News from around the fascist robolution... Getting ready to watch the Red Sox game, so in short you should learn about these events driving news in the fascist robolution:: ----Human Rights organization COFAVIC, warns that it is the poor that has been affected the most by abuses when a state of exception has been called in Latin America’s history. ----Imagine how bad things must be in terms of corruption and drug trafficking in Venezuela, when former cheerleader of the revolution reporter Juan Forero writes this piece in today’s Washington Post. Just think, revolutionary military officers like border postings because they can get rich and drug traffickers have credentials from the intelligence police and the Ministry of Finance. God help us form robolutionary destruction! ----And how about funny man the Minister of Culture, who incensed because actress Fabiola Colmenares opposes the Constitutional reform and has joined students demonstrations, thinks that maybe, just maybe, people like her should not be hired by the Government. Calling her “a minor personality of criollo fascism” because of her dissenting position, the Minister proposes having a discussion as to whether people like her should be hired in Government cultural projects. Jeez, who is the fascist here? Does this remind you of Tascon/Chavez database? Of course, its is the same discriminatory policy from a well-known fascist Government. ----And since we are visiting the Ministry of Culture, how about Vice-Minister criticizing the violence associated with the destruction of the monument to honor Che Guevara? Wasn’t he the one that twenty years ago was part of the guerrillas and was part of the group that kidnapped William Neihous and was captured when he attempted to collect the ransom? ----And the Minister of the Interior and Justice joins the fascist chorus as he tells us that the only way of expressing dissent against the Constitutional Reform is through the vote on Dec. 2nd. And threatens dissenters that “his pulse will nor shake to stop those that are promoting violence, civil disobedience and the altering of the normal and harmonic order”. Where should I start? First of all the violence is coming from pro-Government groups. Second, has he read Article 350 of the Venezuelan Constitution? It seems to call for civil disobedience precisely against his type of authoritarian, fascist non-democratic behavior. Finally, what are we supposed to vote on if the Government makes no effort to discuss what is in the proposed Constitutional Reform? After all, the original 33 articles are now up to sixty-something, with most of the new ones being added and discussed by small groups in smoke filled rooms. Additionally, the Constitution is being violated in the way the reform is being done. Shouldn’t the people have the right to do that? But his best phrase had to be referring to the students:"They had the gall to challenge the authority of the State" Yes, when the State takes away your rights, you have th RIGHT to challenge its authority, you fascist! ----And Chavez did not hold his Sunday variety show “Alo Presidente” today for the second Sunday in a row because of health reasons. I guess this is one case where I do not wish someone a speedy recovery… 7:52:27 PM    comment []

Sincor President admits existence of discriminatory list and says it is State policy It is still a mystery how well the heavy crude partnership of Sincor will work under the "new" management of PDVSA, but what we do know, is that discrimination will be the rule of the day under the Presidency of Chavista Ysaac Donise, from what Tal Cual relates today about the meeting last Friday of the company's workers with the old employees. Said Donis: "I am here. Anyone that wants can ask me." Those present began questioning the veracity of a new listing based on the infamous Tascon/Chavez database, in which people were rated as "apt" or "not apt" to work at the company. Donis removed any doubts they may have had when he said: "This is a matter of the State. There is a list being circulated in the press and it is real. It came out of here, we are investigating it and whomever leaked it will go to jail. It will be applied to key personnel which is within or outside the company" Said one worker: "He told us that at Sincor there are new guidelines: If on Fridays you have to dress in red, you do it and that's it. It is an order from above. If you have to register in a "mision", you do it and if someone does not like it, we will see about it" Four engineers in the "Not Apt" category have already been fired by Sincor. These are the words of one of the useful idiots of the revolution, known as commissars at other times and in other places. By the way, shame on French company Total and Norwegian company Statoil, who are partners in the Sincor projects and allow these policies in their company. In fact, they chose to stay as partenrs of Sincor, with a 40% stake between the two.This would be absolutely unthinkable in their own countries. But that is something I have learned in the last few years, most companies and politicians are willing to tolerate orders of magnitude of abuses more in Venezuela that they would allow in their own countries. I guess, we now have an "upgraded" Tascon/Chavez list ready to discriminate and persecute Venezuelans on the basis of their political ideas and foreign companies are participating openly in making money out of these operations. 10:12:12 PM    comment []

