Here is the video of the closing of RCTV (in Spanish but you don't need to understand Spanish to understand the meaning of the gags). And here is a video of the tyrant of Venezuela threatening journalists (with captions). He is so vulgar. It is disgusting. And if you can stomach it, here is a video of chavistas harassing and intimidating Globalvision before the closing down of RCTV (in Spanish). Globalvision is now the last private news TV station in Venezuela. RCTV was replaced by TVes, a state run propaganda channel.

A couple of days ago protesters were marching under a banner that chavistas put up that said "Chávez garantiza la libertad de expresión" (Chávez guarantees the freedom of expression). Like any communist, Chávez defines right as wrong and slavery as freedom.

I just watched Primer Impacto’s coverage of this and it is ugly. Hugito’s Storm Troopers used not only rubber bullets and tear gas, but fire-hosed the demonstrators as well. Regardless of what they used against the demonstrators, many, many people were injured. I can’t help but think, perhaps it’s wishful thinking, that the military will at some point turn on him. Meanwhile, where is the CIA when it’s needed?
