Text of the page (random words):
from the honest and legal behavior expected from such a high position is punished thus the nomination of the former head of the national electoral council cne to be a justice would not have even been considered in any other country but venezuela francisco carrasquero presided over the cne with mediocrity he was partisan to the end bending to the whims of the hugo chavez at each step both in the petition to gather the signatures and the recall vote he was the man that in the wee hours of august 16 th announced to the world a result that to this day is being questioned there had been no audit as agreed even the other directors of the electoral board were not allowed in the room where the votes were being totaled it was a typical political operation in the middle of the night and the gray and obscure carrasquero presided over it his partisan behavior earned him a position in the supreme court which his credentials as a lawyer did not qualify him for but he did the government s dirty work he deserved it he earned it he got it but it is now becoming clear that the former head of the cne was so unethical that he not only hired family members right and left but ran the cne like a corrupt warlord running his castle mind you this is not my opinion this i not my anti chavez posture getting the best of me this is the truth as expressed yesterday by the new head of the electoral board when he announced that he will void 1 086 personnel movements approved by the former president of the cne after he was named to the supreme court no i did not make a mistake it is indeed a four digit number one zero eight and six one thousand and eighty six people in an institution of 2200 you see mr carrasquero who has the ethics of gangster was named to the supreme court on december 13 th but stayed in his post at the cne until january 17 th where he simply acted like the gangster he is he approved hiring 354 new people and gave salary increases or named to other positions some 732 members of the staff of the cne now this was no small matter the cne has 2200 employees so mr carrasquero increased personnel by 16 and without having the funds promoted 30 of them this without consulting anyone way to go francisco but see this is nothing new before this took place mr carrasquero had named two of his brothers edwin and enrique to important positions in the cne one to a regional office and the second one as head of personnel of the cne in this position the cne hired nephews and nieces of carrasquero his wife and even his bodyguards let s look at some of them as detailed by tal cual sor elena luzardo was executive secretary of the cne since october 2003 she is the sister of julio luzardo who also started working there in 2003 they are the niece and nephew of edgar luzardo all three are relatives of carrasquero wife then there is jesus duran who started working at the cne in 2003 he is a cousin of andreina fuenmayor who also works there and karelys fuenmayor also staff of the cne the two sisters are nieces of carrasquero their second last name is carrasquero then there is soraya gonzalez a lawyer for the cne who is the niece of nestor perez carrasquero s bodyguard and childhood friend oh nestor s daughter ana karina also has worked at the cne since 2003 then there is carlos martinez son of altury tavarez who was carrasquero s assistant we also have ana carrasquero his niece ramiro finol carrasquero s neighbor oh i forgot the cne s regulations do not allow any two relatives working there up to the fourth level of cosanguinity thus you can see that carrasquero has no clue about why nepotism is not ethical and loaded the cne with relatives and friends during his tenure there and after he was ready to leave will carrasquero be removed from the highest court of the land of course not it has already become the lowest court of the land what would be considered normal behavior in any other country would never happen here in fact rumor has it that he will write the opinion of the majority in the case of the reversal of the decision of the constitutional hall in 2003 which said that there as no coup in april 2002 but a power vacuum this is remarkable jurisprudence it is the reversal of a decision made by the supreme court itself article 273 of the bolivarian constitution of venezuela written passed and approved by chavez and his comrades created the moral republican council to consider cases like this they should but i am sure they wouldn t as that council is composed by three of the sorriest characters of the revolution the people s ombudsman the attorney general and the comptroller all beyond reproach about their absolute loyalty and dependence from almighty hugo chavez thus venezuela s supreme court will continue to have the presence of this unethical incompetent and unprincipled man please don t ever forget that this is the same man that rushed to announce on the night of august 16 th that the no vote had won handily why there was no need to do it but he had to and was rewarded for it carrasquero a true hoodlum in our own supreme court posted in venezuela leave a comment in brief getting rid of opponents as any autocrat should february 26 2005 a judge has prohibited eight presidents of commercial banks two ex presidents of the central bank and two former officials of the bank superintendence from leaving the country they are being charged for usury in the case of indexed loans a judge ordered the capture of former president carlos andres perez for activating the plan avila in 1989 leading to the death of 200 people of course the 2002 coup occurred because ch vez activated the plan avila which led to more than 20 dead and hundreds injured but if chavez ordered he must have had a good reason to do it in his heart after all this is a pretty revolution the minister of information andres izarra sent the foreign press to hell because they did not respond to his lobbying efforts he also said he would start the ideological battle by funding alternate media jeez i wonder if i could get some funding this is definitely alternate media but i guess i inform i don t