Some straight forward questions on the legality of the proposed Constitutional reform

October 21, 2007

Questions on the Constitutional reform that no rational person can answer the way Chavismo pretends to do it:
 
—Don’t
the redefinitions of the Republic as a Socialist State, which now will
be a centralized one and the indefinite reelection, imply fundamental
changes to the Constitution, which require a Constituent Assembly (see Art. 342)?
 
—Since
25 new articles were not part of the first and second discussions of
the proposed reform, as they were introduced after the second
discussion, doesn’t this mean that they have to go back and begin the
process with a first discussion (see Art. 343)?
 
—The
original argument to why the reform should be voted as a block, was
that Chavez’ proposal was a single unit and could thus not be voted in
parts. Doesn’t this mean that now that the Assembly has introduced 25
new and separate articles that argument is no longer valid?
 
—Since the Constitution guarantees the “progressivity” of human rights (Art. 19), i.e. no right can be reduced, can the reform of Art. 337 be legal?
 
Given
these four items, isn’t the proposed Constitutional reform totally and
absolutely illegal and thus constitutes a coup de etat against the
current Constitution, using the favorite language of Chavismo?

Random things, all read today…

October 21, 2007

Random quotes read today, a very rainy day in Caracas:
 
—“Decree:
 
Unique Article
 
Let
it be declared starting today a state of exception in all of the
territory of the Republic, assuming this Junta the quality of Commander
in Chief which will operate the emergency.”
 
Signed Augusto Pinochet, September 18th. 1973. The rest the deaths, the tortures and the disappearances is, as they say, history.
 
—“In
the terrible history of famines in the world, no substantial famine has
ever occurred in any independent an democratic country with a
relatively free press. We cannot find exceptions to this rule, no
matter where we look”
 
Amartya San, Nobel Prize in Economics.
 
—“The
data points to three important characteristics influencing growth: (1)
the extent of competition domestically, and, especially for developing
nations, the extent of country’s openness to trade and its integration
with the rest of the world; (2) the quality of a country’s institutions
that make an economy work, and (3) the success of its policy makers in
implementing measures necessary for macroeconomic stability.”
 
Alan Greenspan in “The Age of Turbulence”
 
—“I
was particularly distressed by evidence that despite the indisputably
bad economic outcomes of populist policies undertaken by almost all
Latin American governments at one time or another since the end of
World War II, these results had not seemed to dampen the impulse to
resort to economic populism.”
 
Alan Greenspan in “The Age of Turbulence”
 
—“We are drowning in the Devil’s Excrement”
 
Juan Pablo Perez Alfonso, 1975

One Rodriguez scolds the other, who backtracks, as both defend the indefensible

October 20, 2007
Well, I guess that I was very wrong in thinking
Isaias had been ordered to speak against the reform of Article 337 of
the Venezuelan Constitution. In fact, now Isaias says he did not say
what even the press release from his office says he stated about due
process in the proposed reform of the Venezuelan Constitution. And in
the best tradition of the doublespeak of the revolution he suggests his
statements were twisted with some obscure purpose by the media.

But
I guess it was twisted by the Government itself, which also reads the
press releases from the General prosecutor’s office and the Chief
Fascist Jorge Rodriguez recriminated the Prosecutor for what he said.
He called him short sighted and defended the reform.

The
Vice President then proceeded to speak on the defense of human rights,
saying that never in the country’s history have human rights been as
protected as they are in Hugo Chavez’ Government. Perhaps suffering the
death of his father at the hands of the authorities has given the VP
this distorted view of history, but the truth is that in these eight
years there have been more deaths and injuries form political
demonstrations than in any eight year period of the country’s modern
history. And Rodriguez has never said anything about it. In
fact, never were the rights of free speech as threatened as they have
been under Hugo Chávez. But the VP should remember that maybe one day
Jose Vilas Jr. will come back to haunt him, asking him what was
difference between Rodriguez’ and his own dead father.

And
while the VP spoke, those same human rights that he defends were under
fire by the authorities as thousands of Podemos militants were \u003ca href\u003d\”http://www.eltiempo.com.ve/noticias/default.asp?id\u003d128222\” target\u003d\”_blank\” onclick\u003d\”return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)\”\>over and over\u003c/a\> by the National guard all across Venezuela as they attempted to join their leaders in a protests against the Constitutional reform. Thus, massive violations of rights by the same Government that Rodriguez presides from the Vice-President’s office took place yesterday and neither he, nor the People’s Ombudsman have yet to show their face criticizing the actions. Remarkably, they were violating the rights of people who have supported the robolution for eight long years and are only trying to say they disagree in this reform and not on the “process” itself. \u003c/div\>\u003cdiv\> \u003c/div\>\u003cdiv\>But very quickly they came out to condemn \u003ca href\u003d\”http://www.noticierodigital.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t\u003d270649\” target\u003d\”_blank\” onclick\u003d\”return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)\”\>the destruction of the monument\u003c/a\> placed by Rodriguez himself in the Pico del Aguila a couple of weeks ago in order to honor that paradigm of murder and terrorism on innocent civilians named Ernesto Che Guevara.

//–>harassed over and over
by the National guard all across Venezuela as they attempted to join
their leaders in a protests against the Constitutional reform. Thus,
massive violations of rights by the same Government that Rodriguez
presides from the Vice-President’s office took place yesterday and
neither he, nor the People’s Ombudsman have yet to show their face
criticizing the actions. Remarkably, they were violating the rights of
people who have supported the robolution for eight long years and are
only trying to say they disagree in this reform and not on the
“process” itself.

But very quickly they came out to condemn the destruction of the monument
placed by Rodriguez himself in the Pico del Aguila a couple of weeks
ago in order to honor that paradigm of murder and terrorism on innocent
civilians named Ernesto Che Guevara. But the people of El Paramo are as
tired of this as a majority of Venezuelans, even those, like Podemos,
who support the dumb revolution.

I you can only
wonder when they say how useful the suspension of due process and
information would have been in 2002, if they have really even taken the time to think about it. I guess Chavez could have invoked that suspension on that fateful day, then
repressive Plan Avila would have been activated in full and rather than
two dozen deaths and over one hundred injured, there would have been
hundreds and thousands of each.

Of course, we
would probably not know about it, because much like they did with the
deaths caused by Chavismo that day, remember the truth commission, they would have hidden and blocked
all of the information about it, but this time with full backing of the Constitution. And VTV and Chavez would have told us their ¨truth¨ about it. I guess the last part is still true. even if it was not then part of the Constitution.

Change of heart or order from above?

October 19, 2007
Interesting, the Shameless Attorney
General/Prosecutor Isaias Rodriguez, who had earlier backed the
suspension of due process and the elimination of the right of
information, changes his mind and comes back saying now that he
disagrees with it. Rodriguez now says that due process is an absolute
right, which cannot be restricted and corrects all of the claims by the
ignorant Deputies who were saying the right of information could be
eliminated in the 1961 Constitution.
 
I mean, Mr. Rodriguez has gone from expressing satisfaction at the proposed changes two days ago, to exactly the opposite tonight.
 
What gives?
 
Some
of you may think Government officials in Venezuela have the
intellectual and judicial consistency of Tapioca, which is true…
 
Or that Rodriguez in the last days as Prosecutor, thought about it and changed his mind, which is possible but unlikely…
 
Or that he changed his mind. Is there any brain there to do that?
 
No, this is an order from somewhere way up above. All the way to the top,  to
the autocrat. By tomorrow, other Chavistas will be siding with the
prosecutor. They will use the words “rights”, the “people”, “democracy”
and the like. All of the things that have not been said, but should
have been said, since the now infamous proposal to change article 337
of the Constitution.
 
Why?
 
