Andres Velasquez complains about the prohibition of public assembly in which Henrique Capriles was going to participate.

    The member of the Simon Bolivar command, Andres Velasquez, explained this evening  that the city of Guayana wont authorize the realization of the workers assembly that was set for this Wednesday May 1, in which Henrique Capriles was going to attend.

   Velasquez announced that the permit was already approved  and at the last moment the city, with functionaries of the national guard, nullified the approval and ordered the de-instillation of the platform and the no realization of the event.

   "This situation was truly inexplicable (...) definitively this is an attempt on freedom and the right to public assemble established in the constitution", Velasquez claimed .

Psuv 's union bureaucracy.

Translation from the original article

Psuv 's union bureaucracy opposes general rise in salaries.

Por:  Laclase.info

   Caracas, 22 de abril. -The CBST, Central Syndicate that operates like an arm for the Psuv, opposes the demands of rising the general salary and wages that the National Union of workers (Unete) and the Autonomous front for the defense of the working place (Fadess )protested about. The Chavistas center were fixed in their position through their psuv representative, Francisco Torrealba, who claimed that the demanded rise "will be an irresponsibility".

   According to Torrealba, the government economy and labor politics "translates in the progressive recovery of the acquisitive power of the salary...in such a scenario the future depends on the control we make(about the inflation)".

   In purpose of the static labor, Torrealba didn't had shame in saying "the lazy, slackers, irresponsible and those with sloppy interests can perfectly be fired".

   Torrealba, who is an ex union leader of the Caracas metro, considered "we must be responsible for the control of the public finances and there is no mechanism that we can use in order to give raises, that will be an irresponsibility".

  Union bureaucrats and general managers of the basic enterprises are calling workers to persecute the workers who do not support the government.

   On Tuesday, 16 of April, as union bureaucracy affects the government, the general managers of the basic enterprises offered a news press in the Venezuelan corporation of Guayana (CVG), in which they called a massive political "clean up" for those against opposing the government.

   Union secretary of the united workers of the siderurgica industry and similar (Suits), Jose Melendez, who is also a member of the socialist tide and the CBTS, ordered the location of the "infiltrators", in order to fire them. "be sure that we will get them and will put them in their place". "Have absolutely confidence, comrades, that they will go out crying", Melendez scream, while the Psuv activists chorus back "cleaning, cleaning".

   Jose "Acarigua" Rodriguez, of the Sitiss executive committee and leader of the party Country for everyone (PPT), advised an elaboration of a list of those who oppose the government. "how is it possible, that when you look at some public enterprises, you'll see that the majority voted against us, more than the 60 percent? what kind of bullshit is that? we are full with Adecos and Copeyanos, and as soon as we control the country, we must radicalize the revolution*"

Translation from the Original article:


Caceria de los terrorista del marathon de Boston: Un sospechoso muerto, el otro en fuga.

JASON SICKLES AND LIZ GOODWIN

[Actualizacion 9.18am ET]

   Boston - En las largas horas de la noche la policia perseguia al terrorista sospechoso enfrentandolo y matandolo, segun datos de la policia, los residentes de la todavia afligida ciudad fueron ordenados por la policia que "se alberguen en su lugar" mientras la caceri continua. Uno de los policias fue herido de muere mientras otros gravemente durante la violenta persecucion.

    La prensa asociada identifico a uno de estos terroristas sospechosos como Bzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, 19, de Cambridge, Mass. diciendo que el sospechoso tiene hermanos. El segundo de los sospochosos es Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, segun el canal de notocias de NBC, quien fue encontrado un IED en su cuerpo. Los hermanos son provenientes de Chechenia, segun las fuentes de NBC, una violenta provincia sureña de la republica de Rusia.

    El fotografo Johannes Hirn le tomo fotos al hermano mayor para su perfil de Boxeo. Los comentarios suguieren que Tsarnaev vino a America como niño traido con su familia de refugiados que huian de Chechenia por Kazakhstan. Dhokhar Tsarnaev parece ser que realizo unos mensajes, bajandols en su blog vinculados con el Islamismo y la independencia en Pro de Chechenia.

   El tio del sospechoso le dijo a la estacion de noticias local de CBS que la pareja han estado viviendo en este pais desde el 2001. Al tio le dijeron que uno de sus nietos ha muerto, quien respondio que "el merecia lo suyo, absolutamente lo merecia," decia Ruslan Tsarni. "Ellos no merecen vivir en esta tierra." El padre de los Tsarnaev fue encontrado por AP en Rusia por telefono, quien dijo que su hijo era un "angel verdadero" y excelente estudiante.

