RE: Re: <nettime> Le Monde Diplomatic: Chavezīs personal conspiracy |
Only a couple of snipers have been identified and they have been captured, but not by the police or judges, only in images by cameras and film crews. The suspects have names and they all work for government. Everything else is a conjecture or paranoia inspired wishful thinking, just as when Le Monde said only 300.000 marched on April 11th. On June 15th almost another million marched, but every time the opposition goes to the streets, the President closes the skys and forbids helicopters with televisionīs crews to film and transmit the political event. Why? Bolivarian Circles function as a political party, financed with the Stateīs (public) money ---> thatīs illegal and more important, they create havoc in the national budget; and worst, collective fear, because many of them (not all), are armed. CTV, the national trade union is so corrupt that when it calls for a national strike the country stops on its tracks. And yes, employers, the whole middle class, the church and media asks for Chavezīs renunciation and they do call themselves civil society. They are not military, right? Chavez is not a communist or a socialist challenging the Empire, he is a corrupt populist with a great following (half the country is behind him). My bet is that those chavistas, not the opposition, will ask for his head in the near future. Wait and see public response when IMF implements economic measures in Venezuela, measures that should not have been necessary if Chavez had been a competent and honest administrator. # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@bbs.thing.net and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime@bbs.thing.net
