ROTFL ... picking myself up of the floor I have to realize that Switzerland is of course famous for its cuckoo clocks ... but this latest utterance from "Las Verdades de Andres (Izarra)" sure takes some beating in the comedy ranks of infamy!
Looking a little closer at the delusion, it dawns on us that the perpetrator is none other than Alexandro Fleming, Venezuela's haplessly incompetent and media-shy Deputy Foreign Minister for Europe who was at an investors' forum in Zurich on Monday (November 17).
- ...and if the joke was NOT enough, Flemming (heading a Venezuelan delegation on the all-expenses-paid joyride!) actually said that "Venezuelan provides the legal framework for foreign investors with all necessary guarantees for the successful development of investment projects!"
Tell that mischievously tall tale to foreign investors in Canadian gold mining corporation, Crystallex International, Mister Fleming!
I guess you'll have to immediately duck for cover considering that they've already punged out something around $300 million on infrastructure projects such as health centers, sewerage works etc., etc. ... AND gave $15 million four years ago to support then-CVG president Francisco Rangel Gomez' bid for the governorship of Bolivar State!
Kinda sticks in your craw, doesn't it?
Super legality-secure Venezuela -- that's supposedly enjoying phenomenal stable (?) and sustained (?) economic growth -- that told Bloomberg/Reuters et.al. that Chavez is going to put all that through the shredder and tell the Canadians to 'shove it' and turn a legally secure signed-and-sealed contract on Las Cristinas over to the Russians...
...or is it that Fleming and entourage are more concerned with securing their
own investments in numbered Swiss bank accounts and to hell with both the
foreign investors AND the luckless miners who are still whistling in the wind
for the promised payments that are now years overdue. Perish the thought!
Ambassador Fleming: Venezuela's legal security for foreign investments? Stable and sustained economic growth?
PHOOEY! HUMBUG!
The only conclusion is that Ambassador Fleming's got his springs stuck up one of those otherwise cute Cuckoo Clocks!
Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

Venezuela is facing the most difficult period of its history with honest reporters crippled by sectarianism on top of rampant corruption within the administration and beyond, aided and abetted by criminal forces in the US and Spanish governments which cannot accept the sovereignty of the Venezuelan people to decide over their own future.
