Chavez is the only one who can bring all of his thugs in line. Them without him will only mean complete anarchy.

On the other hand and as been said a few times Chavez and his cronies won’t go without a bloody fight. I’m sure some groups have plans for “after Chavez” since them, unlike the opposition, always have a plan, but I don’t think we’ll see “chavismo sin Chavez” in the near future. After all, they have a lot of money and a lot to loose (and more than one may have every once in a while flashbacks of the “witch hunt” that followed the two or three days right after the 11 de abril).

This may be the end of the first face of the revolution. There is a Machiavellian move towards Chavismo sin Chavez… Carrizales was his lap dog. Diosdado is trying to call the miliatry shots and at the same time trying to temp one of many conspiracies in the works. Cubans and others meddling too.

To Eva Golinger: kiss my ass where the sun don’t shine sweetie.

That’s great that Diehl sourced things back here. So you are making a difference, Miguel, and that’s what good journalism is about. Salud, chamo.

That much said, Diehl still overstated his case. The problem is that while Chavez might get chased out of office once the whole Hugo socialist experiment face plants, but all the incompetant Chavistas are in power now- in industry, oil, communicaations, power, et al – and what do you think the process will be to route them out? It shant be “linda,” as they say.

Feo, yo pen. Lastima!
