It Makes sense all of a sudden!
The ones who know that Pdvsa will have a hard time producing the documents because they have them, are the sames one that bitch the loudest when the documents arent produced.
Nice scheme/scam.
I dont know - isnt that a violation of the law or contempt of court?. Why arent they in jail?
Its called impunity. And unfortunately there is still way too much of it.
Plus, if they were prosecuted you can be sure the opposition would be referring to them as "political prisoners".
SAIC was indeed packed with CIA and Pentagon people.
As I understand it all PDVSA information went through a SAIC center in Houston.
And strategic information is worth billions in the oil industry!
It's like CIA would outsource their information sytems to some russian company. What a mess..
What a nice scam.
Indeed, do everything you can to sabatoge the Venezuelan state oil company--destorying infrastructure, shutting down transport, kidnapping the information infrastructure, etc.
Now it seems that the CIA/opposition game plan is to highlight problems with a state oil company that they have been working for three years to tear down and hobble.
What sheer hypocrisy--these people will think nothing of using terror to achieve their political and economic goals.
Interestingly, the US government has just yanked/cancelled the visa for the head of the Venezuelan supreme court--while they offer refuge for people accused of crimes against the Venezuelan state.
What they plan on doing know is to have the OAS tool, Human Rights Watch, Uribe, and Lula isolate Venezuela--to fatten the pig for eventual slaughter.
The problem that they have is that they are being rightly viewed by the majority of Latin America's population as being unjust in their attack.
I hope that Venezuela can make an alliance with China and disengage business with the United States.
The revolution will be deepened by necessity.
The US needs to destroy the Bolivarian spirit that is sweeping the region--Venezuela needs to be able to develop the country in a way that is antithetical to the neocolonial project of Europe, the US and the world's comprador parasites.
It will be interesting which "democratic" governments in the Americas jump onto the US attack against Venezuelan democracy.
"Interestingly, the US government has just yanked/cancelled the visa for the head of the Venezuelan supreme court--while they offer refuge for people accused of crimes against the Venezuelan state."
Yes! Did you see that? The nerve of the empire! OTOH, I thought giving a press conference about the incident was a very very weak, borderline traitorous thing to do. It gave me the impression that the guy was quite worried about him been denied entry to the imperio. What is his business there anyways?
I think Chavez should replace him ASAP.
I saw that. Hard to know what to make of it, if anything. But he did come across as being pretty off the wall. I mean, is he that desperate to go to Disney - they have one outside of Paris now don't they?
Chavez can't do anything about him. The courts are under the AN not Chavez.

Thats what it means to be a vendepatria.
Reader of Blogs--you make fun of this event, but there is a principle of reciprocity here.
Through no fault of Chavez, the Venezuelan government has much invested in the United States.
The US (who you kneel and cower before Reader of Blogs) seems intent on supporting terrorism against the state of Venezuela--or, at the least, harboring criminals that are accused of attacking innocent civilians.
The head of the Ven. supreme court was entirely within his right and correct to mark this escalation against Venezuela with a public announcement.
But the traditional traitorous classes of Venezuela (those whose parasitism has mired millions of venezuelans in generational poverty) can do nothing but silently cheer on the empire, hoping that Uncle Sammie will engage in a "liberation" so that the Venezuelan popular classes are put back in their subservient and silent place.
REader of Blogs--you can talk this kind of smack in Miami, but you better keep your support of US attacks against the Venezuelan people under your hat while you are in the Bolivarian Republic.
Damn--they all end up decaying in Miami someday. Even their beloved empire will likely put them to work sweeping streets as a "workfare" measure once the money they have stolen runs out. LOL
Jim R.,
I'm not making fun of anything, I'm just sharing my impressions of the event. In my opinion, The head of Tribunal Supremo de Justicia shot himself in the foot givin that press conference, publicy complaining in that way. I'll be plain, he sounded like a crybaby. I'll repeat, it really left me with a bad taste in my mouth. He should have at least consulted the matter with Chavez, and I dont think he did. And when I say the nerve of the empire (USA) i mean exactly that.
thx for your time.
pd. for ow, first of all, thanks for your blog. Sorry if i came too harsh in my previous posts, but i sometimes loose my patience. With respect to Mora, you are write of course. But I still think he should be removed from that important post. Maybe through the AN, then.
"crybaby"
You hit the nail on the head. That was the word I was looking for but couldn't think of. He definitely did come accross as a crybaby.
I don't think he could/should be removed for it. Someone just needs to tell him to get a grip.
I'll put it in the blog tonight but people should really check out this excellent article by Mark Weisbrot.
A must read.