Tascon/Chavez fascist list alive and well at Sincor I have written extensiely about the fascist Tascon/Chavez list, which has been used extensively by the Chavze Government to discriminate Venezuelans according to their political preferences. The list has been used repeatedly by the Government to fire, deny contracts and benefits and only delusional fanatics of the autocrat/dictator continue going around denyin its use for political purposes. While some Venezuelans thought teh use of the list ended with Chavez' public recognition of its use and existence when he said on a Sunday Alo President quite a while ago, all evidence point to the opposite: The list is alive and well and continues to be used without scruples as not even the autocrat can now contain the hate and tools for hate he unleashed on those Venezuelans that are against his abuses. The latest example is documented in today's Tal Cual, when we are told about how four young engineers of heavy crude partnership Sincor were fired this week without explanation. Sincor is one of the projects in which PDVSA forced a 60% majrity on its partners on June 26th. and the company is now running the project. The four engineers, whose names are Andrés Pieve, Laura Atencio, Nataly Barcia Durán and Zully Álvarez were simply called and told they were no longer working at Sincor. Of curse, by now Chavista readers are saying they were probably fired for incompetence, bad manners or whatever and nobody can prove they were fired for opposing Chavez' autocracy. Except that Tal Cual got hold of a carefully elaborated list in which each employee of Sincor is judged according to whether they signed for the consultative referendum, for the recall vote or had their signature repaired. This list is shown here including the names of those fired. An elaborate system of X's next to each name and each referenda was placed next to each person's name to determine whether they were "apt' to continue working in the country's oil industry. The four fired recently are clearly marked with a V and they all signed against Chavez, failing to pass the loyalty grade. None of those considered "apt" has been fired and those not yet fired with X's next to their name are sure that they will soon join their co-workers in the ranks of the unemployed. And some fools will continue in denial, much like Germany during Hitler or when the McCarthy list was being used in the US to blacklist and discriminate. And when it is all over, they will also claim they did not know, but we will know better 11:30:27 PM    comment []

A new black list exposes once again the indecent revolution In any reasonable society, institutions are there to preserve the rights of people, uphold the Constitution and provide the framework for grievances and appeals. Not in the Venezuelan "revolution" No sooner had I started reading local news when I found that none other than the members of the Venezuelan National Assembly, in cahoots with the current Electoral Board, have apparently conspired to violate the Constitution as well as the rights of those that aspire to become part of the new Electoral Board (CNE) being selected by that institution. According to a COPEI representative, five of those nominated to be part of the new CNE were explicitly asked why they had not voted in either the municipal or the parliamentary elections in 2005. This is a clear violation of the law and the secrecy surrounding the electoral processes in Venezuela, which guarantee that the information is secret. But, in the absence of the rule of law, this new abuse of power and violation of the law will obviously go unpunished as there are no longer institutional checks and balances in Venezuela. This obviously raises the question of whether the infamous "Maisanta" or Chavez or Tascon database or list (see category on the left) has now been expanded, updated and upgraded with the two most recent electoral processes that took place in 2005. This administration is very efficient only when it comes to perverse activities like this. There is also the possibility that this was a special "favor" by the CNE authorities to the Assembly. In either case, this represents another violation of the law and the rights of Venezuelans that aspire to be part of the new Electoral Board. In any decent country, those members of the Board of the CNE who reportedly want to be ratified in their positions should simply be disqualified for allowing this abuse to take place under their noses. But there is no decency in this obscene revolution. And this nw "black list" simply exposes, once again , the lack of respect for their fellow citizens that most members of the Chavez revolution and its institutions have. 9:37:57 PM    comment []

Maisanta List working link IF you go to the following page, there is a link to download the maisanta prorgram which works: www.maisantalist.com Go there, at the top you will find a link to an executable (.exe) which is 360 MB in size. Download it to your desktop and install it, it will generate a program and database which requires 3 GB of disk space. If you don't have at least a DSL connection, don't even try it. (It is quite heavy, many people trying to download it) If you have contacts at newspapers or human rights organizations, please show it to them, this software and database give a new meaning to the concept of violating privacy and rights of individuals by a so called democratic Government, as well as threatening those who are in it, on both sides of the political spectrum, whether pro or against Chavez. Very shameful indeed. (Thanks Bill for the effort) 6:46:29 PM    comment []

