While Venezuelan Civilians March ....

Updating as needed:

The following picture is circulating the Internet! Hopefully, world leaders like President Obama are paying attention to what is taking place in Venezuela, perhaps some of them understand that Chavez is a human rights abuser:

While Venezuelan civilians march peacefully on this date of September 5, the news that the Venezuelan Embassy in Austria is providing passports to foreigners is circulating the Internet.

Venezuelan civilians who are marching report that the event has been peaceful without Chavez's thugs abusing citizens as it happened a few days ago where among several human rights abuses tear gas was thrown inside the Metro stations to hurt peaceful marchers: (please visit my blog posting dated August 22).

GANDHI: Whenever I despair, I remember that the way of truth and love has always won. There may be tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they may seem invincible, but in the end, they always fail. Think of it: always.

There are marches scheduled for September 5 in Caracas to protest Chavez's abuse of power. The protests will be peaceful, and journalists are urged to cover the events. Chavez, as usual, may send police with riot gear, and the infamous tear gas against unarmed civilians.

Venezuelans need help to restore democracy, and stop Chavez's human rights abuses.

Cordially,

Chávez’s Covert War by Otto Reich - Aug. 28, 2009

Dear Journalists,

U.S. Ambassador Otto Reich writes an eye opener in his article Chávez’s Covert War published on Foreign Policy magazine for those who still can not see what Hugo Chavez is all about . Ambassador Reich says that "Obama needs to call Venezuela’s president what he is: a terrorist and a drug-trafficker."

Those of us who have followed Ambassador Reich's work for the last several years are aware that he knows Venezuelan politics and Chavez's alleged wrong doings. This article should not be seen as Republican nor Democrat opinion, but as the truth of the grave political situation in Venezuela.

http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2009/08/28/chavez_s_covert_war

"Corruption and politicization have weakened Venezuela's military, despite its acquisition of billions of dollars of Russian and other foreign weaponry. Plus, in his 10 years in power, Chávez has only ever pointed his guns at defenseless Venezuelan civilians. Bullies like him do not forewarn their intended victims."

The following article written by Enrique ter Horst is a Summary on Venezuela - The Extraordinary Summit Meeting of UNASUR. I have not found where this article has been published, but it comes from an excellent source, and it is currently circulating the Internet.

Hopefully, world leaders and their staff will read these articles..

Cordially,

Dear Journalists,

In memory of U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy http://www.tedkennedy.org/

Venezuelans do not live in peace. Citizens are constantly harassed, threatened and abuse by deranged and oppressive Hugo Chavez. The infamous leader continues with his routine insults calling those who want to prosper oligarchs while Chavez himself is allegedly richer than ever.

Citizens are protesting for freedom, and abuse of power. The following report is from photojournalists who protested against Chavez's attacks against journalists:
