Latest polls in Venezuelan elections

El Maracucho se las trae! Manuel Rosales, the maracucho is getting more multitudes than Jesus Christ. Whenever he goes he sweeps. Still... aaaallll the international media, all under the leading flag of the real american enemy, his worst son, Jimmy Carter, gives Chavez the winning title. BAH!

Ajá! I wonder my Venezuelan friends, what is the real fight against Imperialism... you got it!

Enough talking, just watch these pictures:


Saturday in Caracas.


Wednesday in Maracaibo. You read right, WEDNESDAY, a working day.

Where are the chavistas?? Counting the money of the misiones and hiding it under the couch? UH?



Yeah right, the chavistas are ahead... yeah

¡UH, AH TRÉVETE!

By Teodoro Petkoff.

Si alguna duda podía caber acerca de quién ha impuesto la agenda de esta campaña electoral, fue disipada con los dos actos del fin de semana. La campaña del candidato continuista ha sido de retruque. Ha ido a remolque de la de Manuel Rosales. Comenzó, siempre a tono con su estilo de perdonavidas, tratando de ignorarlo, y ahora no ha tenido más remedio que aceptar que tiene un rival mollejúo enfrente. Lo de las dos concentraciones fue sintomático. Rosales cierra su campaña con un acto de proporciones colosales, que produce un impacto enorme, y el candidato continuista inventa entonces traerse todos los autobuses de Venezuela para hacer su show simultáneamente en cuatro avenidas alrededor de la Bolívar. ¡Quién lo diría! El todopoderoso Yo El Supremo, que antes no necesitaba sino chasquear los dedos para reunir a sus partidarios, ahora tiene que traer gente hasta de Pedernales, allá en los confines del Delta, y de Paraguaipoa, en los límites con Colombia, para poder dragonear de un mitin grande.

Sin hablar de los miles de empleados públicos que fueron conminados y humillados, so pena de despido, a asistir, previamente provistos del kit “revolucionario” : franela y gorra rojas, de uso obligatorio.

No queremos decir, desde luego, que en el acto del continuista no hubiera gente que estuvo allí de corazón. Claro que la había, y bastante, pero sin el gigantesco aparato logístico que abusiva y ventajistamente montaron jamás habrían podido lograr el objetivo que se plantearon. Había más autobuses que gente.

Del otro lado, la avalancha fue estrictamente caraqueña. Hasta el abuso de cerrar todas las vías de acceso a Caracas, para impedir que la gente de los alrededores de la gran ciudad pudiera asistir, para lo único que sirvió fue para dar mayor relieve aún a la magnitud de la concentración.

Ahí estuvieron los dos proyectos. Frente a frente, con horas de diferencia. Uno democrático, voluntario, producto de una concepción de respeto a la persona humana, al cual cada quien asistió para expresar libremente una opinión política; el otro, regimentado, forzado, con una buena parte de los asistentes arrebatada, violada en su conciencia, humillada por los “carajazos” que ofreció el inefable presidente de Pdvsa a quienes no se sometan a los designios del caudillo y sus acólitos.

El candidato continuista reafirmó su intención de mantener la brecha que separa a los venezolanos; Rosales tendió una mano a quienes acompañan el continuismo y reiteró que gobernará para 26 millones y no para una parte del país. Apenas en cuatro meses Manuel Rosales removió las aguas estancadas de un sentimiento opositor que se había desmovilizado y desmoralizado. Es un logro formidable que debe ser rematado con el voto el próximo domingo 3. Los espíritus han despertado. ¡Enhorabuena!

Chavistas take off the red shirt of Chavez and put the white of Manuel Rosales

Good for them! This people are risking everything they have, including their lives, to stand against Chavismo. An example to all Venezuelans.

Seen at the Avenida Vargas in Barquisimeto...

This picture shows the disgrace that the military lunatic Hugo Chavez has brought to Venezuela. I stay 1000 times with the civil corruption of the 4th Republic that with the military one of the 5th. We didn't have this type of pictures then.

This is the good job that Chavez is doing for Venezuela.

The odd part is that a lot of people will vote for the speech of hatred, guns and violence that they hate in Bush but they love in Chavez.

A little look at the CEPS (Centro de Estudios Políticos y Sociales)

Well, look at this, the people behind the famous "Universidad Complutense de Madrid" poll who is giving Chavez a lot of advantage towards the "other" candidate, more or less a week ago.

More links about the famous poll, and here.

Veneopsa doesn't even have a website. The page of the CEPS doesn't look too professional to me. A lot of links are broken and the link to "asesoramiento internacional" suddenly is under construction. Could it be that shows that they indeed, have Chavismo as a good client, and support their cause?

Some activities and book presentations at the headquarters of the good people of the CEPS:

So, after 1, 2 and 3... we can see this ONG is totally biased for Chavismo. Obviously the people who work here represent a conflict of interest for this study to be taken objectively. But yet it is taken for many, and as Alek Boyd points out, for the international media outlets, like Yahooo News, Reuters and etc.

What a joke. And yet, the People's Republic of Bolibananazuela has done their share of Goebbelian make up for all to see how respectable these researchers are. They can be very brilliant but it's impossible to deny their slanted bias for Chavismo.

From Alek Boyd's web page:

"Reuters' coverage of late has been an absolute disgrace, with the BBC and AP following a close second. It has printed official propaganda without even bothering in maintaining a semblance of objectivity. Case in point the poll that never was from the Complutense University of Madrid, which was reprinted many times around the globe. Venezuelans still wait an explanation and a clarification note."

The question is, why they are not doing their investigation? (hint: $$$$$)

Dear Sir or Madam,

In response to your email we inform you that it has been passed onto the Dean`s office in case an adequate reply could be given.

However we inform you that the fact that the professors that allegedly conducted the poll are part of the Complutense University does not mean that this University endorses said poll, for this is a job done by these professors in private manner(*), furthermore poll results have been published in official stationary of a foundation, Centre for Political and Social Studies (CEPS in Spanish) which suggest that the poll was conducted by the professors as members of that organization.

I say the same!

Wise words from Rolando el malandro. Sorry folks, this is only for Venezuelans, unless you are local enough you understand. Cheers,

A reason on why I will NEVER vote democrat...

"Chavez then recalled how he was able to have a dialogue with President Clinton. “I received various emissaries from President Clinton,” said Chavez, emphasizing that such discussions were conducted quietly, “without convoking a press conference.” Also, the U.S. ambassador to Venezuela at the time, John Maisto, never said anything against Venezuela. “Now [after election], hopefully, the Democratic Party will come out with the best it has, the best of its principles,” he exclaimed.

Recalling the 2004 presidential campaign, Chavez told of how the Democratic presidential candidate, John Kerry, made overtures to contact him, via Citgo, and that Kerry sent warm greetings at the time. This gave him some hope that if Kerry were to win, a relationship of mutual respect with the U.S. could be started. However, a few days after the Citgo meeting, Kerry’s campaign came out with a strong anti-Chavez statement, which Chavez attributed to an error within the Kerry campaign, to “infiltrators” and thus decided not to respond publicly to the statement. Instead, he sent a private message to Kerry, saying that he doesn’t ask Kerry to put on Chavez’s trademark red beret. Instead, “If Kerry has to say that Chavez is a tyrant, fine, but then, once elected, we talk.”

From Greg Wilpert's article in Political Affairs (originally published by Venezuelanalysis.com)

Republicans in my opinion are no saints, and are very sneacky too, but they are a little bit more open about being like that, (I am a piece of shit but I have to be like that) than the democrats. Democrats in this department carry the flag of hypocrisy.

People say that Chavez and Bush have a lot in common in the sense they are both very authoritarian. I don't know, but one thing has come perfectly clear to me in this article, and it's that George W. Bush administration is not into any type of under the table negotiation with Chavez. Otherwise Mr. Big Mouth would have come with some hints. You can tell that this is exactly what Chavez HATE about George Bush. He has ignored him to the point that he hasn't even sent an envoy for a secret meeting, etc, etc... Some people would say this is bad diplomacy and that's why G. W. Bush government is in the place it is. BUT I gotta love him for this.