The perverse and massive violation of the law and the rights of Venezuelans by the Government sponsored Maisanta software This post contains material that is not new or even original. Both Alek Boyd and El Universal have covered it. But it is quite different to read about the so called Maisanta software than to use it. Today, a friend got me a copy of the Maisanta software and database. After using it and playing with it for a while; it is difficult to express the outrage I feel. This piece of software and database demonstrates that we are living in a fascist state where the rule of law is non existent and where people are being discriminated against, blackmailed and their rights are being violated by those that are supposed to defend them and the law. Those that insist in defending this immoral administration should realize that all of this has no possible defense. This is facsim at its best. The President of the CNE, the Prosecutor, Chavez, The Vice-President and many others in Government have cheated, persecuted an violated the rights of all Venezuelans in a scale not seen since our last Dictatorship To me this implies that the following two Government officials, the President of the Electoral Board Jorge Rodriguez on the left and the Prosecutor General Isaias Rodriguez on the roght (no relation) should not only resign, but be jailed and charged with massive violations of the rights of Venezuelans and not following the laws, international treaties and the Constitution: The same should be applied to Chavez, Vice-President Rangel, Governor Diosdado Cabello and the members of the Supreme Court who have allowed for the laws to be violated in such fashion, simply for their own political gain. While I was shocked reading both Alek's account and that of El Universal's of this program, the dirty feeling and uneasiness you get when using the Maisanta software is truly remarkable. It all starts jokingly, people telling you their ID numbers to "check them", but very quickly turns into a tense situation. The software is flawed, has information that is incorrect, but additionally, it reveals people's very personal information from date of birth, to political preferences, to their electoral history. But I am getting ahead of myself. The Maisanta software was first designed in May 2004 as a tool for Chavez' campaign command to aid in getting the vote out. But in doing so, the gross and obscene violation of the law and the rights of the people implemented by these Government officials is simply incredible and absolutely shocking. The Maisanta database includes every single registered voter in the country. I am still trying to get the latest version, the one I obtained is from last year, but the point is the same. It is likely the newest version represents simply a deeper and more widespread violation of our rights. The software comes in a CD; you install it (3 Gbytes) and are ready to go. You don't know anyone that has it? Easy go to Plaza Bolivar in downtown Caracas and for Bs. 3,000 or 4,000 you have your own copy. (The Chavistas distributed over 35,000 of them last year for the recall vote and the regional elections). When it first opens, you get the following window, for which I have used the ID number of Isaias Rodriguez, our Prosecutor General, the man supposed to uphold the law, but who has turned the other way on the face of this very fascist tool: From this, we can have: his address, whether he signed or not to recall Chavez, his date of birth, address (sometimes with telephone), as well as the voting center that he uses. Additionally, he is "rated" as whether he is a good voter or not, based on his recent activity as a voter. Finally, the software is cross-referenced with whether the voter is a member of two of the Government's social missions, Mision Ribas, the program to graduate people from high school in a short time, and Vuelvan Caras, a "œscholarship" by which the Government gives people a monthly stipend to participate in projects to work against poverty and social exclusion You may wonder how I knew the ID number of the Prosecutor General? Easy, the software has a very cumbersome sequential search tool that finds all of the Isaias Rodriguez' of the country, if by chance you did not know his ID number. Imagine, if I was as unethical and immoral as them, I could, for example, go check everyone with my last name in the country (all related) and have a clear map of the political preferences in my family tree. Is that perverse or what? Or think of people checking up in their neighbors, co-workers and the like. I wonder how many articles of the Venezuelan Constitution are violated just by this fact. I counted eight, but really did not feel like counting further. But note that in the above window, there is a button that says "Listar cedulas de mi Centro de votacion" (List ID numbers of my voting center). Press that and you immediately get a list of everyone that votes in Isaias' center (who happen to be his neighbors) as shown partially here (I ahve degraded resolution on purpose so that names can not be read): This window has lots of information to discriminate, harass, classify and label people near wher you live. You have the ID number, age, whether the person signed petitions against the opposition, against Chavez, whether the person is rated as "opposition", abstainer and in