Patricia Phelps Parker de Cisneros: Typical Bourgoise Hypocrisy

As dopey and busy as we are in our littleness and very limited vision of our world and its problems along with their unattainable solutions, in our exhausting path towards the emancipation of our minds we overlook our true class enemies, those who keep us in the deepest and infinite ignorance by their systematical and merciless economical exploitation, political domination, genocidal militarization, social discrimination and human alienation.

Our main battle, whose victory determinates the real value of our other grievances, the battle of ideas, necessarily lead us to the full identification of those who currently control the main communication and education (mind control) media for the working masses, who are not the outdated national states and their ridiculous political operators precisely, but the multinational corporations and their real owners (not their figureheads, simple members of the payroll), along with their true ideas, values and moral principles, and not the ones they want to impose on us to keep us submissive and conformist.

That is how we find this typical and clear example of the capitalistic and bourgoise moral double-standard incarnated in Doña Patricia Phelps Parker de Cisneros, an art and couture collector, wife of the Cuban-Venezuelan media tycoon Gustavo Cisneros Rendiles, one of the richest in Latin America and the world, at the same time president of the Cisneros Foundation, an institution who acts as a front for her powerful husband's dirty business.

Officially this foundation operates as a publishing entity of the arts and the culture and to promote education all over the continent, by exhibits, scholarships, courses and a cable and satellite TV channel named Clase. What is worth to know is what kind of culture and art these kind-hearted, philanthropic and globalized bourgoises promote, noting that the very valuable work of arts exhibited are tightly kept inside impregnable vaults in New York, and only are brought to light to a selected public for a brief period of time; or what kind of educational model and which are the contents tought by those media, which only reach a very limited audience too, the one who can pay a subscription.

But as "Patty" tours Latin America promoting the spiritual and human development of the spanish-speaking elites, on the one hand, her enterprising husband promotes a TV channel that broadcasts "adult" content, that is pornography, thru his heterogeneous Cisneros Group, on the other hand, something that frontally collides with the very awarded Cisneros Foundation mission and vision, and threats to demolish all its laudable goals, because the formation achieved in children could be deformed in adults thru this kind of "entertainment".

How can they explain these kind of contradictions within the same organization and starred by the same people?

Do they at UNESCO, who regularly awards the Cisneros Foundation, know that its president's husband owns and sells pronographic content?

Would Patty allow her daughters or nieces to watch or participate in any show from her liberal husband's TV channel?

Playboy TV Latin America, as part of the Cisneros Group, is part of the peculiar educational model of this family?

How to match a classroom and Playboy Mansion?

In the end all this is about making profit from the minds and bodies of both future ruling elites and ruled masses, whereas the first will be educated with class and will have fun with the bunnies, and the latter will get the ideological leftovers, previously munched and digested by the elites, thru their usual channels: the church, the school and free and mediocre TV, sinking them into the deepest ignorance, whereas because of it they will inexorably serve as "human material" for the selected and "adult" shows broadcasted in the bunny channel. A closed and perfect vicious circle to perpetuate the eternal domination of the few over the rest.