Who
knows? Either a poll says that this is not popular or international
reaction ahs been negative or this clouds the possibility of the easy
approval the Government wanted. In any case, there has been a change of
heart and the Prosecutor, this sad character, this overly dependent
Head of an independent power was charged with announcing the change of
heart. \u003cdiv\> \u003c/div\>\u003cdiv\>Of course, nothing is said about the other illegalities and violations of the Constitution. They follow orders, not morals, ethics or principles.\u003c/div\>\u003c/div\>”,0]

Of
course, nothing is said about the other illegalities and violations of
the Constitution. They follow orders, not morals, ethics or principles.

Good news: We have sardines!

October 18, 2007


Watching the Red Sox game, I have little time to even think, I am deep into my irrational life. So, I leave you with this chart from Datanalisis of a poll of markets and supermarkets. The red line is how many did not have a product the third week in October, compared to April in blue. So, 75% have no milk, 51% no sugar, 43% meat, 40% corn oil. Funny, these are precisely the top Government’s priorities in agriculture.

The good news: Plenty of sardines…I guess Chavez has not been able to take over the seas…

More autocratic democracy today

October 17, 2007

Pro-Chavez party Podemos is suffering the consequences of sticking
to its principles and trying to run an independent political line form
the Government. Podemos’ argument is absolutely correct
in that they say the National Assembly is violating the Venezuelan
Constitution, because by now they are considering two separate Constitutional reform projects
in its third discussion: The first one is Chavez’ which was part of the
first and second discussion and consulted with the people, even if it
was done in arbitrary fashion, while the second one is that cooked up
suddenly by the Assembly, which are 25 new articles, not discussed in
the first two discussions, and which are being sneaked in into the third
discussion without discussing their content or even titles as very clearly specified
in the Venezuelan Constitution.
 
The Podemos argument is
correct, the Assembly could have modified articles to make them
consistent with Chavez’ proposal, but not by introducing major
modifications like it is now trying to do. In fact, the main argument
brought forward by Chavismo, when it was suggested that the referendum
be voted in parts was that Chavez’ proposal was an integral one and
since he was proposing it he also had the right to ask that it all be voted
all at once. All of these arguments, which were spurious in that
context anyway, have now been invalidated. There is no “single”
proposal to vote on anymore and their earlier reading of Article 344 of the Venezuelan Constitution is now a moot argument.
 
Podemos
was punished today for their dissidence, with the President of the
National Assembly arguing they were out of order, as they would get up
on each article not proposed by Chavez and say that this was
unconstitutional. Deputy Molina was simply shut up by Ms. Flores in the
best expression of the sad state of democracy in Venezuela, when a
Parliament composed only of Chavez’ supporters does not even allow a
discussion among themselves. Even Deputy Paez, who is not from Podemos,
stormed out of the Capitol building when Ms. Flores denied her the
right to speak. \u003cdiv\> \u003c/div\>\u003cdiv\>Podemos was being encouraged to vote in favor of articles repeatedly by various Chavista Deputies, but they refused to budge. When told they were betraying those that voted them in, Deputy Ismael Garcia said that they did not vote him in to violate the Constitution. When told that if he did not vote for the next article he would have proven he had jumped sides, Garcia said that he would not allow them to blackmail him with these arguments. In the end Podemos was told that they were not even going to be given the right to say anything anymore.\u003c/div\>\u003cdiv\> \u003c/div\>\u003cdiv\>Thus, as Chavismo continues to talk about more\u003cspan\> \u003c/span\>“democracy” and “participation”, they continue to approve articles not only in illegal fashion, but also in a very fascist manner, refusing to discuss anything. But even worse, the contents of what is being approved imply less democracy, fewer rights and less freedom, as I discussed a few days ago. At the same time they also are making actions like calling a recall referendum more difficult and even restricting what questions a referendum may call for. \u003c/div\>\u003cdiv\> \u003c/div\>\u003cdiv\>And then, of course, there is the ultimate fascist act, the illegal introduction of the new article removing rights in a state of exception, which is also illegal because it violates international law, as well as being illegal because the Venezuelan Constitution guarantees the “progresividad” of human rights. That is, you can give more rights to the people, but you can’t reduce them.\u003c/div\>\u003cdiv\> \u003c/div\>\u003cdiv\>Meanwhile, the cheerleading continues by the paid and unpaid supporters of the Government, which have the audacity to stick their necks out to defend the indefensible.\u003c/div\>\u003cdiv\> \u003c/div\>\u003cdiv\>Some democracy, some democrats! \u003c/div\>\u003cdiv\> \u003c/div\>\u003cdiv\> \u003c/div\>\u003cdiv\> \u003c/div\>\u003cdiv\> \u003c/div\>\u003c/div\>”,0]