   Al Amanecer, el Gov. Deval Patrick ordeno apagar el transporte publico y tambien que los residentes cercanos a los limetes de Bostoc que se queden adentro mientras la extensa caceria por el segundo sospechoso sigue. La ciudad entera de Boston ha estado bajo resguardo desde la mañana del viernes pasado.

   "La situacion es grave y intentamos proteger a la seguridad publica," Decia el Coronel de la policia del estado de Massachusetts Timothy Alben, quien ordeno un paro a las ciudad de Watertown, Waltham, Belmont, Cambridge, Newton, Allston y Brighton. Watertown fue declarada no apta para el trafico aereo.

   Sospechoso de terrorismo del maraton de Boston Tsarnaev (FBI)

    Agentes Federales volaron a Watertown luego de que las localidades policiacas estuviesen involucradas en la persecucion y el tiroteo donde fueron identificados los hombres que la FBI tiene como sospechoso 1 y sospechoso 2 del bombardeo en el maraton de Boston. Durante la persecucion, los oficiales escucharon la radio de la policia describiendo que el hombre protaba armas, granadas y otros explosivos.

    NBC ha reportado que las autoridades han tomado a una cuarta y quinta persona, quienes todavia no han sido identificados pero han estado en custodia  desde este viernes por la mañana.

  El caos comenzo aproximadamente a las 10.20pm del jueves cuando los policias deijeron que los sospechosos del bombardero robaron un 7-eleven en Cambridge. Minutos mas tarde, segun la policia, el hombre le disparo y mato a un oficial de MIT quien respondia al llamado. El sospechoso de tal terror luego se robaria un Mercedes-Benz con el conductor adentro y huia, eventualmente dejando ir al conductor. Fue luego localizado en Watertown donde intercambiaron docenas de municiones de pistolas con los policias patrulleros.

   Tamerlan Tsarnaev fue herido por la policia y llevado al Centro medico Israel Beth. Llego al hospital con paro cardiaco por los multiples disparos de escopeta y una tronera en el pecho. El segundo de los sospechosos escapo a pie, quien es la mira de la caceria que todavia sige hasta estos momentos. "Creemos que estos son los terroristas," dice el comisionado de la policia de Boston Ed Davis. "Creemos que estos hombre vinieron aqui a matar gente. Necesitamos arrestarlos."

   Un oficial de transito, Richard H. Donohue, fue gravemente herido durante el intercambio de armas, segun un oficial.


   La policia de Boston dice que el sospechoso que queda esta de fuga y es el que tenia "la gorra de blanco" mostrado en las fotos sacadas el Jueves por el FBI en la investigacion de la doble explosion que mato a 3 personas y lesiono a otros 170 en el Maraton de Boston del Lunes.

    En la radio se alerto a los oficiales que el sospechoso describido como "el hombre de complexion oscura...con el cabello rizado, quien llevaba el sueter gris...tenia posiblemente un rifle de aslto y explosivos." La oplicia de Watertown, Newton, Brighton y Cambridge estan en alerta maxima. "Unidades deben estar prevenidas," decia un oficial. "El sospechoso puede tener explosivos en su ser." Los residentes alarmados en Watertown, un suburbio a 8 millas del centro de Boston fue ordenado a quedarse dentro de sus casas y que apagaran sus celulares a miedo de que esto vaya a detonar un explosivo improvisado.

"El sospechoso 2" visto tras las camaras de 7-Eleven; policia de Watertown (BPD/Getty)

   Docenas de oficiales de la policia, mucho de ellos fuera de servicio buscan por los patios al segundo de los sospechosos, y la policia ha marcado un perimetro de varias cuadras. Unidades K9 y de Swat buscan en casas por la calle Spruce mientras los oficiales de la policia usan robots para revisar la camioneta (SUV) que dejaron los sospechosos. Varios aparatos fueron dejados en la calle por los sospechosos y dos escopetas fueron recobradas segun los escaner de la policia.


   El cierre de Watertown ocurrio luego de que se produjera la balacera cerca de la Institucion de Tecnologia de Massachusetts, donde a un oficial de la policia le disparaban para luego morir. La universidad tambien fue cerrada por algunas horas, y a los estudiantes les dijerons que permanecieran dentro.

