well enough to have a clear view of things.
You remember the violent demonstration the opposition employs, called "guarimba," apparently runs all the way up to, and including the "guarimba" advocate, Cuban Venezuelan Roberto Alonso's housing and arming over 100 Colombian paras near his ranch, "Daktari," outside Caracas, which, when they were arrested after living there for over 3 months, they testified was the preliminary stage of their plan to overthrow the government, force their way into Miraflores, and kill Chavez, after breaking into a National Guard armory and stealing enough weapons for 1,500 men.
This is on record, in testimony from the Colombian men captured and arrested, and imprisoned who revealed they were hired and organized by Venezuelan right-wing opposition.
(Roberto Alonso is directly connected to the violent reactionary Cuban "exiles" in South Florida who participated in innumerable acts of violence all over the world, including the assassination teams in Operation Condor, killing leftists all over Latin America, even car bombing Chilean leftist diplomat and his American assistant, on the streets of Washington, D.C. in broad daylight, and deep involvement in Iran/Contra. Alonso is the leading proponent of "guarimba.")
Who can forget the vicious violence of the opposition in 2002, when they started dragging their ####ing industrial sized slingshots to "demonstrations" and killed a man with a marble fired into his brain?
That's where something far nastier developes where "freedom of speech" used to be!
Opposition's version of "free speech" during demonstration.It's so sad when clearly underinformed people enter discussion here among people who've been following Latin America policy for years and years at D.U., and insist others attend them and respond to their hopelessly ignorant gibberish.
They need to do as we all have done ourselves, in order to know anything: shut the #### up and start reading, and read until they know what the #### they're attempting to discuss. You can't get there from a position of total ignorance and belligerance.
They have to disengage their mouths first, and start doing their homework.
Thanks for the article. I'll be back to read it later today, when I have some quiet time.
