The deal was cinched in the international community when Brasil signed on and it started bad for oppo when Colombia and Spain signed on. Don't count on everyone throwing their support behind Maduro. What the U.S. and allies say or do is critical but don't expect much. It's all a matter of priorities something the consistent Cubans well versed in and their Chavista pupils seemingly understand. Maduro has to prove his mettle and is far more radical and extreme (willing to take risks) than his predecessor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-64284270276691324842013-04-18T17:28:21.678+02:002013-04-18T17:28:21.678+02:00"Tomorrow is a critical date, CNE is supposed..."Tomorrow is a critical date, CNE is supposed to crown king maduro, the international community will have to pronounce itself..."<br /><br />I'm NOT chillin!

I still believe that no one is above the law or the constitution, no matter how high chavez stacked the deck to insure that the law can be bent in any direction they need it to bend. Everyone has to answer to someone, and as soon as el pueblo wakes up and realizes that those clowns are supposed to work for them and not the other way around, they can be removed of their duties and carried straight to jail or hell. I believe that this may be the last chance to correct the path, at least for several generations. There has already been one generation born under chavez that has been damaged or altered for life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-74510529209902292252013-04-18T16:20:12.918+02:002013-04-18T16:20:12.918+02:00Orlando,

M...Anonymous 7:13 I don't think you are wrong. My "conspiracy" mind is telling me they did attempt to "manufacture" the ballots and realize it was not going to be possible to make it all look right and match in names and numbers. So they unleash Plan F (just because they have attempted so many other things), the CNE would say the system is so perfect there is no need to re-count, TSJ would say there will be no "legal" requirement to count, Maduro will say "I respect the opposition, el pueblo, but those who caused the violence (coupsters) will have to answer to the judicial system." The minister of defense will say something like "the bolivarians FAN will protect the constitution and the vote of the people".<br />I heard maduro also said "I'll support whatever CNE decides"...I think the combination of it all will provide enough cover to the international community who is today "acting" as if they were impartial.<br />I think in a day or two, those bolivarians in the closet (UNASUR, MERCOSUR, OEA, Brazil, Kerry, etc) will throw their support behind maduro.<br />HRC is already being attacked from central government and Miranda. Once the international community calls it "good and whishes maduro success" the stage will be set up for maduro to close the curtains and go to work.<br />I said it already a week or so ago, I believe Capriles will be forced to either follow Rosales and go into exile or follow Afiuni and immolate himself.<br />Tomorrow is a critical date, CNE is supposed to crown king maduro, the international community will have to pronounce itself, if they do what I fear, is full left wing fascism for Venezuela.

About Unasul's meeting, there's a division also there: Cristina and Correa are fighting to inherit Chavez's leadership. Good luck and good ridance! And Capriles saying "Cristina should come with a list of what she owes us" is worth all of this.

For sure they have been working overtime in parallel this week taking fraud to the next level to fabricate documents and ballots, just in case the pressure to recount is so great that they will have to allow it. It is highly possible that in the end, maduro's count may increase. I trust nothing or no one from this circle of thieves.

He hasn't helped Maduro de-escalate at all either. Now he destroys Maduro's ability to secure credit, which the country desperately needs. With friends like Cabello, Maduro has no need for enemies.
