Venezuela's Political Disaster - July 5, 2008

Dear Journalists,

Still amazed about the fantastic rescue of Ingrid Betancourt, and other hostages including three Americans, I am pleased to add the link below written by Washington Post Columnist David Ignatius:

http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/postglobal/david_ignatius/2008/07/ingrid_betancourt_what_fearles.html

While most of us are elated by the excellent news of the long awaited rescue of hostages there are still about 700 FARC hostages including many Venezuelans. In the meantime, there is anger, and frustration by disinformation released by Chavez's officials as reported earlier in my blog.

Next link is to opinion article "Venezuela - autopista de la droga" written by Ambassador Adolfo Taylhardat commenting about the Telegraph article published last week "Hugo Chavez's Venezuela 'supplies half of Britain's cocaine:"

Chavez reacted calling the long needed resuming of sailing of the US Navy Fourth Fleet in Latin American seas a threat. Why would Chavez call a threat the prevention of crime?

Venezuelans need help from developed governments and international organizations to restore democracy and end corruption.

Links clarifying disinformation July 5, 2008

The following links are circulating the Internet in order to refresh peoples' memories, and point out recent disinformation allegedly released by Chavez's supporters:

Esta mañana, en el programa de Miguel Angel Rodríguez dijo: "En la primera parte de la conversación abordaron el tema de las FARC y el ELN y la intención de Chávez de retirarles el calificativo de organizaciones terroristas. Baduel afirmó que “siempre fue partidario de declarar enemiga a la guerrilla si violaban el territorio venezolano”. Baduel aclaró este tema y dijo que, durante su gestión en la FAN y el Ministerio de la Defensa, nunca tuvo conocimiento de que la guerrilla hubiera penetrado en territorio venezolano.

¿Será que es el único venezolano que no sabía esto?. ¿Será que no se enteró de las pruebas que tiene la FAN?.

Venezuela's Political Disaster - July 1, 2008

Dear Journalists,

Chavez continues to abuse human rights of Venezuelan citizens. Earlier today Army General Angel Vivas was imprisoned for questioning the abusive use of Chavez's motto "Patria, Socialismo o Muerte" within the military as reported by Noticias24:

La DIM detiene al General que se quejó del ‘Patria, Socialismo o Muerte’
http://www.noticias24.com/actualidad/?p=15620

Venezuelans need help from developed governments and international organizations to restore democracy and end corruption.


Cordially,

The Rival Chávez Won't Permit

By Jackson Diehl
Monday, June 30, 2008; Page A11
The Washington Post

Defenders of Hugo Chávez like to argue that there is no alternative to the Venezuelan caudillo other than the feckless and unpopular politicians who preceded him in the 1990s. The simple refutation of that canard is Leopoldo López, the 37-year-old mayor of central Caracas, whose boyish good looks only underscore the fact that he represents a fresh generation.

Please read on this article which clearly describes the situation of abuse in Venezuela:
