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.

Interesting, the Shameless Attorney General/Prosecutor Isaias Rodriguez, who had earlier backed the suspension of due process and the elimination of the right of information, changes his mind and comes back saying now that he disagrees with it. Rodriguez now says that due process is an absolute right, which cannot be restricted and corrects all of the claims by the ignorant Deputies who were saying the right of information could be eliminated in the 1961 Constitution.
 
I mean, Mr. Rodriguez has gone from expressing satisfaction at the proposed changes two days ago, to exactly the opposite tonight.
 
What gives?
 
Some of you may think Government officials in Venezuela have the intellectual and judicial consistency of Tapioca, which is true…
 
Or that Rodriguez in the last days as Prosecutor, thought about it and changed his mind, which is possible but unlikely…
 
Or that he changed his mind. Is there any brain there to do that?
 
No, this is an order from somewhere way up above. All the way to the top,  to the autocrat. By tomorrow, other Chavistas will be siding with the prosecutor. They will use the words “rights”, the “people”, “democracy” and the like. All of the things that have not been said, but should have been said, since the now infamous proposal to change article 337 of the Constitution.
 
Why?
 
Who knows? Either a poll says that this is not popular or international reaction ahs been negative or this clouds the possibility of the easy approval the Government wanted. In any case, there has been a change of heart and the Prosecutor, this sad character, this overly dependent Head of an independent power was charged with announcing the change of heart.
 
Of course, nothing is said about the other illegalities and violations of the Constitution. They follow orders, not morals, ethics or principles.