Read what Publius Pundit's A.M. Mora y León says about this news.

El Conde quits...

"I am retiring through the front door, without backing anyone, and I am letting all my followers free to vote for the candidate of their preference," he stated.

EL CDTM!!!!!!!!!!

Now there's NO difference for this MF to vote for democracy or for the "democratic comunism" whatever you call the piece of shit plan of Chavez indefinite reelection fraudulent mafiosi government.

EL CDTM!!!!!!!!!! 1000 TIMES 1000!!!

What a sellfish SOB!!!! How sad people only look for their interests. Venezuela still needs to walk a long way to become a real democratic country!!



Y no creas que si gana Rosales y la democracia es reestablecida que voto por tí en otra ocasión. Es que te hago la campaña en contra, SINVERGUENZA. Tanto que me gustabas CDM!

Caracas Chro-ni-ni-cles...

"I know that my grave will be littered with a mountain of reproach. They will want to characterize me as the sole guilty party in the tragedy of Cuba. I do not deny my errors or my guilt in any way. What I do emphatically deny is that I am the sole guilty party. We were all guilty to a lesser or greater degree of responsibility.

We were all guilty. The journalists who covered my desk with damning articles and exposs about the politicians. These very journalists who were nothing more than seekers of fame and adulation and gladly satisfied the masses insatiable and brutal desire for revenge. They wore that badge with honor. It didn't matter who the president was; nor did it matter that these very leaders had implemented good laws and reforms in Cuba. They had to be attacked and, if necessary, destroyed. The same masses that elected them now asked for their heads in the public square.

The people were guilty. The people who wanted Guiteras, and Chibs, and who lauded Pardo Llada. The very people who bought Bohemia, the voice of the people. The people who followed Fidel from Oriente province all the way to the Columbia Camp.

Fidel is nothing more than the result of the clash between demagoguery and stupidity. All of us contributed to his creation. And all of us, because we were resentful, demagogues, stupid, or evil, were guilty of helping place him in power. The journalists, who knew Fidels playbook, who knew of his participation in the Communist-inspired Bogotazo, who knew of the assassination of Manolo Castro, who knew of his gangster activities at the University of Havana, demanded an amnesty for him and his accomplices for the assault on the Moncada Barracks when he was in prison.

The Congress was guilty in approving that very amnesty law. The radio and television commentators who regaled the congressmen with praise for passing the law and the trash applauding that same Congress from the bleachers were guilty.

Bohemia was the echo of the street -- the street that applauded Bohemia when it invented the lie of the twenty thousand dead. A diabolical lie, invented by the alcoholic Enriquito de la Osa who knew that although Bohemia was the echo of the street, the street also echoed what was published in Bohemia.

Guilty were the millionaire businessmen who gave Fidel more and more money to topple the regime. The thousands of traitors who sold out to this bearded criminal and who cared more for profits from contraband and theft than about Fidels actions in the Sierra Maestra. Guilty were the priests in red robes who sent young people to serve Castro and his guerillas in the Sierra, and the Church itself, officially backing the Communist revolution with fiery sermons, exhorting the Government to hand in the reins of power.

The United States of America, embargoing arms, destined for the Batista regime and intended for use in its war against the guerillas, was guilty.

The U.S. State Department, supporting the international cabal, directed by Communists, which took possession of the island of Cuba, was guilty.

The Batista government, and its opposition, were guilty. Because of false pride and not wanting to give in, they failed to reach a proper, peaceful and patriotic agreement. Guilty, too, were those that Fidel secretly sent to sabotage the negotiations and ensure their failure.

The abstentionist politicians, who closed all doors to all electoral solutions, and the press, like Bohemia, who played their game and refused to publish anything related to those elections, were guilty.

