"Hugo
Chavez, America’s buffoon, has prepared a strategy of censuring the media and Internet
due to the expansion of displeasure with his totalitarian government."
With ecomonic problems mounting and Venezuela's media asking an increasing number of questions about his use of the public treasury, Hugo Chavez appears to have decided to attack the media messengers.
Honduras: As a mediocre comedian
who improvises his performances, the buffoon tries to blame the theater owner
and audience for his failures. Then he commands everyone to shut up, turns off
the lights and closes the doors so that his pantomime isn't seen as dull or
dingy, inside or out.
Hugo Chavez, America’s
buffoon, has prepared a strategy of censuring the media and Internet due to the
spread of displeasure with his totalitarian government. His deputies of the Bolivarian
Revolution have been sent undercover to several of the world's cities, such as
Miami, to work in offices near the Venezuela Consulate to harass their critics.
On the other hand, another
strategy he uses is to attack broadcasters for disseminating false news about crimes
against officials of his regime, with the purpose of blaming the Internet and independent
media for spreading trash propaganda.
We cannot deny that the Internet
is swamp terrain that at the moment has no rules, and which will have to be regulated
by international agreement in order to lessen the debauchery that could result
in chaotic consequences for future society.
But it is also true that us,
the users of the Internet, television and radio, mustn't believe everything we
see and hear in media, and we don't need a paternalistic government to look after
us, be well informed and shape our own opinions.
The buffoon’s intention is to
silence critics so only he can be heard - and he prepares the gag-warning with
phrases like: “Under the Constitution, in a socialist government, one must subordinate
oneself to the interests of the state. … I cannot imprison anyone. For that, the
branches of government and the people must act. … They know they are committing
a crime that is punishable anywhere in the world.”
It is Chavez who is
committing a crime by taking away civil liberties and freedom of expression.
Crime is destroying the wealth of his nation, as he dispenses money to his
temporary “friends” who, once they take advantage of Venezuela, will kick the
dictator where we all know. It is he that commits wrongdoing by seizing the possessions and
patrimony of families that worked for years providing people with employment
and contributing to the nation's progress.
On Thursday, December 9,
Chavez introduced a bill in the National Assembly that would punish the use of
the Internet and social networks for the sending of “messages disrespectful to
public authorities, which could create anxiety or promote the rejection of
legitimately constituted authorities.”

The measure, which would
reform a law that already restricts content broadcast by radio stations and
television networks, would prohibit the use of Facebook, Twitter and other
online sites where messages are sent that “constitute media manipulation.”
By attempting to control free
speech, punish media and silence the Internet, Chavez is trying to cover up the
failure of his communist project and the bankruptcy of the state due of his waste
of national wealth, which he has used to gratify his overwhelming greed and narcissism.
