Comments on: The promotion of hate and discrimination by the not so democratic Government of Venezuela http://devilsexcrement.com/2009/07/14/the-promotion-of-hate-and-discrimination-by-the-not-so-democratic-government-of-venezuela/ Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.

The authors offer a response to their earlier piece “United By Hate” (Boston Review’s July/August issue) on the website.

Check it out here: http://www.bostonreview.net/BR34.4/lomnitz_sanchez2.php

Lomnitz and Sanchez debunk some myths about Chavez’s policies and also provide the critique they say is “necessary” from the left.

Drugs are one of Chavez’ Achilles’ heels… this is indefensible.

The facts are going to come out: Plan Colombia has been neutralized by Chavez and FARC.

Today Chavez is the world’s biggest drug kingpin and that is a fact. Chavez does not have to be directly involved or even have knowledge but then how does a DC-9 with world-record cocaine load depart from Maiquetia? Ask Jesse Chacon and his concunado who ran ONA. Also ask Diosdado and his brother who ran the airport. And the list goes on….