   Luego a eso de las 2am del Viernes, MIT emitio un comunicado diciendo que "desde esta mañana el sospechoso de los disparos no estaba en la universidad. Ahora esta seguro que regresen a las actividades normales. Por favor mantenganse vigilantes en las proximas horas." MIT, Harvard, la Universidad de Boston entre otros parauniversitarios han cancelado las clases.

Oficial de Policia muerto 

   El presidente Barrack Obama, quien atendio al servicio interreligioso hecho para las victimas del atentado en Boston este Jueves, fue actualizado de los sucesiddo en las horas de la noche, decia la casa blanca este Viernes. Aproximadamente a las 3.3am. La policia de Massachusetts emitio una suplica en Twitter para los residentes de Watertown que se encierren en sus cass y no le habran a nadie quien merode en el patio o fuera de las casas.

   "Residentes dentro y fuera de Watertown deberian quedarse en sus residencias," "la alerta se lee. "No atiendan a la puerta al menos de que sea un oficial de policia identificado."

   La policia descubrieron al sospechoso luego de una intensa busqueda en las fotos tomadas luego de que una victima del ataque pudo describir a los sospechosos, este reportaje fue descrito el Jueven a Bloomberg. La persona quien reporto a los sospechosos fue victima del atentado y sus piernas se las ha removido por las profundas heridas de tal acto terrorista.

A demonstrator from Lara, Venezuela


Translation from the Original: 

http://periodicoellibertario.blogspot.com/2013/04/lector-nos-informa-de-la-represion-en.html?showComment=1366335340876#c4459555986837885870

Reader informs about the Barquisimeto repression:


     In Barquisimeto we have a lot of readers due to the support we have done for those who resist the attacks from the police and the army against the popular ghettos of the city. One of the readers communicates a letter which we published.


A reader from Lara

Greeting dear friends:

   Barquisimeto is burning. Censorship imposes: just recently the local Lara's newspaper El Impulso and La Prensa  have informed the magnitude of the brutal aggression made by the GNB(The Army). This Saturday(4/13/2013) Lara's State Judge, the lawyer Jose Rafael Guillen, had a meeting with the MUD(Democratic Table of Unity) representatives and that same day he got fired, position which is now occupied by an evangelic lawyer who has connections with the former oficialist Governor Reyes. His son, Luis Jonas, President of the Legislative Council, runs the armed groups of the PSUV(United Party of Venezuelan Socialist) and is the coauthor, together with the General Octavio Chacon, regional chief of the Core4 and their compadres; the terrible General Rodriguez Figeroa, the one attributed with the cowardly attacks on the Barquisimeto population. Moreover Cuban mercenaries send orders from SEBIN (a FBI kind of force) and wiretap hundred of regional leader phones . At night they go to find residencies that protest(those hitting the pot) and tape them.

   The indignation is so intense that even religious sectors raised their voice in form of protest against those abuses and excesses. The Barquisimeto archbishop has complained strongly and only him was able to see some of the demonstrators who were arrested. One can not figure the real number of arrest due to lack of communication and also because they were sent to different commandos, personally, i think its about a hundred. moreover there are more than 40 injures and many of them gravely. The oppression is easily seen done by the Army (GNB) that moves in groups around all the city and hit any citizen or group that seem suspicious. Today 17 of the arrested were freed with measurements to comply every 15 days with them, but there's still a lot of demonstrators arrested. 

   In this moment we need all the support and solidarity anyone can give us in order to complain nationally and internationally the serious situation that our city holds.

   Evangelical Pastors across the state announced a vigil that will be hold tomorrow at 9.00pm until 6.00am of the next day as a call for peace.

   The violent political turmoil causes more violence in the streets: the  daily average of homicides is 3 and weekends about 8 to 10 daily.

   The National Guard(Army) should get the criminals instead they get the dissidents.

De Tenesi a lxs niñxs pobres: Geometria reprobada? No habra comida para ustedes


Spanish translation from the original article:

http://wonkette.com/498807/tennesee-to-poor-children-failed-geometry-no-food-for-you

De Tenesi a lxs niñxs pobres: Geometria reprobada? No habra comida para ustedes
Por el Doctor Zoom.



