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.

---The General Prosecutor called the Maletagate trial in Miami a "media show" with no relevance to Venezuela. According to her, this trial has been going on for "very long".

I guess all of the accusations against prominent Government figures are irrelevant to this bastion of Venezuelan Justice. And given the fact that the suitcase full of cash was taken to Argentina about 15 months ago, it may be good to remind her of the trial of the cops accused with deaths on April 11th. 2002, who have been detained for four years and have yet to be brought to trial.

---And then, just like that, this same lady turns around and says the accusations against opposition leader Manuel Rosales brought up by President Chavez and Maracaibo’s Mayor Di Martino, will be investigated "in quick and expedite fashion". This despite the fact that she has no clue what the accusation of corruption is about and no formal case has been presented yet.

What a difference between the two cases, no?

---And in the same case, the Venezuelan National Assembly discussed today opening an investigation against Manuel Rosales. Since they are there the Assembly will also investigate him for trying to kill Chavez. Faster than a speeding bullet in the middle of an electoral campaign. Such nice people!

---And then as a Director of the Electoral Board says that the Board should investigate Chavez taking advantage of his position, the head of the Board says that the institution she presides has no accusations that the President is taking any advantage of his position. Funny, I guess that Director must be irrelevant or does not exist, no?

After three large scale blackouts in the country so far in 2008, today Venezuela had a huge bytesout when apparently an optical fiber was cut by an excavator. The country was left with no connection to the Internet outside of Venezuela due to this and about four hours after it occurred the Minister of Telecommunications proudly reported that 80% of the service had been reestablished.

This all goes well with the revolution's slogan "A paso de vencedores" (At the pace of winners), except they seem to do it all backwards...
