Interesting how this article applies perfectly to the tactics commonly used by Hugo Chávez in Venezuela...New Scientist HITLER and Mussolini both had the ability to bend millions of people to their fascist will. Now evidence from psychology and neurology is emerging to explain how tactics like organised marching and propaganda can work to exert mass mind control.Scott Wiltermuth of Stanford University in California and colleagues have found that activities performed in unison, such as marching or dancing, increase loyalty to the group. "It makes us feel as though we're part of a larger entity, so we see the group's welfare as being as important as our own," he says...

From Foreign Policy Posted September 2008Reliable global crime statistics are hard to come by, but here are five cities that stand in a class all their own when it comes to brutal, homicidal violence.Caracas, VenezuelaPopulation: 3.2 millionMurder rate: 130 per 100,000 residents (official)What’s happening: The capital of Chávez country, Caracas has become far more dangerous in recent years than any South American city, even beating out the once notorious Bogotá. What’s worse, the city’s official homicide statistics likely fall short of the mark because they omit prison-related murders as well as deaths that the state never gets around to properly “categorizing.” The numbers also don’t count those who died while “resisting arrest,” suggesting that Caracas’s cops—already known for their brutality against student protesters—might be cooking the books...

Damn You! If you still believe Venezuela is an exemplary country, a role model because of Hugo Chavez and his Revolution. Did you read Animal Farm and 1984 by George Orwell? or The Process by Kafka? Well take the worst that happens in those books and put them all together in a blender, add some latin flavor and what you get is "La Revolución Bolivariana" (The Bolivarian Revolution).Last week a new law was imposed on Venezuela, the Law on the National Intelligence and Counterintelligence System...

A few days ago Hugo Chávez, our despotic extra-bigmouthed military ruler, the self-proclaimed owner of Venezuela's oil revenue checkbook, with which he even gives away cheap oil to poor Londoner's, whom, by the way, have a minimal wage ten times bigger than a middle class worker in Venezuela, and who also funds (illegally) the FARC's terrorits... but let's not get off the topic.A few days ago Hugo Chávez said in one of his Sunday 6 to 8 hours televised and radioed show "Alo Presidente", that in Venezuela economy is "normal".

Forget about mangoes, tangerines, oranges, lemons, avocados, guava, passion fruit... the "Great" Caracas area now has a new kind of fruit that falls from trees and they are alive, and are heavy, and grab women's purses, chains, watches and scare the hell out of their unaware victims.This is happening in Guarenas, about 30 minutes from Caracas (when there is no traffic, and 2 or more hours in rush time).Thieves have found a new way of robbing people, mostly women...

Fitna, the short movie by Geert Wilders, shows the worst of Islam, and yes, what the movie shows are no lies; radical Muslims are the way they are portrayed in the movie.But are Muslims all the same? Are they all murderers and fanatics? Before answering that, we too should ask ourselves similar questions; Are all Catholic priests pederasts and sex offenders? or, Do all nuns gamble? And the answer to all those questions is no.

Viendo los puentes dinamitados por el ejército venezolano, se me ocurre que el haberlos destruido era una opción válida para Venezuela y Colombia. Cualquier país quiere controlar sus accesos y si estos puentes no están controlados por la inmigración de ninguno