All of us were guilty. All of us. By sins of omission and sins of commission. The old and young, the rich and poor, black and white, the honest and the dishonest, sinners and saints. Of course we had to learn the bitter lesson that the poor were the most honest and most virtuous of us all.

(...)

We were a people blinded by hate. And we are all now victims of that blindness.

Our sins and vices were greater than our virtues. We forgot the words of Nez de Arce: When a people forsake their virtues, tyranny will rise from their vices.

Miguel Angel Quevedo (*)
Caracas, Venezuela"

I have been a reader of CC since a long time ago... more than two years since I remember reading Quico a lot at the time of the RR (I still remember the Avenida Carter comment). I must say many times I do agree with Quico in his views, many times don't, specially when he takes the ni-ni stand and open his arms to chavistas. In any case, I like CC, I think I can say I am friend of Quico, even though we haven't meet in real life, maybe one day. And I like his analysis, specially when he explains economic data in "normal" words.

Now Quico and team, in the name of fairness and balance, have taken the ni-ni stand once again, this time to make the anti-campaign to Manuel Rosales. A guy who doesn't deserve this treatment in my opinion from any Venezuela who loves democracy.

What good is this ni-ni stand doing to the country RIGHT NOW?

Everybody is entitled to say whatever they want, and me too. So today post has to do with how harmful is for a country who is facing a complete take over by a military lunatic, when their citizens take the ni-ni stand.

Maybe I am wrong, maybe Quico and team are right to be ni-ni's in the name of fairness and balance and help chavismo take over Venezuela. Quico's editorial line of ni-ni is giving the chavismo a lot of good ammo. He is giving them the desperately democratic coat of respect that they are looking for when he takes on the opposition like this. They try to be fair, but in doing so they become very unfair, since Venezuela's institutions have been taken by chavismo and the military. What's the private media to do? What's anyone to do inside the country when they see this? And you know, I am not saying that the opposition is perfect by any mean, or that they are some elements that are really disgusting inside the opposition world. But to me this is all about pick the best option a) democracy, b) autocracy by a military lunatic.

I am picking a) so anybody can write and say and whatever they want, belong to any political party they want, have the ideological tendency they want and have the right to do it.

I think this elections will be taken over by Chavez, with or without Quico's help though, and due to the FACT that the electoral council is a branch of Hugo Chavez party, we won't ever gonna know the reality of the numbers. It's very easy and almost impossible to detect an electronic elections without a proper audit, a proper audit of the paper ballots. I think the chavismo will do something about this in particular. Since chavistas are controlling the electoral process, they can easily handle those paper ballot boxes, that can even have some boxes already cooked on a warehouse. Who is going to tell me that they won't do it? CHAVISMO IS CONTROLLING THE ELECTORAL PROCESS, they can do whatever they want.

We all have a responsibility to take.

"I know your works; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth."

RED, RED...TRULY RED

by Rafael Ramírez
Minister of Energy and Petroleum - Venezuela
President of PDVSA

Based on Video obtained 2 NOV 2006

First of all, I would like to greet my fellow members from the Board of Directors who are with me here. We have always been together in every battle and situation we have experienced, particularly following the sabotage against the oil industry. (Could someone please dim these lights a bit in front of me? Perhaps someone could control that.) I also want to greet my Vice Ministers of Energy and Petroleum. Here they are, combative veterans: the directors of the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, the board of the National Gas Board, the President of Pequiven, likewise so many comrades who, as Luis stated, are from the front and the rear lines of Petróleos de Venezuela. If they are from the front and back lines, it means they stand at the front of the revolutionary vanguard of our oil industry and that is something I want to talk about here.

So many friends are here: Pedro, Barrientos, Darío, everybody, George, Castillo, Soto, Brito, Iván, everybody… everybody.

And so, we wanted to see a meeting more formal than what I am seeing for starters. Because this is an encounter meant for setting certain political alignments. We are not going to talk about any corporate issues here, about things unrelated to politics, having to do with the company. It has to do with the company, of course it has to do with the future of our country, it has to do with everything, but we are not going to talk about any matter having to do with corporate administration, but rather about our very live issue, ever present in the arena.

