Was this a warning?

November 29, 2004

Peaceful Venezuelans are now caught between an outlaw Government and the presence of radical groups reacting to the actions of this Government. Below you will find an obituary published in local newspaper El Nacional a week before the Anderson murder:

In memoriam


Claus Shenk Von Stauffenberg


Veteran of the Afrika Corps and Colonel of the Wehrmacht


On the sixtieth anniversary of the summary execution by nazi fanatics of the author of the failed attempt by bombing against Adolph Hitler in his Rastemburg bunker in Eastern Prussia, that had it been consummated would have advanced the end of World War II, saving the lives of millions of soldiers and civilians in the countries under conflict and preventing more suffering of the great German people. The free men of Venezuela honor his memory and salute his gesture of legitimate social defense, which arises from its historical context as a valid model in the fight against tyrannies of whatever ideological sign.

“The most beautiful of actions is to kill a tyrant”


Cicero


“There is no better offering to the Gods than the life of a tyrant”


Seneca


“He who for the liberation of his country kills the tyrant is praised and obtains rewards”


St. Thomas Aquinas


Make what you want out of this. Except for who was killed, this seemed like a warning of things to come, even if I did not understand it at the time.


Day by day, things are looking worse and worse for our poor country.

Jewish educational and cultural center raided

November 29, 2004

Intelligence police raided this morning Hebraica,a Jewish educational and cultural facility in the East of Caracas. The raid was carried out just as 1,500 kids were arriving for school. The raid is reportedly related to the Anderson case. The police have left the premises and there is no information as to whether they found anything or not.


The Minister of Justice said that they were looking for weapons related to the Anderson cae, which they did not find. Curious how when pro-Chavez urban guerilla groups are shown on TV with high caliber weapons, such as the Carapaicas and the Tupamaros, nothing happens, but they are so quick to raid a jewish school and are so sennsitive to do it just as the kids are arriving. No bias here…


An excellent post from Daniel’s blog

November 29, 2004

This post from Daniel’s blog is too good not to reproduce, excellent Daniel! It clearly shows the true colors of this fake revolution. This is hate, discrimination and the preferential treatment the revolution gives to its own:


A picture is worth a thousand words


 


I could not resist making this picture montage. One from El Nacional, one from Tal Cual via Globovision and the last one from Union Radio.

The picture on the front page of El Nacional raises quite a few questions. On that picture you can see as Otoniel Guevara, just arrested as a suspect in the many facets of the
Anderson affair, is taken into custody.




Two days earlier the parents of Lopez Castillo were taken into custody themselves. Two elderly people, handcuffed to each other. A very visible security threat. Even though the old lady is allowed to keep her hand bag (where a small grenade could well be hidden) and the elderly gentleman is carrying a bottle (that could well be a Molotov coktail).

Now, why such a different treatment? These two people had just lost their only child a few hours before (note that they still manage to wear dark clothing). The above one used to be a “colleague” in the security forces of
Venezuela.

So Jesse? Any logical explanation?

Two new blooms

November 28, 2004



The first three pictures are of a Cyrropetalum Elizabeth Ann. The four flowers are five to six inches long. I ahd a hard time taking the picture as different flowers would reflect differently. Still not happy with the result. The second picture on the top right, shows a detail of the upper part of the flowers. The third picture, bottom left, shows one flower up close. The pinkish area in the middle sort of flotas and swings up and down. A true beauty. Bottom right, a Venezuelan species Cattleya Lueademaniana Clint McCade x Raga, which I got from Armando Mantellini.

How we are perceived

From cartoonist Mingote in Madris’ ABC:



If more Venezuelan Caudillos keep coming here, you and I are going to be out of a job.


(Note: I have added some orchid pictures today in that section, needed something fresh to relax a little)