lobby so i probably don t qualify since opposition leaders henrique salas romer and salas feo did not go to the presidential palace in april 2002 and can t be charged for that the governor of carabobo state burping acosta carles will charge them with corruption and make them ineligible to run for any office the attorney general disqualified councilman carlos herrera accusing him of blocking and trying to hide those responsible for killing anderson rodriguez who is in charge of upholding the law in venezuela called herrera demential and mediocre the interesting thing is that rodriguez said three months ago when anderson was killed that the case would be solved within days accusing the opposition it was herrera who revealed that there was a lot of money in anderson s apartment and there had been a group of lawyers blackmailing people which turned the investigations towards a completely new direction which has been confirmed by all witnesses posted in venezuela leave a comment the final carter report and my critique on the panel that looked at the statistical evidence of fruad february 26 2005 being a masochist i have read most of the final carter center report on venezuela and the recall referendum i will not go through the agony of commenting on all of the things i disagree with but i did find it a little too self serving however there is one part that i definitely have to talk about because i have devoted lots of time to it in my personal life and in this blog chapter 13 in which the report talks about an independent panel on the allegations of statistical evidence for fraud pages 127 134 first on the panel there were four people in the panel who had the background that qualified them to be on it however the report says that they were independent experts who had not been involved in the venezuelan recall referendum i disagree prof jonathan taylor was used as a consultant by the carter center the week after the recall vote and his work was subject to criticism by the venezuelan scientific community which led him change his work and his conclusions so i would take exception to his presence in the panel as an independent in fact it appears to me that by independent the carter center seemed to imply that none of them were venezuelan a truly independent panel should not have included anyone that was involved worked on or published on the subject of the venezuela recall in the days following the vote this would have disqualified both prof rubin and prof taylor now as a scientist i find the whole procedure absurd anyway scientific ideas need to be discussed and debated the most useful panel would have been one of independents in which all of those that did some work on the subject are invited to defend discuss and debate their work and that of others the carter center has four conclusions the first one agrees with the work of two of the independent panelists but disagrees with the work of jimenez and valladares discussed in my section rrstudies and included in the discussion once again taylor s work is quoted but no mention is ever made of why jimenez is wrong the second conclusion refers to the work of hausmann and rigobon the conclusion is that there are other reasons why these results were obtained which have not been tested the third one refers to another conclusion by hausmann and rigobon and it is said that the panel has attempted to replicate the results and concluded that the anomaly is small maybe this should have been a reason to have someone like rigobon on the panel after all many people have been unable to replicate taylor s work but that does not mean that either side is right or wrong finally the panel concludes that there is insufficient evidence that benford s law applies to election results now here i must ask how many undergraduates does it take to screw this particular light bulb first of all the data for the yes vote in the recall does follow benford s law second the data from the 200 venezuelan presidential election also follows benford s law so why didn t the independent panel hire a couple of undergraduates to reproduce the work of pericci and mykoss on the recall vote and the venezuelan presidential elections instead of using data from chicago or the results for the valladares s model now that seems too involved and convoluted to me in fact i think the carter center should have looked at the last three or four presidential elections and referenda in venezuela by doing that simple study which can probably be done on a weekend by a couple of undergraduates then instead of saying that there is insufficient evidence they could have reached a very solid conclusion and would not have to use the word insufficient in fact if you look at the first graph that mykoss has here you would be hard pressed to say that the result of the 2000 presidential election does not follow benford s law and that was an election in venezuela not chicago the same could be said of pericci and torres how do you explain that the si follows benford s law but the no does not in fact in my old days as a professor and researcher if this were the conclusions of a lab report by a student or a paper submitted to me as a referee i would have given them a very low grade or rejected the paper more likely i would have sent them back to start all over again from the beginning telling them that their procedures for setting up the panel were not scientific and it was biased i would have also suggested that they needed to do a lot more work to support their conclusions before their lab report or paper is completed finally i can only express my amazement that no mention is made of the exit poll studies that question the results of the recall vote in fact the term exit poll is never mentioned in the text while there can be errors in the techniques used to make these polls the study by sanso and prado has some really strong conclusions which would be difficult to explain away even if the exit poll techniques were far from perfect in fact since it is never mentioned i can only wonder if it was simply set aside for the reason that they could not explain it away as we say in
