Venezuela's Propaganda: This is how it works

21.12.04 | No sooner had I written an editorial over the government’s funding of activism on its own behalf that the Venezuelan Information office sent out an email with the following in the subject area: “Alert! Letters Needed to the LA Times!”. Its own note at the bottom of the email claims that the Venezuela Information Office “receives its funding from the government of Venezuela.”

As I predicted yesterday, the Venezuela Information Office (or the Venezuelan government) asks people in this action alert to write letters to the Los Angeles Times after the newspaper ran what the VIO describes as “a particularly misleading and irresponsible editorial on Venezuela.” Furthermore, it claims: “It is critical that they hear from you to balance out the slanted coverage.” In other words, the Venezuelan government is asking regular citizens to write The Los Angeles Times letters in its support.

After the rather glaring “WRITE TO THE LOS ANGELES TIMES TODAY!”, the Venezuelan government then provides the email address and other pertinent information:

Venezuela has had a socialist system from day one.. To get elected there you promise for the "gop't" to give "the people" something.. else you will NOT be elected.. I wrote a payroll system for Dow Chemical in the 80's for use in Venezuela.. More complcated than New York Citys payroll..

In Venezuela its what kind of socialism not if their will be socialism.. Like of like L.A. and Mexifornia in general.. Venezuela's economy works like a the proverbial man in the bucket.. basically Economic Hillary Clintonism..

We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.~Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

"In Venezuela its what kind of socialism not if their will be socialism."

You are absolutely correct. The fact is, the entire "hispanic" world, from Central America to South America to Spain itself, has always been organized in accordance with the stifling, heavily-regulated, overly-centralized monarchical hacienda system, from the days of Columbus to the present. And prior to Columbus, jungle savagery reigned supreme. The people in these vast areas wouldn't know a free market if it bit 'em in the ass. Historically, they went from being ruled by Aztec-like killers to corrupt and privileged royal classes to being in thrall to the chaos of communism. And it has never been any different.

I read a biography of Simon Bolivar years ago, the model and namesake for Chavez's "Bolivarian Revolution". Bolivar was a half-breed (Spanish/Indian) who generaled the wars for independence for Venezuela and Columbia from Spain only to institute a repressive regime that would have made Stalin or Mao proud. And he did so by conducting a war filled with such atrocities against his own people (Indians) who wouldn't bow to his will that Hitler himself would have blanched at the mass bloodshed and utter savagery, unseen in Europe's history since the Crusades' defensive wars against Moslem butchery. Bolivar's hero was Napoleon, yet he even outdid the Spanish Army in degeneracy, teaching Napoleon's Spanish troops the horrific tactics that Goya chronicled in his "Disasters of War" drawings.

Chavez is merely todays flavor of the age-old Banana Republic thug vying for power, awash in blood, fighting to achieve dominance over other like-minded thugs and killers. And the people of Venezuela (and every other "hispanic" thugocracy) are willing participants, who aid and abet this tragic, yet unending, nightmare. These people were murdering each other in vast numbers long before the colonial era. What else is new?

Right...
Where in the world is Carmen San Diego or whatever her name was ?...
In the U.S... if she has any brains... South America is a jungle of democracy's which is MOB RULE.. ruled by mobsters all mobbed up.. Democracy is basically tribal government.. and very primitive like the gov'ts of Canada and URP.. Jungle Law; survival of the most mobbed up... Minority's are food to be cannibalized unless a servant of a bigger mob..

The U.S. Constitution is unique in all the world.. never even remotely matched.. The entire world except for the U.S. is Mob Rule.. completely and specifically.. The U.S. creating democracys in the world is huge mistake.. Socialism is only a symptom of democracy, but democracy is the disease..
