The regime is relentless in its desire to silence any critical voice. As Chavez numbers keep sliding down even though his populist measures give him a monetary hiccup in the trend lines, it is clear that the regime has a need to silence opposition. For example we are reminded today by Globovision main owner, in exile in the US, that the pressure is sustained against Globovision. The regime is trying to get control of it by getting financial control of Globovision so as not to suffer the negative press it got when it downright closed Radio Caracas.
But the people around Chavez are also taking very dangerous initiatives. In an army publication an article appeared declaring certain journalists to be "military targets". That is right, there are some inside the armed forces that are drawing plans to get rid of anti Chavez journalists. I need not underline to you how grave such a thing is.

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.

ReplyDeleteYou have to wonder what other "dispositions" are out there. Not just journalists but other "influential" people too.