    Un senador de Tenese ha descifrado el porque lxs niñxs de provenientes de los hogares pobres no estan saliendo bien en clases - no es que la situacion de sus familias es sufucientemente fragil! para motivar a los pobres convertirse en mejores padres, Stacey Campfield (R-HardKnoxville) ha introducido una ley que pueda recortar la asistencia temporal para familia necesitadas por mas del 30% si los niñxs reprueban "satisfactoriamente el año academico." Sen. Campfield explica en su tonto blog que esta ley ayudara a "romper el ciclo de la pobreza." Porque como ningun estudio previo se ha hecho, lo que sostiente a los parientes de ayudarlos a tener un año escolar exitoso es el simple hecho de que todavia no han perdido la tercera parte de su ya bajo beneficios sociales. Es solo sentido comun.

    Campfield toma una verdad actual acerca del logro academico - investigaciones enseñan que uno de los grandes factores del exito del-a ninx es la cantidad de apoyo que se le da en la casa - y llega a la conclusion exactamente en la direccion opuesta. Pueden ver, dice, el exito educativo es casi parecido a un banquillo de tres piernas:

    El estado a puesto mucha responsabilidad en las escuelas y los profesores para mejorar el rendimiento academico en los estudiantes. Si el-a niñx no produce,  podra impactar la paga del profesor y el estatus de la escuela en el estado. Hemos presionado dos o tres tramos del rendimiento del estudiante (profesores y escuela) para mejorar, y estos lo hacen.

    Asi como estamos captivados por la imagen del empujar el banquillo de tres piernas para mejorar, lo dejaremos por un momento ya que Campfield esta de racha aqui:

    El banquillo de tres piernas (probablemente la pierna mas importante) son los parientes. Hemos hecho muy poco para tenerlos responsables del rendimiento del-a niñx. Lo que mi ley hara es el darles mas responsabilidad a los padres por el rendimiento de sus niñxs.

    Ustedes ven! Ya hemos hecho "responsables" a las escuelas y a los profesores amenazandolos con el recorte presupuestario o despidiendolos por rendimiento bajo segun el examen estandar de calidad dudosa, entonces porque no castigar a los parientes pobres tambien!.

    La logica de Campfield es implacable. Uno de los grandes factores de la pobreza es el bajo  logro educativo, asi que si hacemos las cosas aun mas dificiles para aquellas familia donde lxs niñxs no estan superandose, tendran ahora la motivacion para hacerlos. Debemos detener este tipo de escusas de aquellos parientes que no esten halando el peso:

    El estado no puede continuar apoyando la generacion ciclica de la pobreza. Solo porque los parientes dejaron la escuela no es aceptable que lxs niñxs lo hagan tambien. Los parientes son responsable de que sus niñxs este listos para la escuela y tenga educacion. Si los parientes no estan conteniendo esa pierna como trabajo (y sus niñxs no tienen ningun tipo de discapacidad) entonces el estado comenzara a retenerles una porcion de los beneficios sociales a los parientes.

    Verdad? que lo unico que entienden estas personas es la punzada del latigo, verdad? si tu niñz no esta saliendo bien, entoces cortarles los beneficios hara que pase las clases de literatura, obtenga un GED, llene de libros la casa, y magicamente ayude a su hijz a salir mejor en clase.

    Campfield discute que su meta "no es castigar a nadie", y que asegura en uno de sus actualizaciones estupidas en su blog, que programas similares ya estan "trabajando maravillas en mas de 40 paises," adjuntado una historia del NY Times que cita que la ley no es para cortarles los beneficios a los estudiantes que raspan, sino que retendran lo que les toca como meta y asi ayudarlos a conseguir el logro academico a travez del estimulo economico que tanto ha ayudado a la gente a salir de la pobreza.

    No tan sorprendente, algunos liberales locos han salido de sus molduras, o sillones, para oponerse a esta solucion de sentido comun: La Senadora lider de los Democratas Jim Kyle dijo en el Nuevo Sentinel de Knoxville que se opone a la ley porque podria "estropear el camino a lzs niñxs en riesgo," preguntando "Como es que el Senador Campfield espera que lzs niñzs hagan su tarea cuando no hay comida en la mesa?" son pistas falsas! El Senador Campfield responde en su tonto blog, su propocision solo afectara TANF, no los cesta tiquets, asi que la familias pobres todavia tendan su vodka y jugo de naranja que tanto les gusta.

    Otro falicitador de los flojos pobres, el director ejecutivo de la comision de lzs niñzs y jovenes de Tenesi Linda O'Neal, afirma que el recorte pagado a los recipientes de TANF creara de alguna forma problemas, pero luego se voltea y niega que dandole a los pobres incluso motivaria su situacion tambien.:

    "El beneficio maximo para una madre con dos hijos es de $185 al mes," O'Neal dice en su entrevista. "Ya esta lo suficientemente bajo. Si les quitan $60, lzs estan limitando a lo que actualmente les dificulta tener pocos recursos...solamente estaran amontonando los problemas"...

