Another reason for Chavez to close Globovision
Tonight, 7 PM, on Globovision, the Spanish version of the FRONTLINE documentary "The Chavez show". DO NOT MISS IT!!! Then again Chavez might stick a cadena....
◼ Frontline on Chavez: The Hugo Chavez show
...The cooperative chapter is brilliant. They compare the textile one that is shown to "political tourists" while they are sewing bunches of red clothing! And after they show a real cooperative, of the kind not shown to visitors, left on its own, without any business training, left to a slow death. And the end of that chapter they go on to housing construction cooperatives; we see the guy that is still waiting to get paid while the "la Suiza" subsidized development lays idle, stopped on its track once Chavez monitored the inauguration of the first building and moved on to some new interest. Fabulous! With savaged tractor bonus!
The chapter on freedom of expression is excellent at illustrating how freedom of expression is still exerted at least by some within the opposition (the self censorship issue is not addressed) but showing how such freedom of expression does not exist within chavismo ranks. We get two examples of awful scolding of chavista supporters, an activist humiliated in an Alo Presidente and Eleazar Diaz Rangel who shows to us that he accepts his scolding as the abject sycophant he has become. It is amazing that Diaz Rangel would have thought that he would have fooled Frontline with such lame excuses!!! But what is better is that Teodoro Petkoff explains clearly how the terrorizing of his supporters is an effective weapon for Chavez to control them. Fascism anyone?

IZQUIERDA GESTADA EN LA EMBAJADA NORTEAMERICANA
La totalidad los integrantes del gabinete del obispo Fernando Lugo provienen del sector de las ONGs financiadas por la embajada norteamericana. Se cuentan entre ellos a Gloria Rubín (referente en Paraguay del NED y la CIA), Camilo Soares (beneficiario de fondos de IAF y NED, favorecido del gobierno de George W. Bush) Rafael Filizzola (signatario de acuerdos con Alvaro Uribe a instancias de la ex operadora del plan Colombia Liliana Ayalde), Karina Rodríguez (de la Casa de la Juventud, que recibió 127 mil dólares de la Inter American Foundation), Liz Torres (referente de las logias de ONGs dependientes de la embajada norteamericana), Esperanza Martínez (del movimiento Tekojojá, financiado por USAID, hoy envuelto en escándalo por corrupción), Canciller Hamed Franco (del Pmas, un movimiento financiado por James Cason), el Vice-canciller Jorge Lara Castro (recibe dólares de la embajada a través de la ONG fantasma Alter Vida), Ministro de Defensa General Bareiro Spaini (hombre de la embajada norteamericana, educado en las escuelas de golpistas de Estados Unidos) o el ministro de Hacienda Dionisio Borda, antiguo responsable de las finanzas de los gobiernos corruptos y agente de la embajada norteamericana y del FMI.
Asimismo, Fernando Lugo ha anunciado que se mantendrá la política de sometimiento al imperio nortemericano en Paraguay, y se desconoce lo tratado por Lugo en New York con referentes de la mafia ítalo-norteamericana como John Tonelli, o con el heredero del imperio petrolero que en la década de 1930 llevó a la matanza a cien mil bolivianos y paraguayos, David Rockefeller. Lo único cierto es que ofició de guía turístico en la gran manzana Conrado Pappalardo, un personaje conocido por haber operado para el Plan Cóndor y haber proveído pasaportes para el asesinato en Washington de Orlando Letelier.
Otros cónclaves nunca aclarados por parte del obispo fueron sus reuniones con James Cason y Roger Noriega, pocos segundos después que Aleida Guevara March, hija del Che Guevara, haya abandonado la misma oficina por la misma puerta por la que entraron estos grandes amigos de Cuba y los hermanos Castro.
No se sabe el motivo de las visitas de Christopher McMuller, subsecretario norteamericano de Asuntos del Hemisferio Occidental, al viceministro de Relaciones Exteriores paraguayo, Jorge Lara Castro, un viejo favorecido de la embajada norteamericana de Asunción.

LEFT GESTATED IN THE American EMBASSY
The totality the members of the cabinet of the bishop Fernando Lugo stem from the sector of the ONGs they financed by the American embassy.
They are counted among them to Glory Rubín (referring in Paraguay of the NED and the CIA), Camilo Soares (beneficiary of funds of IAF and NED, favored of the government of George W. Bush) Rafael Filizzola (signatory according to Alvaro Uribe to instances of the former operator of the plan Colombia Liliana Ayalde), Karina Rodriguez (of the House of the Youth, that received 127 thousand dollars of the Inter American Foundation), Liz Towers (referring of the lodges of ONGs dependent of the American embassy), Hope Martínez (of the movement Tekojojá, financed by USAID, today wrapped in scandal by corruption), Chancellor Hamed Franco (of the Movement financed by James Cason), the Vice-Chancellor Jorge Lara I Neuter (receives dollars of the embassy through the NGO ghost Alter Life), Minister of General Defense Bareiro Spaini (man of the American embassy, educated in the schools of golpistas U.S.) or the Treasury minister Dionisio Gunwale, old responsible for the finances of the corrupt governments and agent of the American embassy and of the IMF.
Likewise, Fernando Lugo has announced that will be maintained the politics of subjugation to the empire nortemericano in Paraguay, and does not know it tried by Lugo in New York with referring of the ítalo-American mafia as John Tonelli, or with the heir of the petroleum empire that in the decade of 1930 carried to the killing to a hundred thousand Bolivians and Paraguayan, David Rockefeller.
Certain the unique thing is that officiated of tourist guide in the big apple Conrado Pappalardo, a personage known by to have operated for the Plan Condor and to have provided passports for the murder in Washington to Edge Letelier.
Other conferences never clarified on the part of the bishop were its meetings with James Cason and Roger Noriega, few seconds after Aleida Guevara March, daughter of the Che Guevara, have abandoned the same office by the same door by the one that entered these large friends of Cuba and the brothers I Neuter.
Itself not the motive about the visits is known of Christopher McMuller, American undersecretary of Matters of the Western Hemisphere, to the vice minister of Paraguayan Foreign Affairs, Jorge Lara I Neuter, an old one favored of the American embassy of Assumption.
