A high school peer of mine writes occasionally for Counterpunch, but not on Venezuela.<br /><br />I don't see any way to screen out Prensa Latina. Google News similarly has Prensa Latina and Venezuelanayisis as "news" sources. Which reminds me of the old Soviet joke about there being no news in Izvestia and no truth in Pravda.

Have you attended OTEC before the Chavista takeover of PDVSA (2002-2003)? If so, did you observe Venezuelan name tags at the technical sessions at a time before Chavez took over PDVSA? My guess is that given the professional performance of PDVSA before Chavez took it over ( and fired 20,0000 PDVSA strikers), you would have seen Venezuelan name tags at technical sessions.Boludo Tejanonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-44238998854152397492017-05-19T17:05:18.950+02:002017-05-19T17:05:18.950+02:00It is interesting that passports hit the news yest...It is interesting that passports hit the news yesterday. The GOV denied Capriles use of his passport to go to the UN to denounce Venezuela. The US denied entry to the US for 8 Venezuelan Supreme Court (TSJ) justices. Tit for tat. <br /><br />When the GOV complains about the "embargo" against Venezuela, which has taken the form of denying entry and confiscating US-held assets of certain Chavista officials, pointing out the GOV's denying Capriles use of his passport rather squelches that complaint.<br /><br />Yesterday was definitely a newsworthy day for Venezuela, and Daniel covered it.<br /><br />I discovered a news aggregator from the UK which appears to be somewhat faster than Google News in reporting relevant articles. <a href="http://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/World+News/Latin+America/South+America/Venezuela" rel="nofollow">NewsNow.UK:Venezuela</a> Boludo Tejanonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-10243867282922959572017-05-19T14:01:31.506+02:002017-05-19T14:01:31.506+02:00I've been following your blog for several year...I've been following your blog for several years. During Offshore Technology Conference in Houston earlier this month I made a point to observe the PDVSA booth/display. Clearly a junket trip for the dozens around the Venezuela pavilion. Did not see one Venezuela name tag at any of the technical sessions over 4 days.

What they fail to account for is that regime propaganda is aimed at left wing radicals who will support communist dictatorship no matter what. These European, Latinamerican and USA communists are linked, their beacon or command centers are in Havana, Madrid, Buenos Aires, etc. <br /><br />The best way to defeat THEM is to go all out to free countries like Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea are free, because the horrors revealed after they fall are a powerful weapon against the worldwide communist scourge. Obama's policy, being friendly and legitimizing Raúl Castro, has failed miserably. The Europeans and latinamericans have historically aided and abetted these horrible regimes, blindly setting up the conditions to have their societies destroyed. And if this doesn't change, in 50 years we will be in a dark age, dictatorships and pseudo democracies everywhere, controlling us with technology and taking humanity into hell. <br /><br />Fernando Leanmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085680730729620836noreply@blogger.com