We come here to talk politics. We come here to set straight certain issues. We come here to rectify certain issues resulting from a discussion we had at the headquarters of the Board of Directors.

In fact we have been checking and, well, balancing all current issues of a political nature and, well, over there at Board headquarters we have been receiving, we are starting to receive emails, we are starting to receive memoranda of interest, concerning this or that regulation, concerning yes or no for the color red or the Venezuelan codes for the new PDVSA. Let no manager, let no public servant of the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, let nobody from whatever payroll, let none of our military personnel, none of our reserves, let nobody, absolutely nobody, who is here at the new PDVSA have the least bit of doubt in their minds that the new PDVSA stands by my President Chávez.

I want my fellow managers to help us eliminate from our regulative language, from our in-house mailings, from any elements guiding the company, any matter that casts doubts as to our support of President Chávez. We have to speak up loud and clear, as all of you have been hearing me say this and we are repeating it. Yesterday we even stated in the press that the new PDVSA is red, truly red, from top to bottom (applauses).

My fellow comrades, this is not the time to behave like any ordinary manager in the oil business, or worse yet, like an oil manager who reminds us of the old PDVSA. I want all of you to shake out of your heads the idea that someone can sanction us, or that someone can criticize us if we state to our citizenry that this company is supporting Chávez one hundred percent. It is a matter (applauses) that has petrified some of our people, our line workers and our staff.

It is a crime, a counterrevolutionary act, for some manager or other here to try to block political expression by our workers supporting President Chávez.

I want for us here to indulge in reflection or in self-criticism, if appropriate but in any case I want for us to be on guard because we are not going to allow anyone inside the company to block or put a freeze on expressions by our citizenry and our workers in support of President Chávez. This is a policy we want to make clear.

We are here to support Chávez, who is our leader, the maximum leader of this revolution, and we are going to do whatever we have to in order to support our President, and anyone who does not feel comfortable going in that direction had better turn his job over to a Bolivarian (applause, the audience cheers: hey, hey Chávez won’t go away). I want all of you to know that is what we have been saying out loud and directly to our workers; this is our message.

And all of you should be so bold as to rise up against any manager who attempts to put a freeze on this passion and tries to block this agreement.

Nobody here inside PDVSA is going to stop Chávez and let it be perfectly clear here inside PDVSA that this new PDVSA, which emerged in the heat of the victory over the sabotage against the oil industry, is a Bolivarian organization, is red and has placed all its bets on Chávez.

That is what we are saying to our staff, that is what we are saying to our workers, and that is what we wanted to say to all of you directly so that we have no doubts here or any surprises when we do what we need to do in order to channel the power of this company in defense of the supreme interests of our countrymen clearly expressed by President Chávez.

We had to remove a person. The man was from one of our operational areas. He then went and allowed candidate Rosales to land and go freely from place to place in the midst of our areas. “Fuck! What the hell is this?” we said, “What’s going on here? Have they gone mad around here? Will it turn out that we have been infiltrated by the “squalid” ones, by the enemies of this revolution?

Well, be forewarned that we are not going to allow it. Whenever we detect incidents similar to that, we are going to definitely terminate them.

Our hand does not tremble, we removed from this company 19,500 enemies of this country and we are determined to continue to do so, in order to ensure that this organization stays aligned and reciprocates the love that our countrymen have expressed for our President (applause).

I become indignant, and I am certain that all of you become indignant, our Board of Directors becomes indignant, whenever we discover that some people are of the Neither-Nor sort, that there are people whose loyalties are of a Lite persuasion, that there are people who say that we are now faced with processes made for each other, that we need to open the thing up. No sir, if anyone here forgets that we are in the midst of a revolution, we will remind him by beating the hell out of him. But this company stands by the President (applause).

Now that we have become managers are we now going to forget how each one of you got this job? How did we get here?

We did not inherit those jobs. We are not Rockefeller’s child who inherits Exxon Mobil, no sir. The revolution has placed us here. Our countrymen have placed us here, President Chávez has placed us here and we have to be coherent and loyal to that trust that came from our countrymen (applause).

