woman after my own heart!
October 21, 2011 at 6:08 am
In memoriam? It should be “in forget um” as soon as possible. The African King of Kings is dead meat. Found cowering in a rat hole like Saddam Hussein. Well done Libyans!
October 21, 2011 at 3:32 am
I am still hoping those swords will be used for a worthy purpose by at least one of their recipients: To perform 切腹 (seppuku / harakiri).
October 20, 2011 at 11:52 pm
He will be missed. Great fight.
Next will be U.S. Government!
October 20, 2011 at 11:04 pm
Ummm, was he born in Tripoli?
October 20, 2011 at 10:43 pm
I know this is way off topic, but the sporting world just witnessed another great Venezuelan shortstop (campo corto), Elvis Andrus, who deserves MVP recognition in game 2 of the world series for the Texas Rangers. He is but the latest of a long list of stellar Criollos at that position, i.e Chico Carrasquel, Luis Aparicio (Sala de Honor), David Concepcion, Ozzie Guillen, e Omar Vizquel.
October 23, 2011 at 4:54 am
He is an impressive shortstop, hopefully he will put in such a performance in game 4,5 and 6.
October 20, 2011 at 10:26 pm
What a spectacle- a bunch of brain-washed chavistas in red-
they had no idea what they were doing-forgive them for their
utter stupidity.
This is not the people of Venezuela- just a hand-picked group
of absolute morons wallowing in Chavez’s infection.
