Humans see "reality" to bits. For the vast majority "reality" is something like a picture you have up front. Time passes quickly and the picture changes fast too. Each one is a "snapshot" differently, and even those who see the same "picture" appreciate it differently. But nobody sees "the film complete! all see bits of the same reality, but it is more difficult to have the perspective to see the full sense of the events, and to understand well the "bits" which, as "trailers" for a longer film- are happening before our eyes ...
PHOTO of arrogance Take, as an example, the current political situation. If you see the snapshot of this week, a National Assembly approved in five days have not passed laws in five years without any public consultation, with no respect for the views of other Venezuelans, one hanging down thugs beat to full daylight in the presence of hundreds of witnesses, persons-in exercise of the rights that the Constitution, were the Commission to submit proposals or to request the right to speak, a President "demanding" to the National Assembly to make laws to enable it, and getting that "empowerment" even though the current Legislature is no longer the political situation and current opinion country, since the people elected a new Assembly to take office in just 15 days ... When you see that picture, abuse, violence, blatant violation of the Constitution, one can come to the conclusion that "this government is very strong, very powerful, very arrogant, oh, that fear gives a government like this, so arbitrary "...
FILM OF WEAKNESS But that conclusion may be very different if the film is complete. And the film is as follows: presidential elections in 2006, the President saw the possibility of finally its political project was transformed into a mainstream project. Until then, Chavez was only the first minority. But in 2006 Chavez was facing an opposition that came to suffer four defeats in succession: the Carmonazo April 2002 December Unemployment 2002-January 2003, the defeat in the 2004 recall and the absurd abstention in the 2005 parliamentary elections. The opposition was presented to the 2006 elections with that weight on their backs, with a candidate known only western country with an election campaign without financial resources. It is in this context that the President asked the city country "10 million votes for the crop", a request which Venezuelans responded "paint a bird": Indeed, the elections of 2006, 7.3 million votes CNE gives Chavez candidate representing 60% of the valid votes counted ... but only 46% of all eligible citizens to vote. According to figures from the CNE, 46% of people did defrayed by Chavez, 29% did so for the candidate of the opposition and 25% abstained. Once again, the ruling party still represents only the first minority ...
NOW IS ANOTHER THAT COMES WITH A SLOPE ...
DEFEATS
This situation has worsened for the citizen President: Of the four electoral confrontations that have occurred in the country 2006 until today, Chavez has won one and lost only three: lost the referendum on constitutional reform of 2007, won the election, "ambush" amendment "continued in February 2008, lost in the municipalities and governorates live longer half of the country in November 2008 and also lost parliamentary elections in September 2010, when candidates and lists of the opposition received 52% of the vote. For individuals President then the picture is clear: If you arrive at the 2012 presidential election in the same dynamic that has been experiencing a slow decline since 2006, the only certainty you have is defeat. Then is set to change the dynamics: Despite the outdated extremist sectors of the ruling party and the same opposition, Chavez knows he has to get to 2012, measured in the elections and win, because in this globalized world or a country like Honduras could be the luxury of a classic hit with impunity. To be sure of winning the election, Chavez has set a strategy with four sides: nationalize all or most of the private sector of the economy to break opposition internally financial support; Approves Foreign Assistance Act and the misnamed "Act Political Sovereignty "to prevent the opposition receives external resources; Approves Law Reform Spring and the Telecommunications Act to remove dissent few remaining means to express (Globovisión, some radios and Internet) and wants to pass a fascist Universities Act to remove the opposition a social setting where dissent can mobilize masses with relative ease.

SACRIFICE TO A COUNTRY FOR A KIND, IN THE NAME OF "PEOPLE" ... Put another way, the Citizen President is proving once again that it is capable of destroying the country's productive apparatus, criminalizing international assistance, slow communications technology in society and challenge the universities, if that does ensure his political survival. Because, of course, we are talking about is this: his political survival, her very own draft power. This has nothing to do with "saving the revolution" (because there is no revolution, no), or to ensure "the socialism of the XXI Century" (propaganda monster that nobody has been able to explain what is) or to defend the "power the people "(the same people who eleven years ago was" the sovereign "and is now demanding a huge mass some Help on the doors of shelters collapsed.) This strategy of destroying the country in exchange for a hypothetical electoral victory has nothing to do with "love of the poor": The poor were very badly for eleven years, but today we are much more: homeless, underworld, no work and a cynical type who stands before us to say you will do in the next twelve months which has not done in the last twelve years ...
That's the whole movie. The picture we are seeing today is not a "show of strength" of government. On the contrary, what is the ruling is showing weakness, helplessness and despair. This film could be called "Entangled: the hope of 1998 to the disappointment of 2012."
how to beat, from the perspective of those living and struggling in the popular sectors, the perverse strategy that sacrifices a whole country by an individual, write the next week.
