Carlos Andres Chavez

Despues que hablaron tanta basura de Carlos Andres Perez ahora vemos como Hugo Rafael termina con el regalo de la Ley Habilitante. Una vez queda demostrado que el poder definitivamente corrompe y que el vacio de ideas de los Bolsivarianos es obvio y contundente.

Pero no es de extrañar. Que se puede esperar de un grupo de idiotas que siguen enamorados de una idea que caduco sin haber arrancado? Y no le estoy diciendo idiotas a Chavez y Compañia sino a los pendejos que le dieron el poder y siguen creyendo en el pajarito preñado del Socialismo/Comunismo. Cuando los fundadores del juego de pelota (Lease los Rusos) mandaron para la mierda el sistema porque no servia y los tenia pasando hambre, es como de gafos seguir tratando de implementarlo.

Por ciertos, a todos aquellos que se les advirtio que estyos animalitos eran de corte Ñangara y respondieron "Comunismo aqui en Venezuela? Eso nunca va a pasar! La gente no lo permitira!" permitanme decirles que creo que se pelaron..... digo yo ...nose... saludos camaradas!

Jericho, Jack Bauer, Chavez and the quote about paranoia.

Two of my favorite shows are 24 and Jericho. If you do not know about 24, this would be a great time to get out of the backwards place you are living in and get a TV. But just to give you a hint, let me tell you something: Don't fuck with Jack Bauer.
Jericho deals with a society that has its standard structures removed by a tactical nuclear attack in the US and the suspension of the normal way of living and how some adapt to the change while others clings to things that do not exist or matter anymore. The old quote about paranoia is the one that says that You Might Be Paranoid, But That Does Not Mean You Are Not Being Followed. My version is simply: Paranoia Pays.

Over a decade ago, the paranoid in me saw that things were about to change in Venezuela and not for the better. I had a strong gut feeling that Chavez was going to take over the country thanks to people being fed up with the old political structure and the most colossal political error made by any president in Venezuela: Caldera's decision to pardon Chavez before a trial even started.

So, I moved to the US. At the time many of my friends, family and acquaintances stated that I was crazy. I had a prosperous business, my own house, place at the beach, 2 cars, etc and people thought I had lost all my marbles plus some screws when I decided to get the hell out of dodge. Now, the same people who criticized me are living the hell that is the Chavista Revolution. They are literally living in fear, chugging prozac and sleeping pills, afraid for their jobs and their lives. Those who can, barricade themselves behind tall walls, razor wire, motion sensors connected to alarms & lights and fear to venture outside after sundown. They wish to get out but tose who have no way to get out just mope, complain and do nothing but take it up the ass day in and day out.

Now, do I feel sorry for them? Nope, not one bit. The signs of the shitstorm to come were there to see, the chose to ignore them or just dismiss them as rants of a paranoid. Even when Chavez got in power and things started to change, they commented that things were not so bad and that he would not dare to become a tyrant. Now he is one and they find themselves with a choke collar to the nuts. They got what they deserve.

And it is not that a voting population does not make a mistake, but the true measure of testicular fortitude is doing what needs to be done to correct the mistake and that, sadly is what is lacking in Venezuela right now: The guts to change by any means what is going on. The "peaceful" measures have been tried and failed but somehow the "other" option does not compute in their minds. They are not willing to take the fight to the enemy and beat him so they wait for God, the CIA or a meteorite to do it for them. They do not deserve it.

Until the Venezuelan people cease to be rag dolls and become Jack Bauers, they'll continue to be rectally probed without the benefit of lubrication by a minority of hooligans who do have the balls to ream them often and long.


Addendum:
There is a story of a German general visiting the German/Swiss border Pre-WWII. He is having some sort of press conference and he points out the "mightiness" of the German army and the futility of fighting against it. Laughingly he points over the border and says: "If we are to send one million German soldiers across the board, what do you think five hundred thousand swiss could do to stop us?" From the other side of the border the voice of a Swiss border guide came loud and clear:
"Shoot twice."

Germany never invaded Switzerland.

Reduccion del Crimen en Venezuela

Asalto a un autobús culminó con un muerto y un herido
El robo fallido ocurrió en la línea Conductores de Miranda (Gustavo Bandres)
Quien asesinó a los presuntos asaltantes se marchó sin esperar la llegada de la policía

LAURA DÁVILA TRUELOEL UNIVERSAL

La mañana del pasado viernes un grupo de pasajeros que hacía la ruta
Petare-Guarenas en uno de los autobuses de Conductores de Miranda, vieron cómo dos muchachos que subieron armados para robar a los pasajeros caían uno muerto y uno herido en el suelo de la unidad.
Quien atacó a los delincuentes era un hombre armado que, tras disparar con precisión a la cabeza de los dos jóvenes, pasó por arriba de los cuerpos, se bajó del autobús y se marchó sin decir nada ni esperar la llegada de la policía.
Los funcionarios adscritos a la subdelegación de El Llanito del Cuerpo de Investigaciones Científicas, Penales y Criminalísticas identificaron a los dos muchachos como Gimmy Marcelino Lara Flores, de 25 años, y Jesse Junior Cantillo Blanco, de 18 años. Lara fue trasladado al hospital Pérez de León con una herida en la cabeza, pero falleció antes de llegar. Cantillo fue llevado al Domingo Luciani de El Llanito donde se recupera de dos heridas: una en la región nasal y otra en el cuello.
En la morgue de Bello Monte los familiares de Lara esperaban que les entregaran el cuerpo del muchacho. Allí comentaron que era el menor de 8 hermanos y que trabajaba de 9:00 de la noche a 6:00 de la mañana como caletero en una empresa de lácteos, dijeron no saber cómo mataron al joven. Afectados, los dos hermanos de Lara parecían desconocer si en efecto su hermano estaba involucrado en alguna actividad delictiva. Los efectivos del Cicpc han interrogado a los testigos para tratar de establecer la identidad y el paradero del hombre que se marchó tras disparar a los dos jóvenes.

Un ciudadano armado, posiblemente de manera ilegal debido a las leyes de "pacificacion" (lease de desarmamiento de civiles) Venezolanas neutraliza a dos criminales. Dos criminales que se levantaron pensando en los dinerillos que iban a robar de gente honesta terminan uno en el hospital y otro en la morgue: basicamente donde merecian estar. Pero para la reportera o su editor, esto no es mas que un homicidio y lo sabemos por el uso de la siguiente oracion:

"Quien asesinó a los presuntos asaltantes se marchó sin esperar la llegada de la policía."

Mientras no sepamos hacer disticion entre asesinato y auto-defensa, los criminales seguiran teniendo las de ganar. Por una vez, los Buenos le ganaron la partida a los Malos. Quien haya sido el que saco de circulacion a ambos bandidos debe ser consagrado como heroe y no como Asesino.

One down.......

Justice is done. Mr. Saddam is now being slowly grilled in Satan's Kitchen paying for his misdeeds & Crimes.

Now I am waiting for the backlash that is sure to come. Not the so-called "insurgents" but from their allies: Human Rights Activists.

I am sure the news will be flooded soon by the cries of those who think Saddam should have been giving a life sentnce in an air-conditioned cell with three healty squares a day and DirecTV with all the options. And of course they will say that what was done here is just another example of the barbaric practices of the Bush Administration and its puppets in the Iraqi government. To them I say with all my respect: Fuck You! He got what he deserved.

The planet feels a little nicer today, Evil was sent to where it belongs. Good riddance.

Next tyrant?

On Shopping (A Rant)

So I was told in no uncertain terms by the wife that jeans and old t-shirt with the messed-up vest I use everyday will simply not cut it in order to go to the Company’s Christmas party next Sunday. I am covered in the pants and shoes section but lacking on the nice-shirt and decent-looking cover garment part (one non-negotiable requisite was that I am packing come hell or high water) and thus I must get suitable threads. I try to evade the deal by asking the wife to come with me on Saturday to a super-duper-mega-huge outlet mall near the Everglades but she used logic (I hate when she does that) and reminded me that this coming weekend is the last one before Christmas Eve and it would be busy and crazy enough for me to start foaming at the mouth and go ballistic 35 seconds after I we go in. Defeated, I promise her to go in the afternoon, on my own, and get me a nice red shirt and a light black jacket which are the color she chooses for my ensemble. I park very near the first store she “suggested” I check: Burlington Coat Factory. I am not kidding, I was literally less than 20 yards from the entrance and I thought to myself: “Whoa, this might not be bad after all.” Foolish thought!I go inside BCF and head straight for the Jackets. I look for black….. and it must be a fashion faux ‘cause other than tuxes, nothing was black. Charcoal, Grey, White, Cream with Black pinstripes and other assorted and very “pimpish” cuts and models. Oh hell, it does not look good! After 20 minutes of search I decide to peruse the shirt section and find one single solitary red shirt about 4 sizes too small so I return to the jackets. On the way I have to go by the winter clothing and I am stunned to see people actually buying parkas, gloves and scarves which is not that unusual if you are in a BCF in Montana but this is South Frigging Florida and it is eighty degrees outside! I can’t help myself and I ask a group of younger fellas buying the stuff if they are planning to go up north for a trip and they all said one of two things: It might get cold on January (it may get down to 60) or “It looks cool.” Or something along those lines. BCF is a bust so I go to J.C. Penny’s where some cheap crap might be found in the Rod Stewart Collection but it is also a bust. They had like five dress jackets and about seven hundred parkas. No red shirts either but I did manage to catch a set of metric wrenches for nine bucks. At least I got something. Next Store: Super Target. The Super Target is a repeat of the first two incursions: nothing but frigging parkas or crappy-colored THICK wool suits. Shirts were available in red but damn if I was going to buy a shirt that cost one and a half times more than a 5.11 vest for one event. I decide to turn around and I can’t find a dam aisle that is not blocked by either people, stuff or (I wonder who was the genius behind this) another aisle running 90 degrees against the aisle I was in. I ended up having to go through women’s undergarments, cut by toys (Barbie section) where I could glimpse the exit far far away. On my way out I see this kid, some 12 years old wearing a pair of parachute pants that were so big you could not see his shoes and was trailing like 5 feet of assorted fabric straps. He looked like he had last choice at the Salvation Army Free Pant Giveaway but he had the snug look that say “Look at me! I look Cool!” So I end up apologizing to the kid and the mom after I “accidentally” step on the straps and the kid lands face first on the aromatherapy bath oil gift baskets. I made a quick exit before security gets there and get arrested for assaulting a Clown or a White Boy dressing as Rapper (misdemeanor in the State of Florida. You get 30 seconds of community service and an award for Environmental Improvement). By now I am in the middle of super-duper-mega-huge outlet mall when it dawns on me: “Get a dressy vest!” DUH! I should have thought of that! So I go on the hunt again and found out that: 1) Vests seem to be outdated. 2) Whatever vest offerings are there are only for very thin women or for the Artist Formerly Known as Prince. 3) Leather Vests are frigging expensive and too damn short.So I give up and try to head back to where my car was parked….. and then I realize I have no idea where I was. No information booth in sight, no way I was going to ask a Security guy (they might still be looking for me) and there is no “You Are Here” anywhere. I do get lucky and see a maintenance guy who points me in the right direction and gives me a 2 page-long set of instructions on how to get back to BCF. I do not deviate from the instructions, although not being able to stop at the Cinnabuns was a hardship, and make it to BCF and eventually my truck. YESSSS!I climb in, light up and feel my blood pressure drop as my body relaxes. I start the truck and try to head for home when a cute blond cuts me off the exit trying to get a space about to be freed by another leaving customer. I need about 10 inches of clearance to go by but Blondie can’t seem to figure out that she is blocking me. I roll down my window, smile and wave at her signaling that she should also roll down her window. She does it with a flashing smile and I ask her: “Are you a real blonde?” She perks up, smiles even bigger and proudly says yes. Then the true-exhausted and defeated me appeared: “Well, I can @##% tell you are a @##% Blonde! Move you @##%*& car so I can get by!” And after some 20 seconds of her neuron processing the information and some hard blinking she finally gave me enough space to pass and make my escape to I-75.I called my wife and informed her on how I failed to accomplish the mission. She laughed and said no to worry that she may know a store where she could get me a shirt, but that I had to find out where to get a cover garment. I hung up and ruminated all the way home what to do. Then, inspiration from Above! My memory remembered a picture of an old feller from the Old Country with white socks, sandals and a decent looking vest. YES!!! Smith & Alexander might be the answer! I checked the website, gave them a call and a very nice lady informed me that black Smith & Alexander Vests were available and she could send me one with enough time to make it to the party. I made it! I ordered it and was feeling pretty damn good about conquering the task imposed by the wife. My wife arrived some 10 minutes later than usual with a decent looking red shirt, in my size and proceeded to tell me that it took her all of 45 seconds to locate the darn thing and another 30 seconds to pay and leave the store. “I don’t know why you are such a baby when it comes to shopping.” she quipped. I kept my mouth shut. I know I managed to score a victory with the vest but I felt shamed that I strayed away from the usual sources for CCW people and went with the Regular Folk stuff. There is a lesson there Folks. As for shopping, unless I hear that Kmart is selling Colt M4’s for under $200, I am planning to stay the hell away from any place of shopping until sometime after January 6th. It is a frigging Jungle Out there and the vines are all full of nutjobs!
