Caracas 05.03.05 | Eva Golinger the "...attorney leading the investigation of the CIA and the US Government involvement in the coup and in the ongoing destabilization campaign in Venezuela..." [1] appears as the registrar of a legal entity (DOMESTIC NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION ) called "Venezuela Solidarity Committee" [2]. Golinger's findings about the aforesaid investigation have been posted in a website registered, according to WHOIS, by journalist Jeremy Bigwood called Venezuelafoia.info. On 07 May 2004 Golinger sent an email with the following remarks:

I do have a non-profit organization, established legally under the laws of New York State, but it has never received a penny from any government, including that of Venezuela. Any measly income the non-profit has earned has come from private donations of individuals, primarily US citizens, interested in supporting efforts to “accurately inform the US community about social and political developments related to Venezuela.” In this sense, funds from the non-profit were used to finance my webpage, www.venezuelafoia.info, and I can assure you, as an attorney, I keep clear records of all deposits, withdrawals and purchases made with funds from the non-profit. I have no interest in evading or violating regulations or hiding absolutely anything from anyone. In fact, I have nothing to hide…[bold added]

The following claim appears in the Venezuelafoia.info website:

This site is funded by the Venezuela Solidarity Committee/National Venezuela Solidarity Network ("VSC"), a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing accurate information about social and political developments in Venezuela . The VSC is funded entirely by private donations. For more information please contact:vscny@yahoo.com, or make your tax-exempt contribution through Paypal, e-mail or snailmailto keep this site running and to support VSC's other projects.

These Venezuelan Chavista Marxist scumbags are lying about their IRS status to the IRS and violating the terms of their tax exemption. They have finally been exposed through the thorough investigation of Alek Boyd, who is an experienced communist-buster. As a result, these lying communist sandalistas need to be in jail.

Tremendous.

Is Alek Boyd a tax attorney? Might make your claim more credible. Just a suggestion.

[Kitten Festival]

So you are saying only a tax attorney can say anything credible about tax law? Only a certain priesthood of the initiated? Only an inner circle? And not a determined private citizen who asks questions and seeks accountability? You know, a, like, citizen?

I do think you are a little behind the times in the age of the blogosphere takedown.

I know what Alek is, but I will let him identify himself as to whether he is an attorney or not if he so chooses.

I am not a tax attorney, nor do I claim to be a tax-expert aficionado. I am a simple man, forced into exile watching from afar how a bunch of thugs commanded by a failed putchist are destroying what once was my country.

Had I been a tax attorney Golinger probably would be doing time by now.

"destroying what once was my country"
Actually it is quite the contrary . Neo Liberal policies of the oligarchy are what have destroyed your country. Whether you like it or not this is a perfect example of democracy in action, Unfortunately for you the majority of Venezuelans' that are desperate for social change and justice have voted him into office.
