"OAS rights report criticizes Venezuela" by Juan Forero, Washington Post | February 25, 2010
Oh, I stand corrected.
WASHINGTON - The human rights branch of the Organization of American States issued a blistering 300-page report against one of its members yesterday, saying the regime of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez constrains free expression, the rights of civilians to protest, and the ability of opposition politicians to function.
Translation: the OAS is a mouthpiece for AmeriKan Empire!
Here we have a COUP in HONDURAS that HAPPENS RIGHT under their NOSES and that has ALL BUT DISAPPEARED from the news coverage!
Instead we get this drivel as news in my newspaper -- and I'm so tired of it, world.
The report is expected to draw a sharp response from the firebrand leader, a former army colonel who in 2008 expelled two Human Rights Watch investigators after they released a critical report in Caracas. Chávez has in the past railed against the OAS as beholden to the interests of the United States, a country he calls an empire with diabolical designs on Venezuela.
Yeah, the agenda-pushing MSM has to use the inflammatory rhetoric here because it is the TRUTH!
And I will SPELL it OUT FOR YOU: O-I-L
Btw, ever look at a map and see the proximity of Haiti and the Venezuelan coastline?
Pretty good staging ground for attack and invasion (as well as the concealed U.S. military build-up in Colombia) which I'm sure will be a surprise.
The OAS report, compiled by the body’s Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, reflects concern in the region over how Venezuela is governed. It has added weight because the OAS, which is made up of 34 countries and based in Washington, has at times been viewed by critics as weak-willed when it comes to making tough pronouncements about the internal machinations in member states.
But six members of the Commission on Human Rights - 75 jurists and rights activists from Antigua, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, El Salvador, and the United States - put together a detailed report that asserts that democracy is in danger in Venezuela.Tend to your OWN HOUSE FIRST because THAT is a LIE!
The guy is POPULAR THERE because he has helped the people!!!!
Point by point, the report asserts that the state has punished and silenced critics, among them antigovernment television stations, demonstrators, and opposition politicians who advocate a form of government different from Chávez’s, which is allied with Cuba and favors state intervention in the economy.
I'm sick of the stirring of the pot and comingling of all perceived enemies. After a while, you realize it is USrael and its poodle puppy dogs of Western Europe and that's it. Everyone else a "threat" or "enemy."

And yes, the firebrand did respond and the AmeriKan MSM distorted, 'er, reported it.
"Venezuela denies that it violates human rights" by Christopher Toothaker, Associated Press | February 26, 2010
CARACAS - President Hugo Chávez said yesterday that Venezuela should boycott the human rights body of the Organization of American States, saying the panel wrongly accused his government of political repression.
Chávez took issue with a report issued this week by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which cited widespread human rights violations in Venezuela. The socialist leader called the 300-page report “pure garbage.’’
I tend to agree with that.
“We should prepare to denounce the agreement in which Venezuela joined . . . this terrible Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and leave it,’’ Chávez said during a television address.
Rights activists praised the account issued by the rights committee, saying it sheds light on widespread rights abuses.
Since Gaza and the US.-initiated Muslim slaughters I've lost all respect for Zionist-supported western rights organizations. Sorry.
The report released Wednesday at OAS headquarters in Washington complains of a lack of independence for Venezuela’s judiciary, the closing of news media outlets that are critical, and political discrimination and repression under Chávez.
“We don’t recognize the commission as an impartial institution,’’ said Gabriela Ramírez, the Venezuelan government’s top rights guarantor. Ramírez said the report incorrectly concludes that “the Venezuelan state threatens democracy and human rights.’’
The report condemned the procedures for appointing and removing judges, saying the regulations “lack the safeguards necessary to prevent other branches of government from undermining the Supreme Court’s independence.’’
Memories of Bush's AttorneyGate, 'eh, 'murka?
Government opponents have long complained that the Supreme Court - whose members are appointed by the predominantly pro-Chávez National Assembly - has been packed with the president’s allies, giving him nearly unlimited power. Chávez denies holding sway over justices.
You know WE HAVE OUR OWN PROBLEMS HERE in AmeriKa!
This is for VENEZUELANS to figure out WITHOUT U.S. INTERFERENCE!!!
The OAS commission also called attention to an increase in sanctions against news media, singling out the case of Globo- vision, a television news network that is fiercely critical of Chávez.
That sounds good to me if you are talking about the damn newspapers!
Globovision has been fined for allegedly violating broadcast regulations, and Chávez has threatened to shutter the network.
But it is STILL ON AIR, huh?
Why did he fine 'em? Did they SHOW a BOOB or SWEAR on TV like HERE, 'murkn?

No need to do that in the U.S.: AmeriKan MSM is self-censoring and fully on board with the agenda.
I've got it!

"Leader of Basque group arrested, Spain says" by Associated Press | March 1, 2010
MADRID - ETA chief Ibon Gogeascoechea and two other suspected separatists were arrested in a joint French-Spanish police operation in the village of Cahan, France, following a long surveillance operation on a cottage that had been rented using false identity papers, said Spain’s interior minister, Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba.
Well, gee whiz, who would want to do a thing like that?
I know, you are saying "What does that have to do with Venezuela?"
Just wait for it....
"Court ties Venezuela to Basque plot" by Associated Press | March 2, 2010
MADRID - A Spanish judge accused Venezuela yesterday of collaborating with Basque separatist militants and Colombian rebels, saying the groups plotted to assassinate Colombia’s president in Spain.
Judge Eloy Velasco made the allegation in a 26-page indictment in which he charged six members of the Basque group ETA, most of them exiled in Latin America, and seven members of the Colombian leftist rebel group FARC with a variety of crimes, including terrorism and conspiracy to commit murder.
You sure it was them, or....
"undercover US agents posed as rebels from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known by its Spanish acronym, FARC"
I smell ANOTHER FALSE-FLAG SET-UP, don't you?
Spain must have gotten tired of the harassment and threats from USrael over the war crimes cases being brought to trial.
Spain has asked the Venezuelan government and President Hugo Chávez for an explanation.
Velasco wrote that a Spanish investigation launched in 2008 has turned up evidence “that demonstrates Venezuelan governmental cooperation in the illicit collaboration between FARC and ETA.’’
He identified a suspected ETA member, Arturo Cubillas Fontan, as a key figure in links between ETA and the FARC. The man lives in Venezuela, has held a job in the Chavez government, and may still have one, the judge wrote.
Then he is a CIA plant, isn't he?
ETA members have received training or taught in FARC camps and FARC members have traveled to Spain to try to kill former Colombian president Andres Pastrana and the current president, Alvaro Uribe, with help from ETA, Velasco wrote....
Yeah, whatever. I'm not buying anymore.

What else is new in Spain, according to the divisive, distorting, and deceptive AmeriKan MSM as chosen by the Glob, dear readers?
MADRID - The new law allows the procedure without restrictions up to 14 weeks and gives 16- and 17-year-olds the right to have abortions without parental consent....
Carmen Duenas, a spokeswoman for the leading conservative opposition Popular Party in the Senate, said: “The government wants to do away with one of the pillars of Spanish society, which is the family.’’
Actually, it's true. Agenda-pushing government and Zionist MSM are doing everything they can to divide us so we don't see the true criminals for who they really are and will slaughter millions in sacrifice to them.