    Mas adelante, O'Neal dice que la ley, si promulgada, creara una nueva carga en las escuela y en los departamentos de Servicios Humanos, quines supervisan el programa de asistencia social, determinando que niñz esta "satisfactoriamente progresando academicamente" como requerido".

    Pshhh...Ella probablemente sugiere algo loco, como gastar dinero en la educacion del adulto o en la participacion social para animar a los parientes pobres en involucrarse mas en la educacion de los niñzs, ideas locas de un liberal que nuncan sirven, o que si sirven, costara dinero.

    Ademas, nosotros sabemos que es lo que en verdad ayuda al estudiante al exito: Juramentos de lealtad y ponerles pistolas a los estudiantes en la cabeza. A y por supuesto, rezar.

Comnicado para el 99%



English: 

I am a female mechanical engineering student. Dean’s List student, even for Calc 3 and Dynamics. I have no co-signer for loans, so I am only eligible for enough to cover books and tuition. It’s taken me 5 years to complete 6 semesters because I run up my credit cards to pay for gas and food, and I can’t go back until I pay the balance down. My cards are currently completely maxed, and I fear that I am beginning to lose Calculus knowledge that I learned in 2005. My car is ready to break down at 130,000 miles, and my debt payments are $700 just for interest every month. I have been paying on and off between semesters and I still have $5000 to go before I even begin to pay the principal balance. I’m 25, live at home, and I bartend 50 hours a week. I want to design machines and energy systems that have a positive impact on our society, but I’m getting you HAMMERED and cleaning up after your party instead. I especially enjoy when people talk to me like an idiot because you got the wrong cheese on your burger. I know - I’m serving you dinner because I must be a stupid girl.

Spanish Translation to the original article;
Soy una joven que estudia ingeneria mecanica. Estoy en la lista del decano, incluso con Calculo 3 y Dinamica. No tengo a un prestamista para el prestamo, y solo me prestan lo necesario para pagar los libros y las matriculas. Me ha tomado 5 años completar 6 semestres porque he gastado para pagar la gasolina y alimento usando la tarjeta de credito, y no puedo regresar hasta reducir el balance de esta. Mis tarjetas de credito estan completamente al maximo y temo que voy a perder lo aprendido en Calculo, cuando la vi en el 2005. Mi carro esta casi por dejar de funcionar ya que tiene 130 000 millas, y el pago de interes de mis tarjetas es de $700 al mes. He estado pagando un semestre si y uno no y todavia debo $5000 para empezar a pagar el balance principal. Tengo 25 años, vivo en casa, trabajo de mesonera las 50 horas a la semana. Quiero diseñar maquinas y sistemas de energia que tengan un impacto positivo a nuestra sociedad, pero estoy siendo GOLPEADA y ademas limpio lo que dejan los demas. Especialmente me gusta cuando la gente que atiendo en el restaurant me trata como una idiota cuando le traigo un queso distinto al que pidieron en su hamburguesa. Lo se - les estoy sirviendo porque soy una joven estupida.

For the free union assembly and the right to strike

http://periodicoellibertario.blogspot.com/

For the free union assembly and the right to strike, lets join Ruben in the open case against him.

Fecha: 10 de abril de 2013
Date: April 10 of 2013
Hora: 9 de la mañana
Lugar: Palacio de Justicia, Caracas

        Freedom for Rubén González, general secretary of sintraferromineria Orinoco.

       "Our common goal is to be able to live in a country were the rights and opportunities are for everybody"
Outlines of the case:

   Between the 11 and the 26 of August of 2009, Rubén González, with 2000 workers of Ferromineria(mining company union) Orinoco, started a strike for the in-completion of the collective convention signed the 5th of January of 2009, and approved the 1st of January of the same year. A month later Ruben got detained and imputed for the supposed crimes of insisting crime, restriction of freedom to work, and breach of security zones. Ruben was under house arrest until the 21 of January of 2010, date in which he was finally sent to the jail police of the Caroni county, of Bolivar state.