columns not shown, whether the person signed or not against Chavez and if his or her signature were rejected or not. Then in the buttons below, you can print, search, filter according to categories or simply click on the button labeled "patriots". Press that and you only see the true "Aryans" loyal to the process, those that signed against the opposition. These are your revolutionary, fascist buddies, ready to die or whatever for the revolution. In fact, if they are not on your side but they participate in any of the misiones, you can threaten them with removal of their meager perks, if they don't want to follow orders. Cute, immoral and perverse, no? You can for example search for all people who are named Jorge Rodriguez (below left) and find so many that you have to narrow the search (below right) only to get 18 names if you are looking for the President of the Electoral Board, with both last names Rodriguez and Gomez. Conveniently, the address of the illustrious Jorge Rodriguez Gomez (eigth from the top on the right farme), Head of the CNE, has been removed to protect and respect his privacy. Remarkable and appropriate, no? There are many more functions to this fascist and perverse software. You can look at all centers in the country. Your center. Look for last names nationwide, in your center, in your state. But let's look at the data it contains and where it came from. First of all, it contains all of the data in the National Electoral Registry, including addressesandf somes telephones. This is the same registry that should have been handed over to all political parties by the CNE, six months before the election but the CNE refused to do so and was only turned over a couple of weeks ago without addressees "to protect the privacy of the people". But how did the Chavistas get this copy? And they have received periodic updates too! And they turn it have cross linked it with the database of the Government's Misiones, which should also be confidential, as well as the death registry turned over by the identification office to the Electoral Board last year. Additionally, it contains all of the recall petition information and all of the recent election informations for each and every voter in Venezuela. This simply represents a massive violation of the rights of all Venezuelans, a violation of the Constitution of the laws, a tool created for the discrimination, persecution, repression as well as the blackmail of those that receive aid from the Government (those "poorâ" that this Government is supposed to care so much for), it indicates the absolute neglect in the part of the Government in protecting the data of its citizens and enforcing it and it clearly demonstrates that democracy and respect of others are not part of the idiosyncrasy of this sad and fake revolution. They have violated the very trust that they were given by the people when they were elected. This software was coordinated way at the top. After the failure of Chavez' command to stop the petition for his recall he named his closest confidants, Diosdado Cabello, Jose Vicente Rangel and Maripili Hernandez to the Maisanta command. He held a swearing in ceremony on his nationwide Sunday program. They are all responsible for this and will one day have a day of reckoning. In any decent country with the rule of law, each and everyone of these characters, fascists, liars, cheaters and abusers would be forced to resign and be charged with crimes against the people, including the man who is supposed to enforce the laws, the cynical Prosecutor Isaias Rodriguez. Instead, they arrogantly come on TV daily defending what they are doing in the face of perverse and fascist elements like the Maisanta program, designed to persecute friend and foe alike. (I really wanted to convey the anger and disgust I felt using this program. This represnts something that goes against the most basic feelings of respect and humanity that I can think of. I felt like a voyeur capable of peering into the lives of friends that were voluntarily given me their ID numbers as a joke but had not realized all that could be learned from it. In fact, until I sat down to write the post I did not know how I was going to show any examples without violating someone's privacy. The examples shown, do not tell us anything new about these cynical, sad and perverse characters of this stupid revolution) 12:11:17 AM    comment []

More proof of the use of the Tascon Fascist list right at the top I still remember when I first started talking about the Tascon list and how it was being used to violate the most basic rights of Venezuelans, that pro-Chavez readers of this blog began questioning whether this was true or not, while people I knew well were being denied jobs, their ability to deal with the Government or even basic services like getting a passport or an ID number for the basic fact that they signed the petition to recall President Hugo Chavez, a right in the Venezuelan Constitution, put in by Chavez himslef. In time, the evidence mounted, case after case of the use of list became public, of how it was being used throughout the Government to deny the rights of people. Then the ultimate proof came out: First it was the memo in which Chavez asked the President of the Electoral Board to hand over the petition database directly to Tascon, for which the Presidency provided Xerox machines and personnel to copy the thousands of pages containing the names of those that signed. Then, in his verbosity, the