He talks with both sides. Chavismo:<br /><br /> <i>I met with Evans on May 10th in the offices of Noticias24, on the twelfth floor of an office block in Chacao, the city’s financial center. He comes from the ideological sector of Chavismo that nested in the academic left, and he had been a loyal advocate of the government’s policies until Maduro started his campaign. Evans told me he believes Chavez’s leadership style had created an attitude of unconditional support in his followers that didn’t promote self-criticism and has hampered Chavismo’s political renovation. “In the most powerful sector of the party’s leadership, Stalinism is the fastest way to resolve any differences. This totally contradicts the red book of the Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela, which proposes socialism through participatory democracy. The current leaders are outdated.”</i><br /><br />Julio Borges:<br /><br /> <i>Julio Borges has a radically different point of view. “As Diosdado Cabello says—and you have to take him seriously—Chávez was the brake on all the crazy ideas that occurred to his cohorts. Now nobody knows who’s in charge of the economy or the military. Maduro can’t manage all this, and that’s the reason for the reactions we see—violence and repression.”</i><br /><br />Yes, his beating is discussed.<br /><br />Read it.<br />Boludo Tejanonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-69257551362301983452013-05-21T01:49:45.294+02:002013-05-21T01:49:45.294+02:00From Boat People's link:

Those of us who could. Mostly because we feared for out lives and the children, Venezuela is as dangerous as Iraq or Afganistan, as you know, people don't even dare stop at a red light in Caracas' best neighborhoods at night, as el Cafetal, where I grew up. Not to mention dare go to a restaurant on foot, as we used to, in places like Chacaito. <br /><br />So if 80% of the educated elite left the country (you are one of the few refugees in san Felipe) what brain power do we have left? Anyone who could and had an opportunity is living here in Miami, Weston, or Madrid. So most of what we have left, with few exceptions, are corrupt, uneducated thugs, and the poor, clueless people. No wonder there hasn't been any progress, except for corruption and crime in 15 years.<br /><br />I might get back to my country in another 15 years, if we are fortunate enough.<br />Sledgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00669696149094846115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-32845913502797248772013-05-18T20:08:01.352+02:002013-05-18T20:08:01.352+02:00What's happening now is rather simple, Daniel....What's happening now is rather simple, Daniel. Indios en el poder,thieves, with no education, clinging to power because it brings tons of money, and some fame. It's not very complicated. Yhe rhetoric, of course, is a populist Chavista Communist discourse (thank God that murderous tyrant is DEAD).<br /><br />It's simply a matter of money and power, above all. <br /><br />Unlike Capriles or Lady Corina, bus driving THUGS like Maduro just want to get richer and more powerful. That's all. They couldn't care less about the real well fare of out people. Demagogic fools such as brutomaduro, might succeed with CHEATING, as when the steal an election in a filthy manner, or when they steal the TV and radio air time, or when they BRIBE the illiterate Venezuelan masses with gifts, arepas, or a promise for a "vivienda". <br /><br />That's how they do it, besides counting Cuban votes, and what not.<br /><br />It comes down to a general lack of education Daniel, as I've said many times before.<br /><br />Sadly, as you know all too well, la plupart de nos citoyens c'est des corruptes abrutis. Period. Corrupted, non-working people with very little education. They like it easy, enchufaos, and no work.<br /><br />I lived in Venezuela all my youth, and follow it closely ever since I got the hell outta there 20 years ago(preguntale a Pedrito) plus you can watch an excellent program here about Venezuelan news: Bayly.<br /><br />But the bottom line is we need a leader like Capriles who will commit to EDUCATE the people, so that they won't buy the CRAP monkeys like Chavez or Maduro, etc, come up with. So they make money, and get rid of such animals, as they have done in places like Colombia or Chile or Costa Rica: EDUCATION.Sledgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00669696149094846115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-60262095019964616262013-05-18T17:30:12.865+02:002013-05-18T17:30:12.865+02:00I wouldn't be so confident that the vote was s...I wouldn't be so confident that the vote was secret when, given the machine random generator seeds, it is relatively simple to calculate which vote corresponds to each person? Even without the seeds, the process can still be reversed to knowing with high probability each person's vote simply by adding the information from other known lists, such as the Tascon list.<br /><br />--torresnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-5128647070839874942013-05-18T06:52:39.547+02:002013-05-18T06:52:39.547+02:00This idiocy of stating Toripollo knows who voted f...This idiocy of stating Toripollo knows who voted for who should serve Capriles very well if he is willing to play the game and accept this statement at face value to shout to the whole world: look this guy just confessed the vote is not secret.

I thought they were just using the ones that were left over, or prepared late to flood the streets with his ugly mug as a show of unity. Maybe the wheels are in motion for an upcoming select re-vote, and if so you can bet that the wheels are also in motion to insure this time that he will receive more votes in these areas...And I don't mean actually win more votes, but receive more votes. The electoral system is still broken, and it would be foolish to think that the results will reflect an accurate count, especially if maduro proposes it.<br /><br />concernedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-7711093341014801362013-05-18T00:28:35.936+02:002013-05-18T00:28:35.936+02:00Sonrisita vomitivaSonrisita vomitiva@pablortegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328033890403606724noreply@blogger.com
