What is at stake is the implantation of communes, the disappearance of private property and the "Ledezmization" of Governors and Mayors.<br /><br />These meetings to discuss the content of the next 6 year plan are window dressing.<br /><br />Actually, now that I think about it maybe all who oppose this should show up at those meetings to see if they will pay attention to them, and if a majority, to respect "the will of the people".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17982740239261883042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-88067224931064092522012-11-15T01:07:03.482+01:002012-11-15T01:07:03.482+01:00I mentioned in this blog in 09-Oct that "toda...I mentioned in this blog in 09-Oct that "todavia hay un camino", we just have to keep trying convincing people to move out of their houses on 16-Oct-12 and vote for the opposition candidates with best probability of wining in those states with several candidates, or vote for the elected in primariesUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08706409461931577992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-65931054538794947582012-11-14T22:22:21.337+01:002012-11-14T22:22:21.337+01:00Since the elections I am almost the only one discu...Since the elections I am almost the only one discussing the situation on my facebook. Before elections every third post was " Hay un Camino" : A Bi Polar reaction.When we are unrealistically happy or hopeful we usually end up with the opposition reaction: Catatonia of some sort.I saw that one coming.<br /><br />Now it is not part of my repertoire of personality traits to give up in the face of evil, so this reaction is somewhat hard for me to sympathize with.As a fighter I generally hang in there to the bitter end.What I don't know is how much is caused by Stockholm Syndrome, how much is simple denial and or self centering or how much is fear.Getting a sense of that is important in order to realistically assess the situation and its possibilities in terms of strategy.<br /><br />firepigettefirepighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158275219887987252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-24266617518883532892012-11-14T21:19:23.746+01:002012-11-14T21:19:23.746+01:00Daniel, it is not that you only have a few faithfu...Daniel, it is not that you only have a few faithful readers left, it is just that the balance are still catatonic over the esults and machinations of last election. From what I can see here in Bqto and read, the Chavistas are also catatonic.<br /><br />To me the real shocker is the news from the Head of the IEA that USA is to become No. 1 in oil production by 2017 and start exporting by 2020. I have been following the peak oil controversy for about 10 years and there have been indications in this direction for quite some time now. Where does that leave Venezuela after misspending all this oil money? The short answer is: In the dog house where it belongs. <br /><br />Finally, I suspect that all these poor souls who were dragged to the pools kicking and screaming to vote for Chavez will take a sweet revenge in December by staying home. This will offset the escualidos who by then will be at Disney world.<br /><br />Please keep on with your blogging, it is always well thought off stuff.<br /><br />Charlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145328603062740131noreply@blogger.com