I demand combativeness here, I demand a commitment here, I demand that all our front and back line managers here, and that is why I said they must be the toughest of the tough, must toe the line on this issue. Or, my dear comrades, we will all be wiped out and have to make room for others more revolutionary than ourselves.

It should be clear to all of you that the responsibility we have at the front line of this industry is supreme and immense, because what we have been debating here over conquest and takeover has been for purposes of controlling our main resources, oil and gas. The debate is over the control of our main resources, whether to make them available to the service of Yankee imperialism or to the service of our citizenry.
That has to be understood, that has to be discussed, so that we can then see exactly what our role is at this juncture.

There are still some people who say that that business about imperialism is one of Commander Chávez’s exaggerations. Anyone having any doubts about it should go to Fallujah, anyone having any doubts about it should investigate the more than 650,000 Iraqi civilians who have offered up their lives simply because Yankee imperialism has exercised an option, has made a decision, to take control of the oil belonging to the Iraqi people.

Anyone having any doubts concerning Yankee imperialism should go to Bolivia right now and see how they are giving President Evo Morales a dose of the same medicine that was given to President Chávez toward the end of the year 2001, during all of the year 2002, the same international pressure, the same internal subversion, the same elites, something which is awful over there because Indians are despised and now imperialism and its lapdogs are calling it Andean fundamentalism.

We are going to liberate Bolivia, you know. From here we will head over to a meeting at the Foreign Office because we are going with all our weapons to cast our lot with the future of Bolivia along with Evo Morales.

Thanks Pacta sunt Servanda for the translation.

The extraordinary apology of crime speech of the President of Venezuelan Petroleum Co, Rafael Ramirez, caught on video by a brave patriot (I bet a female warrior) :D

According to these criminals (Rafael Ramirez and Hugo Chavez) apparently you have to be a chavista to work for a Venezuela state company.

Thanks Libreuso for putting these videos on Youtube.

Guatemalans!

Please listen to my words!!

I am so embarrassed of Hugo Chavez and his bus driver diplomacy smashing your 2 years of hard work to get that seat on the security council, and disrespectful treatement given by the chavistas to the Guatemalans in the floor of the UN implying that you guys are puppets of the US.

Like Hugo Chavez is not treating Bolivians as puppets... please...

Accept my apologies and my respect,

Remembering the "Pacto de Punto Fijo" or the "Punto Fijo Agreement"

Punto Fijo y otros Puntos.

The Punto Fijo pact is, according to historian and intellectual Manuel Caballero, the most important document signed besides "The Declaration of Independence" in Venezuela. Why? Because it did unpersonalized the chair of the President. Before the pact, signed in 1958, the governments had the name of the dictator of turn. "Paecismo, Gomecismo".... After the pact, there were just democratic government. Bad or good, they didn't represent the era of the caudillo in turn.

Caballero also pointed out that the best compliment that this agreement can have, is the despise of the Chavismo and his maximun leader, Hugo Chavez Frias. You can wonder why yourself.. duh!

Read all about it in this excellent article written by blogger Daniel of Venezuela News and Views.

Read the document (in spanish) here.

Catalunya: Manual voting on transparent boxes

Do I have to say more?? These people haven't joined the futuristic way to rob votes as you will see it happening soon on your nearest city in Venezuela, South America.

Needless to say, the results were done in 2-3 hours...

No heavy investment in voting machines and especialized labor, no maintanance, no electronic high-tech auditing... and the best ones: LESS FRAUD CHANCES AND BETTER VOTER CONFIDENCE. Does it sound to you like a better electoral process than the Venezuelan one?

Depressing...

Seen at the comment section of Caracas Chronicles....

How to hack an electronic voting machine


Noy only it is very easy and quick to infect a machine, it can be spread to all machines, and the possibilities to detect the infection are rare and difficult to get.

Electronic voting per se is a total fraud people! This is the way that the New Order will take over our will and our world.
