The Devil's Excrement





  The Devil's Excrement
Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.

I was slowly translating the interview with Adriano Gonzalez Leon in yesterday's El Nacional, but I just discovered that Guillermo had done the translation. Thanks! Obligatory reading from one of the giants.

Here are the proofs, Isaias by Teodoro Petkoff in today's Tal Cual


We have received a document that could shed new light in the fight against discrimination and political segregation. It could be an x-ray of the criollo McCarthyism, of tropical Stalinism.


More than an X-ray, it is a description of its physiology.


It is the payroll file for Fogade, whose aseptic and bureaucratic title "Situation of employees and workers of Fogade as of 4-30-2004", presides a political classification of each and everyone of the hundreds of workers of that public institution, according to the degree of adhesion or rejection of Chavismo.


In the first page, numbered from 1 to 6, the following gradation is established:"hard chavista","light chavista", "neither nor" "radical political opposition" and "light opposition". Next to each of the names of the 566 employees and the 46 workers a "little number" was placed which places him or her in one of the categories already described. But there is more, Tascón’s list was used for a second "classification ", 220 of the 566 workers have next to their names the letter "R" or "C" or both and 8 of the 46 workers are also marked with the same "little letters"


"R" means recall referendum and "C" is the initial for "Consultative Referendum". That is, those that made up the classification did not only inquire about the political inclination of each worker but making use of the infamous list, they also established who had signed or not the petitions against Chávez. From this payroll, with the exception of the personnel that can be freely appointed or removed, how many were fired, using the application of McCarthist criteria?. We don’t know, but the Prosecutor should find out who among those classified 4, 5 and 6 and marked with that sort of Star of David which are the letters R and C, are no longer working for FOGADE.


The Prosecutor announced the opening of an investigation about McCarthyism, segregation and political discrimination. If he means business, we can only hope that the Attorney General/Prosecutor will consider this document with all seriousness.


We understand, according to our source, that three copies were originally made from this document. We believe that the atmosphere of political persecution that has reigned in our country in the last few months, that Chavez himself had to recognize when he ordered that Tascón’s list be buried, give this document an important value from the point of view of evidence for the investigation that the Prosecutor opened about political discrimination and McCarthyism.