chief blabbermouth of Venezuela told Deputy Tascon in his Sunday radio program that it was time to put away or “bury” the list. Those same readers never said anything and most of them have continued to support this Government despite this clear evidence of fascism, absence of the rule of law and abuse of the rights of people that went right to the top. Today, Tal Cual revealed a conversation between Rocio San Miguel, the former legal council to the National Council for Borders and her former boss Feijoo Colomine, the Executive Secretary of that Council. The Council is directly dependent from the Vice Presidency of the Republic. San Miguel was not only fired from her job at the council, but also from her teaching job at the School of Air Wars for signing the petition to call for a referendum to recall Higo Chavez. Moreover, her husband, an Air Force Colonel, has had no assignment and has been at home ever since his wife made her accusations public. San Miguel tried to go through the Courts but because the judicial system is controlled by the Government, her case has gone nowhere. She is now planning to go to the Interamerican System for the Protection of Human Rights. Today, San Miguel revealed the same taped conversation she had try to use in her case in which the Secretary General of the council, recriminates her for signing the petition and tells her directly that the decision to get rid of the people was made by Vice-President Jose Vicente Rangel directly. In any country where decency prevails the Vice-President would resign in the face of such an accusation of repression, abuse of power, human rights violation and plain fascist behavior. In a country with the rule of law, he would be indicted. In the Venezuela of the revolution, this will not even be considered by these heartless crooks without scruples. For those that do not speak Spanish, here are some excerpts from the conversation between San Miguel (SM) and her boss Feijoo (F): SM: This makes me very sad. In some fashion Thais and I will move forward, but I don’t understand why they meddle with Magally and with Guerra (Others fired), for only signing…how can you collaborate with this? F: Well, I am not going to argue, because...the alternative is that I resign, see? And I am not going to do that SM: But are you conscious that an abuse is being committed??? Your Government has claimed thousands of times about any citizen having the rights to exercise what they put in the Constitution. And why that retaliation? I understand if you are a Minister, you are fired, but we have technical jobs, I don’t go around making political statement s of any sort. F: There are decisions that are being made, they make them, and I did not like it…I do not agree…But the Government has made a decision SM: To kick out all its employees that signed. F: Well, at least Jose Vicente (the VP) made the decision in our case …The VP signed it. There you have it, evidence of fascist behavior right at the top once again. Anyone care to defend it? How much are you willing to support and collaborate with this type of behavior? That is why this post is going in the category: Tascon Fascist list. And it is a long list of fascism and abuses by this silly “revolution”! 8:59:10 PM    comment []

What the hell is this? by Teodoro Petkoff or The Tascon list is still alive What the hell is this? by Teodoro Petkoff in Tal Cual Bury the Tascón list? What a farce! I am writing this mini-report on the bases of information I received a few minutes ago from an economist that applied for a position at the Central Bank. She brought all her credentials and her CV.   Yesterday, the person in charge of handling personnel matters at the Central bank informed her that her credentials were impeccable but unfortunately she had not passed the “citizen aptitude” test. Surprised, the economist pointed out that she had had no problems with the law. “No, it is not that” her interviewer told her. “The citizen aptitude test has to do with you know”. No, I don’t know, what are you talking about? Demanded the economist in question somewhat astonished. From the other side, the verbal answer continued being mysterious and evasive: “You know that thing” but the hand made a gesture of signing. The economist understood. She had signed and at the Central Bank they had consulted, obviously, the miserable Tascon list, where her “citizen ineptitude” was registered. This mini-reporter, that personally knows a number of Directors of the Central Bank, is addressing them by their names: Tell me Gaston Parra, tell me Armando Leon, tell me Prof. Maza Zavala, tell me Jose Felix Rivas, tell me Bernardo Ferran. What the hell is this? Are you going to accept that in the Institution you direct commit this type of dirty tricks? 7:15:01 PM    comment []

