Assasination Attempt to President of Venezuala

Remember When I Told You?

Published on January 16, 2004 By OccultPizza In Politics

I wrote a blog a week or so ago where one of my contacts (who has been missing since the last talk) had told me about the CIA plot to assasinate the president of Venezuala. Today going through my normal RSS feeds I found this and I think it is more than coincedence that these two things go together ~grins~

Today's neo-libertarians, if they truly believe what they claim to believe about freedom, really need to take a second look at Venezuela and it's president Hugo Chávez.

The democratically-elected government of Venezuela has survived attempted coups - military, economic, and mediatic - and keeps moving forward with the most sweeping reforms and advances in democracy and human rights in the hemisphere today.

The latest: a reform of the penal code that, while increasing penalties for drug traffickers like every other country, has just decriminalized possession. According to the oligarch's daily El Universal, which leads its report in a panic over the reform's simultaneous legalization of abortion and euthanasia, here's what the new law does for drug users:
"As personal dose for consumption, the (allowable) quantity of the drug substance is extended to that which is necessary for average individual consumption for no more than five days; and as a provisional dose, the quantity of the substance that is employed for average individual consumption (according to forensics experts) for no more than ten days."
In sum, the drug addict or user no longer faces prison or penalty in Venezuela if he possesses small amounts of his drug of choice (specifically mentioned by the law are marijuana, hashish, cocaine and its derivatives, opium and its derivatives, and synthetic drugs).
This is truly revolutionary. How and why did it happen? This giant step for drug policy reform and human freedom in this hemisphere happened because Venezuelan democracy was defended and US-backed coups were defeated. This historic development is a discrediting knockout blow to all the hysterical accusers who claimed that the government of Hugo Chávez would somehow become "authoritarian" simply because he and the Venezuelan majority don't agree that "the market" should govern their land.

The vestiges of McCarthyism or "Fear of a Red Planet" appeared in recent years even from some quarters that claim they want to liberalize drug laws. Our own newspaper, Narco News, took heat and sustained hard hits over the past two years in particular for our strong defense of Venezuelan democracy. "But that has nothing to do with drug policy," the fearful voices accused.

Today, you can see the whole truth, kind reader. Fear no more. In January 2004, Venezuela decriminalized the drug user and the small doses he possesses. And if the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela sustains the inevitable backlash from Washington that will now come for daring to exercise its democratic will to increase human freedom, you will soon see other Latin American nations follow suit. Ecuador had already done it quietly (reported only by Narco News), but Venezuela's action, because of the size and influence of the country and its economy, and the context of its role in the current American drama, now provides cover for Brazil, Argentina, and the rest of the continent to do the same.

Sitting her listening to A Perfect Circle and their song, "Halo" and reading this. Rap on Brother. If we get alliances with these people on issues like this it goes forward to the united response to the NWO. I pointed out to Grugyn in our talks once that his position with regard to the second amendment rights intrusions under Clinton were in keeping with survey facts that over 80% of all inner city gun owners were also opposed to the Federal disarming. This is a little known fact they witheld, as it interfered with control of the minority vote for Dems. He and the 'militia' could ally with the likes of Farakhan and minority activists by piggy-backing this issue to other objectives. I used it as an oppoprtunity to point out that his race-based views of civil rights (he was KKK) were flawed and could never ultimately survive in a Brown world, choosing to alienate himself from other humans who were also decrying Governmental intrusion into their self-determination rights.
We have to be thinking in new and newer terms of alliances in the age of the American Empire and the NWO. Had Malcolm X lived, with his epiphany while on his Mecca, he would have been a International unifying catalyst that would have placed us in a much stronger position with regard to the NWO we suffer under today. Thanks for the information. I hope you'll provide more on this area to the masses for links to be formed for our common struggle for human rights in the coming deluge.
