When you read this I will be flying above some ocean.
I cannot stay for the fall of Maduro, or the assassination of Guaido. I need to go and take care of my Dad who is likely in his home stretch. And this barely after surviving Ivan's home stretch. Thus I will be gone from Venezuela the longest I have been since 1997.
I will try to write. In fact, they may be better informed posts since I will be able to access many of the censored pages inside Venezuela. But it will likely be irregular, Z posts in a week, zero the next one. Also, at least on the business side, I will be in touch with clients and partners so that aspect I will remain reliable. What will be missing are personal accounts of repression as I used to put in 2017, for example.
But I may post more pictures of where I'll be to share with you, as meditations of what life has been all these years. I know, very narcissistic but heck, we are in the era of selfies!
To end may God bless my Venezuelan readers wherever they are. The time of anguish is upon us. Strength my friends!

ReplyDelete"hope when you are back in the motherland, there will be a new beginning for all." From your mouth to God's ear. Venezuela has been waiting for this for a long time.

ReplyDeleteSide note, Your English is very good!
Daniel, I look for your posts every day and am thrilled when I find a new one. Perhaps we will be lucky to see posts from you in the future. I hope in this new stage of your life you will find strength. God bless you!
ReplyDeleteDaniel, I've been reading for maybe 10 years. From the beginning I have been in awe of your courage, given the very real threat of suppression and punishment by the Chaves/Maduro regimes. I've come to consider you a friend, and that made me fear for your well-being. I hope you will continue posting, but you've done more than your share of informing the world about what has happened in Venezuela; and you've done it in an entertaining, skillful way. I for one think you have made a difference. Good luck to you.
ReplyDeleteGood people help others and Daniel helped himself. A business man
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you show us proof of your accomplishments in being a good person then?
Deleteobviously you won't ever, as you are just an amateur level troll and exceptionally delicate snowflake.
Tah tah Mikey.
What's your problem M?
DeleteVenezuela soldiers are so so brave shooting un-armed civilians..... lets hope they end up facing soldiers of real nations soon and watch them shit their pants as they run away...