Chavez ordered Tascon to get Chavez' list, Court admits suit The Venezuelan Supreme Court admitted a suit against Deputy Luis Tascon on the same day the list officially became Chavez’ list, substituting Tascon’s name in it. As can be seen in the document below on January 30 2004, President Hugo Chavez sent a letter to the then President of the Electoral Board Francisco Carrasquero and authorizing Deputy Tascon to take with him the copies of the petition submitted by the opposition to request a recall referendum against President Hugo Chavez. This petition formed the basis for what had been known as Tascon’s list, but was clearly a direct order from the President himself. Moreover on Feb 1 2004, Chavez said in his Sunday program Alo Presidente :” I signed a few days ago an order asking for copies of all of the forms handed in by the opposition”. Thus, the suit can now be extended to Chavez himself. Tascon tried today to defend himself by saying that he did what he did to stop a massive fraud, which was never shown, despite two rounds by the CNE to try to stop the recall process by inventing new rules. Where is the Attorney General in all this? This is noticia criminis which he should not, but will surely ignore. Will the former President of the CNE who happens to be now a Justice of the Constitutional Hall of the Venezuelan Supreme Court abstain? Or will he act with his usual bias and partiality? 7:45:56 PM    comment []

I am not marrana by Valentina Guzman Ramos Valentina Guzman was the first case that Teodoro Petkoff talked about in his Editorials in Tal Cual on the victims of the Tascon or McCarthyist list. She was a lawyer at FOGADE and was fired along with most of the employees of that institution who signed the petition to recall President Hugo Chavez. Her great grandmother was my grandfather’s sister. She wrote this article in today’s Tal Cual.  I am not marrana* by Valentina Guzman Ramos   (*Marrana means either a swine or a converted Jew during the inquisition)   At the height of the Inquisition, according to Argentine writer Marcos Aguinis in his book “The heroic deeds of the Marrano”, those considered “heretical” by the Spanish crown, would be exhorted to “convert” to Catholicism so that they would not be taken to the bonfire for the sins charged due to their religious conditions. Those that were forced to accept would be called “marranos” because even though they had to accept, as their own, the catholic doctrine and faith, their blood was not one hundred percent clean or pure.   Many did it to save their lives and that of their families, others simply preferred to continue practicing their thousand-year traditions in silence or in some reckless cases, quite openly. Torquemada, the Spanish monk of the inquisition in charge of executing the decisions of the Kingdom, prepared his famous lists to inquire one by one, who had obeyed the royal edicts of conversion and those who because of “rebelliousness” had not complied with it. Of course, the latter were searched for in each corner of Spain and in each area of the new America, a continent to which they had to escape as their only way out of extermination.   This whole story took place during the years in which Isabella the Catholic governed the vast territories of the motherland, an epoch which was later called obscurantist, and of course, of little tolerance. I don’t know if I had a sort of “déja vú” or a close encounter with my recent reincarnations, but something similar (of, course, not as drastic as death) happened to the workers of FOGADE, for not being with “the process”. At times, I felt like a poor Jew or gypsy because for believing in a Constitution, or in the “rule of law” or in a “participative democracy”, I was “marked” and “pointed to” for manifesting my position both publicly and openly, signing the petition for a referendum that constituted a right, as much as any other consecrated in our “Carta Magna”. Thus, my new boss and some of my colleagues that worked with me, turned themselves into cruel instruments of persecution and harassment, elaborating lists, laughing in hiding, point at us as “opposition” and accusing us as if we had committed a terrible crime against an ideology that was imposed at all costs.   The saddest thing about the case is that in order not to be fired, many “converted” with their silence, or with their tacit acceptance and filthy complicity with the “process”. And with that change in attitude, the qualification of “marranos” ended up being too small and poor, because they literally sold their soul, their values and their beliefs in order to survive (Of course, this presupposes that they had had those souls, those values and those beliefs). At the beginning I judged them, and was so disappointed that they even got me depressed. With time, I learned that there are people whose dignity is worth very little, or better, is not worth anything.   Was I discriminated against? Everything seems to indicate that yes…But I have to confess and I say I in all honesty: I DO NOT REGRET HAVING EXPRESSED MY OPINION and what is worst (because for many this attitude is stubborn and arrogant) I continue to maintain it. I prefer to be condemned to die in a bonfire and burn in the fire of injustice, that sell myself for a salary, for stability, for economic benefits that in no way feed neither my spirit, nor my soul. I AM NOT A MARRANA and I say it with honor. I don’t need redeemers that want to scratch my name to “wash their hands” and “clean their sense of guilt” nor do I want either that my name be removed from any list, because if being in it meant fighting for what I believe in, then that is precisely where I want to be. Thus, Mr. Tascon and all the other “Pilates” of this Government: I don’t need your last hour favors, or your late “mercy”. I feel proud of what I did and happy because I did not silence my ideas, nor saved my thoughts. Signing to express my disagreement can not be considered a heroic act, or least of all a superhuman effort, it simply consisted on the exercise of a right that the same “inquisitors” established in our Constitution and which I exercise with pleasure. 10:01:08 PM    comment []
