I mean, really.... should I congratulate Miguel to be in a wikileak, or should I send him my sympathies?
Of course, in a way I am green with envy to read confirmation that the opposition blog read for sure at the US Caracas embassy is the Devil. But on the other hand, Miguel wrote about Venezuelan "nuclear programs" what was obvious to all (well, not all), what I would have written had I been in Venezuela these days (though coming from a PhD in physics is certainly more credible than coming from a PhD in Molecular biology :), no?). Can't the US embassy do better than Miguel? Or is that for the CIA alone, away from embassy personnel? Then again when you read "posited" in the cable.......
Still, it is positive over all, we'd rather have embassies read Miguel than, oh, say, Aporrea as a certain embassy that shall remain nameless used to take seriously a while back, a certain embassy that asked me to stop criticizing their country, which I did not do of course. But I digress, you will need to read, when available, the wikileaks of that embassy to see if I made it on a cable.
Still, after having congratulated Gustavo yesterday I need to congratulate Miguel no matter what, for having build enough credibility in his blog to have become a "source". Let's just hope that in spite of the wikishit they will keep reading him to have a clear view of what is really going on in Venezuela.

Comments policy:
1) Comments are moderated except for the first day of the post publication where they will appear immediately. If you comment after the first day it may take up to a day or two for your note to appear.
2) Your post will appear if you follow the following rules. If you wrote in the open window period, I will be ruthless in erasing any comment that do not follow these rules, as well as those who replied to that off rule comment.
3)COMMENT RULES:
Do not be repetitive.
Do not bring grudges and fights from other blogs here (this is the strictest rule).
This is an anti Chavez blog, with 95% anti Chavez readers that have made up their minds over fourteen years and thus trying to prove us wrong is considered a troll. Still, you are welcome as a chavista to post, in particular if you want to explain us coherently as to why chavismo does this or that. Though I am not holding my breath.
Of course insults and put downs are frowned upon and I will be sole judge on whether to publish them.

I would love to know if making wikileaks increases blog readership.
ReplyDeletei doubt it. cables do not come with links.

ReplyDeleteActually, they probably do read Aporrea and all the the other Venezuelan state "news" outlets. At least I hope they are keeping on top of the vile propaganda that comes out of those outlets.