       Therefore, the 28th of February of 2001 was convicted to 7 years and 6 months of jail, which generated the movement and rejection of different syndicates and human rights organization in the country, achieving the nullity of trial, but no the law of the cause, for whom Ruben Gonzales had been liable to present himself regular y before the Tribunals, waiting the new trial to start against him. the open trial was due to start last 20/02/13 at 9.30pm but this one was postponed for the next 10th of April of 2013, so the Tribunal 24 of the Penal Judicial circuit of the Judicial circumscription of the metropolitan area of Caracas, begins the process.

      Rubén González case is one of the most enigmatic reflection of the Venezuelan state politics to criminalize protest and threaten against syndicate freedom. Same as him, more than 1200 syndicalist leaders are finding themselves threaten and called into trial by the tribunes, for the mare fact of exercising the free right to protest, consecrated by the National Constitution.

    Rubén González trial, is an assignation of primary order for the syndicalist organizations and of human rights defense. syndicalist freedom and the right to a pacific protest, without risks of incrimination and persecution on the behalf of government institutions, are indispensable complements for our construction of a real participation and leading democracy for the effective materialization of this "social state of right and justice" that our Carta Magna expresses.

T.V.: pledging more circus when there's less bread.



T.V.: pledging more circus when there's less bread.
L.M.A.

    The "Bread and Circus" expression comes from Latin(panem et circenses) which described the roman emperors politics of giving wheat and tickets to the roman circus games as a way of keeping the people entertained from its bad government problems. Moreover, the Maduro-Cabello duet don't give bread, but they do give digital television decoders pretending to keep the people distracted from the scarcity, inflation, insecurity, ect. This is not a new trick for the government, they already spend  500 million $ in a Chinese satellite that would have give the Venezuelans its quality of life. The government still thinks that by giving Chinese cellulars to low income families, they will forget not finding chicken, sugar, corn flour, oil, etc...

    The new toy to create temporal amnesia is the digital T.V. With great fuss and with the visit of Julio DeVido, whose Argentinian criminal record overflows of corruption complains from many year ago(enough to "Google" his name to see what this character brings), Venezuela opens the era of Digital T.V. Of course, only the smeared ones who come from the chavista's technological tables of telecomunication will have access to this immediate novelty, although theres a promese that the five initial channels will be broadcasted, between them Venevision, Televen and Meridiano TV according to the flamboyant Ministry of Science and Technology and Photoshop specialist.

    After confiscating the RCTV communications platform to open the road to a snake-sleeper as TVES is, this government achieved to have the mayor open telecommunications platform of the country, way more than Cisneros Venevision and any other open signal channel. But the problem is not the media, is the content of it. so much that the flamboyant Ministry of Photoshop are thinking in giving another circus but without any bread. Would, any of this, have  a  business contract? the first decoders will be given by our brothers from Brazil and maybe from the Argentinian of De Vido, who is used to these practices. What a big business! how much would the commission be? and how is this possible, for a government to spend a lot of money in a technology that comes from a narc, instead of helping the production of food and other urgent necessities!

    Maybe the problem where the Maduro-Cabello duet lies is that the Romans made all this circus to please the heart and stuff the belly in order to ease  the temper of a population. A lot, I am afraid, that in the release of these technology, with the sounds of drums and snares, the humble families received in their homes; with a new plasma-TV and its digital TV decoder, but this wasn't complete, the duet forgot the food, at least a small market of food for a month so they can enjoy the complete pack.

To a cemetery of common and communal advises.



To a cemetery of common and communal advises.
Prof. Oscar Bastidas Delgado (UCV)

     Chavez did not care for anything local, although, as militaristic, did strengthen its centralist State and social control. He eliminated the local assemblies, postponed the council and mayor elections, had a chain of failures in the popular productive economy: Auto Organized Sustainable Rural Villages system(Saraos); vertical hen-house of Merentes; intense hydroponic farming brought by the Agrarian University of Havana; Zamoranos Founds; Nucleus of Endogenous Development(Nubes); Social Production of Enterprises designed by bureaucrats of the PDVSA office; Socialist Enterprises that dont pay their workers and in majority private; supposed congestion in that the government got its private employer the 51% of the state's enterprises actions; Social Property of Enterprises; and communal councils with the rebuff of economic cooperatives and its credits as well as its banks; and more than one commune rejected in the 2007 Referendum.

        This failure came accompanied by a bureaucratic framework without a clear politic: State Ministry for the development of the social economy for a delegate that didnt visit a cooperative(Nov. 2002); Returned Faces Mission, then Che Guevara, 2007; and four more ministries; Popular Economy(Minep), Endogenous Development(both Sept. 2004), Communal Economy(2007), and Social Protections and Comunes(2009). Result: Chavez had a cemetery of cooperatives, in the mayor world.

