Your totalitarian moment of the week

The totalitarian moment of the week comes to you courtesy of the Guardian. Argentine journalist Lanata was detained and harassed at Caracas airport,  threatened, and finally released but with his cell phone and computer banks all erased. The reason? among other things he was in possession of SEBIN documents that detailed the illegal spying that the regime did of Capriles, his family and close collaborators during the campaign.

The situation about privacy rights has become so bad in Venezuela that Capriles told us that he does not even own a cell phone because he does not want his private conversations broadcast at night in La Hojilla. any communication with Caprles had to go through one of his collaborators.

  2. If the Venezuelans are going to accept those election results and this regime as legitimate, then they have the dictatorship they deserve

    1. Why do you write such a patronizing statement? People, for whatever screwed up reason, voted for Chavez in a majority. Does that mean I should pick up my guns because I did not like the result?

      You need to understand one thing: if people are carted to voting station late in the day and still, upon duress, voted for Chavez and did not protest, there is nothing I can do. In the end, they do accept such a system. That they are wretches does not change that fact nor legitimizes that I start shooting idiots. If it were allowed to shoot idiots the human species would be extinct real soon.

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.
