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.

How Tal Cual saw the parody of the press conference (above) about the conspiracy given last Thursday by Deputies of the National Assembly and other Chavistas

Part I: Another Phantom coup by Patricia Torres

A terrorist plan to sabotage the elections and hunt President Chavez and his loyal troops was frustrated this last weekend. The authorities said nothing. Four days later, a group pf Deputies begins to show the evidence, drop by drop, to the public. The authorities have yet to say anything

The script is well known

Military officers who want to overthrow the Government with the help and blessing of the eagle from the north organize a conspiracy to overthrow Hugo Chavez. The “anonymous heroes” of intelligence and the security forces unveil the plan and avoid the bloodbath designed to cut the wings of the revolution. Then, some Government official, not the President himself, tells the tale, shows the proof. A promise is made to investigate. There is never an official version, nor a trial, nor guilty people.

The story, which already knows some thirty different versions was reedited this Thursday by the Deputies of the National Assembly Nicolas Maduro, Cilia Flores, Pedro Carreño, Darío Vivas, Francisco Solórzano (Frasso) y Angel Rodríguez.

DVD in hand, the legislators called a press conference to show a series of tape recordings, which they assure us, conform that on the 4th. of December: there was a orchestration of a destabilization plan, that among other actions, was meant to take over the fort in San Juan de Los Morros, La Carlota and Fuerte Tiuna, attempts on the life of political leaders with red hair and the assassination of at least 15 thousand Venezuelans.

Although they were unable to explain where the material came from, the Deputies had no doubts about their true origin. The plot, that was gestated at the CIA, involves both active and retired military, among the, Cl. Carlos González Caraballo, who is being sought for his involvement in the events of 2002, Gral. Oswaldo Sujú Raffo and Gustavo Díaz Vivas, who according to Flores was the guard of Pedro Carmona during his brief mandate.

Opposition political parties also participated, if not consciously, indirectly: “If they knew about it they committed treason and if they did not know about it the serve as useful fools by withdrawing from the elections” said Carreño. Because according to the MVR deputy, they were trying to apply the principle of “compartmentization” (nobody knows what the other one is doing) in order to generate a chain reaction.

Without being able to say either why the security organizations of the Government have not informed about these facts, the Deputies said that they would denounce the case in the military Prosecutor’s office and announced that on Saturday (Note: It did nit happen) they will give another press conference with the names of all of those presumably involved in this destabilization network.

Part II: The last cartoon
by Teodoro Petkoff

Frasso, Frasso, my old friend, what were you doing in that masquerade, that act of pure rubbish that was staged by Pedro Carreño y Cilia Flores? What are they going to say in Santa Ana, your town? Your old woman, if she saw you, I am sure she was full of shame. Don’t you know Frasso that Pedro Carreño has in his curriculum those things like that they spy us via DirecTV or that Montesinos was not dead? Didn’t you get the felling that sort of bazooka that Pedro showed off is the same one that Chavez pulled out when he told us that they were trying to use that thing to knock down his jet? What conspiracy is this one Frasso, where they captured weapons, explosives, telephone conversations and even pictures of the conspirators but nobody is jailed? You really believe that you will get the consolation prize of an Embassy? Get off that cloud, Frasso. You sucked up to him and sucked up to him and nevertheless your name was taken of the MVR slate for Parliament. Chavez, you should know by now, Frasso, does not forgive any “moment of weakness”. You, even with your Prince of Asturias prize, you will not even now get to be a gatekeeper at a Bolivarian school.

For the “revolution”, you are an ex-person. On top of that, next time please get together with an intellectual like William Lara and not with Pedro Carreño.

(Note added: One of those accused said that is not his voice in the supposed cell phone conversation with his wife, he does not even have contact with her, he is in the US where he was granted political asylum and leaving the US would be in violation of the asylum.)

It did not take very long, but my prediction even before I had read the reports by the international observers, was quite precise when I said the day before the reports came out:

"Watch for reports from the OAS and EU observers today. Will they say what they think? Will the Chavez Government turn against them tomorrow? Will they become puppies of imperialism after today?"

It did not take any special foresight on my part, this is why Chavez is no Democrat, his fascist military background is just too strong and dominating, he is as intolerant as they come, either you are 100% with him or you are his enemy as the international observers found out today when Chavez said basically that he is Hugo Chavez so he can do what he wants and they are just conspirators (like all his enemies). Here is a summary:

He accused the observers of lying, accusing both the Organization of American States of "acting against the interests of the people and democracy".

Chávez stated that the observers "lent" themselves to a "destabilization play against the country", criticizing the "surprising" agreement between the two groups of observers and the similarity to the stuff that comes out of Washington everyday against Venezuela.

He said the observers "are all part of the world right, of the extreme right", thus Chavez said, "I denounce this conspiracy, one more time, and some of them lent themselves to it”

Chavez also said that the observers should not get involved in internal matters of the country and they only were supposed to say if the process was transparent or not. "I have been accused that I was exposed to radio and TV. And what do they want for me to shut up? I spend all my time talking to my country” (Don’t we know it!)

Thus, Chavez has done to the EU and OAS observers what it did to all Venezuelans that have opposed him, to accuse them of conspiring against his noble cause, of being rightwing and working for the US. What makes this even more laughable is the fact that as long as observers had gone along with the elections in the past Chavez praised them to no end, but now they have simply become their enemies. This has happened to most of Chavez military mates who staged the coup with him, most of the political groups that backed him in 1998 and the personalities that helped him get to power. Once they did not offer their absolute backing without discussion, they became enemies in what I call the Chavez praying mantis effect.

Curiously, these statements will make headlines all over the world, making many wonder why they thought the headlines said that the elections were clean as distorted by Forero in the New York Times or the Associated Press. They will wonder now what is going on here, something definitely rotten in Venezuela. Thanks Hugo for raising the issue and reacting inappropriately to the observer’s criticism!