these arguments. In the end Podemos was told that they were not even
going to be given the right to say anything anymore.
 
Thus, as Chavismo continues to talk about more  “democracy”
and “participation”, they continue to approve articles not only in
illegal fashion, but also in a very fascist manner, refusing to discuss
anything, even among a 100% pro-Chavez Assembly. But even worse, the contents of what is being approved imply
less democracy, fewer rights and less freedom, as I discussed a few
days ago. At the same time they also are making some actions, like calling for a
recall referendum, more difficult and even restricting what questions a
referendum may call for.
 
And then, of course,
there is the ultimate fascist act, the illegal introduction of the new
article removing rights in a state of exception, which is also illegal
because it violates international law, as well as being illegal because
the Venezuelan Constitution guarantees the “progresividad” of human
rights. That is, you can give more rights to the people, but you can’t
reduce them.
 
Meanwhile, the cheerleading
continues by the paid and unpaid supporters of the Government, which
have the audacity to stick their necks out to defend the indefensible.

What do they call this? Autocratic democracy?

Getting something for nothing for revolutionaries in Bolivia

October 15, 2007
And speaking of non-democratic sayings, how about Chavez, so sensitive to comments about Venezuela from abroad, calling yesterday
for a guerrilla war with machine guns if the opposition in Bolivia gets
rid of Evo Morales as President. That is, if the opposition does to
Evo, exactly what Evo did to the opposition…It´s that ¨democratic-Chavista¨double standard¨agian that we have seen so many times.

But what is interesting of Chavez’ threat is who will be holding the machine guns and go to Bolivia?

—First, it can’t be the opposition; they may join the other side.

—Second,
you could send the reservists. After all they are already armed with
their AK’s, supposedly trained and even getting a salary.

—Finally,
there is another option, the one I like most, that they send all of
those that registered for Chavez’ new party PSUV, because they were
thinking they were getting something for nothing by joining, it would
seem poetic justice, if they got to be part of guerilla warfare in
Bolivia, to emulate their beloved Che Guevara. This way they will get a
first hand look what revolutions are really about. They would get their $5,000 in Cadivi foreign currency just for volunteering!

The
one person you can be sure will never show up in Bolivia is Chavez
himself, unless they build him a replica of the Military Museum for him
to hide in…

You have to love the bluffing revolution…

Another disgraceful day for democracy in Venezuela

October 15, 2007

Such is the state of the country’s democracy that not even the
National Assembly is capable of either giving or guaranteeing the
rights of the people in its own events.

Today a group of students showed up
to the meeting at Caracas’s major theatre to “openly” discuss the
proposed Constitutional Reform. They were initially told that they
could not go in because there was no space inside, which turned out to
be a major lie. Then, they were finally allowed in, which proved they
simply did not want them there. While the various articles were read,
the students applauded or booed, according to whether they agreed with
them or not. But when the now controversial Art. 337 was read, which
would eliminate due process or the right of information when a state of
exception is declared, the students booed in loudly and in unison. At
this point they were aggressively and violently attacked and forced to
leave the locale where these pseudo-democratic discussions were taking
place, showing not only what a sham the whole process is, but also what
fascists Chavismo has as leaders in the National Assembly.

Of
course, as usual, the cynical President of the National Assembly tried
to turn it around, calling the students “coup plotters” and fascists in
an attempt to hide her own acts in being unwilling and incapable of
guaranteeing the most basic democratic rights to Venezuelans. Because
we know where the fascists and coup plotters and murderers are, and
they are all in the Government.

