Text of the page (random words):
e a soap opera because one needs to look at the big picture and the littel details to try to understand if at all possible what is going on there azuaje is not very well known nationally up to now he has been loyal to the revolution so loyal in fact that he has been named to the board of the assembly a couple of times with the unanimous support of its members he has no known track record in any field other than sucking up to the boss and politicking in his own barinas state one of his few appearances in public was the injunction he asked against a reporter for defaming him the reporter accused him of having no known education job training being an ignorant and having no qualifications despite which he had accumulated substantial wealth in the years he had been a deputy of the national assembly the injunction was granted the chavez royal family is referred to that way as chavez father is governor of barinas state the brother is secretary of the state argenis and another brother anibal is mayor of sabaneta a city in that same state where chavze was born there are others adeliz is president of sofitasa a financial institution used to pay all of barinas public employees narciso who used to be in the canadian embassy and of course adan the educated one minister of education recall that chavez has always claimed he was poor when growing up which is why he joined the army this is not strictly true both his parents were high school teachers in a country where all teachers have the same salary independent of where they live or are just how many years they have taught moreover chavez has never explained how come his older brother adan managed to enter the university of los andes before he joined the army if poverty was an issue they were not poor but they were not rich either just lower to middle class azuaje all of a sudden got ambitious and sensing the weakness of the chavez name in barinas decided he could be governor thus despite the express prohibition by chavez for people to announce candidacies azuaje announced he was running in november however he also decided to go for the jugular and denounced the chavez family for corruption saying they have accumulated large pieces of land most of which they keep in somebody else s name he brought the evidence to the comptroller s commission of the national assembly and the stuff is apparently quite thorough so much that they had to admit it as evidence and open an investigation but nothing is straightforward in the revolution despite being the accuser the commission decided at the same session to investigate him for enrichment and there were even proposals to remove him of his parliamentary immunity deputies in venezuela receive immunity agaisnt prosecution so that they can speak openly without being threatened at every step only the national assembly can remove him of his immunity mostly in criminal cases and this assembly in particular has never gone that far but this is the president s family so azuaje certainly has his work cut out for him what azuaje charges is that the chavez family has been accumulating land around the only farm they owned when chavez became president in 1998 a farm by the name of la chavera la chavera is not huge a mere 30 40 hectareas but according to azuaje it had no cattle in 1998 and now has over 5 000 heads of cattle except he also charges they were removed last week after he presented his first accusations azuaje charges that la chavera is now huge as the royal family has accumulated the surrounding properties under other people s names more specifically he says that la chavera now has a person managing it who goes by the name of nestor izarra izarra an employee of the chavez family with barely us 2 000 in the only account he has in the banking system happens to be the new owbner of the neighboring farm la malague a which happens to be almsost 600 000 hectares in size something like 20 000 bigger than la chavera of course everyone wonders and has wondered how the manager of the 30 ha farm could buy the 600 000 ha one a question that has been asked for a long time but azuaje is the first one to bring it up publicly azuaje makes charges with as many as six farms surrounding la chavera and even said chavez daughter in law should be investigated as she not only owns a farm but has about 5 000 heads of cattle to her name but let s just focus on one aspect the farm owned by the manger of la chavera named la malague a has 600 000 hectares well according to chavez controversial land bill any farm over 5 000 hectares is consider a large farm state and should be expropriated in revolution that has taken over a british owned farm called el charcote which only had 13 000 hectares but somehow right under the eyes of the chavez family a neighboring farm has 600 000 hectares and nothing has been done about it in fact this weekend chavez announced taht he was taking over a 65 000 hectares farm in apure state one of the largest in the nation which in reality is small because it spends four months of the year under water and barely has 10 000 heads of cattle but while everyone worries about azuaje s charges nobody asks these bigger questions as to why these huge properties still exists next door to the chavez family while useless properties the one in apure is mostly a nature preserve the answer is nobody cares today the chavez family asked once again that azuaje s parliamentary immunity be removed and even nestor izarra claims he will prove how he acquired la malague a i would bet izarra does not even file income taxes despite his apparent wealth in the end this soap opera is about power chavez his family and the governorship and not about fighting latifundia large farm states or social justice it is in the end a barinas family feud or barinas peyton place in fcat i talked to a friend to find out who chavez plans to run as his candidate for governor in november and was not that surprised at the answer his mother elena truly a barinas family sopa opera posted in venezuela 1 comment colombian authorities recover depleted uranium in the hands of the farc as described in reyes computer march 26 2008 well the most far fetched and explosive revelation of the reyez computer was apparently confirmed today when it was revealed that the farc did indeed have 30 kilos of uranium while this will create a lot of scary headlines the truth is that this was a commercial transaction not an attempt by the farc to build any type of nuclear device or dirty bomb you see the uranium found apparently is not enriched i e it is mostly uranium 238 rather than the enriched version uranium 235 which would be required for a device the colombian authorities keep using the word empobrecido impoverished a term i had never heard but which must mean depleted uranium what is left after uranium is enriched and the enriched part is separated thus this may have actually have been a scam by the farc to make someone naively believe that they could enrich this stuff the possible buyer had to be fairly naive and or stupid jeez i can t help having an obvious suspect given this description given that depleted uranium 238 is much less radioactive than even the uranium found in nature one has to wonder where the farc got this stuff that should be a really interesting part of the never ending story of the stuff coming out of reyes computer i must say when i first read about it i thought this was a far fetched plan by the farc to obtain the stuff but if confirmed this proves the veracity of the material found in these computers posted in venezuela leave a comment annoying details of the use of technology by the exchange control office cadivi march 26 2008 you have to wonder how the government chooses technological suppliers the case of cadivi the foreign exchange control office comes into mind because from day one it has been a cumbersome system and it seems to get worse rather than better with time first of all while i commend the use of the internet for all tasks there is no way of having access to cadivi dollars unless you have an email and internet access in a country like venezuela this is a discriminatory tool because there is no alternative while people who live in caracas may find no problem finding a connection to the internet when 12 of the population is rural and only a fraction has direct internet access you may want to create more democratic paths to the whol thing for example you could have a paper mechanism whereby people supply forms to banks directly but i digress the first point is that anyone requesting cadivi dollars has to provide an email and register it used to be that you would try to enter the cadivi page and you would have to wait a while companies actually pay people to do it during the night and on weekend but rather than spend some money in servers or hosting the cadivi page in a hst with good bandwidth like banks do the problems has never been resolved a while back cadivi then decided to create days for access weekends are a free for all but then depending on which number your id card ends in you can only try it on a certain day of the week it still takes a long time to get in and i know people that have spent two or three weeks trying to get in to fill a form ironically this system is a lot like the pico y pala day that some caracas municipalities tried to implement to reduce traffic whereby if your license plate ended in a certain number you could not drive during the morning and afternoon rush hours the chavez government opposed this strongly as this was implemented in municipalities in the hands of opposition mayors the government opposed it on the grounds that it restricted the people s right to move around and judges immediately and not surprisingly issued injunctions banning these days funny that nobody has applied the same concept to ban cadivi from limiting people s rights to information which is in the constitution but i digress again cadivi has been abysmal about calling people to prove how they spent their cadivi dollars as business sprouted around requesting cadivi dollars to take advantage of the arbitrage it took a long time for cadivi to wise up to it finally they issued a list calling those in it to go to cadivi and prove how they had spent their subsidy the first list was a violation of people s privacy it was public and it contained people s names and id number cedula this is not only a violation of people s privacy but it provides information to crooks which now know your cedula number and could use it illegally in later lists they removed the names to protect people s privacy but what is truly annoying and absurd is the latest list of 60 000 people that have to provide receipts given that cadivi has everyone s email you would think they would simply send everyone in the list an email telling them to provide the information instead a 9 mb adobe acrobat file with 60 000 id numbers and request number is placed on the already overloaded cadivi website to make everyone s life miserable as hundred of thousands people attempt to download the list to see if they are in it other trying to get in to request their money can t do it and they lose their weekly chance to do it i don t know who are the geniuses that run the cadivi systems but if after five years of exchange controls they are so bad they should be fired unless of course they got the contract because they had a buddy in cadivi or they paid a bribe god forbid fortunately this morning i got up to watch the major league baseball game in japan early and i managed to get the download going it was still not done when i left for work almost wto hours later i now have the list and can email it to all my friends who want to know whether they are in it you see the penalty if you don t provide the receipts is one year in which you don t get your quotas for internet or travel and in a country where people are now obsessed from taking advantage of the oligarco burguesito arbitrage that is much worse and uncool than having your rights violated by being in the tascon facist list posted in venezuela leave a comment mision conuco higher education version march 25 2008 i found the article below in today s el nacional which was also sent to me by a friend probably concerned about its implications but what never ceases to amaze me is how two relatively intelligent and educated people like the minister of higher education and the minister of science and technology can defend programs like those described below these are people who spent their life financed by the government to do research in esoteric topics of scientific validity but who now seem to think they wasted their whole life because they did not work in conucos never heard them complain when they received funding to finance their fairly mediocre research projects and scientific careers moreover all technical studies show how the conuco is an unsustainable as a self supporting structure but since their big leader the almighty chavez defends it then it must be good maybe they have forgotten how to read or think what s next making them obligatory it would be better for the same students and or venezuela to have them spend their time programming in basic or fortran at least theyw ill learn how to think let history judge their stupidity education and society program university stsudnets will plant black beans corn and mandioca with the arrival of the rainy season the beginning of the program all hands to sow will also arrive a program which is being backed by the ministries of higher education agriculture and science and technology the project stipulates that students professors employees and workers organize themselves in brigades to plant mandioca corn and black beans in 100 hectareas that have been provided to 17 institutions the teams must have between five and seven members who voluntarily will sow sseds in may and will harvest the crops in september backed by producers from agrarian developments we will plant not only the established items but we will sow the conscience in all involved students about the need that their education point towards the development of the country explained minister luis acu a hector navarro minister of science and technology added that it means adding efforts to substantially increase productive capacity but not starting from the great units of production but from the small and medium size producers the program implies the practical substitution of agrochemical practices by an agroecological and sustainable focus and will receive consulting from cuban advisers posted in venezuela leave a comment a picture is worth
