Mymemory -

Thanks very much for explaining the situation from the eyes of a Venezuelan. It must be terrifying to live in a "democratic" society and yet see power so abused. How soon will you have new elections? Does the opposition have a viable candidate?

Like everyone else here, I am praying for your safety as well as that of all of the people of your country. I hope that this crisis can be resolved peacefully and that no more innocent civilians are killed (that goes for the rest of the world, too...)

It's in your city and I can hook you up with a Canadian Citizen for sponsorship if you want out. E-mail the Consul and seek asylum.

Good luck. Hang in there.

Thanx man, but now "the one that get first got it first", the US embassy is the closest to my house, do not think I'm the only one in planing to run away.

The best thing to do is what we are doing, stay in your house and get armed. The city is working half way now. I went downtonw this morning and there is so much tension around that if you shoot to the air the entire country colapse. No one can talk about anything else, in fack if you saw the video, I crosed under the bridge were the men of the political party where shooting.

I'm so strsseed out that my jaws hurt becuase of the way i'm pressing my teeth. The best way to describe is:

Do you remember the movie... I forgot the name, with Bruce Willis and this kid that could see the dead people, well, do you remember the scene when he was in his bed room inside the tent and he was scared because he knew something was outside... terrifying no? that is the way this entire city/country feels, there is a gost around us, some where.
 
Dangerous around the world.

Cleo, thanx again.

We do not have candidate. One of the points, because remember I didn't write everything, just a bit. Is that Chavez says he will be in power until 2021, even we have re-elections in 2 years.

He have been tricky about that, the other problem too is that the Electoral Chamber (I do not remember the name in English) is taking by his people too. A year after he won the elections the first time, he create a new constitution, with the new constitution (a very manipulated one) we fell in to elections again for some reason, at that time every body voted for the oposit candidate but he won by 80%, even more than first time.

I just got a mail from Puerto Rico (I have family there) and they told us that every single politician of left is supporting Chavez. What is very dangerous there is that they can copy the same "fomula" to create a similar state any where, specially in the United State because:
1. There is the people.
2. There is the money.
3. There are the brains to make it work better.
4. There are poeple in desagreement with the goverment inside and outside the US.

In this case what you have in favor is the sep 11th because that increased the patriotism big time, and that helps a lot. But the US have to be very carefull in not doing any mistake because the socialist groups are gonna use that, just as they are growing in Argentina after the crisis blaming the bankers of stilling the money and the international organizations of trick them. This is too big.


I'm gonna copy/paste this, check the grammar and release a book later one. Would be a good one in the US.