Today, was another clear example of that…as they took advantage of it to also attack representatives of the media.

This
clearly shows hat this Government is not willing to discuss the
proposed Constitutional reform with anyone but those that fully support
and back the Government and thus will back whatever is proposed. Much
like the way they bypass the rule of law, they want to go through these
motions of “discussions” and “presentations” so that they can argue
that this improvised and illegal reform of the Constitution has been
amply discussed with the population. Instead, they prove once again
that this is simply an illegal sham to allow Chavez’ wish to hold the
Presidency of the country indefinitely.

Another non-democratic surprise is sneaked into the Constitutional reform

October 15, 2007

The most surprising thing about the
new proposal by Chavismo to suddenly insert into the proposed
Constitutional reform, the removal of due process and the right of
information whenever a state of exception were to be declared, is that
anyone was surprised by it.
 
The whole project of
the reform has been mired by illegalities, manipulation and the lack of
scruples that characterizes the robolution. From the fact that the
reform modifies fundamental principles of the Constitution, simply by
defying Venezuela as a socialist state is a very fundamental change
which would require a Constituent Assembly, to now sneaking into it,”
new” and “improved” facets, proves how the reform is being used to
please the autocrat and his comrades, and now to introduce without much
discussion concepts which will help solidify the autocracy with legal
instruments.
 
It was simply cynical of the President of the Assembly to argue
that these mechanisms would stop conspirators and couspters, a s if
people have forgotten how Chavez forced a nationwide “cadena” in 2002,
while people were being killed in the streets, attempting to illegally
withhold from the people the same right of information that he now
wants to be able to remove anytime that he unilaterally deems it
necessary.
 
The same way that the proposed reform
is unilaterally being manipulated at each step as the revolutionaries
find they want to redefined what they wish to do, irrespective of
whether it is legal or not or whether it can even be done.
 
Thus,
what began as an illegal and rigid change in the Constitution continues
to be illegal but all of a sudden Chavismo wants to introduce new
reforms, after the project was already discussed twice. These reforms
are major, thus by law, the whole project should have to be sent for a
new first discussion, but this would upset the timetable established by
the autocrat of having it approved before year’s end.
 
Similarly
the early rigidity that it was a single proposal to be considered as a
unit has now been forgotten, while retaining the desired rigidity on
how it will be approved as a unit by the “people”, all in the name of
democracy.
 
And indeed these are very dangerous
changes being inserted into the Venezuelan Constitution, but this is
nothing new, so why be surprised by it? The whole proposal is aimed at
concentrating more power on the autocrat, diminishing democratic rights
and insuring that Chavez can bend the country’s economic future into
his ill defined, unknown and certainly to be disastrous XXIst. Century
Socialism. Disastrous, because when you leave aside economic knowledge,
innovate without any basis and concentrate all decisions in the hands
of an ignorant autocrat that thinks he knows everything, nothing good can come
out at the end.
 
And thus we will go from
surprise to surprise between now and the Constitutional referendum,
after which there will be newer, better and improved surprises that
should at last wake up those that still think this is a democracy or
private property rights will be respected.

Some thoughts before leaving you alone for a few days

October 11, 2007


—- From
Instapundit, via Volvok: HEH: “Among actual scientists, in the
physical and biological sciences, the percentage who identify themselves as
Marxists is zero.”

Jeez, I guess I am programmed, it
is almost Genetic! Thanks M!

—Thanks to cheap gas and cheap
cars, you will only be
able to take your car out 4 days a week starting on Oct. 28th. in the
municipality where I live. Is this part of better “quality of life”?

—- I talked at length about
Antonini and the $800,000 suitcase, but did not know what to do with the
information that Alex del Nogal had been jailed in Italy for smuggling drugs
into Palermo. You see, Del
Nogal has been repeatedly mentioned with being close Chavista Government
officials.

But then, the Mayor of Libertador
denied being close to him, the Mayor of Caracas denied having anything to do