    Causes of the failure: 1.- Politicization to exhort the bolivarian circle to construct them; 2.- incomprehension of the cooperative corporate dimension; 3.- government with cooperatives with families and friends getting the contracts; 4.-Dead funding, with political goals and under the table commissions; 5.- Human potential underestimated, of the formation and training, thinking that with a bill everything was sufficient. Chavez had the audacity to accuse the capitalistic cooperatives, when the fake capitalistic, "mickey mouse" were his.

      These reasons linger. his heirs appear not to comprehend failures and continue to impose the patters from the top, excluding those who oppose the regime, manipulating the population with fear. the Ministry for the Communes confirms that "the north of the revolution are the communes" and that "cooperatives have to be confronted". we reply: a government that impose those models, not only ignores the strengths of the people to auto-organize but it also loses the "creative power of the people" emphasized by Nazoa. Ministry: you forget, same as Chavez, that the State is liable to impulse, encourage and protect the genuine popular organizations like the cooperatives; you forget that your government survives thanks to your savage capitalistic state, to your capitalistic communism(70% of that we eat is imported), and moreover to your militaristic and bureaucratic framework; in that context we understand your position but we do not share its views. Secretary: cooperativism is democracy in progress, contrary to what you and your regime does.



Debate: Chávez, the antimodel (2010)




Debate: Chávez, the antimodel

Marc Saint-Upéry

    To show the chavista experience as an inspiration of the left is simply an intellectual fraud. If one wants to debate about Venezuela, one better not confuse debate with half-trues and political slogans based on guided visits to the bolivarian circle of the "pomtakim commune". As an observant and an activist from more than 15 years, i am also active in the french leftist front. For these reasons i want to give my point of view.

    Profited by the richness of the most abundant oil production in its history, Venezuela began a political campaign in 2003 to reduce poverty, by merits but problematic in its methods as a substance. In the last 5 years, this way to do politics faced limited managerial professionalism with the persistent problems of insecurity, inflation, lack of houses and employment. In regards to the march to "socialism", there are ideological methods that simply dont match with the ideals, like the growth of the private sector in Chávez mandate.

    Moreover the confirmed dawn of the bolivarian "missions"- inyected with petrodollars every election season- instead of a serious social production articulated in a reformed state. leave all social managerial productions to be made by extra-institutionalized commando without any horizon and poorly defined, when, if not, are controlled by foreign countries in exchange of oil gifts.

    There's no need to be lead by the right-wing media to understand this kind of pseudo-politics who are  being feed by the twisted logic of the Venezuela petro-state and its hypocrital ideological scams. In a document of 2011, the communist party of Venezuela, allied with Chavez, showed that no only the "landlord model of capitalism is dependent and unproductive, which has dominated the country, is still active" but he also supports it. As well as not finding "any progress in the diversification of the economy", he has made Venezuela deeply dependent of it -technology and livestock in particular- the triumph of the imported parasitic bourgeoisie, the paid communist who promote the marginalized initiatives of cooperative types or "enterprises of social production" who are told to say that those social means of productions are"not that beneficial" to the country- an courteous euphemism in the view of the observable territorial disasters .

    Reported failures of the hyper-presidency and the lack of total "collective direction", describes the bolivarian state as "highly inefficient", it is observed as an "intensification of corruption" and it is sad that its social progress seems to be partial and fragile, which explains that "in some case we had move back, as in the managerial organization and coordination, as well as in the basic social service loans." conclusion: "the preaching of socialism by some gubernatorial actors is fatal in their actions, and the tension generated by the growing breach its at its maximum".

    With the diagnose, in the last years, a lot of political and social organizations, as well as thousands of progressive honest activists had left the bolivarian process. Right after, they were tilted as "traitors" and "imperialistic agents" by the governmental goons, furthermore, all those who left the bolivarian process have thousands of reasons to complain and protest the contradictions established by the ultra-authoritarian and systematic voice of Chávez who said :"i command total loyalty to my leadership, i am not an individual, i am the people...unity, freedom of speech but loyalty to me...everything else is treachery." (chavez 2010).

