Chavez has just said he is not a communist… Is he already in campaign?

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.
it seems that the plan of the “Oficialismo” is already under way. After the president of the CNE went on TV to “denounce” the use of forged documents (cloned, they are saying, but that doesn’t make sense) to ratify signatures, officers from the intelligence police have been going to houses near the reparo centers in order to investigate whether there are Clonation centers. Can they do this wholesale? If you, like me and millions other, thought that the strategy of the Planillas planas was an act of desperation, be prepared. The plan now is similar to those used in previous dictatorships to avoid elections. Do not be surprised if the whole process is declared Null & void.

Hearing the president of the CNE it is impossible not to be suspicious. Every single thing he says is against the opposition he has said things like: “People going to ratify their signatures with forged ID documents” Not retire their signatures, Not presumably forged. Every case he denounces is against the opposition. Knowing of over 600 cases of irregularities against the opposition, one can’t help it but think the worst from this asshole.

I just heard Ramos Allup from Acción Democratica (live, not on TV) saying that a lot more people than thought had retired their signatures (that is had gone to the centers to say that they didn’t sign), hence, the numbers may not add up. He said textually: “It is better not to have high hopes.” This may be a trick to get more people to ratify their signatures, but his face didn’t show that.
