Subject: Re: [VHeadline Venezuela News] Roy S. Carson: This is why my heart bleeds profuse...
To: Roy S. Carson vheadline@googlemail.com
Thank you for your support: I believe that the Consejos movement will be the hammer that smashes the iron grip of the "Bolivarian" bureaucracy.
How to give the Venezuelan people more ground to stand upon in order to wield that hammer? We can't afford to be as tardy as Trotsky was in confronting the bureaucrats...we have to get to work undermining them without delay.
What can we, as foreigners, do, to help the genuine Venezuelan revolutionaries? My petition is one idea, but only one, on how to do that, as it has the potential of outflanking the bureaucracy.
Some thoughts:
a) If you really feel this is a valid suggestion, why not append your name toIf you have additional ideas, critiques, etc. please let me know: thanks so much for your support, not just for me, not just for the Venezuelan people, but for working people the world over: hasta pronto, y a la victoria, siempre, MKO.
the petition in the number 3 slot and send it back to be recirculated?
b) I look forward, not only to seeing this petition on the vheadline.com
blog (with more and more names appended to it) but on as many fora as possible.
c) I think that, just as I'm going to submit your article to
tlaxcala.com, I'll also resubmit my petition for retranslation/edition, letting
them know that English is my native language, and, if they support the petition,
please translate it into other languages and resubmit it to the appropriate
fora.
d) Finally, just as I'm asking for you to return/post the petition
with your name appended to it, I'll also use the search engines to make sure
that the latest edition of the petition is posted to all the fora to where it's
posted: once again, it's the petition-as-chain-letter concept.

That is a moot point! When asking the question "What can we as foreigners, do to help the genuine
ReplyDeleteVenezuelan revolutionaries?"
Perhaps the answer to that lies in remembering Venezuelan history. Hearken back to the British Legion (mostly Irish volunteers) that came to the aid of Simon Bolivar during the struggle for independence from Spain. Even that term foreigner seems out of place. Friends perhaps, but foreigners no! In a struggle it takes all kinds of people to come together to make it possible. So, I do not think the term foreigner is correct.
Remember the words of John F. Kennedy at the Berlin Wall. "."Ich bien ein Berliner." Well that applies in this case too. In this struggle we are all Venezuelans.