    Lets wrap up. Socially, all the push redistributed in the year of 2004-2006- were incredible erratic, but with the merit of putting the social causes as the center of a political debate- which gave them total control of the governmental powers that followed a phase of failures related to the rentist state colonized by the new bourgeoisie "bolibourgouise". In the economic, there's an absurd incrementation of that parasitic model, dependent and corrupted that chavez didnt created but took it as its maximum level, a socialist propaganda generated in order to betray the people and stab them in the back by supporting total access to private properties and the de-nationalization of the 40 % of the country's oil wealth. international, everybody not knowing venezuelan politics knows that chavez lost all credibility made by his inconsistency and sterile production. the "anti imperialistic" rhetoric of the regime, with its excellent relations with the USA, reduces its effects as those who wanted a free country, or an unique currency but were the opposite and were killed by their people, like Gaddafi, or those dictators who provoke other countries, are obsessed with power and control and kill their own people like Assad, or dictators like Ahmadinejad or Lukashenko. Meanwhile, Chávez regime, now with Waduro, is dependent of Brazilian multinationals and lived under a idyll with what it was his "best friend" the Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos, a key allied of Washington.

    In this field of institutionalized practices, Chávez government without a doubt  isnt a dictatorship; but lets use an European comparison: in a gradient of manipulative authoritarianism that goes from Bertolusconi to Putin, he was similar in their methods and in their spirits to a regime like Viktor Orban of Hungria. Handcuffed  justice, criminalization of social movements and warfare from syndicalist, arbitrary imprisonment, laboral discrimination by ideological tendency, systematic confusion between state and party, disdain for the mechanism and warranties established by their own constitution, made in 1999, tolerance when it comes to corruption made by the party elites of the chavistas so called revolutionaries and new ubber Venezuelan ruling class. At last, so much for its millitant ethics, Chávez and its regime, now with Waduro, have a hypercaudillism characterized by their criminalistics tendencies and a double standard ideology.

    As its slight erosion of the 2007 electoral campaign, Chávez had a charismatic capital enough to win the elections, which now was in shambles due to the inefficiency of Waduros ignorance and arrogance. Venezuela has the right to choose their representatives without external ingerency, something that didnot happened with the Waduro campaign, who sang the Cuban national hymn, and was highly advised by them. But in conclusion, the bolivarian "model" is exactly the opposite of what a leftist would hope for.

    *NdT: El Frente de Izquierda francés reúne el Partido de Izquierda (que nació de una escisión del Partido Socialista), el Partido comunista y varias corrientes independientes. Varios dirigente del Partido de Izquierda han lanzado desde hace unas semanas un campaña de apoyo incondicional y acrítico a Hugo Chávez que genera cierto malestar en algunos sectores militantes.

Accion Directa regresa de nuevo #1: Tenesi

Un legislador a cedido y aceptado anular su ley que une el progreso  academico con la  ayuda social de la familia luego de que una niña de 8 años lo avergonzara tras perseguirlo por todo el capitolio estatal.

En su via para votar el jueves, el senador del estado. Stacey Campfield fue enfentrado por una niña de 8 años, estudiante de casa, Aamira Fetuga, quien le presento una peticion firmada por la gente que se opone a su ley, de acuerdo con el de Tenesi. Cerca, un coro de mas de 60 activistas cantaban "Jesus ama a los niños." refiriendose a la religion practicada por el senador.

"Eres debil por no escuchar a una niña," le dijo una madre  a Campfiel cuando era seguido por la niña.

"Porque quieres quitarle los beneficios a la gente? la niña de 8 años, Fetuga, le preguntaba antes de encontrarlo en la escalera del Capitolio.



"Bueno, no lo haria si los parientes fueran a la escuela y a las conferencias, ahi, luego estarian exonerados", explicaba el senador del estado.

La confrontacion continuo durante lo que seria una larga e incomoda caminata en el piso del senado por Campfield.

Campfield decidio retirar la ley antes de la votacion el jueves despues de que varios otros que lo apoyaban comenzaran a expresar dudas.

"Se puede decir que el retener el dinero de los padres no daña al niño, pero en ese caso te estas engañando" afirmaba el senador lider de las masas mayoritarias Mark Norris(Republicano).





Segun la ley de Campfield, las familias pudieron haber perdido mas del 30 por ciento del programa de ayuda social que les da la Asistencia Temporal para Familias con Necesidad(TANF) si ela niñx no atiende regularmente y tiene "un progreso academico satisfactorio".

Por otro lado la protesta, Campfield acoto, "es lo que es".

"Siempre habran opositores".
