Please know that they same group who attacked Globovision on this date allegedly is responsible for the attacks against Caracas' synagogue a few months ago. There are reports that the alleged leader of that violent group meets with Chavez on a regular basis.

Immediately following the violent attack in Globovision Venezuela suffered a nationwide four-hour electrical blackout which citizens accuse Chavez of manipulating to avoid the spread of the news.

Venezuelans are not able to defend themselves against Chavez and his thugs. The actions that Venezuelans are experiencing under Chavez qualify as abuses against human rights.

While former metro bus driver nominated Foreign Minister by Chavez was quoted about Chavez's position on Israel his supporters destroyed an Israeli organization offices in Caracas:

Quotable from earlier this week

"There is not and will never be any anti-Semitism. (Such claims) purport to blackmail by arguing that anyone who criticizes Israel's leaders joins automatically and forthwith the list of anti-Jewish people. Our criticism has been and remains effective in the face of the crimes of political leaders of the State of Israel." Foreign Minister Nicolás Maduro

Venezuela's Political Disaster - January 10, 2009

Dear Journalists,

Updated on January 11, 2009

The Venezuelan press reports that Chavez is uniting with Iran to implement punitive actions against Israel

http://www.noticias24.com/actualidad/noticia/22559/venezuela-e-iran-preparan-gestiones-para-sancionar-a-israel/

Free money!

Chavez donated US$53 million to thirty three countries as reported by Globovision in the link below:

http://www.globovision.com/news.php?nid=107710

No wonder Chavez has so many admirers and followers! He buys people, and shame to those who take from Venezuelan citizens while they need the money to improve their own quality of life.

Venezuelans are questioning why is Chavez reacting with so much passion and furor concerning the current war between Israel and the group Hamas. Venezuelan Journalist and Sociologist Macky Arenas asks in her article ¿No les parece raro? (Isn't it odd?). Ms. Arenas explains that Venezuelans have always lived in peace and respect with different ethnic groups and that a Mosque and a Synagogue are very close to each other in Caracas.

http://www.gentiuno.com/articulo.asp?articulo=7226

I wonder if Chavez, while eating his coca leaves for energy, has been financing Hamas? Chavez continues to seize the television networks providing bias, and hatred information concerning the current war in the middle east. Chavez should be censured, and citizens should teach both sides of the conflict to those citizens that do not know what is really taking place in this conflict.

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

Cordially,

Venezuela's Political Disaster - February 1, 2009

Update

Dear Journalists,

Anti-Semitism acts against Jewish people in Venezuela are allegedly been performed by a small group with destruction similar to the ones done to the new Mayor's building.

Please know that this is a new and vicious attitude implemented by hostile, extremist groups which do not reflect the general sentiment of the Venezuelan population. Venezuelans have always lived in harmony with different ethnic groups, and Jewish people have made enhancements, and very important contributions to Venezuela.

Student Protest in Caracas

Dear Journalists,

Venezuelan students accompanied by many sharing their disgust towards Chavez's abuse of power marched today in different Caracas' main streets assuring that the vote NO will win in the scheduled election to take place on February 15:

One of my favorite quotes as provided by Harvard Internationalist Pedro Mario Burelli is the following"

"Señaló el dirigente estudiantil que este país siempre ha sido un paraíso para toda clase de personas sin distingo de religión, raza o ideología política. "Nunca había sido malo ser rico, pobre o de clase media, cristiano o judío. Siempre ha sido un paraíso de convivencia, y no nos lo van a quitar", dijo Smolansky."

Rough translation: Student leader Smolansky said that Venezuela has been a paradise to all people without distinction of religion, race, and political ideology. "Never was bad to be rich, poor, or middle class, Christian or Jewish. Always had been a paradise to live in harmony and that is not going to be taken from us." Smolansky referred to the infamous hatred rhetoric expressed by Chavez in his speeches to the nation.

The following link is to pictures from the student protest:
http://www.noticias24.com/fotos/482/fotos-de-la-marcha-por-el-no/

Concerning the destruction at the Synagogue in Caracas a few days ago, Ambassador Adolfo Taylhardat wrote his opinion column to describe the total abuse from alleged Chavez's supporters, and to provide his support for freedom in Venezuela respecting all faiths:

Un acto de vandalismo imperdonable
http://www.eluniversal.com/2009/02/04/opi_art_un-acto-de-vandalism_04A2213741.shtml

There is hope among Venezuelan people that this is the end of Chavez since the infamous leader has lost most of his support.

City Violence

Update 2:

“La Piedrita” planta cara a Hugo Chávez
http://www.noticias24.com/actualidad/noticia/24214/la-piedrita-planta-cara-a-hugo-chavez/

After reading the above article with the response from La Piedrita to Chavez it sounds similar to what Chavez says all the time in his speeches to the nation full of hatred. Humm, as Clark Kent is really Superman; thus, as a Logic professor would say if Clark Kent is Superman is Chavez La Piedrita?

Update 1:
Seven police officers were detained as possible responsibles for the attacks against the Synagogue in Caracas:

Detienen a 7 policías (PM, CICPC y PoliCaracas) por el ataque a la Sinagoga

http://www.noticias24.com/actualidad/noticia/24208/detienen-a-7-policias-pm-cicpc-y-policaracas-por-el-ataque-a-la-sinagoga/

A grenade was thrown inside the Accion Democratica offices this morning.

Arrojan granada a sede de Acción Democrática
http://www.globovision.com/news.php?nid=109662

This was following another bomb inside the Church of San Jose de Chacao earlier this morning:

Artefacto explosivo detonó en la madrugada en la Iglesia San José de Chacao

http://www.noticias24.com/actualidad/noticia/24201/artefacto-explosivo-detono-en-la-mardugada-en-la-iglesia-san-jose-de-chacao/

It seems that Chavez's thugs are starting to feel the losing streak. So, what are they going to do after Chavez loses his abusive power? Go underground like the guerrillas of the 1950 and 60s, or build tunnels like Hamas?
