Oil spill out-of-control in Venezuela!

State of emergency has been declared in Monagas state after a major oil spill.  Citizens are crying out for help to contain the oil spill which is destroying the Guarapiche River and wildlife. Citizens are affected with illnesses related to the oil spill that took place a few weeks ago, and are complaining that PDVSA, Venezuela's oil company, is not doing enough to contain the spill as reported by the following  news reports:

Civil organization "Gente de Petroleos" blame PDVSA for negligence in reacting to the oil spill in the Monagas state allowing 60 thousand oil barrels to fall into the Guarapiche River, and for low maintenance of the oil installations.

“Jimmy Carter Go Home!!!”

Dear Journalists,
Venezuelans are preparing for the opposition primary election scheduled to take place on February 12.  However, they received the chilling news that former President Jimmy Carter and the Carter Center will be sending a study group to follow the elections.  The opposition blames the Carter Center’s failure to see open fraud while Hugo Chavez allegedly rigged the elections.  The opposition is actively spreading the word on Twitter #Cartergohome.

Venezuelan opposition responded to Fidel Castro’s meddling in nation’s affairs.  Please keep in mind that Hugo Chavez gives millions in financial aid to the infamous dictator.

Ambassador Adolfo Taylhardat also commented on Castro’s meddling:
Amb. Taylhardat wrote about Hugo Chavez’s pathetic celebration on February 4 of his Coup d’État of February 4, 1992:
I will be following the Primary election and will post the results on my blog.
Venezuelans need help from world leaders, and the International Court of Justice, to resolve abuse of power in Venezuela and restore democracy.

Cordially,
