Venezuela's Political Disaster - October 22, 2008

Dear Journalists,

El Universal reports "Venezuelan opposition Group G-400+, composed of former ministers, politicians, intellectuals, businesspersons and artists, forwarded last Friday a letter to Colombian President Álvaro Uribe asking the ruler to provide the Organization of American States (OAS) with details on the alleged links between Venezuelan government officials and the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC)."

Ambassador Adolfo Taylhardat wrote on his opinion column comparing McCain/Obama campaigns and their relationship with Hugo Chavez explaining the different ideology of their direct advisors. Sen. McCain has Otto Reich who knows Chavez having worked as Ambassador in Venezuela in 1986 and witnessing the deterioration of the nation. Amb. Reich understand the thug thinking of the infamous dictator. Sen. Obama has Daniel Restrepo as advisor who says that Obama will have "coffee" with Chavez!

In my personal opinion, as an American citizen I have not decided who to vote for as U.S. President. Perhaps the best ticket would be McCain/Biden since I worry sick about Senator Barack Obama and Gov. Sarah Palin. Sen. Obama's close net officials have been visiting Chavez for the last few years, and Gov. Palin is a sports hunter killing innocent animals with pleasure. Also, Sen. Obama has not learnt yet that the current highly educated political government officials in Colombia are friends of the United States, and are doing an excellent job keeping peace with intelligence.

Venezuelans need help from developed governments and international organizations to restore democracy and end corruption.

There are numerous reports that Venezuelans are experiencing no water, nor electricity this morning in many sectors of Caracas, and several states.


Aproximadamente a quince minutos para las once de la mañana, se registró una falla eléctrica en varias regiones del país. Caracas, San Cristóbal, sectores de Maracaibo, el estado Aragua y Guárico han sido afectados. Aún se desconoce la razón del problema y no se cuenta con información oficial al respecto. En la capital la falla afecta a la mayoría de los sectores, mientras que en Maracaibo el servicio eléctrico fue suspendido en la zona oeste y norte, específicamente en la avenida 5 de julio, Fuerzas Armadas, 18 de octubre y en la zona de El Amparo. Y en Táchira buena parte de San Cristóbal y los municipios aledaños no cuentan con luz. Según el corresponsal de Globovisión en la zona, este corte eléctrico fue un poco más temprano, desde las 10:30 am aproximadamente. Aragua, específicamente los municipios Girardot y Mario Briceño Iragorry, fueron afectados por el corte. Ya las comunidades tienen más de una hora sin luz. Los sectores de Ortiz y El Sombrero de Guárico también han sido afectados.
