CARACAS, Venezuela: President Hugo Chávez has used his decree powers to carry out a major overhaul of this country's intelligence agencies, provoking a fierce backlash here from human rights groups and legal scholars who say the measures will force citizens to inform on one another to avoid prison terms.
Under the new intelligence law, which took effect last week, Venezuela's two main intelligence services, the DISIP secret police and the DIM military intelligence agency, will be replaced with new agencies, the General Intelligence Office and General Counterintelligence Office, under the control of Chávez.
The new law requires people in the country to comply with requests to assist the agencies, secret police or community activist groups loyal to Chávez. Refusal can result in prison terms of two to four years for most people and four to six years for government employees.
"We are before a set of measures that are a threat to all of us," said Blanca Rosa Mármol de León, a justice on Venezuela's top court, in a rare public judicial dissent. "I have an obligation to say this, as a citizen and a judge. This is a step toward the creation of a society of informers."

Memo to military: when you next conduct a coup (if ever) and have El Presidente in your clutches,
SHOOT HIM!
C'mon, that's gotta be a joke.
many nations south of the border with a few exceptions are
committing suicide.
Hugo Chavez is running a clinic on how to transform a weak democracy into a dictatorship. Do you reckon our Marx-besotted academics are taking careful notes while admiring the process?
That sounds familiar .
Stalin returns by another name. Ping.
Wait, but if you have nothing to hide...
(do I need the sarcasm tag?)
I wish to imform on citizen Hugo Chávez, he is crazy as a loon.
I lived in Communist VietNam in the ‘90’s. Each block had an unidentified Party member whose job was to watch and inform on his/her neighbors and their “disloyal” activities.
This sounds like the very same thing.
Huey’s got his shiny new Cheka and his Cuban neighborhood watch program as well. His idol Karl Marx said it best: “History repeats itself; first as tragedy, second as farce.”
Exactly!
The local Marxist totalitarians, oops I meant democrat party activists, would love to do this here.
I think Jimmy Carter must be “lusting” again(!)
Note the law requires support to “ assist the agencies, secret police or community activist groups loyal to Chávez.”
Thus deputizing all sorts of government “officials”.
Chavez is putting all the tried and true organs in place,
for you cannot have organs of internal security without
internal ENEMIES. Opposition members better dig in, it’s going to get worse.
Keep an eye on that judge, watch what happens to her.
And from StarRed Motors the 2008 Chavez!!
Place your order now and be first in line to get yours by 2022!!
Chavez is setting himself up to be the Czar of Venezuela. He'll probably end up like Russia's last Czar too.
People see footage of bustling Vietnam, bikes, cars, motorcycles, markets open, etc etc. and it surely looks like all is well. Anything changed there since you were there?
Tell tale.
If you can find the article you're talking about, I'd appreciate a ping.
Bingo!
Marxism is our nation's **most** serious and important threat. It isn't islamofascism. We can survive a nuclear suitcase bomb, but all freedom **can** be lost in the voting booth!
It is time to call the enemy what it **really** is: MARXISM!
A liberal ( and this means the Democratic Party) is never satisfied. Never. He is like a passenger on a train. Each new socialist scheme is merely a train station. The final destination is Marxism!
Last week I heard Rush Limbaugh say, in passing, that liberalism is our nation's **most** serious threat. I nearly fell out of my chair cheering! I do wish though that he would start educating his listeners. Liberal is merely a thin skin over the sausage. Marxism is the meat.
If we are going to win over Marxist tyranny then we must start calling the enemy what it is. They are not liberals, socialists, progressives, or the left. They are MARXISTS!!!! By the way, the Marxist's **most** important weapon is our schools. Our government K-12 schools, colleges, and universities are completely infiltrated and controlled by them.
American LOONS (not all inclusive)
1) Maxine Waters
2) Sheila Jackson Lee
3) Harry Reid
(4) Robert Byrd
(5)???????? Who am I missing, :-)
All of the above are Marxists. It is time we called them what they truly are.
“If you can find the article you’re talking about, I’d appreciate a ping.”
Please include me on that ping. Thanks.
Liberals could care less....as long as the free heating oil continues.
I don't believe that for a second. How could they ever prove you were speeding?
Otherwise know as: ACTO de PATRIOTA
In a Marxist world, no need for law to prove - we are the edge of Marxism. Only a tiny push and our freedoms are toast.
Let the dems in the WH o or continue to let them in majorities - and we will all reap the whirlwind.
Where's the hue and cry: "You dems got your majority in 2006 on promises you have never kept. You have ignored the peoples business and spent you time hating Bush and practicing sedition. Show us the list of things you were supposed to get down vs the list of what you got done - time to go."
Wake up, Sheeple
Oh, and here's just one instance;

Excerpt:
"Pads of Citizen Report Forms are available from the Civic Centre, the local police station, the three library branches and the Internet. A Citizen Report Dorm may be used any time you observe an act of aggressive driving. Please ensure that you include as much of the requested information as possible especially the license plate information. Your name, address and telephone number must be included on in the report. All information is kept in strict confidence.
You may use any of the drop box locations listed below. By following the procedures of the Citizen Report Form, your report will receive the attention required. Your report will be addressed by the police, as follows:
First time offenders will receive a letter from the police, warning them that a complaint has been lodge against them and that this information will be kept on file;
A second offense will merit a second letter or a telephone call from the police, depending on the severity of the incident;
A subsequent offense will result in a personal visit from the police and possible charges. "

Wake up, Sheeple.
This is how they are implementing Marxism: one drop at a time - and people don't take notice. Come the time they spring the trap, it's too late.
So go ahead, let the dims back in the WH - Stick yours noses in the air and don't vote for McCain - (not directing this at you guys, but the Sheeple who are in the raised-nose group)
You do realize that that’s a Canadian site and not the US of A, don’t you?
