Venezuela's Political Disaster - January 4, 2008

Dear Journalists,

Following Journalist Nelson Bocaranda's opinion article published in El Universal yesterday, Chavez replaced the Vice President Jorge Rodriguez as reported by the following press article:

President Hugo Chávez announces a cabinet reshuffle
http://english.eluniversal.com/2008/01/04/en_pol_art_president-hugo-chave_04A1284539.shtml

Sadly, there are a lot of rumors concerning the new VP which would not make a good move to stop corruption.

Next please find link to 900+ questions asked by several journalists to Chavez concerning all his marathon speeches promises, money that can not be found, crime, and other issues that need to be clarified. These questions were originally published by
www.noticierodigital.com, but were lost after technical difficulties:

Venezuelans need help from developed countries and organizations to restore democracy and stop corruption.

Revised: Venezuela's Political Disaster - January 3, 2008

Dear Journalists,

Venezuela's Vice President and former head of the Venezuelan electoral council (Consejo National Electoral), Jorge Rodriguez, suffered a very bad car accident on August 2007 as reported by El Universal in the attached link:

http://www.eluniversal.com/2006/08/02/ccs_art_02472A.shtml

Today, Venezuelan Journalist Nelson Bocaranda in his opinion column Runrunes reports that the Audi vehicle that Mr. Rodriguez was driving belongs to the attorney Moises Maionica who is currently detained in Florida in relation to the US$800,000 scandal:

Updated: Venezuela's Political Disaster - January 2, 2008

Dear Journalists,

Happy and Prosperous New Year 2008!

It seems that the FARC hostages' crisis is worst than expected. The three year old child born in captivity was allegedly moved to Bogota about a year ago suffering malaria and a broken arm as reported by
www.france2.fr:

http://jt.france2.fr/20h/

The Venezuelan press reports that the alleged child's family is having DNA tests done to verify if the child is theirs:

What is more frustrating is that Chavez's in his deranged mind seems to have sovereignty wrong, who are the good guys wrong, and just his infamous revolution has turned out as Venezuelans had long ago said as the ROBOlution where characters with no scruples live off with the Venezuelans' money. As are the rumors about also infamous Kischners who have allegedly received US$800,000 a week for several months and who were helping Chavez recuperate the hostages. Please read my blog posting dated August 11, 2007 for details.

What in the world was movie director Oliver Stone doing in the hostages case. Hopefully, Mr. Stone is very smart and has seen who Chavez really is, and may question why the hundreds of other hostages were not released including former political candidate Ingrid Betancourt. Please watch Chavez's demeanor in the following pictures:

Next please find link to opinion article written by Ambassador Adolfo Taylhardat concerning the FARC hostages. Please know that because of newspaper deadlines this article was submitted prior to the events that took place over the weekend. There are rumors that the FARC asked Chavez to shut up! !Por que no te callas que estás perjudicando la operación".

Explotando sufrimiento ajeno

In related matters, those who have seen Chavez's FARC link in Venezuela, Piedad Córdoba, claim that the former senator is receiving extreme VIP security from Chavez. I wonder how much all of these expenses add to.

There are many questions to be answered, and Venezuelans need the help of international developed countries and organizations to restore democracy and get rid of corruption.

Cordially,
