Freddy said "Friends we need your help!
The costs associated with the maintenance of El Quinto Motor website to continue helping to promulgate truthful update information needs your contribution, no matter how little the amount.
- "Since elquintomotor.com.ve took up the challenge to support the campaign for truthful information against media terrorism, the website has reached its highest levels in terms of bandwidth and we need YOUR help to continue to grow!"
We at VHeadline Venezuela News encourage everyone to help Freddy survive!
The question, however, we must ask is if the Bolivarian Revolution is simply a dream ... that we must wake up to reality and recognize that the dream is quickly turning into a veritable nightmare as corrupt power groupings within the administration (and outside of it too!) conspire to defeat everything good and honorable about President Hugo Chavez Frias' best ambitions to carve an egalitarian future for Venezuela and Venezuelans.
Look at the realities!
Why indeed should Freddy Gomez and others (such as VHeadline) need to call upon the charity of readers in Venezuela and around the world to fight the media battle for 25,000,000 Venezuelan citizens. Why is it that corrupt officials in the administration are strangling independent media outlets, squeezing the very life out of the grassroots news-media weapons set against the heavy artillery of the US State Department and Spanish government psych-ops guerrillas who seek every avenue to distort and disinform about the good things that are happening in Venezuela?
Where is the logic of giving a US$9 million top-up to Danny Glover's already designated $21 million to produce a movie about an obscure freedom fighter in Haiti who has little or no relevance to Venezuela's status quo and has very little prospect of reaching more than a few socialist bums-on-seats i.e. those who can tear themselves away from the latest Hollywood sex opera or The Simpsons?
Just imagine for a split second what Freddy Gomez at http://www.elquintomotor.com.ve/ could beneficially achieve for the Bolivarian Revolution if he were to receive even a percentage of a percentage of the munificence bestowed on Danny Glover's project?
Then again: Ask yourself WHO benefits from the $30 million to Danny Glover Productions? Okay, a large wad will presumably end up in Danny's pocket but, closer to home, what sums will the Venezuelan "fixers" and the covert "manipulators" pocket from the deal -- is the extra $9 million what's needed for their pay-offs?
Is it beyond the imagination of anyone in the upper echelons of government to understand that ambitious 'sifrinos' in the administration are manipulating the Venezuelan government into furthering their personal ambitions as "wannabe" movie Hollywood executives thanks to the Venezuelan public purse ... the reality is not so far distance from the imagination knowing some of the shadowy figures that have been involved in the Danny Glover deal...
Does it really need a re-write of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Emperor's New Clothes" to understand the extent of the wool being pulled over President Hugo Chavez Frias eyes by the quislings closest to him in Miraflores. With friends like these, President Chavez certainly does not need more enemies than he already has.
They say that Britain almost lost the First World War against Germany because, while it had massive guns at its disposal capable of firing volleys across massive distances that could reach behind the German lines, the British government had failed to ensure the guns has sufficient ammunition and explosive with which to do the job. Mindlessly, the Generals sent soldiers of the top of the trenches and into no-man's-land without anything more than a simple rifle and their 'Faith in God, King and Country'
- Millions died -- just like millions more have died in armed conflicts since -- they never learn from history but turn expendable citizens into cannon fodder to satiate their greed.
Yes, we can understand that President Chavez is a military man, conditioned to giving orders to his subordinate officers in the knowledge that, like he (Chavez) they are honor-bound to serve the Venezuelan people ... NOT George W. Bush, NOT the Pentagon, NOT those who would actively seek to damage the Venezuelan people by their subterfuge and sedition!
It is therefore strange to outsiders such as ourselves that President Chavez Frias appears to be blind (or deluded) as to the clear and imminent danger of the Quislings and Gauleiters who give pretext to serving Venezuela rather than their own. How often we have heard "I am revolutionary" from the lying mouths of officials who delude themselves that the government administration is their personal playground from which they are enabled to grab what they can while the going is good?
Is this the true nature of the Bolivarian Revolution? Scarcely!
Chavez knows that his Bolivarian Revolution must gather strength from the bottom up -- not the inverse. The government is there to serve the people in honesty and revolutionary zeal for the Venezuelan people. Officialdom's allegiances must be to the grassroots Venezuelan people they are supposed to serve; they must seek and accept guidance from the Councils (Consejos) that make up the backbone of the Bolivarian Revolution. All else is chimera!
Around the world people are asking what went wrong with the Bolivarian Revolution ... why the dream is turning into a veritable nightmare!
Those who had put their faith in Chavez to deal decidedly with corruption are now questioning if indeed he had other ambitions when they see corruption rampant in hallowed government hallways of power in Caracas; corrupt officials in charge of embassies and consulates around the world ... and all the while Venezuela's international reputation (if any such remains) is plumbing the depths somewhere hitting rock bottom along with Nigeria, Zimbabwe and North Korea ... is this really what the Venezuelan people want? Is it not rather a disservice to the Venezuelan people and their aspirations for a promised land of collective prosperity and personal security?
Why then are so many of those who were previously in almost fanatic support of what the Bolivarian Revolution ambitions ... why are they so afraid of raising their heads above the parapets to be sniped at, slandered and cast as traitors to the Revolution when it is the very Quislings and Traitors within the administration who are making a mockery of true Venezuelan democracy, constitutionality and the rule of law?
One such true revolutionary recently admitted that "The Bolivarian Revolution is all but lost in Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia ... the corrupt cliques see a truly independent media as being a danger to their evil designs; they want to manipulate and seize control; dictate what or what not the people should know ... they do not tolerate critique! Well-meaning criticism (which is the essential feedstock to any democratic debate) is quashed, repressed..."
What to do about it? What can we who respect President Chavez and love everything that HE has tried to achieve over the last nine years ... what can we do to help cure the cancer of corruption that undeniably has taken hold in the Venezuelan administration?
The simple answer is NOTHING!
It has been said before that you can take a horse to the water but you cannot make it drink!
The Venezuelan people have the thirst for knowledge; they see the lake of cool refreshing water before them and their urge is to drink, to quench the thirst for freedom that is within their very beings ... but they cannot drink the refreshing water, they cannot quench their thirst because they are still shackled to the cart of corruption with little or no hope of dragging the heavy load to the water's edge unless the brakes on the wheels are somehow unjammed and they can use what is left of their collective energies to get there ... to achieve the promised land of social well-being and freedom that everyone bar the corrupt cliques in government so earnestly desire.
