Dec 12th, 2015 - 03:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0How can someone be 'neoliberal' & 'extremist' at the same time?
Dec 12th, 2015 - 09:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0It's obvious that Maduro hasn't actually got a clue about what 'neo' means or what 'liberal' means, or maybe it's 'extremist' he doesn't understand. After all, he's the extremist, but like many he can't see the faults in himself.
The first of the new season parties which could well degrade into a bun fight (soft buns only allowed) is about to start.
Dec 12th, 2015 - 11:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0Vazquez can't afford to waste his time with this bunch of losers, ANCAP the governments monopoly on fuels managed to loose another U$D600M in the last four years (No Money Pepe) in addition to the U$D300M that the present VeeP managed to 'lose' as in he didn't know WTF happened to it when he was in charge of the crooks paradise.
And now the bastards want U$D1,000M for the next six years 'to stop them going in the red'! Un-fucking-believable! We have the highest fuel prices in SA at a time when oil is tottering below U$D40 a barrel!
Vasquez has 'asked' for a report from two financial departments as to who 'is to blame' in the ANCAP management and has stated he wants 'big' changes. Nothing about big cuts in the 50% labour cost in Pepe's Reign.
He should hand the lot to Petrobras UYU who does know who the customers are and it's not the fucking 'management'.
All this finally emerged into the gaze of the public just this week.
@1 Saxon, what elite? The presidents? No they are not the elite. The elite is who day and night gives his life for his country!

Uh oh, you've been identified as a “Saxon”!!
Brassiere,
Who is giving their lives night and day for their country, in Brazil?
Certainly not you or your pals.
Trying to call Communist insurrectionists “The Elite”, is laughable!
Bah ha ha!
Ok, I have already indulged you too much.
@4. Have you given your life for your country yet? How can you still post?

Absolutely. He is a joke listening to his own propaganda rather than opening his eyes to then world.
This is a man running an oil rich country where hospitals in Venezuela can't even get aspirin supplies.
But I doubt that Madurine watched the Simon Reeves series on the Caribbean portraying Venezuela in a particularly bad light, with corruption mentioned many times.
I couldn't believe the poverty there given the country's oil reserves, then remembered that the purpose of the Boliviarian revolution is to pretend to act for all the people but in reality to enrich those in power.
It is just possible that because Macri is wealthy, that perhaps he will not be salting Argentine government money away into secret bank accounts.
The revolution must continue, “El Paredon” for all Saxon speculators!

I wonder, my fake Brazilian, what it is you're trying to say...because it makes no sense in any language.
It is time for cfk to shut her damn cake hole while the real politicians of this country try to fix the mess she has made.

Dec 13th, 2015 - 03:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@11. If you look at most of the SoAm “contributors” have fallen into some sort of 18th/19th century time warp. There's on who calls himself “Think” as a joke because he never does. Instead he spends hours every day, except when he has to perform community service or is returned to the institution to have required medication forcibly administered, searching frantically for tenuously connected articles. Or selecting from his large store of ad hominem insults. Brasileiro is another example. Over time, it's been found that there were originally a number of users. Identifiable by different writing styles. It may be that a number have now departed to attempt useful lives. Leaving us with a fanatic nut-job who is, presumably, unemployable. Or it may be that it's a schizophrenic.
@13. Keep cool. Brafart likes people to lose their temper. If you track back you'll find that it NEVER makes cogent comments aimed at beginning an intelligent discussion. How could it? It knows that, given transmission speeds and other activities, it couldn't maintain an intelligent discussion for more than a few minutes of elapsed time. To be honest, it's best to ignore it. Unless you are up to a progression of tellingly crushing responses.
@14. But far more intelligent and educated than you. Can you explain this? A while ago, Brazil's economy temporarily overtook that of the UK. A source of much celebration amongst poorly-educated Brazilians. Now the natural order has been restored. The UK economy continues to improve. It even exceeds that of Germany. And it's solid. Meanwhile, Brazil's economy continues to fail. Not assisted by the likely involvement of da Silva and Rousseff in corrupt filching.

Don't bother trying to argue with those Brasileiros. It is like trying to herd cats.

Fresh news from Venezuela:
From El Universal in Caracas...
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro warned that he would not allow the opposition to enforce its supermajority at the National Assembly as of January 5, 2016 because ”they (the opposition) want to privatize the country.“
”We will not allow the right wing to consolidate its electoral coup because they played dirty,“ the president stressed in a speech before workers of state-run telecommunications company Cantv who staged a march on Tuesday in rejection of alleged privatization plans from certain sectors.
Maduro said that the government would rectify to further develop socialism and achieve ”the Bolivarian rebirth“”
What the hell does that mean anyway?
AND! ... what is this fuckin' “electoral coup” ?!?!!?
The MUD won a democratic election that was massively rigged against them? oops!
Most venezuelans want a CANTV, (which is also the country's largest mobile network, and therefore holder of meta-data on most citizens) to be free of Chavista control and influence.
If not, why else would they vote that way?
Also, something frightening!

‘Traitors': Venezuela Fires Dozens of Government Workers for Voting Against Socialism
-The socialist Venezuelan government has begun to purge its public agencies of workers who voted for the opposition in the December 6 election...
... Traitors … Out of Our Institution,” read a list of names posted before the Venezuelan Food Production and Distribution Agency, notifying those who worked at the agency but voted for the anti-socialist opposition that they were fired. The list included dozens of names, and the decision to publicly post their names appeared intended to publicly shame the workers, as well as goad socialist loyalists into harassing...
(see link)
How do they know who voted against them?
Dec 17th, 2015 - 03:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0Let's be clear, this is not how democracy works.
Troy.
Dec 17th, 2015 - 04:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0Exactly my point. How dodgy is that? Knowing which way you vote could lose you job, put your family out on the street (expelled from social-housing), become harassed and vilified in you local community, because your Boss of a Public Sector outfit, somehow not only had access to not only the Electoral Register, but the ACTUAL INDIVIDUAL VOTING RECORDS OF HIS EMPLOYEES!!!!!!!!
So, for the opposition to win in such circumstances, that's HUGE!
This corruption was on a local level, across the Country. I expect the real result was much, much higher for the opposition, but the incumbents just couldn't contain it, and just cut it off before it got into 'tsunami-territory' not just 'landslide'.
Yet I still see apologist articles from Western armchair champagne-socialist commentators bemoaning this 'temporary set-back' for the 'revolution' due to the 'CIA'/'Washington'/global hedge-fund managers/bogey-man of choice' etc.
I know which 'revolution' I prefer.
Scary, as you said.
